MORBID - Minnesota Off Road Bikers Into Drinking

BEER ALERT!! BEER ALERT!!

2010-04-21T19:46:00.001-05:00

Not enough Surly
"Due to overwhelming demand, we have halted beer shipments to our distributors; South Dakota, Western Wisconsin, Chicagoland, Duluth & the North Shore and Southern MN. We have also sharply curtailed shipments to the NW Twin City Suburbs and Mid-MN. Our 4 new fermentors are on-line and we will have additional beer soon. More fermentation tanks are on the way. It seems that the increased Spring demand for Surly has caught me slightly off guard. The waiting list of 3+ years continues to grow as our increased production has been drank up by increased same-store sales. Talking to some of our liquor store customers, we find that they have increased sales of our beer anywhere from 25%-70% in the last year. Keeping up with the insatiable demand of the Twin Cities for craft beer has been a challenge. We hope that we will soon be able to return to all the markets we have been in. In 2006, our first year of production, we sold 1600 kegs of beer. Last week we had over 2200 kegs of beer in production in the brewery. We can’t grow any faster! See you drinking, Omar"

STOCK UP NOW!!

Are you tired of paying 11.99 for a 4-pack of Surly to impress your hipster biker friends or drinking PBR even though you know it tastes like piss but hey you look cool. I have a deal for you! Schlitz Tall Boys, $5.49 a 6-pack! Tastes great, look cool and it's cheap. Get them while they are hot but drink them cold!

Bloody Pissed

2009-11-23T16:42:00.000-06:00

Awhile back the kind folks at MORBID sent me some t-shirts to hand out as prizes at an alleycat race I put on here in Bozeman, MT. One of the winners was Tom D. Here's a picture of him getting bloody pissed. Thanks to Pete for the schwag!

Gnome Fest VI

2009-09-17T12:39:00.000-05:00

Gnome Fest 6...nope not a festival celebrating the little creepy lawn ornaments. It's a biking and beer get-together at Levis-Trow Mounds near Neillsville, WI. Friday morning Pete and I loaded up his van filled with bikes, camping gear and a large empty cooler. Empty you ask, why yes, we are heading to the cheesy state of WI where they sell gloriously tasting New Glarus beer. A quick stop in Hudson for some Spotted Cow and Totally Naked and we were back on the road heading for Levis-Trow trail head. We rolled into Levis-Trow at 2pm and found a spot to setup camp. You couldn't have asked for better weather with highs in the upper 70's to low 80's with nothing but sun. It was almost too hot.

Check out our neighbors setup, Gomez. I think I could handle a pimp pop-up camper like that.

The trails were outstanding. A little different terrain with lots of tree roots and sand but once you climb to the top of a mound the views go on forever. Unfortunately I forgot my camera at camp so I will have to snap a photo next year.

Another great thing about this years Gnome Fest...BACON EXPLOSION!!! This beautiful example of the other white meat was put together by a fellow Gnome Fest participant. It was grilled to perfection. Very tasty!

What else happens at Gnome Fest? BEER! LOTS OF BEER! This is a picture from Saturday nights beer potluck.

Oh, don't forget the Dwarfcycle Figure Eight Death Race!!!! It's on like Donkey Kong!!

Here are some other pictures from the weekend. You can view them all HERE.

Tour De Fat

2009-07-19T15:46:00.005-05:00

I hope everyone got out to enjoy the Minneapolis Tour De Fat yesterday. Too bad the cold and cloudy weather had to move on in. The parade was a little short but there were some unique costumes and bike decor. The beer was excellent as always. Here is a LINK to some pictures I took. Next up the Salsa 2-4 at the end of August.
