Pedals and Pints
Denver's most social cycling crew combines casual group rides with craft brewery stops across Colorado. Any bike welcome — this is about beer, friends, and a little pedaling.
The vibe
Bike to breweries, cheers
Pedals and Pints does exactly what it says: rides through Colorado on bikes, stopping at breweries along the way. The group visits production facilities across the Front Range — Longmont, Boulder, Denver, Colorado Springs — building routes around the good stuff worth pedaling to. Distances typically run 10–30+ miles round trip, mostly on flat terrain, which keeps the focus where it belongs: on the tasting.
Any bike is welcome. Cruisers, mountain bikes, road bikes, single speeds — the group isn’t precious about drivetrain. With 7,000+ members on Meetup, rides draw a genuinely mixed crowd unified by two interests. Pace is relaxed and conversational since no one wants to show up at a taproom winded.
Events are posted on Meetup ahead of time with destination and route details. RSVP to get notifications and the specifics. The group occasionally runs longer day trips to destinations like Lyons or Estes Park when the weather lines up.
