A few weeks ago Matt and I finally had a date!!! Instead of going to a bar to get a drink, we would bike 30 miles around the Portland Metro area to get a free beer. Allow me to explain.
The Lucky Lab Brewery hosted the Tour De Lab bike race to raise money for the 24 hour animal hospital in Portland. The choices were to be a "Puppy" or a "Big Dog". We chose the Big Dog because if you do, at the end of the race you get a free pint (and the glass too)! The tour went to all three brew pubs. We started at one in SE where they gave us quite a spread for breakfast, then road to the second at Multnomah village. At this restop we were treated with smoothies, cookies, and of course our dog tails. That's right, we had to dress like a dog to get the beer. Amazing what we'll do for a free pint.
Next stop was in NW Portland where we had pizza, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and dog ears. Finally, our last stop was at the starting point and we got hot dogs, beer, and, to complete our look, dog nose.
It was good beer, good company, a great way to spend a date!
