Biographical Note:
Jessica Sedgwick is an award-winning Chicago journalist who now works as the creative director of a marketing agency. She loves designing and writing almost as much as she loves discovering new breweries--ideally ones with juicy IPAs and mixed-culture beers.

Dan Ochwat is a Chicago-based writer who works in journalism, marketing, and film. This means he's the guy in the corner of the brewery with a laptop. He loves sours and IPAs, clever wordplay, and hiking with his family.

Review Quotes:
"Packed [...] with facts about local art, history and culture -- significantly more than you'd learn from an everyday trail map [...] a compilation of urban and suburban family adventures complete with all the information needed for a successful park-to-brewery experience." - Lisa Futterman, Chicago Tribune


Brief Description:
Beer lovers and hiking enthusiasts, these 30 Chicago hikes are for you! Each carefully selected hike leads you through a stunning natural landscape or striking urban cityscape and ends near a brewery or brewpub where a local craft beer awaits you. This full-color guidebook features the best one- to five-hour hikes in Chicago and its surrounding suburbs and includes day-trip-worthy excursions in Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin. It takes you along the Chicago River and around lively urban parks, out to the banks of the Skokie Lagoons waterways, through the expansive forest preserves and grasslands of the Windy City's southern suburbs. It will also lead you up and down sand dunes on day trips across Indiana and Michigan state lines. A family friendly guide to Chicago's historic heart and suburbs, the book will lead you to unforgettable experiences for all ages at the region's famous breweries. Each trail description includes details on access, difficulty, duration, points of interest, and, at trail's end, a recommended beer, with notes on its appearance, aroma and taste. You'll also get an inside look at the creative and passionate craftspeople behind the brewing process. --
