Rally Pub Crawl 2018

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.

They have good sandwiches.
The temps were around 100 today :(
Very friendly staff. When we walked into the patio area with our bicycles the bar tender handed each of us a glass of ice water before we sat down.

Not on the Pub crawl, but another place to check out if you're a craft beer lover is El Bait Shop.

262 Craft beers on tap.
The shuttle from the fairgrounds probably has a stop near here.
It's downtown on Market street a block west of the river, 3 blocks south of Court Ave. and the Saturday Farmers Market.

There has been some heavy rains at the upper end of the Des Moines River Watershed and I see the river downtown is creeping up.
Looks like it's up to the Simon Estes Stage. http://www.simonestesamp.com/

I've been watching a little here and there.
Debbie and I did a little ride today and stopped at Exile again for a sandwich.

Our group on the beer bus wasn't thrilled with Court Avenue. They had a sign out front advertising $3 craft beers for happy hour from 3-6, but charged us over $5 each if we weren't using our 'free' ticket. When we questioned it, the server wouldn't respond and the manager refused to talk to us. Not happy.
