Brew Fest
A new tradition since 2022, the Viking Tour Brew Fest is our modern take on a village celebration. We’ve gathered the best local beer, cider, and wine from across the region to help you toast to a day well-spent. With plenty of food on-site, it’s the perfect place to relax with your crew.
No bike? No problem. You don’t need to be a rider to join the feast—everyone is welcome at our table.
Bike Ride
A Kitsap County tradition since 2015, the Viking Tour is the ultimate blend of scenic challenge and celebration. Rally your crew to take on one of our three distinct routes, then toast your victory at the Brew Fest with a complimentary meal and a cold drink.
We’re limiting the ranks to the first 500 riders to keep the experience top-tier—secure your spot and prepare for glory.
Brew Fest Details
A proper celebration requires the right provisions. The Viking Tour Brew Fest brings together a curated selection of beer, wine, and cider from a dozen local artisans. While the riders are out conquering the hills, our “village” gates remain open to everyone. Whether you’re finishing a 57-mile quest or just looking for a scenic afternoon in Poulsbo, come join the feast—no bike required.

The Viking Tour is a Near-0 Waste Event
We’ve made a commitment to be a “Near-0 Waste” event which means we will do everything we can to reduce waste, reuse various elements, and set up waste stations for recyclable and compostable materials. All waste created during the event will be delivered to Peninsula Subaru who, working with Terracycle, will transform it into benches and tables. All plates, cups and utensils are certified compostable and will be taken to Olympic Organics (along with the food scraps). Lastly, any rider bibs can be left with us so we can ship them to Trex where they can ride into a new life as composite decking.
