Summary

Bicycling and craft brewit doesn't get more Portland, and for the first time, a guide marries these two worlds by linking the best beer spots with routes that explore the city's first-class cycling boulevards, bike-friendly streets, and quirky bike charm. This carefully curated expose separates the status-quo, tourist ale trail from the hottest, off-the-beaten-track beer spots that make Portland world renowned. A total of 10 bike routes are included, featuring detailed maps and accompanying cue sheets for cyclists of any level, with options to extend each of the five brew tours into longer rides. Locals and visitors alike, from serious beer geeks to cycling aficionados, will want to slip this book into their jersey pockets and panniers as they uncover the city's booming beer scene.
