Bear Naked: All Natural Granola, Oatmeal, Low Sugar Cereal and 100% Organic Hot Cereal

Bear Naked kicks off the tour with San Francisco’s Bay to Breakers

Lobsters can't wait to get their claws on Bear Naked!

The 2010 Bear Naked tour is officially on and teams from Denver, Seattle and Boston met up over the weekend in San Francisco at Bay to Breakers for a crazy kick-start to this year’s adventures. The annual 12K footrace starts out strong with a batch of serious runners and keeps rollin’ all Sunday with crazy crowds of costumed party animals.

Bay to Breakers is a May-time Mardi Gras/Halloween fest and Bear Naked was there to see everything from joggers in Santa suits and Lady Gaga fashions to brave bodies in swim suits and “birthday” suits!

The patient crowd waits for their granola surprise

The granola moved fast and everyone was pumped to try out Bear Naked’s newest flavor, Maple Pecan. Add a little vanilla yogurt, fresh strawberries and blueberries and the streets were loaded with people hungry for some parfait rejuvenation.

Remember Goldilocks-- cups and spoons are compostable!

There’s never a dull moments at a San Francisco festival and the Bear Naked crew was proud to be a part of the madness.

Rockin’ the Naukabout Music Festival

Posted on August 12th, 2009 | by LJ & Jon | 1 Comment »

We were out on the Cape for the weekend to support the runners of the Falmouth Road Race and the attendees of the Naukabout Music Festival! Naukabout is a clothing brand and a term that means “to relax and enjoy life’s best experiences”- which is what the music festival is all about! The concert vibed very well with the Live Bear Naked culture and everyone loved the Bear Naked granola and yogurt parfaits we were giving away!

The festival goers spent the afternoon chilling in the grass, listening to music, playing games (frisbee, hula hoop, and bean bag toss are a few that come to mind), and of course grabbing a snack when they were hungry! Our tent was located right next to the side stage which was a pretty perfect spot to hear some great tunes and share the granola love with the crowds that gathered for each artist.

We met some pretty neat people including some guys doing yoga on top of a rope tied between 2 trees! One of these yogis was hungry so he grabbed a parfait and jumped back on the rope and did some poses while eating his Bear Naked!!

One of the highlights of the day was taking Bear Naked parfaits back into the ‘artists only’ area and serving granola to the bands! We even got to walk out on to the stage and serve parfaits to the Ryan Montbleau Band while they were setting up! The drummer later told us “your parfaits saved my life! I had 2 right before we played our set- I think I would have passed out otherwise!”

We’re so glad we could be there to provide Bear Naked snacks to Rusted Root, the Ryan Montbleau Band, Emily Elbert, all the other artists, and the awesome crowd who made the Naukabout Music Festival such a great day!

Fat Tire Triathlon

The Fat Tire Triathlon is a 1/2 mile swim in the clear waters of Horsetooth Reservoir (Eltuk Bay), followed by a 12 mile single-track bike over rolling terrain and across valley bridges through Lory State Park, finishing with a fun and challenging 4.8 mile (8k) run on dirt trails!

Watching these athletes chow on our parfaits made me realize just how many calories these guys burn off.  We had one guy munch on our granola parfaits 6 times.  Hungry triathletes + limited granola supply = no more granola.  These guys ate us dry.  We were psyched that everybody got to sample and left with not only a grin about the tri, but a nice, granola-splashed smile.

Talk about getting dirty.  After this silly duathlon had been completed, we were greeted by Charlie Chapmans, Talking Bananas, French Maids, and Ninjas to name a few of the many characters that tried our parfaits.  As we brought only a limited supply of reusable bags, we had created a huge buzz about both the parfaits and our baggies.  People were willing to trade certain articles of clothing for a bag and even a pair of muddy shoes.  This race was a ton of fun and the scenery was absolutely stunning.  Everybody from little tikes to grandparents were running and cycling together in this amusing race to the finish line.

The Urban Assault Ride is the biggest bike scavenger hunt series in the world.  You and a teammate will take to the streets on a city wide bike adventure.  Plot your own course to various checkpoints around the area.  There are routine physical and mental obstacles throughout the length of the course.

Beer and Bear Naked granola parfaits: the new burger and fries :)  We met some ridiculously outfitted teams with either ’80s spandex, trippy hippie colorways, and/or Harley buffs.  A wide spectrum of people raced with big wheels and accessories up the hizzie!  You guys were great!!

San Francisco, CA

The 55th annual outdoor arts & crafts festival was packed full of arts & crafts vendors  including jewelry, art, clothing, music and food vendors. The festival centered in and  around Washington Square Park, with live music including R&B, pop, rock, etc. There were an estimated 125,000 people (lifestyle enthusiasts, Bay Area locals, families, young/old professionals and tourists) who enjoyed the festival this year.
Our colorful booth had PRIME placement In Washington Square Park, stationed 10 ft from the main stage. Our bright orange tent stood out among the sea of white and was clearly visible within 1-2 blocks. According to the festival organizer, we had the best-looking set-up by far and received the highest customer service ratings among all sponsors at the event!

TEVA Mountain Games

Posted on June 9th, 2009 | by Tara & Chris | No Comments »

The TEVA Mtn Games rocked our world!  Events that are common to the Mtn games: racing, slopestyle, dockdogs, mud run, bouldering, music, food, kayaking, parkour, bike stunts, etc, etc, etc.  This event was no joke.  Not only were the people rooting for their companions of all sports and culture, the people were rooting for Bear Naked.  The people of Vail have spoken; they are voraciously craving granola and we gave it to them…literally all of it.  

Dogs were jumping 22+ feet into the water, bikers were stunting backflip tailwhips across 25 foot gaps, climbers were performing dynos vertically, cyclists were bombing their course, kayakers were throwing down flips, and runners were hightailing it through the trenches of mud.  TEVA Mtn Games = pure sport chaos.   Thank goodness we could provide all these athletes and spectators with the most tastiest form of carbohydrates: granola parfaits!!!

 

 

Living Bear Naked at Earthfest!

Posted on June 3rd, 2009 | by LJ & Jon | 1 Comment »

Earthfest is free concert at the Hatch Shell on the Charles River Esplanade in Boston put on by Radio 92.9 and this year was sponsored by Whole Foods, and it was a truly spectacular day! With over 100,000 attendees this festival features live music (this year featuring bands such as Soul Asylum and The Lemonheads), a kids stage, lots of food and vendors, and environmental educators that promote sustainability!

We were there serving granola all day and it was fabulous! The sun was shining, the music was playing and everyone was in good spirits! We were complimented on our use of compostable spoons and cups, and as always the reusable grocery bags we give away were a highly sought-after item!

I’d like to send a huge shout out of thanks to David Kampner and his team at Stonyfield Yogurt! Without their yogurt support we would not have been able to so successfully serve 6000 Bear Naked Granola and Stonyfield Yogurt parfaits topped with fresh berries!

The entire event was very well run and we hope everyone who came out had as much fun as we did!
