Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Beer.

Duh, beer rules.

Gettin' hammered in SLC sounds like quite the night. You should come down to colorado and drink some real, high alcohol beer





Not a colorado brew, but i live for this, when i can get it...

Haha, close. 4% max at the grocery store. Have to go to the liquor store to get good beer, and at a premium. Surprisingly, we have some pretty good micros up here. Cutthroat is a great 4%er. The best beer I've had to date is Mac and Jacks Amber. Amazing.

I wouldn't be surprised. I can only go through about 3 pages of threads before I see something shiny and the ADD kicks in. Damn genetics!

Rochefort 8. Trappist Belgian. Not as distributed as Chimay. Introduced to me at some dingy hostel in Bruges Belgium. sometimes found at BevMo or Whole Foods. Awesome.

I am a big fan of Harpoon IPA. Although sometimes hard to find in the south; so then it is a Sierra Nevada - the one with the green label.

Bikes: A dozen or so.

My current favorite is Blue Moon (probably because it's always on sale at Safeway). Coors Light is always stocked in my fridge(something about CO?).

Sierra Nevada, Fat Tire, Guiness, Newcastle are good too.

I just like beer.

I like most of Great Lakes brews. Goose Island had a great seasonal Harvest Ale this year. Some good stuff in MI. too like Founders and New Holland. I got Hatterized last summer there.

I'm not above a cold Bud in a can tho.

I usually drink Trumer Pils, brewed in Berkeley (or at the original brewery in Salzburg, Austria). I'm drinking one right now in fact!

The best beer is whatever they're selling at the last business you encounter at the end of long day touring in the desert, and you tuck it into your sleeping bag and ride on until you find the perfect camp, all alone and hidden and the night falls and stars light up and finally you spritz open your still-cold nightcap. It's always worked for me...except once, in Australia, when I stuffed two beers into the sleeping bag and one somehow opened the other and I got a beer-soaked sleeping bag.

Luckily, the other beer was still fine.

Chamay is number one in our house. Once in awhile you gotta kill some brain cells. I'd be worried about missing my ride the next day.. Salt Lake City.. Being dry.. Reason to drink.

When wearing my beer stein cycling socks ; that quote is pasted over the soles of my feet. .. But, it attributes it to Benjamin Franklin. ?.

Mac and Jacks African Amber is a local best seller. Their black jack porter(hard to find)is delicious as well.

The Redhook brewery is located about 12 miles from my house, 10 miles can be ridden via bike trail. They have many good brews there: cask conditioned ales, Porter and ESB on a nitrous tap. They recently released a porter blended with Starbucks coffee...Needless to say this is one of our favorite places to end our rides.
