AUTOMATIC / BURGEON FLIGHTS
AUTOMATIC ???
We haven't decided which beer to start this one off with ;)
AUTOMATIC CREEPY JACKALOPE EYE PA
Live Wire 25th Anniversary beer
AUTO/BURGEON COLLAB
The crew from Burgeon came down and we brewed one super hazy IPA. Brewed with Organic Malt, Centennial Mash-Hops, Citra in the Kettle and Mosaid for Dry-Hops... Plus, fresh Guava from Tina's yard. Light on the palate, HOPPY AF, but light & refreshing.
BURGEON COMMON
American Light Ale 5.0% / 16 IBU Experience: Light, crisp and extremely approachable. This ale version of a light lager provides a gateway into craft beer. We hope this beer will introduce your palate to others!
BURGEON TOUR DE NELSON
Saison 6% / 23 IBU Experience: This Nelson hopped Saison utilizes the French Saison yeast strain which gives it a farmhouse flavor. With spicy, earthy and fruit forward notes.
BURGEON SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY
Hazy IPA 7.5%/ 44 IBU Expetience: Brewed with Mosaic Lupulin powder, Nelson and Motueka this hazy IPA boasts intense tropical fruit flavors and aromas. Lots of peach, guava and citrus. Nelson is the dominant hop in this beer.

THIS RIDE IS NOT ABOUT SPEED!!
It's about community. (And beer.)
So we will ride together, making sure not to leave brothers and sisters behind. It is a challenge uphill, as well as downhill. A decent bike is necessary. No clunkers. No townies. No cruisers.
THE RULES:
Do not pass the ride leader!!!
Do not over do it at Alpine, we've gotta ride all the way back.
You must be able to ride 60 miles. Seriously!!
We would like everyone to wear a helmet. Seriously!!
You must bring at least one spare tube that fits your bike.
You must read the route before we ride.
You must drink plenty of water (the non-alcoholic type) the day/night before.
You must have at least one water bottle. We strongly suggest bringing 2 full bottles.
You must come with a good attitude.
Ride safe!
We will ride as a group with multiple re-group stops.
Do not pass the ride leader.
Do not pass the ride leader.
Do not pass the f**king ride leader!!!
