Summer Solstice and Beer

Posted by PeterD Mon, 19 Jun 2006 13:45:00 GMT

This Wednesday is the summer solstice – the longest day of the year. Turns out that it is not the day with the earliest sunrise (that is a few days before the summer solstice, when dawn strikes a minute or two earlier). Nor is it the day with the latest sunset (which is a few days later, and also a few minutes later than what we will see on Wednesday).

But no matter the exact date – this week gives us long daylight hours for riding without lights. So try to get out and celebrate by doing an evening ride.

We have been keeping beer from Devil’s Canyon Brewing on tap for a while now. Those who have tried it will agree that it is good stuff (Ok, after a long ride, most any beer will taste good – but this beer is good all the time).

They have beer tastings on the last Friday of every month (June 30th for this month) which are open to the public. Starts at 5 (and seems to go late), with live bands and such. Click here to get directions to the brewery.

Maybe this would be a good place to stop after a ride at Waterdog…
