Beer Run is a short, low-elevation mountain biking ride in Massachusetts, about half a mile from the town of Beechwood. It's an out-and-back route that gains just under 100 feet over roughly a mile of trail, with the high point reaching about 107 feet and the low point about 75 feet. The steepest part comes in the middle, with a 4% grade at around 0.38 miles in. Late spring through early fall is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Hingham show highs of about 68°F in May and 74°F in September, with July the warmest month at about 83°F. Other mountain biking spots sit close by. Dirty Dozen is about 0.4 miles away, and Chugga Chugga and Gonzo are each within a mile. For climbing, Whitney Thayer Woods is about 1.2 miles off.
