Devils Backbone Brewing Company is seeking to hire a “Chief Hiking Officer” that will hike the Appalachian Trail, drink beer and get paid.
The Chief Hiking Officer will receive the necessary gear, be flown to the trail head and host beer events off the trail while hiking the 2,180 miles from Georgia to Maine. And, that person will receive a $20,000 stipend.
According to the Devils Backbone website, the brewing company is “nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, just a few miles from the Appalachian Trail, so we can get our fill of fresh air any time. But folks always tell us how they wish they had the time to trek the AT from Georgia to Maine. So, why couldn’t we sponsor one lucky hiker and help them check ‘conquer the AT’ off their bucket list?”
Devils Backbone Brewing is owned by Anheuser-Busch and is located in Virginia.
Applications are being accepted until July 31. The five- to seven-month hike starts in March 2021. Residents from Washington, D.C., Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia who are at least 21 years old are eligible to apply.
Applicants must submit a 1-minute video explaining why they think they are the best person to be the Chief Hiking Officer and talking about their hiking and wilderness experience.
The Chief Hiking Officer must be willing to create and post content on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter documenting the hike from Spring Mountain, Ga., to Mount Katahdian, Maine.
All of the rules can be found here.
The company also is giving away outdoor gear. To apply to win, tell them about your outdoor goals “using #SlowbyNature and #Sweepstakes for a chance to win some adventure gear. And of course, beer swag too.”
