Beer in the bike lane

A Portland, Ore., brewery is using the power of the pedal to get its new bike bar around.

Global Warming is coming for your beer.
 
The folks at Hopworks Urban Brewing have an idea to fight that -- a human-powered mobile beer bar.
 
They built a pedal-powered bar built on the frame of a cargo bike that comes complete with two kegs and a pizza storage compartment. They will be pedaling around the upcoming Oregon Manifest handmade bike show topped off with Bike Brew, a special batch made for the occasion.

HAHAHAHA! That's awesome!

Whoever came up with this idea = WIN! Move over, ice cream bikes!

I'm just curious, though: how will the "law" handle these bikes? I'm assuming that whoever wants to sell beer from a bike will need to pay through the nose to get some form of licenses(s). I also wonder what will happen to customers: will there be a police officer waiting a block away to arrest anyone for drinking in public?

With a little more personal liberties, these bikes could be absolutely epic.
