Rally Pub Crawl 2018

The ever popular Rally Pub Crawl is back! Des Moines has some awesome local breweries and we're organizing a bus tour to take in some of the local flavor. Space is limited. If you are interested in a taste of Des Moines. Register early!

Four coach bus tours are available Thursday and Friday at 1pm and 2pm both days. Each coach holds 56 passengers and will stop at four Des Moines breweries - Confluence Brewing Company, Exile Brewing Company, Court Avenue Brewing Company and The Iowa Taproom. We'll spend approximately 30 minutes at each location to give you an opportunity to sample some of their best concoctions and share a moment with friends.

TICKETS for the Rally Pub Crawl are only $20, which includes a seat on an air-conditioned coach, a cool commemorative t-shirt, can koozie and one token for a beverage at any one of the four breweries you visit. Additional purchases are up to you, but since we're doing the driving, buy as many as you like.

REGISTER you and your friends online. It's a great way to spend a casual afternoon at the National and take in the best of Des Moines.
 
Registered. Now I have to find a bus to train Glenlivet to bus rides. Sometimes living in a very rural area has disadvantages...
 
Ok, I registered two of us for this and got a confirmation, but there was no 'payment' page. How does one go about paying?

:dunno

Now if I could just get yourself and that "Moose-a-Pillion" party bunch to join me for the Thursday 2pm gig... I vaguely recall ya'll owe me a brew.

Thanks MOA for putting this together. Shot a text to some of our local club riders, to join in. As I said these seats will go fast. 2 others sent payment also and hopefully more will get the heat to sign up quick as once gone , " No Beer for you" !

Skol!
 
You'll receive an invoice in your email from Ted @ BMWMOA.

Have fun,
Jer

Thanks! I was confused. Got the invoice and paid.

Now, about that 'Moose-a-Pillion' thing. If you mean the Half Moose Whiskapalians, we're on for Friday at 2. We owe you a beer? Hmmm.. :scratch
 
Thanks MOA for this! Life goes sooo much better with beer...and a licence I can use a couple hrs later.

The beer team

Open letter to my co-chairs.

Morning beer team. As there are four of you helping me this year, avail yourselves to the PUB CRAWL if you wish, and take some time off just as you would for any other activity at the rally. So sign up, and enjoy.

When I grow up...

And become a rally volunteer...
I want to work for a guy who runs a beer team and then tells me to take some time off... and go drink some beer!

Downtown Des Moines has a big Farmers Market each Saturday morning 7-12.
They were tearing down as I rode through to Court Avenue Brewing Company.

A garage door opens to a small inside bar.

Past that area is a large dinning area.

I'm going to see if Debbie wants to bicycle ride tomorrow and check out the food at Exile.
Maybe if I don't tell her it's going to be mid 90s again.
