Danke Schoen!
If I recall, the Prussians used a different word for it. Do you have any idea what it is?
Maybe I'll meet you over at West Town bikes for a Radler sometime.

I hope you like it. I wouldn't want you to send the Belgian Bike Police over here to Chicago to repossess my Merckx.

Put some lights on!
but if you're looking for another excellent ale without bottle breakage issues, I enthusiastically recommend Surly Furious in 16 oz. 4-packs.

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.

Good memory, kbjack! Nice, but a little too dark for me.

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.

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.

I forgot the name of this stuff until you mentioned it. Was in Pittsburgh last year for a bachelor party, the rest of the Ohio crew (But me) seemed to be afraid of it. I like it, I like Iron City too. They must deliver Crapwiser to Ohio by the trainload.

A proper C&V beer should be a cheap one, and preferably obsolete.
Hamm's, Olympia, Lone Star, Falstaff, Narragansett, and Brew 102, for example.

I support the Radler/Weißbier movement. This thread makes me very happy about the country i'm living in, beergardens everywhere 
What about that one?
i tasted the beer, and take it from a native bavarian, it rocks big time
Also Erik Zabel knows how to pick a sponsor:

oh yes he does:
As do 6day serial winners Risi/Betschart:
Cheers,

I have a couple of those (Dos Equis and Caracu) and, although I've never tasted those beers, the jerseys are good ...

In Bavaria and austria: "Radler" (cyclist)
in northern germany, especially Hamburg: "Alsterwasser" ("water from the river Alster")
in france and switzerland, it is called "Panaché", or "Panasch" in german speaking parts of switzerland.
then there is the same thing mixed with wheat beer, which is called "Russ" (Russian)

Appropriately, the oldest brewery in the world - I'd say that's C&V. My favorite lager, hands-down.

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

Anhauser Busch bought the company from InBev (which owned Latrobe Brewing, but let it run independently and make bheer the way they knew best), immediately closed the plant, fired all the staff, and now makes the bheer in New Jersey. If you look at the bottle closely, it now says "Latrobe Brewing Company, St. Louis, MO". They bought the company to get the name and the green bottle, period.
Of course, I don't drink the bheer anymore. And I hope InBev takes them over and completely guts the company.

You lucky b.... I sure miss living in Germany. You'll have to be more specific on these beer concoctions though - the only one I remember was basic cola bier that was popular with the ladies. And it didn't have any special name where I lived, just cola bier.

The local brewery just released a new one.
Slipstream Cream Ale
alas no photo: https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/phillip...le/88794/6162/
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... and I am an ale man to be sure... My last name is Bier for crying out load and my family is from Germany... in anycase since visiting germany and tasting a real 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.

Tried some homemade radler for the first time last night after a long day of riding - very, very nice. I'm hooked.

I've been doing the homebrew thing myself. Today I brewed up a batch of Stone Ruination IPA clone, that'll be a nice fall beer. I have some ESB, a nut brown ale, and a few bottles of amber lager still waiting, and come to think of it, I should put some in the fridge. But first I'm going to ride.
