Cowtown Eats was the first to bring you news of Sac Brew Bike, a communal, 15 passenger bike that provides transportation between local bars and breweries.

But now they have some competition - Off The Chain Bike Tours, reports Sonya Sorich in Sac Biz Journal.

Blessinger and Todd Sebastian — the “foreman for festivities” — are co-owners of Off the Chain Bike Bus Tours. It was among the finalists in this year’s Calling All Dreamers retail business plan competition, but the idea didn’t win.

Blessinger and Sebastian are still moving forward with the business, and hope to start operating their bike bus in August. The bike, designed and built in Minnesota, will include a beer tap designed to be used when the bike is parked at events on private property.

In addition to Off the Chain Bike Tours having a tap, they'll also be partially powered by electric power, as opposed to Sac Brew Bike, which is powered by its riders.
