Because of the extremely wet spring, I’d logged 100s of miles less than in 2010 and my longest ride of the season was a 56-miler in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. And, despite a day in the 90+F range with high humidity, I achieved the goal.Ģ011 was a lot different. I wanted to prove to myself that in my 50th year that I could take on and complete this ridiculous ride. I did this ride for the first time last year with 6 other members of Team Kermit, my Pan-Mass Challenge cycling team. So, it’s an opportunity for a physical challenge and giving back. More than just a one-day bike ride, the B2B is a fundraiser for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Team Psycho, Harpoon’s elite triathlon team. I hear you asking, “What, are you crazy?” “YES,” I’d reply, “AND TWICE OVER!” Guess they don’t want to scare people away. Oops, they forgot to mention the 6,500+ feet of elevation. This ride is for cyclists who enjoy great beer, are physically and mentally tough, take pleasure in the fellowship of others, don’t whine, excel in the face of challenges, play by the rules, and can ride 148 miles to the finish safely and without their hands being held.” “The Harpoon Brewery to Brewery Ride is one tough ride. To wit, here’s the opening paragraph on the official B2B website: Affectionately known to riders as the “B2B”, this ride is not for everyone. This past Saturday I completed my second consecutive Harpoon Brewery to Brewery Ride, the single-day, 148-mile bike ride from Boston, MA to Windsor, VT that Harpoon has sponsored since 2001. ![]() CNN Sans ™ & © 2016 Cable News Network.Valentina Rosa, TRA360 founder and CEO (l) with friend Kyle Bettigole at the B2B start line Market holidays and trading hours provided by Copp Clark Limited.

The multi-year partnership with Harpoon helps to put Dunkin’ in a different light – and in different aisles of the store, said Brian Gilbert, the coffee and doughnut company’s vice president of retail business development. “And it gives a little bit of sophistication to the pumpkin with the coffee flavors.” To make the brews, Harpoon dropped a few doughnuts into the mash – treating them like a specialty grain or malt.įor non-doughnut beers, Harpoon kept the original recipe for the Coffee Porter and created the Pumpkin by brewing real pumpkin with a splash of coffee and pumpkin pie spices. “You get some creative brewers together, maybe over a couple of beers, and sure enough the conversation turns to ‘How could we make some beer with doughnuts?’” Dan Kenary, Harpoon’s chief executive officer and co-founder, told CNN Business.ĭoughnut-infused brews are not new to the craft beer world, but this is the first such move by Harpoon and Dunkin’.Īlthough experimentation included trials of cruller-filled beer and honey-dipped doughnut ales, Harpoon’s brewers quickly zeroed in on two prime candidates: a hazy India Pale Ale with a mix of fruit-forward hops, raspberry puree and Dunkin’ jelly doughnuts and a doughy Dry Irish Stout made with cacao nibs and Dunkin’ Boston Kreme doughnuts. The idea came up during the course of meetings to discuss Harpoon’s partnership with Dunkin’.
