Flying Lion Brewing beer bike (via Eater on Faccebook).PNGVideo: Help brew a beer - by taking a bike ride!
Cycling's a good way of working up a thirst, and we enjoy a post-ride beer or two here at road.cc towers, so this caught our eye - a microbrewery in the United States has rigged up a bike to help with the brewing process.
It's at Flying Lion Brewing in Seattle, Washington, and its purpose is to fine-grind the grains that help make the beer.
While you won't get the finished pint for your efforts, handily there is a cup-holder on the handlebars to enable you to have a beer as you pedal.
Cheers!

Or lezyne tubeless pro plugs. I've got a set, but had no chance to try them out. I want to use those mushrooms.

Can't speak for Seattle police but the cycle-haters where I live would ticket that kid for drinking on a bike.
Hipster rating: moderate to high
Hmm, the bloke needs a beard to gain extra points.
