Welcome to MTBeer by me, James Murren. I am an award-winning independent writer, with numerous pieces published in outdoor sports and recreation media outlets, as well as adventure and travel magazines. Since the early-to-mid 1990s, I have been mountain biking and enjoying beer, mostly of the “craft” variety.

I wrote for Dirt Rag, Bicycle Times, Bike, Switchback, XXCMag, Bicyclist, Spoke, and still send articles to Cranked and Mountain Flyer, primarily, for mountain biking-specific content. Also, I write a column for Adventure Sports Journal, titled “Earn Your Beer.” Other notable magazines and newspapers I’ve published in include: The Surfer’s Journal, Backpacker, L.A. Times, and San Diego Union-Tribune. Additionally, I’m on the editorial team for Snowshoe Magazine.

This newsletter is 100% me, with the intent being to focus on mountain biking adventures, trails, locations and local breweries/guides/destinations, as well as beer bars, beers-to-buy, camp beers, all coming together to celebrate bikes and beer. I am the writer, the photographer, and the editor. This will be more unfiltered than my writings that are published at-large, so to speak. Essentially, it’ll be me hanging out with you at the brew pub, the camp fire, the trail head, sharing insights on the ride over a beer or three.

That’s it.
