very nice tasting Belgian beer, and pretty potent stuff
the regular vintage is 8.5% ETOH and some of their special brews
(Delirium Noel) are in the 10% ETOH range.
I'd put them right up there with Newcastle Brown for butt kicking ability.

Sounds like sacrilege, but it's outstanding as an ice cream float. Really. Good for a hot summer evening.

I'm sorry, but the only 'true' Philly beer is Rolling Rock, before
it was bought out by whoever bought it and turned it into a crap beer.
as I recall, way back when it gave Coors a run for its money in terms of taste,
of course I've slept since then so I may be wrong on that account

But the marketing is better than the beer sadly... but phillips is an awesome brewery.
After a ride I do prefer something in a German style Pilsner... I have come to like Okanagan Springs 1516 Bavarian Lagar which is the closest beer to anything german I have tasted here besides the imports... Becks is always good of course.

I'm totally with you on the pilsner, 1516 epically. I put it on my taps (Peacock Billiards) to hit a price point and it's now my favorite draught that we carry. If you like it in the bottle, I strongly recommend trying it on draught, it's excellent! I also carry Pilsner Urquel if you're looking for the oldest pilsner in the world!

If you want true "Philly" beer from yester year it would have to be Schmidt's or Ortliebs. Preferably in a quart bottle, on a neighbor's front stoop, in August, when the temp is still 85 degrees at midnight and the humidity is in the low 90% range.

How is Schmidts a Philly beer? the can I'm looking at right now says "G. Heileman's, Milwaukee", and Their slogan is "the brew that grew in the great northwest." Was the name bought by Heilemans and resloganeered for us out here in the great northwest?

Duvel's one of my favorites, too. Since moving to Michigan I've discovered Bell's Best Brown
maybe not the perfect cap to a summer ride, but a great all around brown ale.
BTW, Road Fan, what were we drinking the other day? Was it Olde No. 22 from Arbor Brewing Co? Very good stuff.

Just got back from an 60Km just in time since here in Belgian, the weather changes fast. It just started to pour once I got home a while ago. But back to the beer....I just poured a fresh glass of this from my Philips Perfect Draft.

I know that it sounds blasphemous but, on most hot nights, after my ride home from work, I tend to grab whatever beer is in the fridge and mix it half and half in a mug with Squirt/Diet Squirt or lemonade.
Completly refreshing.
Before you start throwing things at me, consider that this is very common in England and Germany (referred to as a Shandy or Radle, respectively). Other parts of Europe as well, I'd guess.
I used to have Bavarian friends who said that it was traditional to go hiking in the Alps on Sunday mornings and then drink them for lunch. Same concept.

No one cares
yea, rolling rock is from Latrobe which is about 250 miles from Philly, or 60 miles out from Pittsburg. Nothing Philly about it.
The Pennsylvania standby throughout the state, the beer whch is ordered by simply saying "i'll have a lager" at any bar within the state and nearby, is Yuengling.
Speaking of Schmidts, when I moved into my house, there was a stand alone garage that is now my "bike shop". I found a bunch of Schmidts cans in perfect shape hidden in the loft above the garage. they are now on "display" next to various bike parts. I'll have to snap a pic.
