      Come have some beer-centric brunch at SunUp Brewery before we ride out in style on our bikes to the Strong Beer Festival! Conveniently located less than 3 miles from the beer festival, we will be serving up our tasty suds and brunch, then we will ride to the festival with Tempe Bicycle Action Group, and Phoenix Critical Mass, who will provide safety marshals and lead the way to more beer! We will be opening early at 10 a.m. for our beer brunch buffet, which is only $15! The brunch will include coffee and tea, Heffeweizen pancakes with lemon beer butter, breakfast potatoes, Amber poached breakfast sausage (regular and vegan sausage), assorted quiches, steel cut oatmeal cooked in soy milk served with bananas and brown sugar, and assorted pastries.

      Don't want to ride your bike....that is ok because we are less than 3 blocks from the Central Ave. light rail station. Come have brunch and ride to the beer festival on the train with us.
      Best of all it will be happy hour all day to kick start Arizona Beer Week right.

      We are proud to say we are the only brewery in Arizona to offer IPA on cask all week long!

    • Starts: 7:00 pm
      Ends: 9:00 pm
      Location: Madcap Theater
      Description: Bicycle Dreams, the award-winning feature-length documentary about the Race Across America (RAAM), will premiere in Tempe at the Madcap Theaters in Tempe on Wednesday, February 22 at 7 p.m. as part of the film’s ongoing nationwide winter tour. The screening is presented as a benefit for the Tempe Bicycle Action Group.

      The event is co-sponsored by State Bicycle Co a local fixed-gear bicycle company. State Bicycle hosts a weekly LOOPS ride every Wednesday, and on the night of the show the group will meet at Madcap, check out the movie, and then head out on the ride after the movie. Keep an eye on the State Bicycle Facebook page for more ride details: http://www.facebook.com/statebicycle

      Tickets will be $11 in advance and $15 at the door the night of the show. To purchase advance tickets, order online at http://www.imathlete.com/events/bicycledreams. Madcap Theaters is located at 730 South Mill St. in Tempe.

      The film, which has won numerous awards at film festivals all over the world, “is an up-close look at what RAAM riders go through,” says Stephen Auerbach, the director and producer of Bicycle Dreams. “They deal with searing desert heat, agonizing mountain climbs, and endless stretches of open road. And they do it all while battling extreme exhaustion and sleep deprivation. It’s a great subject for a film.”
