Customer Review: Bikes and good beer; a natural combination
The book was extremely useful to introduce me to the world of high quality beer and hidden trails to ride free of traffic.
Mr. Mercer explains everything very clearly and gives you an honest opinion about good places to ride and to enjoy a beverage, including directions, prices and ambiance.
I have been riding road bikes for many years, but Bike and Brew America has inspired me to try to go back to nature and explore hidden trails.
An extra good feature is all the possible updates available through the website that Mr. Mercer gives you in his book.
A very good book. I highly recommend it.
Customer Review: What a great idea!
Todd has done it! Here is one of those rare gems that just makes you sit up and say “Why didn’t I think of that?”. As an avid rider and beer drinker in the Rockies, I can tell you that Todd’s descriptions, both of the trails and the breweries, are right on! Reading throught the Boulder section had me re-living glorious afternoons of winding singletrack up on Walker (featured in the book) followed by perfect pints of Mountain Sun beer. There’s a group of us from all over the country that gets together three or four times a year to go explore a new place in search of sweet singletrack and hoppy pints. We’ve found our new bible! I can’t wait for the others to come out! I even had a chance to meet Todd at the 2001 Oregon Brewers’ Festival. On top of being a first rate author, he’s a super nice guy. This book is a great companion for anyone who enjoys craft-brewed beer and wants to find the best of the local trails. Ride on!
