The 7th Annual Beer:30 Returns to Southwest Michigan on Saturday, September 6
Cyclists and craft beer lovers, get ready to ride! The 7th Annual Beer:30 Ride takes place on Saturday, September 6, 2025, starting and ending at Watermark Brewing Company in Stevensville, MI. This 30-mile cycling tour weaves through the beautiful backroads of Southwest Michigan and features beer tastings at six local breweries/tap rooms along the way returning to Watermark Brewing Company for a Post-Ride Party featuring the Mike Struwin Band.
Hosted by the nonprofit cycling club Pachyderm Pedalers, The Beer:30 has become a much-anticipated end of summer tradition—combining fitness, fun, and the region’s world-class beer culture. Riders can expect a scenic, social, and unforgettable ride with a festive atmosphere and plenty of post-ride celebration. Tasting stops include Round Barn Public House, Transient Artisan Ales, SideYard - Sawyer, Haymarket Taproom and Peat's Cider Social.
“This event is all about community, camaraderie, supporting local businesses and raising fund for Cycle-Re-Cycle of Benton Harbor,” said Greg Collins, President and Event Director for the Pachyderm Pedalers. “We’re thrilled to bring it back for a seventh year and look forward to welcoming up to 500 riders to experience the best of Southwest Michigan on two wheels.”
In addition to the ride and tastings, the event features a raffle with premium prizes donated by national cycling brands and local businesses. Proceeds support the club’s nonprofit mission, including youth cycling programs and bicycle safety advocacy.
