Beer Hiking Pacific Northwest is Out of Print

That's all, folks! Released in May 2018, our book, Beer Hiking Pacific Northwest has sold through 4 print runs over the last year and a half. As first-time authors, we're so grateful for the huge show of support from our readers. Thank you for buying up our book so fast that we can't keep it in stock!

So, why is the book out of print? Normally with a hot-selling title, it's in everyone's best interest (publisher, distributor, authors, readers) to keep the book on the shelf. In this case, our publisher and distributor are no longer working together. Without a distributor, the book can't get into stores. If our publisher orders a 5th printing, there's no warehouse for the books to live in and ship from. 

Most US-based guidebook publishers would never encounter an issue like this because they have well-established distribution channels. Unfortunately, our international publisher is still trying to find the best partner to distribute their books and games in America. It's frustrating, but there's not much we can do besides wait this process out. ​

A New Opportunity

This is one of those "when life  gives you lemons" moments for us. While it's disappointing that our book is out of stock during the busiest shopping season of the year, we're focusing on what we can do. Our publisher is currently in negotiations with a new US-based distributor, and we're planning to release an updated and expanded 2nd edition of Beer Hiking Pacific Northwest with them in 2020. 

Researched and written during the fall/winter of 2016, Beer Hiking Pacific Northwest's content is already three years old. A 2nd edition gives us the opportunity to provide much-needed updates to the book and add a few destinations that we missed last time around. ​Stay tuned for updates!
