RadioShack and Leopard Trek Join Forces

So what do you get when you toss an American electronics retailer, a Japanese auto manufacturer and a mid-western bicycle maker into a blender together and hit the high-speed button, (besides the somewhat longish new name; RadioShack-Nissan-Trek)?

Chain Reaction Fresh Hops Festival


Come out and support Adventure Cycling at Draught Works Brewery's inaugural celebration of craft beer and sustainable transportation on Saturday, September 8, from 2 to 8 p.m. in Missoula, Montana.

At this fun-filled event, which includes bike helmet giveaways, bike tune-ups, a fleet of wacky bikes, bike safety information, raffles, and live music, Draught Works will craft a fresh-hopped beer with the help of Missoula bicycle enthusiasts!

The hops will be harvested that day by volunteers in Corvallis, MT, and transported to Draught Works by teams of cyclists in a relay-style race. At the brewery, eager cyclists will power a custom-made, bike-operated grain mill to process the grain. Once the grain milling concludes, Draught Works will add the hops and brew a bike-themed ale. Proceeds from the 15-barrel, 30-keg batch will be donated to participating nonprofit organizations including Adventure Cycling Association.

What: Draught Works Brewery's celebration of craft beer and sustainable transportation
When: Saturday, September 8, 2 - 8 p.m.
Where: Draught Works Brewery, 915 Toole Avenue, Missoula, MT, 406-541-1592

 We hope to see you there!
