15-Mile: The BWI Trail Loop 📸
The journey begins at the Guinness Open Gate Brewery in Halethorpe, heading south on a perfect mix of less-traveled roads and scenic paths. You'll make your way to the BWI Airport Trail, where you can smile for a picture from our professional course photographers! The route then loops back through the charming, quiet roads of Ehrmansville. Enjoy this ideal combination of road and trail riding before arriving back to the Guinness Open Gate Brewery for a rewarding, refreshing post-ride beer!
30-Mile: The Glen Burnie Trail Ride 🌳
This course shares the scenic start of the 15-Mile route from the Guinness Open Gate Brewery. Instead of turning back early, the 30-Mile ride continues further along the BWI Airport Trail into Glen Burnie. You'll enjoy traveling through less-traveled Glen Burnie neighborhoods before stopping for a mid-way point Rest Stop for fuel! From there, you begin your journey back to the brewery along the historic Baltimore & Annapolis Trail, looping back through the scenic roads of Ehrmansville before arriving for a rewarding cold one on us!
45-Mile: The Severn Park Explorer 🧭
The 45-Mile route encompasses the full experience of both shorter courses, starting at Guinness Open Gate Brewery and utilizing the BWI Trail and Glen Burnie neighborhoods. After hitting the mid-point rest stop, the ride extends further south on the Baltimore & Annapolis Trail for a straight seven-mile stretch, cutting through picturesque Maryland towns. You'll turn around in Severna Park and explore a five-mile segment of less-traveled roads before reconnecting to the trail and hitting the Rest Stop again! Finish the ultimate loop back through Ehrmansville for the most rewarding Guinness you've ever tasted!

Two tasty craft beers waiting for you when you cross the finish line! There's no better prize than that. The charity raffle was a great way to conclude the event!
JEFF

Very smooth overall experience. They clearly do their best to avoid as many stops, left-hand turns, and hazards on the road. A well-thought-out route with plenty of rest stops.
BROOKS

The ride was great to do with my girlfriend and other friends! The after-party is a game-changer that sets it apart from other rides I've done. Keep the party going with some beers & live music!

Great route design with lots of ride support. Route arrows were easy to follow. I was happy to see the Bikes & Beers pint glasses waiting for us as we returned. Ahhh BEER!

MUCH MORE THAN A BIKE RIDE
Out of our shared love for cycling, craft beer, and giving back to the local community, Bikes & Beers was born! We knew from the start this combination was a match made in heaven. Our events bring cyclists of all levels together for a fun, challenging weekend ride followed by an unforgettable post-ride brewery party!
The Bikes & Beers experience is about celebrating the journey and the destination. Every ride features well-marked routes, mechanical support, and scenic views, ensuring you have the best possible time on two wheels. When you cross the finish line, the reward is waiting: a celebratory atmosphere at one of America's best craft breweries, complete with complimentary craft beers, live music, local food trucks, and plenty of camaraderie.
Since our first event in 2013, we've continuously strived for improvement in both the cycling and beer experience. This passion has allowed us to grow exponentially, hosting Bikes & Beers at over 80 breweries in 20 states with more than 135,000 cyclists attending! But our mission extends beyond the ride; we are dedicated to supporting the communities we visit, raising awareness and funds for local cycling advocacy groups.
Our riders mean everything to us. You are the heartbeat of Bikes & Beers, and your support fuels our ability to grow and give back. Thank you for joining us on this incredible journey!
