Surrounded by the snowcapped Boise Mountains, I was told that spring had arrived super early this year. The bounty of craft beer flowed freely within the festival\u2019s ale fort, inspiring me to search out some of the nation\u2019s other festival planners with craft beer on their palates.<\/p>\n<p>Summer is here, y\u2019all! I don\u2019t know about you, but I plan to raise my fair share of pints wherever I go, including some of the most unique ways to celebrate the craft. From hiking and biking to balloons and tunes, I\u2019m hitting the road in search of my new favorite festivals, not to mention great patios worth sitting a spell. The water\u2019s plenty warm, and the suds plenty cold.

Chicago reportedly has more breweries than any other city in America, with more than 160. Each month a different neighborhood will be showcased:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/chicagotastingpass.myshopify.com\/\">Gallagher Way in Wrigleyville<\/a> (which took place on May 27), Bridgeport (June 24), Chicago Brewing District (August 26), and Ravenswood (September 16).

Bale Breaker Brewing Company just completed an expansion of its patio to include fire pits and great places to hang out just in time for Ales for ALS on June 25. The family, who has a history of ALS, has embraced this cause, donating a blend of experimental hops every year to more than 130 breweries around the U.S. who create a signature brew and donate at least $1 per pint to the cause, collectively raising more than $4 million since 2013 toward ALS research. As part of the Ales for ALS festivities, Bale Breaker brews an annual release of Bubba\u2019s Brew in honor of the uncle of co-owners Meghann Smith Quinn and Kevin Smith.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yosemitethisyear.com\/eventdetail\/15351\/ales-and-trails-pack-supported-trekking-with-symg\">Southern Border of Yosemite National Park, Calif.: Ales and Trails<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>July 13\u201317<\/p>\n<p>Beginning and ending at Bass Lake, this five-day, pack-supported backpacking trip is an experience of a lifetime featuring stunning mountain scenery and craft beers.
