Did you know Ales for Trails is dog friendly?!

We've had numerous dogs participate in this fun event, and they love it (look how happy these two are)! They'll also get a post-race dog treat and dog beer, on us!

Ales for Trails wouldn't be possible without our crew of amazing volunteers! We're currently looking for a few extra people that want to lend a hand during this years event on November 2nd.

We're looking for volunteers to help with registration, water stations, and time keeping. If you can help, please send us a message or reach out to Alicia (alicia@portrextonbrewing).

Heads up!

You only have ONE day left to register to make our t-shirt order deadline. After tomorrow, you can still register for the race, but won't get a t-shirt option in your registration pack.

How many A2T shirts do you have collected so far?!

We have some mid-day live music this weekend!

After running Ales for Trails on Saturday, November 4th, meet us back at the taproom at 2pm to listen to Chris Lacour! Post-run vibes at the PRB taproom are always at an all time high. The relief of finishing the race, cold beer in one hand, in the other, and listening to live music from Chris Lacour!

The taproom will of course be open to all (participants and the public). Get out of your gear, grab a seat and settle in for the afternoon!

Great Shot of Klondike Trail by Sheldon Hicks

My new favorite spot on the Bonavista Peninsula. So many stunning sea/landscapes, sea stacks and rock pillars to see in this cove. It's like seeing it for the first time each time I visit.
