First and foremost; Double dubs fo life.
Ok so every year here in Oregon the Oregon Brewers Guild holds an annual event
zwickelmania. Its a day of FREE brewery tours and SAMPLING. UB has gone to every single Zwickelmania, so this year was no different. The ride always meets up super early because if you're gonna start drinking at 11Am you need to eat a good breakfast. My black tomos wasnt quite ready to go so I was gonna be Riding the Mb5. it was a long late night before hand and an awesome day of. Here is how it went.
As you can see this picture was taken by me from the passenger seat of the chase truck.... My MB5 got a flat two days before had so I went and bought a new tube. I put it on on friday and it was a giant pain in the ass to get my crappy ass tire pump to fill it up. I figured I shouldnt ride the tomos since it Isnt tuned at all right now. So I popped the cdi off that and we put it on eric tomos so he could actualy have spark. it took all of about 10 mins so i didnt get any pictures but use youre imagination. So then on Zwickelmania day the mb5s tire felt a little low so jah brought his pump over and I pumped it up and it seemed to be holding pressure. then we get to hungry tiger and once im off the bike it loses all its air again. Turns out the valve stem was fucked so chase truck it was for me
We mett up and started riding. Widmer's is usualy the best so we started there. this is the biggest of the breweries in town. each of those tanks is 1500 barrels of beer, or 3,000 kegs.
Caleb form the Cutters made it out this year making him the first Cutter to make the event ever!

I really want that copper tank I could make a lot of homebrew with it.
Caleb let me ride Merica from deschuttes and the crystal ballroom to Rock bottom brewing.
Once again a bad picture of it but this thing is rad. Tomos a35 with a ninja g3 on it upside down a pull start lever and 24 mm oko carb. that thing was super blasty.
Headed to full sail brewing.
the full sail brewery here in portland is so small that only two people work there most days.
Cascade barrel house.
a zwickel is the nozzle on a conical fermenter. this is why its called zwickelmania becasue you get samples straight out of the zwickel and its amazing.
Hop works Urban brewery. them make organic beer that is delicious.
Those lines pump the beer out of giant tanks in a cooler and straight to the taps at the bar upstairs.
best Zwickelmania ever. I cant wait until next year.
