New Belgium Bike and Beer Night Tacoma

Here’s the spin: New Belgium Brewing Co., Downtown On the Go and Peaks and Pints have come to a common conclusion. National Bike Month, actually Tacoma Bike Month, is better with craft beer. Peaks and Pints is taking its weekly Lodge Meeting to the peddleheads in preparation for a glorious season of hopping curbs, dodging potholes and getting your pant leg caught in spokes Friday, May 17. If you’re looking to gear up for the cycling season and get involved in Tacoma’s thriving bike community, New Belgium Bike and Beer Night Tacoma might be just the event for you. Tacoma’s bottle shop, taproom and eatery will host New Belgium Brewing Co. and Downtown On the Go for a night of delicious craft beers paired with awareness and participation in cycling as a sustainable form of transportation. New Belgium will raffle off a single-speed bicycle to benefit Downtown On the Go, the transportation advocate for downtown Tacoma. Raffle tickets are $5, or five for $20, which are available at Peaks and Pints up to the event. Other New Belgium Bike and Beer awesomeness includes door prizes, bike movies, food and information on bicycling in Tacoma.
