Beer of the Bike


Beer Week Brewery Tour

We’ve talked about it for a long time, but we’re finally going to make a citywide brewery tour happen.  And in a startling display of perfect timing, its going to be an official Philly Beer Week event!

We’ll be meeting at Nodding Head at 11am and hitting 5 breweries before the day is done.  We’ll have plenty of time at each place to taste some beers, maybe even meet the brewers.

In case you want to meet up en route, here is the schedule:

11am – Nodding Head
12:30 p.m. – Dock Street
2 p.m. – Yards
3:30 p.m. – PBC
5 p.m. – Triumph

And here is the route:  http://www.mapmyride.com/route/us/pa/philadelphia/100471909209

The ride will be an easy one, although we will be in traffic.  So please bring your helmets, and we’ll be following traffic signals as much as possible.  This isn’t an alleycat race!

Hooray! I will be able to make this! I am heading to Europe for a week before this and I am planning on bringing back some big bottles from some breweries in Belgium (party to follow)

Looks like no registration or sign up required, right? My wife and I plan on attending on our tandem and she’ll be the designated pedaler.

I’m looking forward to it and have 3 friends joining me as well. How many riders are you expecting?

Comment by Joe

How many people usually attend the bike ride?

Comment by Jeri

We have over 50 signed up for this ride already, so it is going to be quite a crew!

What is the sign-up for?

Comment by RollinRox

I’m trying to keep track of how many people are riding so that I can let the breweries know.

Hey all,
I am very interested in this. I am not a big biker. Use to mountain bike but retired to leisure rides. First is this for anyone with a bike or is this like a biking club thing? Second, I have a little one that I usually take everywhere. I have a tow behind, would this event be kid friendly at all?

Where’s the sign-up?
