What is Beer in Beautiful Places?
Hi, I’m Maddie! Celebrating an outdoor adventure with a beer has been a long-time tradition for me, and I wanted to create a platform for like-minded folks to come together. In my videos, I cover all types of adventures and review beer! Topics include day hiking, kayaking, travel, thru-hiking, and life on the road. In short, if you would describe yourself as an outdoorist, outdoorsman, outdoorswoman, hiker trash, nomad, or dirtbag, come on along, this is the channel for you! Welcome and cheers!

A little something to help your trip
BTW, I am obsessed with your content!
Thanks! 🎉
Those stars! ✨ so pretty. Glad you’re taking extra care in the cold mountains
4:44 I agree! I did work for stay washing dishes for 2 hours and the food wasn't that good and I got no sleep on the dining room floor. One and done! I'd rather stealth camp in the Whites. Stop by the huts to use the bathroom and fill up my water from the spigot on the outside of the hut and move on.
12:24 Love Smokemasters hat lmao
The trail is going to be like that from now on so be extra careful, ok? And boogy on, Maddie. You are racing snow mid-October up there. Hurry! But carefully! Pick up a warmer fleece, extra socks, and wear plastic bags over your socks to keep your feet dryer. LIttle bit extra supplies, next time you are in town. You are going to need it and be glad to have it.
I have been worrying about the distance they still need to cover, too! Oct. 15th is in 2 weeks.
Even the lower elevations in the north woods in NH are getting frost in the mornings.
Rumor is that it's gonna be warm days but colder than usual nights through Oct.
These videos are a couple weeks behind. I just hope she posts a "I'm done" video in real time!
I absolutely love the Franconia notch area. It’s so beautiful!
Smoke is the cutest
Great video, looks brilliant 😊
You guys are killing it! :)
Thanks Nic! Smoke misses you so much!
But the show must go on!!!😊
Yikes - that mud at 17:30!! Definitely don't want to fall into that!
The rainbow is amazing. 10 miles in the Whites is an excellent distance for anyone especially this year with all of the rain.
That was a tough one ,, but you did it !!! 👏👏👏
Your journey just keeps getting more amazing.
You are experiencing New Englanders! If you are expecting hospitality, stay in the south. These people are some of the most self sufficient people in the world but not known for their kindness to strangers in my experience.
Smoke with the kind words at 14:20, followed by "your move" lol.
Been following your progress for the whole journey, your doing great
Question for ya-
When you are anticipating a certain shelter or hostel, etc is this something you knew about before you started the AT or are you researching from a book every day?
Thanks. 🙏🏻
8:48 Spruce grouse! ❤️ I got to take pictures that close to them last year. So special! 😊
2:23 I will remember hiking down that waterfall the rest of my life! Awesome memory! ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for the flashback Ranger!
That mud was deeeeeep. I would've been the one who walked right into that trap!
17:18 Last year that area was flooded. Water was up to the boards. I jumped across that sunken board last year and slipped off and got both my feet wet and muddy! It sucked but cracks me up now. 😅😅😅
Thank you for all of your hard work sharing your adventures and gorgeous views. 💕
17:03 I remember how bad that climb sucked! 😂 Keep killing it in the Whites! You got this!!! ❤
The clip of the night sky was so beautiful ❤️
what the heck am I supposed to watch when you finish! seems like that's soon. good luck 😊
8:22 Ten miles a day in the Whites is a hard day! You are going great!!! That view is amazingly beautiful!!!! 🤩😍🤩
When i was in jail....they didnt give me right blanket setup. So i had no sheet. And it was freezing every day. And They put me under acs. When i got a proper setup. It made a world of a difference.A Sheet.... wool blanket and another sheet on top.....just like that.....wow!
..... And i know it seems like its nothing......but it was a huge difference. Alot of survival tips in jail. Adding stuff to your ramens....like smashed up bbq chips or cheetos.......roasting your ramens before cooking them to make chinese food. Huge difference.
And i notice you are not sleeping well.....can you get a hold of a sleep aid.....they do help so you can get a heavy sleep. Im a anti pill person......now im wise enough to know take the help when you need it.
-me and the scientists.
Bacon wrapped, double pigs ear. These names are hilarious 😂
Aloha Maddie, Glad You have company with your friend. I like him his really a nice guy. Safe Journeys and LOVE and GOD Bless You Both. Keep Smiling You two❤❤⚘🥰🙋♀️🙏
Incredible scenery! Thanks 🙏🙂
1:00 Awe you are so sweet!
I think you guys are doing a great job.
You are doing awesome Maddie!! Love following your journey. You've inspired me to put this on my future bucket list things!! 💚
Love your vlogs Maddie, New Hampshire sure is beautiful. Just curious, where are your Crocs? You dont wear them to walk through the water?
Hello to Smoke too!
THOSE PANCAKES 🥞 🥹🥳🤤🤤
Great to see you guys at the "Ottada Way Cafe " Happy Trails! BACON WRAP and Hannah!😊
I just about had a heart attacked when you heard you say you were going to walk to the Highland Center from the intersection of 302. Most cars have to get a running start to make it out of Crawford Notch.
You are literally 30 minutes from the town in which I grew up. I wasn't lying when I said you were in my back yard. The plan is to bang out Webster Cliff trail on Saturday. I don't know if I will make it to Mt. Pierce but that would be nice.
Ranger you're doing a great job.Have fun and I hope you have a great week.
Thanks for taking care of the little critter on the outside of your tent. Such a beautiful night sky and views along trail. Becareful with your footing. Looks like the rocks are at various angles.
Can you find a different shirt out of the spare clothes at a laundry or hostel?
If you know your mileage and date please share.
Trek on!
The trail looks so difficult in this section. I’m impressed with your determination.
8:30 I think I would have just messed up their grass and skipped all those rocks.
Wise choice being wet and cold is no joke
This looks so hard but the views are beautiful. Great photos.
Another enjoyable day in the week has arrived!
Can’t wait to see mt. Washington again. I wonder if your hike is over? I know we are behind with the videos. The whites looks rough, and you did great.
Be careful up there! Winter comes early in Northern New England.
Beautiful scenery that only you extremely hard workers are privileged to see firsthand! As it should be! Awesome video
Hey Maddie! Great segment...love all the scenic views. It's no wonder New Hampshire is the 'Granite State'!
You're doing great! Almost in the home stretch.
Be careful. Stay safe, and ENJOY!
It’s sooo tough hiking steep ups sketchy downs it’s crazy hard …. But when you get to the top it’s sooooo pretty !!! You guys are doing great !! Keep up the good hike and taking it all in !!! I miss the trail !!
SkidMark
This video kicked it up a notch, your video editing is approaching Adventure Archives!
Terrible trail. Nice scenery. Best wishes. One of those is for you to get to soak in the heat of a wood stove when you really need it. Another is to be willing to leave the heat of the wood stove, if that’s what you know you should do! You’ve conquered so much! Now it occurs to me that, when I fell off the ladder or rather, when I’d set up the ladder stupidly, I was on the ‘phone going up there to show someone something. .you often stumble when trying to do this, yourself so be aware of that.
Awesome views.
Honest remarks!
I think you're doing fabulous 👌 👏
Such a cute couple!
Mitzvah transliterated Hebrew for good deed as in a good action like helping a person. happy to see you with skipping your step and enjoying beer and having good friends around the trail family
Sounds like the Oliver Twist Hut of hiking lol
Please, sir, I want s'more!
Wow, can’t believe the rock climbing that has to be done!
Thanks for the beautiful scenery, including the snakes. Glad you took a zero day and enjoyed some sun. It must really suck to constantly have wet socks, shoes, feet.
Yup - doesn't sound like the huts are for you, Maddie. So far, your experiences with them don't sound too favorable. You would really think they would evolve to cater to thru-hikers a little more which could be a great source of income and goodwill for them. Some basic food and supplies for purchase (freeze-dried food, snacks, peanut butter,etc.), hot beverages, etc. I would even think that if you chose not to stay INside, you might be able to pitch tent outside and pay for a meal and get some hot food.
It sounds like the staff aren't too welcoming.
I also question the "platforms" for the "pay for" camping --- not exactly convenient for thru-hikers who aren't carrying the right gear to "platform camp." It may keep you out of mud, but you don't really seem to be having difficulty finding places to put your tent.
But --- an actual bathroom, a place to get rid of trash, a place to sleep inside in exchange for a little work --- it could be worse. However, when expectation is SO different from reality, that's hard.
I guess the key is: don't expect!!! LOL.
Your $6 deal looked GREAT!!! I'm not an IPA fan (but it's really hard to find anything else here in Oregon!) but I prefer a nice, crisp lager or a porter or stout. A stout is actually like a meal. Anyway, waiting out the rain was a good idea, sleeping in a nice bed, eating good meals ... does wonders for the soul when you've been "deprived."
Keep on keepin' on --- you're doing great. This is your lifestyle right now ... soon you'll wonder how you did it all and really remember the best stuff!
Keep going .
Holy cannoli that hike looked rough. Kiddos to you Maddie! 🗻🍻💜
Spider and snakes oh my! Later yes.
thanks for the warning about the snake. I will skip that part of the video. OK. I forgot she was going to hit Zealand Falls Hut and there are ALWAYS snakes, garder snakes so not dangerous, sunning themselves right outside the hut. I HATE SNAKES!!!
2,770th!😊
Yup, the Webster Cliff Trail is daunting, but you made it and over Mt. Jackson to the Nauman Tent Site at Mizpah Hut. Hope you got a good night's sleep, 'cause the next day is a long one. Also wish you good weather for the views from the Presidential Range. By the way, it's in the Presidential Range, but Mt. Jackson is not named for President Jackson - it's named for Charles Jackson, a New Hampshire State Geologist. Be well, stay safe. 🥾
Brrr city!
Wow! Some tough but gorgeous hikes Maddie!
Take your time and enjoy it I say!
Honestly, I would guess you prob won’t ever hike the AT in its entirety again, so it’s okay to drink it in! (See what I did there…? Beer in Beautiful places and drinking it in? 😂)
Truly though - Thank you for sharing - what a BEAUTIFUL place y’all are in now!
Woohoo
Ice on Mt Wahington today..I winter camped near summit carried skis up in Tuckermans yrs ago
Where is Smokey?
Not quite Lake Unbagog😊 you'll be fine..slippery rocks...very carefully..
The huts have to be reserved if you want to take advantage of all the have to offer... so thru hikers and anyone else who reserves a spot would get dinner and breakfast and a place to sleep... just like you pay to stay at a hostal in order to get services there. Sorry you didnt get breakfast, but was good you got some dinner and if the weather is bad Im sure people are glad to at least be able to stay inside for the night.
Frost tonight, wind hills above 4k below 20°
My friends Dad, Fam own the Woodstock Inn..I left Gorham NH few days ago..I think theirs a bail out spot there, ppl feed you in park lot on Rt 2..Libby House is B & B in Gorham, there is a brewery close by..have fun..IMt Washington can be very dangerous re: weather, I almost died in July, in running shoes, shirts, tee shirt, then ice storm and 40° temp just blew in in minutes..I ran over to auto road as ppl took pics of ma as I begged for a ride..no ride, I lived..I've hiked it 20+ times..it's serious..Mispah is nice
I see your shirt ripped again.
Is that ur camera man
Nope always get the suck over with as fast and as soon as possible so you can get going on something more enjoyable. Just my work ethic choices would take over.
You e met toughest part yet..only in NH😊
use caution ⚠ ⚠
!!
Stop complaining so much. I appreciate your video and gi e you a huge thumbs up so don't take my criticism wrong but, the complaining makes me not want to watch this awesome thing you are accomplishing.
My goal for my videos is to show my real experiences. It might seem like “complaining” if you’re used to the picture-perfect or romanticized version of life often shown on social media, but for me, if I only showed you the good parts of my experience it wouldn’t be honest!
PS- I’m planning to make a video that’s just all walking through nature and no commentary/Vlog/people so that might be more of what you’re looking for. That’ll be out wheni.m done hiking
Drink some more beer that’s what you should do.
Do youself a favor and don't stay in a shelter or a hut! Stealth camp!
You get food and shelter for "work" and you complain abut it?
Thanks for giving me a chance to clarify! I thought I said in the video that I understood it was a “you get what you get “ situation, I just personally wouldn’t do it again. With being a slow hiker, every hour of daylight is precious to me, and what I got in return for waiting around wasn’t what I expected based on what other hikers told me. So I know it was just me getting my hopes up, I was mostly just explaining my experience from my perspective in that moment!
Take care of those feet!!! Get the mud off the boots when you can each day
I'm not letting the state of New Hampshire tell me I can't sleep in God's creation, and not stay in their hut or shelter, He is Bigger!
