This contest is how I got my wife to sign up for BAFS. Hoping to get a brewery in this weekend if we don’t all die of the cold

JMU is playing in the FCS national championship* on Saturday and Port City is doing a showing of the game. There is also a ride starting at 9:00, but I think it is going to be too cold for me to do the ride. But I will definitely ride there for the game and back if anyone else wants to join in.

*It should be noted that I am not really a fan of sportsball, but as an alum (who was in the marching band), I feel obligated to go drink beer and cheer.

Just so sad, lots of good beer here, but few options to enjoy it in places that qualify for this pointless prize.

This Saturday is supposed to be even colder than the Saturday a few years ago when I organized a ride to Port City and dragged the kids along. That ride is the only time I have thought that, in hindsight, we should not have done. The kids were COLD. I brought a blanket for them to wrap up in but it didn’t really work.

We might do something a little more local this weekend and save Port City for either warmer weather or when we can ditch the kids.

I don’t like the sportsball either, but I like beer. What time are you going?

Yep, I used beer advocate during FS2017 for the Deutsche Bier PP.

I’ve been going into the Frankfurt listings and it’s hard to find info on actual brewery tours/tastings. Also several which have Biergartens do not brew on site. Fun to keep looking.

Looks like about 14 possibles withing 100 km of our apartment without having to get on a brewery tour.

I don’t much follow the sportsball, but I do like to see JMU, my son’s alma mater, win.* The JMU sportsiness site says the game is at noon.

*He wasn’t cool enough to be a band geek.

Had the Duchess Porter at Caboose. Easy to drink, mild sweet and malty notes.

#1: Atlas

This was a Damn Good IPA, a collaboration with someone I’ve forgotten. Atlas is my favorite DC brewery for beer – there are other breweries I like visiting better, but Atlas has the best beer. The Damn Good was not bad. Wife and I discussed signing the kids up for BAFS next year – Gremlin 2 rode from our house to Atlas then back to Brookland Pint for dinner (though I have to go get her bike from there tomorrow morning, she didn’t quite make the full round trip).

Rules question: do rides to breweries outside of the area count? I have a trip across the other pond next month, and it looks like Tokyo now has a bike share AND a new Hitachino Nest brewery…

I’m not in charge of the rules, but I’m pretty sure it’s all good as long as you bike there. I hope it counts too as we’re going to be in the same situation in February.

If they don’t I’m SOL.

Yes, a beerneuring ride can be outside of the DMV area. You just have to meet the one mile minimum to count as a Freezing Saddles ride.

I would never want to deny you the fun of beerneuring.
