Gear & Beer: Outdoor Equipment & Beverage Reviews

By: Colin True - outdoor industry journalist
  • Summary

  • In "Gear & Beer" outdoor industry veterans from "The Rock Fight" discuss the outdoor pairings that matter most! Be sure to follow this new podcast from the Rock Fight Podcast Network. Every outdoorsy person knows that the gear you wear is incomplete without the perfect beer to drink and hold while you're in it. Each episode, it's our job to make sure that you're equipped with the best pairings available to you in any given week. So far we've paired everything from MTB Baggie Shorts and Rationale Mexican Lager through to the REI Half Dome 2 tent with a nice brew of 10 Barrel's Juicy Drama! And we've still got so many to get through! But why listen to us? Hi! I'm Colin True, and over the course of 20 years I've worked for multiple outdoor brands with a focus on products like footwear, sports nutrition and performance textiles. My buddy Justin Housman is a senior editor at Adventure Journal and a professional gear reviewer, journalist and perhaps most importantly a certified beer expert (aka a Cicerone). Together we form an outdoorsy super team of insider product and beer knowledge who talk about outdoor products and beer the same way you and your friends do. Do you go outside? Do you like beer? Then this is the show for you. GEAR & BEER! Learn more at https://www.rockfight.co/

  • Multi-Tools (all of them) + Smuttynose Pineapple Orange Coconut Sour
    Jun 28 2024

    When it comes to multi-tools Justin & Colin have so many questions.

    Who made the original multi-tool? If you want to be outdoorsy do you need to own a multi-tool? What is the best job for a multi-too?

    Today we dig into the entire multi-tool category. And because all multi-tools have a lot going on, we needed a beer that also has a lot going. So the boys crack open a couple of absolutely delightful Smuttynose Pineapple Orange Coconut Sours.

    Because that's what you get here on Gear & Beer... The Pairings That Matter Most!

  • Coleman Dual Fuel Lantern + Sierra Nevada Pale
    Jun 21 2024

    Chances are that if you do any camping whatsoever you have a lantern. But do you have an OG fuel burning Coleman Lantern? Justin does and today he is going to break down why you should too.

    And what is the perfect pairing for the classic lantern? How about a classic craft beer like a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Because nothing is better than sitting outside on a pleasant evening enjoying the warm light of a timeless lantern while sipping an ice cold Sierra Nevada.

    Summer is here and so is the perfect pairing of gear and beer!

  • Topo Athletic Pursuit 2 + Two Summer Wheat Ales
    Jun 14 2024

    Today's pairing that matters most? Topo Athletic's Pursuit 2 and two, count 'em, two wheat ales.

    Which two? Well that would be Sam Adams Summer Ale and Golden Road's Mango Cart!

    After Colin's experience testing the Obōz Katabatic Wind Low he felt compelled to bring some trail runners back to the fore because it has come time for him to find a replacement for his beloved Altra Lone Peaks.

    Then Gear & Beer's official Cicerone (aka Justin) told Colin to go find a summer wheat ale so we could feature not one but TWO beers on today's episode. Colin brought home the Sam Adams seasonal classic Summer Ale and Justin tried Golden Road's Mango Cart.

    Because that's what you get here on Gear & Beer... the pairings that matter most!
