OT - What beer goes best with your bikes?
The weekend is upon us, so I thought this question was timely, if off-topic:
What beer goes best with your bikes?
Are they Micro Brewed Colnagos?
Sam Adams Schwinns?
Maybe you have a Guiness Stout Dawes, or a PBR single speed?

You gonna eat that?
Rahr Brewery is here in Fort Worth and some of the employees cycle to work, so they tend to put out brews that complement the lifestyle. I'm not sure how far from Fort Worth you can get their beer, though.

I like to keep it local so 312 is one of my favorites for the summer, it went very well with the restoration of my Chicago made paramount.
For winter I like to mix it up with various dark beers including

^Pottsville is where Yuengling is made, my wife is from Pottstown(about 30 miles away). They get confused alot.
Pottsville was home to the NFL's Pottsville Maroons in the 1920's.

I like Yuengling Porter, but it's not as good as it used to be. It used to be a lot more like Guinness.

I like an ice cold, mediocre/low-qual local beer. Right now it's cans of Rheingold. Most of the time it's Miller Light. I save the expensive Pilsners for dinnertime.

It takes all kinds. I like PBR when it's hot out. I usually drink bourbon when I'm wrenching. In my fridge right now PBRs sit right next to a 750ml of Chimay. I can't afford a Merkx, but I'll drink the hell out of some Belgian beer.

Most of the bars I frequent have PBR draft specials. One bar does PBR pints for $1.50 all the time. I like going there. It makes me happy.

Riding like its 1990
If its good enough for Lance its good enough for me - Michelob Ultra
But that's because I'm trying to get my gut gone.
Fairly boring drinker though as I settle for Killians Red most of the time.

It depends on what country I'm passing thru..
when in eastern Europe .. Pivo is Beer.
Oregon Small town 2 microbrewerys, 27 taverns and bars, its more the people you see there than what you drink.
Lager when cost is a consideration, Ales and Pilsners when its less of a priority.
