You know what’s good after an honest day’s work?
Beer.
You know what’s good while you’re working?
Also beer.
Make the latter happen with the Slow Ride Sessions, a workshop series where you learn how to do things (fix a bike, screenprint some art, etc.) while drinking, you guessed it, beer.
Kicks off tomorrow with bike maintenance know-how at Heritage Bicycles.
The beer: the Slow Ride Session IPA from New Belgium Brewing.
Also known for: Fat Tire and the bizarre and always entertaining Tour de Fat.
And the local fixer: Good Beer Hunting, which you’re already familiar with if you, like your correspondent, appreciate good beer.
Says GBH head honcho Michael Kiser: “You’re looking for that deep hop aroma on the nose. Big punch of flavor. Fresh. Vibrant. Lighter in the body. Low ABV. An all-day companion and you’ll still have your wits about you.”
So, the Slow Ride Sessions are all about slowing down and enjoying a session IPA, all while pow-wowing on some practical life skills.
Like building your own six-pack carrier.
Tickets are rolling out fast. See the full list here.
Come ready to work.
Come ready to drink.
Nota bene: This all leads up to a sudsy blowout bash at Kaiser Tiger, where you get to hang with all the makers … over a beer. Details are still in the works. Keep up to date here.
