Dave Cutter, nobody likes a Debbie Downer. I can appreciate your recovery/abstention/whatever it is you are doing, but coming into a BEER thread to spout your self righteous position on the choice others are making should be back at the meeting convincing someone else....

I don't care if anyone has a beer when they ride or not. I will say this, the OP mentioned next time he'd bring something in a can. FYI, if it's in a can, it's not beer.
Now having cleared that up...
I will say this, if a cyclist were hit and killed by a motorist, and a blood test indicated he had a small amount of alcohol in his system after having had one beer, the people on this forum would likely be lighting the torches and grabbing the pitchforks crying out for the motorist's head on a platter demanding swift and severe justice to be carried out against the motorist who was "driving under the influence".

Still not beer, no matter what it was before they put it into the can.
IMO - it's pretty simple, beer comes on tap or in a bottle, Budwiser comes in cans. (that should rile up the townspeople)

It is interesting here in Hawaii. Trucking on the mainland is deregulated, but ocean shipping is regulated federally as common carrier. So InBev (Bud) was able to get a low tariff for full bottles of beer (which as a common carrier, the rate extends to everyone). But shipping empty bottles is very expensive, so it is actually cheaper to ship them with beer in them. Thus the local craft brewers that want to go beyond draft/bar sales (eg Kona Brewery) brew/bottle on the mainland. But some are experimenting with cans (cans are produced locally from sheet aluminum) such as Maui Brewing to get around that.

Hard to tell from some of the posts above that this thread is supposed to be about BEER. I know that the euros sometimes make good beer, and they sometimes drink it a bit warmer than I might prefer, but in my experience the right kind of good beer is best served cold, so I prefer to keep it as a post-ride recovery beverage. However I must confess I'd prolly have some mid-ride if I was offered something other than swill. Below, ladies and gents, we have a picture of the right kind of good beer:

I'm always happy to find good beer in cans, as in many places glass simply isn't allowed or is a bad idea...places like a pool deck, tubing down the river, boating, anything active or out in public. Broken glass (or carting out unbroken glass from whatever activity you were doing) isn't fun. At least your premise that Budweiser is not a beer is correct

České Budějovice is definitely a good beer and a nice Bohemia-Czech village to visit. (on a bicycle tour).

I haven't decided if this thread reads better before or after a beer, or if it drives someone there, but I think the question should be rephrased...
Anyone ever take a beer to enjoy while posting on BF?

You're missing the whole point. The real question is whether it's OK to have a beer or two while, or immediately before, posting here.

Had a good lunch beer today - Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest. Seeing as I forgot the salad part of my lunch (but remembered the little bit of meat), it was a nice treat to have with the granola bar I ended up having instead.

I would think think that a lot would depend on the size of a person's brain. A person that has a below normal brain, oops I mean a more svelte size brain, may only be able to handle one beer and be able to safely operate a keyboard. On the other hand someone with a large, robust, and manly, I mean somewhat above normal size, brain may be able to handle two or more. And there will always be those who rarely drink and type who should probably refrain from drinkng anything and posting at all.

Personally, neither of us will drink alcohol during road rides, but I often stop off for happy hour during my ride home from work. And the GF and often ride to dinner and then ride home after drinking.
