On October 7, 2023, the picturesque town of Parys in South Africa will transform into a hub of adrenaline, camaraderie, and scenic splendor for the 3rd annual "Beat the Brewer Parys" mountain bike event. The event will kick off at 08h00, initiating an unforgettable adventure for mountain bike enthusiasts.
Event Overview
Organized by the passionate folks behind Beat the Brewer, this unique mountain biking event promises an exciting blend of physical endurance and craft beer tasting. Participants will set off from Noble Equestrian Estate, exploring either a 40km or 60km route along the beautiful Free State side of the river. Along the way, riders will encounter two well-stocked water points that will not just hydrate but also entertain.
A Unique Challenge Awaits
What sets Beat the Brewer apart from other mountain bike events will be the element of "unexpected handicaps" – intriguing surprises to make the journey more thrilling. The event aims not just at beating the expert brewers at the finish line but also at beating one’s own personal records.

A Toast to Achievement
After conquering the challenging route, participants will have the opportunity to mingle with Brewers Ross, Huyser, and Ben. The brewers will not only test the bikers’ athletic prowess but also their knowledge of craft beer. Previous participants will testify: the sense of accomplishment goes well beyond the race. It’s about the friendships formed, the barriers broken, and the refreshing craft beer that awaits you at the end.
More than Just a Race
Last year's event saw an impressive turnout of 131 participants. Yet only 3 managed to outpace the Brewer Huyser, receiving a special beer glass as a token of their remarkable achievement. Beat the Brewer isn't merely about racing; it's a holistic experience focused on self-improvement, camaraderie, and simply enjoying the beauty of the Parys landscape.
