On a non-descript block off of Vernon Boulevard there is a green door.  Behind the door is one of New York's best kept beer secrets, Big Alice Brewery. Big Alice is a New York State Farm Brewery, which means that their beers are made from locally grown farm ingredients, locally sourced hops and malts.  Big Alice may be a nano-brewery - but they are known for their big flavored beers and creativity.  How about a Jalpeno Rye Beer?  Maybe a Sweet Potato Farmhouse Ale?  The beers all rotate so you never know what is going to be up on the board.  But you do know that it will be delicious.  Join with your fellow 5BBC beer enthusiasts as we do this one way ride to the Brewery.  Subway transportation is nearby.  Remember, always know your limits - especially on a bike.

Take:  Lights front and back, spare tube, $$ for beer [and food if the truck is there.]

Ride leaves at 7:00 from Grand Army Plaza.
