3000+ Miles with a brewery on wheels

[Blane]

Thanks Blane and others ,

What made it difficult was the filming and the weather, it did rain almost 1/2 of the days we were on the road, and stopping constantly to setup shot sequences, and then having to repeat them over and over again. Once we reached the arctic area, it was cold 40degrees, very wet , and high winds, very different than your usual ride, plus helping setup camp , cooking , packing up each day, it was more exhausting than I had imagined.

Yes, I ride a 01, 1150 GS and my partner John rides a 77,R60/7

Bikes and beer go together well , we have some fantastic video and stills of the trip.

Yep. That'll ruin a ride in a hurry. Your partner probably had a worse time. My /5 hates the rain if his airhead is anything like mine. Looking forward to seeing more film and pics of the "Brew and Ride". Thanks for sharing with us.

Most definitely, you can purchase one thru our website www.arcticalchemy.com then go to the donate page, shirts are $25 which includes a 10 donation to our budget for the completion of the film and costs. You can do this by Paypal or traditional check and mail address. Please indicate what size you require.

Hey thanks for the bump !, I have been working on raising additional monies to get the final phases of production completed. As of today, the film is in the hands of my two Russian filmmakers in Moscow, however after raising and funding personally so much of it myself, I need to look outside to finish the final production and distributions. I tried a Kickstarter campaign this summer, but was unsuccessful in meeting the goal, times and the economy are tight, heck even Sam Calagione did not get renewed on his efforts, it's tough. We have some other ideas for raising money, hang with us and we will get this out to the beer world soon !
Thanks for checking in !

Thinking of you while enjoying a few pints of Best Bitter at the Ship Inn last night. Small world that this bumps up here today. Got the feeling when we met that your playing field was a bit larger than the rest of us. Interesting stuff you're up to. Enjoying following it. Best of luck.



Yeah. Wife's out and I'm hitting the keg.
