Two Wheeled Action ~

With the melting of the snow comes our second favorite activity - bikes!  From amazing trails around the June Lake area, to the lift assisted gravity induced shred spectacle that is the Mammoth Mountain Bike Park, the Eastern Sierra has no lack of two wheeled awesomeness.

This Friday (July 1st) marks the kickoff of the 2016 Village Championship Downhill (VCDH) series presented by Five Ten.  Basically the series is comprised of ten Friday evening races between July 1st and September 9th at Mammoth Mountain Bike Park.  Show up Fridays at 4pm to register in front of the Mammoth Mountain Adventure Center at Main Lodge, be at the race start at 5pm and get ready to rip.  The races are free to enter (though you will need a bike park ticket, season pass or you can purchase a racers two upload pack for $8) and being JLB is running them we have super killer gear from our generous sponsors (e.g., Five Ten, Footloose, JLB, Oakley, GoPro, Giro, Sensus, etc.) to raffle to competitors at each race.  Oh yeah and thanks to Mammoth Mountain, we've got killer after parties setup after each race with tasty apps, $3 JLB and happy hour pricing all night.  To check this year's schedule and get more info check - http://www.mammothmountain.com/summer/bike-park/bike-park-events/vcdh

Returning for a second year of carnage the USA Cycling Nationals will be taking over Mammoth Mountain Bike Park July 12th to July 17th.  With a number of JLB TestPilots racing, including our Assistant Brewer Johnny Kimball defending his Cat 1 DH 30-34 National title, we will be heckling in full force.  If you're interested in racing, volunteering as a course marshal, or participating in our JLB TestPilot Support Program, reply to this email and we'll get you dialed in.

Finally after all of this we close out the bike season with the Kamikaze Bike Games (KBG).  If you truly want to experience the utter chaos that is biking in the Eastern Sierra... KBG is not to be missed.  With events for every ability level and discipline, KBG is a two wheeled circus for the whole family.  Watch for the JLB TestPilots on the podium.

Get Out on That Bike!

Almost 2 ~


That's right, June Lake Brewing's 2nd anniversary is less than a week away, so get your party hat ready.  Monday June 20th the festivities will kickoff at 6am with the start of the first ever Red Yeti Challenge.  Victims will voluntarily self-orient to seven disparate beer stops where they will be required to fully consume a provided beer while being berated and discouraged by a member of the JLB Team.  With $800 in cash prizes, 4,800' of ascent/decent and over 14 miles to cover, the Red Yeti Challenge will criple you.

For those not into self punishment, the party will officially kickoff at 11am when we will open the expanded tasting biergarten (aka our parkinglot) to the frothing masses.  With beer specials, food from Ohanas395, live music and a yet to be determined physical challenge, this will be a fun time for all.  Oh yeah we'll also be releasing our limited edition 2nd Anniversary tshirt (only available in person, first come first serve), which is bound to sellout (check it out below).  So be there Monday June 20th to witness history.

For the anniversary we will be releasing our barrel aged version of the oh so popular Silver Lake Saison.  We filled a couple of our Pinot Noir wine barrels with our saison and then food processed 20lbs of organic hand picked cherries from Apple Hill Ranch (just south of Bishop in Wilkerson) and poured that glorious slurry of yum straight into the barrels on top of the saison.  Also we dosed one 15.5 gallon keg of Archimedes Red with Madagascar vanilla beans soaked in bourbon.  Both of these beers will be unleashed on the public at the anniversary so be there.

To recap Super Awesome Anniversary Happenings:
  • 6am Red Yeti Challenge Begins
  • 11am Open to the Masses
  • 11am Tap 2nd Anniversary Barrel Aged Silver Lake Saison
  • 12pm Red Yeti Challenge Podium
  • 12pm - 2pm Music From Inebriated Oracle (Local JL Band)
  • 2pm - 7pm Music From Full Revolution
  • 4pm Tap 2nd Anniversary Vanilla Archimedes Red
  • 5pm - 6pm Stein Holding Contest
We can safely say we warned you (it's been directly stated it will sellout in the past six JLBooze Letters), but the 4th Annual June Lake Autumn Beer Festival beer garden is now sold out.  The festival (Saturday October 1st) is free and open to the public, but all of the available tickets for the beer garden have been purchased.  If you really want a ticket, but missed the boat we advise checking the eventbrite page on the regular.  In the event someone wants to refund their ticket, a ticket will be added back on to the page and will be up for grabs to the first person who spots it.

Thanks and Cheers!

June On All Fronts

June Lake Brewing

June Lake is 100!

Yup June Lake was officially founded 100 years ago with the creation of the Rush Creek Hydroelectric Project and Roy Carson's (an employee of the project) creation of Carson Camp at Silver Lake.  Now known as Silver Lake Resort, Carson Camp was the first recreational destination in the valley for the public.

So June Lake turns 100, and on June 20th (Summer Solstice) JLB is turning 2!  Though not as super mega as turning 100, we're all over the moon to be potty trained, out of diapers and walking.  To celebrate both of our birthdays, JLB will be holding a party Monday June 20th in our parking lot and we'll be releasing a crazy cherry/Pinot barrel aged Silver Lake Saison (in homage to Silver Lake Resort) along with a vanilla version of our Archimedes Red.

Events - June 20th - June Lake Brewing 2nd Anniversary (free!) July 1st - 2016 VCDH Series Kickoff Race (also free!) July 9th - June Lake Triathlon July 15th-19th - USA Cycling Nationals at Mammoth Aug 4th-7th - 21st Annual Blueszapalooza Sept 15th-18th - Kamikaze Bike Games Oct 1st - 4th Annual June Lake Autumn Beer Festival With 64 tickets left for the Biergarten at the 4th Annual June Lake Autumn Beer Festival, to be held on Saturday October 1st, you need to buy your ticket NOW!  GET YOUR TICKETS HERE!  The overall festival is free, open to the public, kid friendly and Super Awesome, but if you want to be part of the beer tasting debauchery, you will need one of these 64 remaining tickets.


Thanks and Cheers!
