Ale Trails - Vancouver’s North Shore: an early adopter of mountain biking and craft beer

Ale Trails - Season 3: Episode 1 - Vancouver’s North Shore ’Ale Trails’ is a doc-style mini-series looking at the intersection between mountain biking and local craft breweries, and how both work to support and enhance their community. In episode 1 we visit the birthplace of modern mountain biking - the iconic North Shore where legendary old school trails studded with ladder bridges and meticulous rock-work meld with a modern revitalization of flow and jumps. As with mountain biking, the North Shore was also an early adopter of craft beer hosting some of the province’s first craft breweries. Today, the vibrant (and conveniently walkable) ‘brewery district’ boasts 11 distinctly unique breweries pouring everything from low alcohol lagers to triple hazy IPAs. Whether you’re here for the beer or the biking (or both) you’ll be spoiled for choice. ’Ale Trails’ is a collaboration between Mountain Biking BC, BC Ale Trail, and Vancouver’s North Shore Tourism Association and produced by adventure filmmakers, Ben Haggar and Mike Gamble / Cold Salt Collective Ale Trail: Vancouver’s North Shore: DIRECTED BY Ben Haggar // Mike Gamble EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS Jennifer Belak - Vancouver’s North Shore Martin Littlejohn - Mountain Biking BC Monica Frost - BC Ale Trail Ken Beattie - BC Craft Brewers Guild PRODUCED BY Ben Haggar // Mike Gamble STORY / CONCEPT Ben Haggar CINEMATOGRAPHY Mike Gamble // Ben Haggar POST PRODUCTION Mike Gamble AUDIO POST PRODUCTION Mike Gamble COLOUR Mike Gamble LOGO ANIMATION Tom Wood RIDERS IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE Alec Suriyuth Steve Storey Kelli Sherbinin Darren Butler SPECIAL THANKS Kelli Sherbinin - Endless Biking Andreas Hestler Dave Smith Melanie Savard - Vancouver’s North Shore Rob Donovan - NSMBA Florian Fisch Shannon Church The van Laerhaven Family Shawn Campbell BRIDGE BREWING Leigh Stratton Michael Conrad Cara Harding BLACK KETTLE BREWING Sarah Polkinghorne Paul Mulgrew NORTH POINT BREWING Matthew Legate SHAKETOWN BREWING Ryan Scholz Tarun Reddy WILDEYE BREWING Samantha Lindeman Rosalie Caron ARCHIVAL FOOTAGE PROVIDED BY MIKE GAMBLE PRESENTED BY Vancouver’s North Shore BC Ale Trail Mountain Bike BC _ ALWAYS DRINK RESPONSIBLY Members of the BC Ale Trail are committed to ensuring their beers are promoted and enjoyed responsibly, by those adults who choose to consume them, for the continued prosperity of the craft beer industry in British Columbia.
