Peninsula Century Weekend Celebration at Door County Brewing Company

Share Post

In celebration of the Peninsula Century Race, Door County Brewing Company will be hosting a Peninsula Century Weekend Ride Party, September 11-14 at Door County Brewing Company.

“We are excited to sponsor the Peninsula Century ride because it fits with our mission of preserving the beauty of our surroundings,” said Door County Brewing Company Founder John McMahon. “Silent sports, like the ride, allow everyone to enjoy our natural surroundings without disturbing them and it’s also great to have the energy that the riders bring to Door County.

Door County Brewing Company is very excited to announce we’re starting the party right with a 25-mile, no-drop social ride of beautiful Baileys Harbor this Thursday, September 11 at 5pm. Finish this Thursday’s ride at the Door County Brewing Company Tap Room and enjoy beer specials, snacks, and Chef Mitch’s delicious Gypsy Tacos.

Serving up classics like our Polka King Porter and Little Sister Witbier, our head brewer Danny McMahon has brewed something special for our Peninsula Century Ride Weekend Party.  Newest to our taps for this weekend is the Saison Nelson. “A Belgian Saison fermented with a blend of saison yeast and Brettanomyces,” said Danny McMahon. “It’s then brewed exclusively with New Zealand Nelson Sauvin hops making it a very dry yet juicy saison. 6.0% ABV.”

More than just our love to support our local community, Door County Brewing Company believes in the beautiful partnership between craft beer and biking. An avid cyclist himself, “The marriage between riding and craft beer comes from the connection that people who ride have with their surroundings by being close to it, that’s the same with their appreciation of craft beer,” said John McMahon. “They want to be around the craftsman who make their beer and they want to have a connections with where it comes from. They are both pure forms.”

In addition to our warm-up race Thursday, and our 2-for-1 beer deal for all Peninsula Century participants, The Door County Brewing Concert Series is bringing you some of the best free live music yet, this weekend at our Tap Room! Featuring Saint Anyway, live Friday from 7-9pm, and music legend Charlie Parr, Saturday from 7-9pm.

Door County Brewing Company is Located at 2343 County Road F. in Baileys Harbor
