To celebrate Queen’s Day, a Dutch national holiday, beer brand Grolsch in Miami partnered with local bike group The Miami Bike Scene, the Grand Central Park non-profit organization, and the Dutch Consulate to turn the monthly Miami Critical Mass bike ride into the Go Dutch! bike ride on April 27. The ride wound through the city and ended at Miami’s Grand Central Park with an orange festooned festival to celebrate the beer and the holiday. The brand handed out 800 branded orange shirts to the bikers at the start of the ride to punch up the visual impact of the 2,000-rider event.
