Riding Mare Island with Tails, Ales & Trails

Turns out the best way to see Mare Island is from a bike seat, with a cold one at every stop.

‍

Our founders Kent Fortner and Ryan Gibbons recently spent a morning pedaling the island with Nick Woodard, host of Tails, Ales & Trails — a podcast built around the great outdoors and the craft beverages that pair with it. They rolled through the old shipyard, stopped at a handful of the historic sites that gave our beers their names, and cracked a few cans along the way.

It's a behind-the-scenes look at the living history of Mare Island, and at what happens when you put two brewery co-founders on bicycles and let them talk about the shipyard for an hour.

Pour yourself a pint and hit play. Then come do the ride yourself — the Coal Shed Brewery is right there on the Mare Island waterfront when you're ready for a post-ride pint.
