Peroni is excellent.
There's a big French beer. It's Alsatian, of course. I can't remember its name. 333?

Peroni was the stuff we could get for cheap when i was in Europe. Birra Moretti ran a bit more. I was still busy drinking Czech Beers at that point and didn't really get into the Italian beers much. Pilsner Urquell gives Czech beer such a bad name. There are sooo many fantastic brews in that country.

Rear fender installation, bar wrap, twine and shellac last night. One bourbon, one beer and that's it.

Nah, when the Scots found corn they started making bourbon. Thank you, Elijah Craig.

In all honesty, my other passion is homebrewing. I tend to have a fair amount of homebrew when I'm wrenching on my bikes, currently Belgian Tripel, Honey Pale and Chocolate Oatmeal Stout.

Good on ya, homebrewers! I've wanted to brew my own for a while; just too many irons in the fire right now.
Here's what I'm drinking today. It pulls some bourbon out of the oak and is bottled at 8%+. Good stuff.

Homebrewing is actually really easy!! All you gotta do is buy yourself a kit. I got mine on windriver brewing's website, they give you all the equipment you need, all the ingredients for a beer of your choice, and amazing directions! It ends up paying for itself too, I get between 40-60 beers with each batch. Good luck with it if you start!
Oh and I tried my blueberry beer if anyone is curious it came out pretty good, I think it needs a few more days to carbonate all the way.

my bikes are dutch, therefore:
Grolsch
Amstel
Christoffel Blond Bier when I can get it (not often).
Best beers I've ever had were:
Fischerbrau micro brewed in Wein,
Budvar - the real budweiser
Scotch? lagavulen hands down.

A&W Root Beer. In the frosted mug. Two conies and I'm back out on the road.
