Thought I’d share the link to one of my most popular posts ever (currently ranked 5th out of 674). It’s a little report with photos of when Sara Stout and I each moved a full keg of beer (180lbs!) from Widmer Brewing in North Portland to the Clinton Street Theater in Southeast.
As a side note, I made a postcard out of one of the images and recently sent it to Rob Widmer. Turns out he’s a devoted bike commuter and he replied by saying, “if you ever want to talk bikes and beer, just let me know.” Cool.
Here’s the post, “360 lbs of beer…by bike!”
Thanks for reading.

I wonder: If you tap the keg before unhitching the trailer, would that be a violation of Oregon’s “open container” law?
Potatoes by bike
I think you’re exceeding the recommended weight limit for the Burley!
Nothing wrong with exceeding the weight here and there. I’ve been known to exceed a Burley’s weight by 40 lbs (a 100 pounder hauling 140 lbs of newsletters) for 4 miles with no problem. Yeah, I wouldn’t recommend it on a regular basis.
Do we assume that “Stout” has switched to Ale? Cool photo!
