Is this off-topic?
 

Ummm....trying to think of a way to argue that this is relevant to cycling.

I guess I'll leave it up to you to decide.

Bicycles and beer both start with a "b".

It's not

That's going to take a heck of a lot of thinking. The only possible connection I can think of is that perhaps if you extrapolate evolution, cycling represents a higher evolutionary plane. One past beer.

It's a well-produced if lame commercial. :thumb:

Guiness isn't beer, it's just sold in the beer section.
My wife uses it as a beer additive, sorta like the tequila in her lime juice.

Well, Guinness does sponsor a cycling team.

They also sponsor a horse-surfing team:

Beer and cycling go together.

QED

Beer is never off-topic.

Yes, unless we want to have a thread posting miscellaneous videos of clever commercials.

Guinness is nice, but it's highly overrated. I find it's too mild. I prefer a dark stout where they've slightly burnt the malt. Guinness is not "smoky" enough. Mais, a chacun a son gout...

Depends on the type. Canned stuff is not good- On Draught and it is not bad but far too cold. Bottled at Ambient temp and pretty good but if you want the best-- Drink it in Ireland. Trust them to keep the good stuff for them selves.

But I would not like it as a Preride drink. Post ride and I'll take guinness in any form.

Good point. Or, it could be a thread about Sammy Davis, Jr. (who was singing "Rhythm of Life" from Sweet Charity in the first ad above).

Here's the original:

Carbon fiber bikes evolved from steel, so I definitely see the connection! :lol:

Brings up an interesting point, can items "evolve" without the guiding hand of a craftsman? Now, can beer find its way without outside help?

I like em all and say, lets all lift a tall cold one to the maker of all good things, Steel, Carbon Fiber and Hops. Benge Boy does find the fun stuff.

Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

Just watched to OP video. Was the music by Devo by chance?

See the Sammy Davis Jr. clip above - that's the original.

Said Ben Franklin.

Cheers all! I'm off to Cancun for a week and anticipate consuming a few brews during my absence from riding.:beer:

Hope you are going to do some Interval training with that. Get too intensive and you could be ill for a while.

Tequila shots are good interval training for those longer beer sessions.

Allegheny, One wants to do that training whilst in the pool,then you don't havw to worry about Scottogo's problem.

Beer is an integral part of my carbohydrate recovery session after a long ride. Here's a beer commercial that's always been my favorite...
