If any of them are into alt bikes get them Abita Purple Haze. There's a great classic/alt bike show in Abita Springs LA in the Spring.

This evening, to thank my LBS wrenches for their help with two recent bike builds (a TT bike, and a Surly LHT commuter/shopping bike), I brought them a 6-pack of Fat Tire ale, and some deli chocolate chunk cookies.
It was the first real "shopping experience" for the Surly, so it seemed appropriate to use it to thank the bike shop guys.

I don't love Heineken but I would drink it. As has already been pointed out though, Bud Light isn't even beer. I would rather drink bottled water.

Seriously, Fat Tire is great if you can get it. I also like Singletrack's copper ale.
On the non-bike-related front, Arrogant Ba$tard is good stuff.

Please never mention "Bud light" and "beer" in the same thread again.

Also, try the limited brew Abita Restoration Ale. Proceeds go to help rebuild NOLA.

i would never not drink a free beer--however giving your mechanic fat tire or singletrack copper is a bit of a cliche. "oh, he works on bikes, i'll give him a bike beer." i would say 90% of the beer tips i have gotten have been one of those two. branching out is not a bad thing. seasonal is a great thing.

Best reason I've heard to bring the bike inside.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is always appreciated at our shop, and I like a good wheat beer.

Beer is good. So are cookies, a cake, brownies(The regular kind). No pie, it is a little to messy. Got a homemade Chocolate cheesecake once. That is still the tops.
