CLASSIC RIDE DISTANCES
15-Mile: The Long Branch Loop 🏖️
The ride kicks off at Birdsmouth Beer in Oceanport and immediately heads east through Long Branch to the coast. You'll enjoy an extended five-mile stretch along the beautiful Jersey Shore boardwalks, soaking in amazing views of the Atlantic Ocean. After taking in the best the coast has to offer, the route loops inland via less-traveled neighborhood roads, bringing you back past the Monmouth University Campus and back to Birdsmouth Beer for a well-deserved, rewarding post-ride beer!
30-Mile: The Asbury Park Classic 🎸
This course shares the start with the 15-Mile, departing from Birdsmouth Beer and hitting the coast. However, the ride continues for an extended seven-and-a-half-mile oceanfront run through the beautiful historic beach town of Asbury Park. You'll pass iconic landmarks like the Boardwalk, Convention Hall, and the Carousel Building. The route then turns inland toward the coast of Shark River for your mid-point rest stop. Travel back through less-traveled roads, seeing the Monmouth University Campus, and finish strong for your refreshing post-ride beer!
45-Mile: The Southern Shoreline Explorer 🌊
The 45-Mile route encompasses the full experience of the 15- and 30-Mile courses, including views of Asbury Park. After the rest stop in Shark River, the route extends further south for a scenic outer loop through the quiet, rolling farmlands of Wall Township. You'll use a local bike path to return to the coast, traveling through historically scenic towns like Sea Girt, Spring Lake, Lake Como, and Belmar. You will loop back through Shark River for a second rest stop before returning on less-traveled roads past the Monmouth University Campus. Finish strong for your rewarding cold beer!
NEW RIDE DISTANCES
3-Mile: FUN RIDE - Fort Monmouth Explorer 🏰
New this year! Out of popular demand, we are thrilled to offer our very first 3-Mile Fun Ride distance. This is the perfect, simple loop for families, new riders, and casual cyclists. Starting and finishing at Birdsmouth Beer, this course takes you on a safe, dedicated loop through the historic grounds of Fort Monmouth. Enjoy a unique ride past the former military post's iconic buildings and sprawling grounds before heading straight back to the brewery for your well-earned, post-ride reward!
Metric Century (62 Miles): The Point Pleasant Coastal Epic 🌅
This premier course encompasses the entirety of the 45-Mile ride before extending the adventure! After the loop through Wall Township and hitting the bike path, the Metric Century ride takes a crucial route split further south through Brielle, crossing the bridge into Point Pleasant Beach. You'll finish this southern loop through a long stretch of Herbertsville before connecting back to the coast. After touring Sea Girt, Spring Lake, Lake Como, and Belmar, you'll grab your final fuel at the Shark River rest stop before passing the Monmouth University Campus. Finish strong at Birdsmouth Beer for the ultimate celebratory brew!

Very smooth overall experience. They clearly do their best to avoid as many stops, left-hand turns, and hazards on the road. A well-thought-out route with plenty of rest stops.

MUCH MORE THAN A BIKE RIDE
Out of our shared love for cycling, craft beer, and giving back to the local community, Bikes & Beers was born! We knew from the start this combination was a match made in heaven. Our events bring cyclists of all levels together for a fun, challenging weekend ride followed by an unforgettable post-ride brewery party!
The Bikes & Beers experience is about celebrating the journey and the destination. Every ride features well-marked routes, mechanical support, and scenic views, ensuring you have the best possible time on two wheels. When you cross the finish line, the reward is waiting: a celebratory atmosphere at one of America's best craft breweries, complete with complimentary craft beers, live music, local food trucks, and plenty of camaraderie.
Since our first event in 2013, we've continuously strived for improvement in both the cycling and beer experience. This passion has allowed us to grow exponentially, hosting Bikes & Beers at over 80 breweries in 20 states with more than 135,000 cyclists attending! But our mission extends beyond the ride; we are dedicated to supporting the communities we visit, raising awareness and funds for local cycling advocacy groups.
Our riders mean everything to us. You are the heartbeat of Bikes & Beers, and your support fuels our ability to grow and give back. Thank you for joining us on this incredible journey!
