Do you like to bike? Do you like beer? If so, this side bet is for you. The rules are simple:
1. Ride your bike to a brewery or brewpub. I estimate that there are over 50 breweries or brewpubs that can be reached by bike from DC, over 10 of them are in DC.
2. Acquire a beer brewed at that location.
3. Take a picture of the beer.
4. Taste the beer.
5. Post on this thread the picture of the beer, the location, and a comment about the beer. It can be anything from “tastes mostly like beer” to “the hop aroma contained grapefruit pith and apricot that was matched by a good malt backbone, which added a hint of graham cracker”.
6. Whomever posts entries from the most number of breweries or brewpubs by the end of Freezing Saddles wins!
7. The winner will receive a bottle of beer that reflects the nature of the competition. If only a few participate and the winner had 3 entries, then you will get a good bottle but nothing super special. If the competition is heated and the winner has 30 entries, then I will do my best to get something special.A few further clarifications:
1. BE SAFE! No riding while under the influence. If you rode your bike to the brewery but find that you need to get a ride or take Metro home, the entry still counts.
2. You can go to more than one brewery on a ride, but see above.
3. The beer must be made at that location. Having a 3 Stars at the local bar does not count. Nothing at the Capital City in DC counts because it is all made in Shirlington.
4. Some brewpubs have more than one location. A trip to each location counts.
5. Keep in mind that this competition is to visit the most number of breweries and brewpubs. Once you visit and have a beer at a brewery or brewpub, then you cannot post another entry for that brewery or brewpub, even if you go back later and try a different beer.
6. It is not required, but try to go on at least one brewery tour. Fun, educational and you usually get to sample beer.[ATTACH=CONFIG]15988[/ATTACH]

Not quite as far as Australia but did stop by a brewery while riding around Lake Tahoe. Thought a paramount view deserved the Paramount Porter.

3 stars brewery. Got a flight including starsky & brunch, above the clouds, and raspberry dissonance. The starsky & brunch was tasty and does seem like you are drinking brunch with chocolate, maple syrup, maybe a hint of bacon. Also liked the raspberry dissonance, a sour beer. It wasn’t that sour and was pretty to look at.

Jrenaut #13- Stomping Grounds, Melbourne, Victoria. This is the Hoppenali, another West Coast IPA. This is a really fantastic space, though most of the good tables are reserved

Hellbender. Got a flight with Agosto, Chazzwazzer, Red Line Ale, and Bare Bones Kolsch. Loved how they served it in a metal tray. The beers were all refreshing but pretty similar in color that it was a bit hard to distinguish. I think I liked the Chazzwazzer, an IPA with a bit of pineapple and passionfruit, and the Red Line Ale with a bit of apricot like Magic Hat.

Jrenaut #14 – Mill Brewery, Melbourne, Vic. This is I Can’t Believe it’s not Juice NEIPA. It’s pretty delightful. We left our kids at the last brewery with family so #winning

Jrenaut #15 – Craft and Co, Melbourne, Vic. This is a combination brewery/winery/distillery/hipster meeting spot. Despite being all those things they make a really solid IPA.
Note the Garmin in the last two pictures – it never did finish saving that ride. Stupid Garmin.

Thanks for posting this, but wanted to make sure that you know that this doesn’t qualify for Beerneuring.
