COME ON OUT FOR A RIDE...AND A BEER ON ME!
With some helps from the folks at Bike-Pgh, each year I deliver the very first keg of PEDAL PALE ALE to it's mystery tap spot by bicycle... and I can always use a little more moral support. That's where you come in.
Show up at the brewery on FRIDAY, MAY 23rd at 6:30pm, get yourself signed in and collect your token... this will be very important before the day is done.
We'll head out at 7pm on a meandering, low-speed tour of the greater East End, ultimately winding up at our undisclosed tap spot (where it will of course be disclosed), get the keg(s) into position, and pour everyone a pint - on me!
The first year, we had about 45 people come out and went through a sixtel. Last year (see below) 120 people came out for a ride to the Harris Grill on Elsworth, and we blew through a half barrel! 
This year? I'm hoping to see every single GOOD BEER News email
subscriber out there on their bike, ready to spend an evening tooling
around the East End, following the bouncing keg all the way to it's
final resting place... your glass!
So, how much will you make me pull this year? That's up to you and all of your GOOD FRIENDS, who you'd like to bring along and have me buy them a GOOD BEER.
Hope to see you then, rain or shine! And don't tell me you don't have a bike!
Cheers, Scott
