Long Trail Brewing unveils 168-beer pack for National Trails Day
BRIDGEWATER CORNERS, Vt. (WCAX) – A Vermont brewery is living up to its name to help celebrate the outdoors.
Long Trail Brewing Company is unveiling its “Reallllly Long Trail Ale Pack” in honor of National Trails Day this weekend. They believe it will be the largest single-unit commercially available beer package in the country.
The design for the packaging is 273 centimeters long, reflecting the 273-mile Long Trail that cuts through the length of Vermont. It also holds 168 beers and needs three people just to carry it. The brewery’s Jordan Kellem hopes it can encourage people to, as they say, “Take a Hike!”
“We’ve been brewing beer for a long time, and it’s increasingly more difficult to stand out. And at the end of the day, we have to remind ourselves we’re in the beer industry and it’s a fun industry to be a part of, so we want to have some fun and do what we do,” Kellem said.
They’re also giving back with $15,000 in donations to local trail systems across the state.
National Trails Day is Saturday, June 7.
