Ok I do ride serious but nothing beats a good beer after a nice work out and settling in for the evening. I am wondering given the time of year what those that have taste for the suds are drinking? I suppose the serious racers are avoiding this stuff but I remember Frank Shorter marathon gold medalist enjoy a liter the night before we won. He did not want to change is normal routine.

For me the best is the Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale. For a cyclist this seems the true beer because it brings to mind those Sierra Nevada climbs in NoCal and it is one of the best beers in the hunt. Had one tonight and this years is no exception very good with malt and hops.

This is not a Holiday Beer as such but a true gem Great Lakes Commodore Perry IPA. This one makes the post ride worth all the crazy cold and crappy weather of December.

I have not tired and others so throwing this thread out to see what is good to try. For myself the idea of cycling and them making sure to enjoy the fruits of the journey with a beer is always nice.
