It’s a festival of biking and beer (or soda). Join us as we visit 6 of the premier Minneapolis beer spots on bicycle. Heart of winter? Nah!Non drinkers are welcome and this is a nominally family-friendly event. If you don’t mind your kid spending some time—on a Sunday afternoon—in a place that happens to serve beer. And tater-tots. All are welcome!

The ride starts at the Bulldog NE at noon on Sunday, January 25th, 401 E. Hennepin, Minneapolis

Thanks to the great wonder of this innerweb thingie, instead of going to Stub & Herb’s website to read about their Brewery of the Month Tasting of Lift Bridge and Flat Earth’s beer and instead of going to Lift Bridge’s website to read about the same, you can go to MNBeer and read it second hand!  Yay!  Why do we call it a beer tasting, by the way?  I’m gonna drink the hell out of it.  Anyway, Wed., 1/28, 7-10 PM @ Stub & Herb’s…be there or be square.
