Join us for a bike ride between three great breweries, Working Draft Beer Co, Giant Jones, and Delta Beer Lab!

• A group of riders will meet at Delta Beer Lab, one at Giant Jones, and another at Working Draft.

• Each group will leave at 1pm and head towards another brewery.

• Shockingly, each place will have beer!

• After a beverage, groups will head out to a different brewery and have a brew.

• After having a beer at the second brewery, groups will head back to homebase. And maybe have one more?

There is no cost to enter and you don’t have to pre-register. And you don't have to be a part of the group ride to participate, you can just ride as you wish!

Come say hi to our newest Artist-in-Residence, Savannah Roy!

Savannah learned to do mosaics from her mother, Nancy, and over the past 20 years of practicing mosaic glass technique (cutting, spacing, color contrast, and mixing textures of glass), she's come to love the unique material. Using sheets of glass - substances that are sharp and painful - she can make pieces that are soft, playful, and loving. Whether you want to use this as a metaphor for life or simply be fascinated by a material, she values showing and celebrating it. She hopes you enjoy her work and thanks you for your support!
