June 2018 – Urwaldweg Bödmeren (826)

Situated between Mittenwald and Bödmeren in the Swiss canton of Schwyz, this hike takes us through the primeval Bödmer Urwaldreservat, with its forests that have been largely unaffected by humans and are one of the most pristine forests in the Alps. As we climb up towards Wolfsbüel and Floschen, we get wonderful views back down to the forest in the valley below, before we descent once more and return to the forest. This hike is about 10km in length and you should allow about 3hrs of actual hiking time, in addition to the time spent resting and admiring the views.

OND Smoked Porter

OND Smoked Porter from Bevog Brauhaus-Brewery

OND shows our love for smoked and dark beers. Strength-wise, it belongs to robust porters, which means it has a slightly higher alcohol level and a medium body. The smoked character is incorporated into the entire beer and does not obscure the combination of roasted malts that give it a chocolaty and caramel character.
