Annual Pedal Pale Ale Reverse Keg Ride
Back in May about 450 GOOD FRIENDS came out to help deliver the first Pedal Pale Ale kegs of the season at the annual PEDAL PALE ALE KEG RIDE, and raised some nice money for charity at the same time. And just like last year, the East End Brewing Company needs to get the last of this year’s empty Pedal Pale Ale kegs back to the brewery.
THE RIDE: After a Hot Breakfast at OTB Bicycle Cafe courtesy of OTB Bicycle Cafe, the ride will head off in a nice tight group. Of course, the big difference is that unlike the KEG RIDE in the Spring, everybody knows where the REVERSE KEG RIDE goes… back to the brewery.
A NEW TWIST: Since this year’s Reverse Keg Ride lands so close to Halloween, this ride is COSTUME PREFERRED. And as a little encouragement, there will be prizes awarded in these three categories:
- Best Beer-themed Costume
- Best Pittsburgh-themed Costume
- Best Overall Costume
The Ride:
Saturday, October 29th. Rain or shine.
OTB Bicycle Cafe, 2518 East Carson St, South Side
Breakfast and Check-in at 9:00am
Depart at 10:00, arrive at 11:00-11:30am
Prizes: Costume judging and beer-filled prizes will be awarded at our destination in each of the three categories.
Cost: $15 for pre-registration (on-line), $20 for Day-of-ride registration.
This charitable contribution gets you a continental breakfast, your morning coffee, a fun day of riding your bike in a big group… and this year’s very first SNOW MELT WINTER ALE fresh from the brewery.
THE CAUSE: This year’s beneficiary is the “Advisory Board on Autism and Related Disorders” (aka ABOARD), a non-profit agency, providing a lifeline of support for families and individuals with autism. They do great work with modest resources, and although we’ve worked with them a bit in the past, this is their first time being our keg ride beneficiary.
HOW TO SIGN UP: If the idea of dressing up in a costume and following kegs being pulled around town by bicycles (ridden by other people in costumes) sounds like the kind of thing that interests you….to ride along, you first need to REGISTER FOR THE RIDE.
