Update on ‘Barrel Monster’ »

This one’s from Amsterdam, but apparently they’re sweeping Europe: The Beer Bike!

UPDATE: As the commenter below notes, these are available in Minneapolis, including for “team-building” events and conventions. My first question is why the streets of D.C. weren’t filled with these paragons of vehicular awesomeness during the last TRB? What better way to enliven a dreary transpo conference than these mobile watering holes!

(thanks Dan)

    Wouldn’t that be DUI? or at least an open container violation?

    I’ve seen the one in Minneapolis. Apparently it’s BYOB. MN law allows the passengers of a bus or other conveyance operated by a transportation company to drink, as long as the driver stays clear of the booze.
