Beer Ride โ€“ Northside Creek Trails

Beer Ride โ€“ Northside Creek Trails

Journey to our waterside neighbours along the Merri and Yarra with the crew from the Bridge Road Brewers Ride Club.

Starting at BRB's Brunswick East brewery, we'll pedal along quiet streets and creek-side bike paths to Carwyn Cellars (USA), the Park Hotel (Brisbane) and the Royston Hotel (Regional WA), stopping at each venue for a beer before returning to Bridge Road Brewers for a pot of PoO beer for all riders.

This is an inclusive, guided event, not a race, but attendees are encouraged to be familiar with the route and be self-sufficient during the travel between venues.

Tickets cost $10 per person, and must be purchased in advance.
