The Rotary Club of Jacksonville-Oceanside sponsors an annual

“Bikes & Brews” event to raise funds for and awareness of their community-wide

bike rack program. 

Additionally, the event features the outstanding local micro-breweries and beer

purveyors in the Beaches community as well as local history.

The event is combination pub crawl and scavenger hunt with participants

encouraged to ride their bikes to each location.

Due to COVID19 restrictions, the event has been canceled for 2020.   

FAQ's

So, do I have to ride a bike?

No, but I mean, it’s in the name and you won’t have to look for a parking spot!

C’mon, just do it, it’ll be fun! Please cross at intersections and obey traffic laws!

I’m super out of shape, can I still participate?

The total course is about 4 miles. You can go as slow or fast as you want and

you’ll have lots of stops in between and you can take as long as you like, just

make it to the party by 4 for the drawing!

Where do we start?

In prior years, show up at Really Good Beer Stop any time between 1pm and 2pm. 

Grab your mug and scavenger hunt card and get on your way! Spoiler alert, we’ll  

usually end at Green Room, just in case you need to plan ahead!

How do I win this thing?

It’s not a race BUT, if you complete your scavenger hunt card, you’ll be entered to

win fabulous prizes! Believe me, you’ll want a chance to win these fabulous prizes!

The prize drawing will be at 4pm.

Is this a family-friendly event?

Every location allows children at the times that we’ll be there. So, if you think your

toddler will bring a little something special to the party, bring ‘em on!

How much beer are we talking about?

There are 4 beer stops and you’ll get one 5 oz. pour at each. You can buy more

if you’d like but don’t forget to stay on course and definitely don’t forget to tip your

bartenders!

What happens if it rains?

Well, it’ll probably be nice and refreshing on a hot day! This event will be rain or

shine BUT if there are thunderstorms in the area, the event committee will either

postpone or shorten the event and will communicate to attendees via email and

the Facebook Event.

What should I know that I forgot to ask?

Good question, we have no idea. We look forward to

learning right along with you! Please be patient with us and enjoy this FUN event

for a great cause—the Rotary Club of Jacksonville—Oceanside’s Bike Rack program!
