Beer stop during the run to get hashers refreshed on the trail…
Trails may contain a “beer check/stop”, where the pack stops to consume beer, water, or snacks, allowing any stragglers to catch up to the group.
Following the Trail for the love of beer.
Trails may pass through any sort of terrain and hashers may run through back alleyways, residential areas, city streets, forests, swamps, deep mud (“shiggy”), or shopping malls and may climb fences, ford streams, explore storm drains, or scale cliffs in their pursuit of the hare for the love of beer.
The Beer Circle
Most hash events end with a group gathering known as “circle,” or less commonly as “religion.” Led by chapter leadership, the circle provides a time to socialize, sing drinking songs, recognize individuals, formally name members, or inform the group of pertinent news or upcoming events. Circles may be led by the chapter grandmaster (GM), the group’s religious advisor (RA), or by a committee. Impromptu input is welcome and solicited.
