To do a beer run like this it takes a few unique items.
The first item is a 2014 Norco Bigfoot Fat Bike. If you are about to go on a ridiculous mountain bike beer run carrying an empty 1.89l growler you will likely need a Fat Bike. This need is not necessarily for function but with it you will look damn good along the way. Fat bikes have larger tires than your average bike giving extra traction on snow, ice or when carrying a growler through technical mountain bike terrain.
The second item you will need is a
Growler Cage. Specifically designed to take your growler along on any impromptu bike ride this steel cage is wrapped in neoprene to protect the glass container and is mountable on most styles of bicycle. The bottle-fit is quite snug holding the growler firmly but if you decide to go mountain biking with it be careful; It is not designed for this type of use and could likely cause the glass to break under extreme circumstances. If you are seeking a means of carrying your craft beer from the brewery to your favorite beer-drinking location check out the Growler Cage!
The third item on the must-have list is a brewery that is close to the end of your favorite mountain bike trail. In this case the weapon of choice was
Deep Cove Brewers And Distillers from North Vancouver BC.
With these basic tools, you too can be enjoying the fruits of your labour in the form of a cold craft beer.
Thanks to
Beer Me BC,
Norco Bicycles,
Growler Cage and
Deep Cove Brewers and Distillers for making this video possible.
I'd absolutely recommend a fatbike, they are just on another level in terms of traction and just general fun. The one thing stopping me from buying one is the price, it's allot of money to fork out for even the base Surly model but I'm sure with the increased competition (and demand) will bring the price down.
Now I can do DS Get drunk in Deep Cove and take the bus home.

No I didn't know that's why I said I didn't. Got to be honest it did look good.
