This bottle is just one example of Hopworks being nearly synonymous with bicycling in Portland. Owner and brewmaster Christian Ettinger likes to mingle the cultures of bikes and brews and encourages riding as a way to both sustain the environment and build community. As a Certified Bike Friendly Business, Hopworks supports many area bike events and offer ample bike parking at their locations. Hopworks carries its bike enthusiasm to the point of using recycled bicycle parts in their interior decoration; having stationary bikes customers can peddle to generate energy at their BikeBar on North Williams; and even collaborating to create a bicycle with two kegs of chilled beer on tap, pizza, and a sound system. Bike Beer was available at the first Biketobeer Fest in 2009.
