Orlando’s ‘Beer Bomb Bus Tour’ is Back

After a long hiatus due to a broken bus, Mike is back to driving the Shipyard bus around Central Florida for the Beer Bomb Bus Tour. The next one is Sunday, February 22nd and leaves from Redlight Redlight (new location on Bennet Dr.) at 2PM. You’ll ride on the Shipyard bus to four bars in four towns where you’ll learn about a different beer at each bar. Your first specialty beer is included in the $40 ticket price as well as complimentary Shipyard on the bus.

I was on what I think was the last one of these in September, 2007 when the bus broke down on the way to the first bar. We made the best of it and made it to the first bar in Sanford and had a mini-tour that also ended there :-) I’m looking forward to doing another one of these and would be there next weekend if I wasn’t going to be out of town.

Tickets are on sale at Redlight Redlight. For more info, see the Beer Bomb of the Month MySpace page.
