- Apa Sherpa breaks his own world’s record by summiting Mount Everest for the 20th time at 8:34 a.m. Saturday taking the first craft brewed beer with him. Bohemian Brewery's Viennese Lager and Czech Pilsener were there with Apa on the entire journey to the summit of Mt. Everest. Apa’s goal in climbing this year was to help efforts to increase educational opportunities in the Khumbu Region, which includes the areas around Mount Everest and Bohemian Brewery was there to support Apa in his goal. This is the first time a craft beer has been taken to the summit of Mt. Everest. This is the first time a craft beer in a can has been taken to the summit of Mt. Everest.
In a statement Apa prepared in anticipation of reaching the summit, he said, “I am thankful to have been able to climb Mount Everest for the 20th time. I climbed this year to raise awareness about the Apa Sherpa foundation, which is dedicated to increasing educational opportunities for people in the Himalayan Region. I also climbed to bring attention to the damage done to the Himalayas because of global climate change.”
