Beer & Brew Group Ride/Tour

[baiskeli]

Hell yeah.

(I did a bike ride to a brewery back when Old Dominion was located just off the W&OD. Wobbled home.)

[Geoff]

I’m in.

I’d be starting near the East Falls Church metro, if anyone wants to start a convoy there.

[KLizotte]

I’m in! Thanks for organizing.

PeteD mentioned this last ride, too. Sounds like fun!

[Phatboing]

In! I’ll start in the EFC region as well.

[dkel]

Rockford and I would be up for this, depending on the date. We’re also part of the Falls Church club.

Maybe invite the person who created the website for us to enjoy? There’s an email address at the bottom.

Also, if it works out, you’re welcome to use my backyard trail-accessible bike beer garden at the Bluemont Junction as a staging point.

Ooh! I have done this a couple of times. It is loads of fun!

I highly suggest starting your brew tour at Adroit Theory as they have some very high octane beers (nothing under 8% ABV).

If you guys do it, I may be in, as long as there is not a MTB or CX race the same day! 😎

I know the guys at Mad Fox and I’m sure we can get a tour. It’s, um, pretty early on the ride though. If we start there, we might not get to the next stop.

Having looked at the bikeablebrews site, I find myself most interested by the breweries, rather than just pubs. Just my opinion, though, so feel free to ignore it.

[Rockford10]

Out to Lost Rhino, back to Caboose (if open?), through Mad Fox, and end at Rock Bottom or Cap City?

[Steve]

might as well tack on some more miles down the Holmes Run Trail and end at Port City .

[baiskeli]

By my count that’s (at least) five beers and about 20 miles.

Sounds about right.

So I would call this “active interest” I’ll work on a base route with let’s say 4 or 5 primary stops. Then we can have sub routes for those electing to take a shorter ride and/or that could have final stops that extend closer to FC and DC for those starting from that area to end at on the ride back.

I’m open to feedback on the following suggested stops:

Caboose Brewing (Vienna) *if open
Lost Rhino Brewing (Ashburn)
Old Ox Brewery (Ashburn)
Crooked Run Brewing (Leesburg)
Adroit Theory Brewing (Purcellville)

Then we can divide up which ones we stop at on the way out vs. the way back. Probably best to have maybe only a single stop on the way out with the rest on the return route as riding 5 or 10 miles a bit tipsy is better than attempting to ride 25 off balance!

I heard jackhammering coming from inside Caboose Brewing as I rode by today, so I don’t know what’s going on in there. I’ve been eager to see what they’re up to, so I hope this one in particular can work out for us.
