June 19th – The Key of Fermentation

Posted on by Ross

Stay with me here: “For centuries and centuries (and in a galaxy far far a way), brewers have searched for the secrets of the perfect beer. “If only,” they thought, “we could find the Key of Fermentation, our quest to unlock perfection will be obtained….”

Fast-forward to the Willamette Valley in 2014: this June, we will unearth the Key of Fermentation, and funny-enough, its in a shape we can bike-trace! Imagine that. Let’s meet at NE corner of Monroe Park on Thursday, June 19th, at 7:00pm, and unlock The Key of Fermentation, along the Fern Ridge Trail and concluding at Claim 52 Brewing. Thanks to Claim 52 for hosting us and staying up a little later!

Posted on by Ross

Let’s Shape, Rattle and Roll. Or, more specifically, let’s shape in a rattle and roll this Thursday, March 27th. BikeInShapes will employ some abstract cubism referencing a baby’s rattle and a cinnamon roll, starting at 7pm from the Growler Guys (on 7th and Washington) and finishing at the Bier Stein.  Shape your Polaroid picture!
