Beer and bikes
On Saturday, a group of several hundred bicyclists will leave East End Brewing in Larimer, towing several kegs of beer for the Pedal Pale Ale Keg Ride on a several mile course through the city.
The destination is kept a secret until the riders arrive.
Once they reach the final destination, the participants will be treated to a fresh pint of Pedal Pale Ale. Money raised is donated to Auberle Foster Care, a charity Smith said does amazing things for children in bad family situations.

Small breweries… small bridges… Who knows where the #KegRide will take you?
Also: Do you self-identify as a micro-bridge or a “craft bridge”? Or the more modern Independent Bridge? #afaf https://t.co/zIVqXVv1Ah— East End Brewing (@EastEndBrewing) April 24, 2019
