May is the month that beer and bicycles share the stage.\u00a0 It is National Bike Month, a time to celebrate all things bicycling \u2013 and we do it up in a big way in Washington<\/a><\/b>.\u00a0 May is also the month for Seattle Beer Week<\/a><\/b>, a collection of events celebrating local beer culture.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

Erinn and Barb sample some Ale-Liance IPA at Schooner Exact.<\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
This year, the two cultures have come together in a unique and exciting way.\u00a0 Washington Bikes and Schooner Exact Brewing Company<\/a><\/b>have partnered together to present Ale-Liance IPA<\/i>.\u00a0 This specially created beer celebrates bicycle advocacy in a popular Northwest way \u2013 the IPA.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The idea for such a beer was hatched one evening at a party hosted by Bicycle Alliance Executive Director Barbara Culp.\u00a0 Some guests were discussing how there seemed to be a natural affinity between bikes and beer, and wouldn\u2019t it be cool if a local brewery produced a special beer that promoted bicycle advocacy.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI think I can make it happen!\u201d exclaimed Erinn Hale and she promptly volunteered to take it on as a project.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Erinn was the perfect person for the assignment.\u00a0 She combined her knowledge of the local beer culture with her creative marketing skills and interest in bicycling, and called upon the bike friendly folks at Schooner Exact.\u00a0 Ale-Liance IPA<\/i> was born!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Schooner Exact has produced 30 kegs of Ale-Liance IPA<\/i>for Bike Month and launched the first keg at the Bicycle Alliance\u2019s open house on May 3. Kegs of this limited edition beer will be available at select Puget Sound locations during the month of May, and a portion of every keg sold will benefit the Alliance\u2019s work to grow bicycling statewide.\u00a0 Serving locations will be posted on the Bicycle Alliance<\/b><\/a> and Ale-Liance IPA<\/b><\/a> Facebook pages.<\/span><\/div>\n
Tour de Pints<\/a><\/b> \u2013 a pub crawl on bikes \u2013 is also an opportunity to sample Ale-Liance IPA<\/i>.\u00a0 Three pubs on the route will feature the beer: Fiddler’s Inn, Ravenna Alehouse, and Wurst Tavern. The Bicycle Alliance will be on hand at Pike Brewery – the start of the ride – with a $20 membership special that includes an Ale-Liance pint glass and beer!<\/span><\/p>\n
