Gabe and Olivia Sutton developed a service,
\ncalled Hoppy Trails Brew Bus LLC, that offers
\nan easy way to experience local breweries,
\ndistilleries, and wineries in the upstate area.
\nOlivia Sutton said the service lets them be
\ntour guides to “hoppy-ness.”<\/p>\n

Hoppy Trails Brew Bus tours offers guided
\nbus tours to local craft beverage establishments
\nin the upstate area of Warren, Washington,
\nSaratoga counties.
\nIt comes after the Adirondack Regional
\nChamber of Commerce developed a tour program
\nas a new tourist attraction in the area.<\/p>\n

Once patrons arrive at destinations, private
\ntours are given of the facility, including the
\nopportunity for people to sample what’s on tap.
\n“We want you to board our bus, relax and
\ndiscover this flourishing upstate ‘must see’ in
\nlocally crafted beers, wine and moonshine,”
\nsaid Sutton.
\nSutton said the couple needed a change,
\nthey wanted a venture that would bring them
\njoy.<\/p>\n

“For the past few years we have been looking
\nfor inspiration, something to set off a series
\nof events that would lead us to one ultimate
\ngoal: Work hard and have fun doing it,” she
\nsaid. “We come from varied backgrounds:
\nworking in food service, moonlighting with
\nthe idea of becoming a brew master or distiller,
\nand two of us even dabble in the world
\nof public education.”<\/p>\n

Sutton said the concept for the business
\ncame about this past summer while on vacation.
\nShe and her family were dining at a local eatery and brew pub when a family member
\nasked if there was hops growing outside.<\/p>\n

“She had read several articles about the
\nbooming hops operations in our local area
\nof upstate New York. The dinner conversation
\nthen turned to all the local breweries,
\ndistilleries and wineries popping up in our
\narea. We chatted about how great it would be
\nto somehow connect them, creating a network
\nof local beverage stops, a new take on hiking
\nthrough the Adirondacks. The concept of
\nHoppy Trails was born” said Sutton.<\/p>\n

“It’s our goal to work hard, plot out the
\nperfect trail route for you to enjoy what these
\nAdirondack beverage businesses have to offer.
\nNo hiking boots are required. Just a willingness
\nto enjoy some brews and have fun doing
\nit,” said Sutton.<\/p>\n

Their target customer is anyone who loves
\nto experience craft beverages. They welcome
\ncouples, groups of friends and family, and
\nanyone who is looking to sample the growing
\ncraft beverage industry.<\/p>\n

The tours will range in price from $45 to
\n$55. All tours include snacks and a larger Saturday
\ntour will include dinner. Ticket prices
\ninclude samples at establishments.<\/p>\n

Hoppy Trails is partnered with Common
\nRoots, Mean Max, Adirondack Brew Pub,
\nCoopers Cave, Springbrook Hollow Distillery,
\nSaratoga Winery, Thirsty Owl and Lake George
\nDistillery, all located in Saratoga and Warren
\ncounties.<\/p>\n

You can find more information on Facebook,
\nInstagram and Twitter. The phone number is
\n361-3087.<\/p>\n
