Does your own home brew at home after a ride count? I took a 15 mile detour between the couch and the fridge.

The executive committee, with input from the video review official, has determined that counting your own homebrew would be contrary to the spirit and point of the side bet, so it does not count. Plus, there would be the issue of whether the review would be objective. :rolleyes:

was just…just…too much beer. Waaaay too much beer.

Wait…too much beer? Is that an actual possibility?

That much beer gets kinda expensive, for starters, but I think last year’s Atlas/Bardo/DC Brau trifecta was a bit much for me just on principle. Surprisingly, much as I like beer, I really don’t drink that much of it (well, outside of bike shops).

There were a couple of trips where Rockford and I left more behind in our glasses than we actually drank. It was worth it for the competition, but—on principle—pretty disappointing. This is why I will play this year (when I get around to it), but definitely not compete. Besides not only is it someone else’s turn to win, but it’s pretty clear jwetzel has an eye on the prize already.

Couldn’t sleep so I put the time to good use and put together a map of breweries/brewpubs that seem to be within a day trip. Many of them were already listed for me on http://www.bikeablebrews.com/ There are a lot of them, and I’m pretty sure I missed some. Happy drinking!

Awesome job on that! By the way, New District Brewing Co. just posted that they are officially opening this Saturday, Jan. 9 at noon. Details will follow on their FB page.

Oooh! Maybe we should organize a ride there.

You left off пивна дума (Pivna Duma) which is less than a kilometer from my house, so round trip distance counts, but would be a “sleaze” ride. Has great pig’s knuckle to share and four beers supposedly brewed on location. Of course the day trip would include a flight to Kyiv.

Works for me since I think I’ll end up skipping the Scud ride.

Yup, just looking at that map (tiny, yes, but…), I can tell it needs Laurel’s Jailbreak and south Baltimore’s Heavy Seas Brewery—no, not the alehouse (which miiight be one of those pins in Bawlmer), but the actual brewery, which is spitting distance from the main bike route between here and the Inner Harbor.

This is how I know I will not win this competition

[jwetzel]

Bigger! With a few additions.

Yup. Some of us bike to Annapolis for a cup of coffee. Others to Mobtown for a beer. Never underestimate the power of quixotic obsessions.

(And, truth be told, the ride up to Baltimore’s pretty cool and worth doing if you know the route; just make sure you do it when the breweries are open)

I noticed as I started looking at these that some are only open for 4 hours on a Saturday or something like that. Would suck to roll up and be stymied by a locked door.

Not to give anyone ideas, but you don’t need to ride FROM YOUR HOME or BACK TO YOUR HOME from these beer trips. Conceivably you could drive to [someplace far away] and then bike around to a few breweries, reconnect with your car and drive home. Alternatively, you could bike to Mad Fox, Caboose, Old Ox and Lost Rhino and stumble home via Metro.
