It’s Beer…From Space!

Flying Irish is all about running, having fun, and drinking beer and this Thursday we’ll be celebrating our first month of the season with Ninkasi.  Ninkasi has been our featured brewery for the month of March and they’ve got something special planned this week including the debut of their brand new Beer Run IPA, which the Flying Irish will get to sample before it’s released to the public later this summer.  But that’s not all!  Included in the grand prize giveaway is a bottle of Ninkasi Ground Control; an Imperial Stout brewed with Oregon hazelnuts, star anise, cocoa nibs, and fermented with an Ale yeast that survived a trip to space and back! (Must be 21 or older)

Additionally, this week we’ll have Fleet Feet back in the house featuring On Running Shoes, and we’ll be giving away free entries to the River Run on April 17th!  The sun’s coming out, the weather’s getting warmer, you know where to be.  See you Thursday at Ripples!

Hi friends! I’m a contributing writer for Out There Monthly, and I’m helping them coordinate a new program, the Team OTM Challenge, which encourages people to complete at least one participating race each month from May through October. We’re working with race directors of more than 30 events (and counting) in 2016 to provide a diverse selection of runs, rides, triathlons and other adventure races at discounted prices. You can sign up as an individual or as a 4-person team, and in addition to general fun, you’ll get a tech shirt, cool swag, prize drawings, and free beer (while supplies last) at our kick-off and wrap-up parties. Let me know if you’re interested or have any questions about the program. Cheers! –Janelle McCabe, teamotm@outtheremonthly.com
