Dogfish Head launches Paddle, Pints & Pedal event
• Oct 25th, 2009 • Category: Uncategorized
Fresh on the heels of the Dogfish Dash, Dogfish Head barely took a breather before launching Paddle, Pints and Pedal.
The occasion was the opening of the new Dogfish Head Canoe and Kayak Launch, as well as a benefit for Friends of Cape Henlopen State Park.
“The idea was one of our devious schemes to get folks out and about in our little corner of the world!” the brewery proclaimed.
As the title of the event foreshadowed, participants kayaked the Rehoboth canal, ate lunch and drank beers at Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats, and then pedaled on cruisers via the Breakwater-Junction bike trail.
For each participant the brewery donated $10 to the Friends of the Cape Henlopen State Park, as part of their Beer & Benevolence mission.
It must have gone well, because before even finishing their post-beer ride, they were already promising another go of it next year.
