Beer.
Since I'm sitting around, getting loaded, I figured this would be a good thread to start up for all you beer lovers out there.
What beer do you drink during the off-season and during the season? Do you drink a lot more during the off-season? Do you drink light beers, or do you man up and drink the legit ****?
Me, I ride to the bar and drunkenly sprint home on my fixed (I know, I know, you can get a DUI on a bike. I live about 3 blocks away from my favorite bar), which is tough as hell. I'm already at a higher elevation, riding hard after getting tanked feels like I'm trying to fight a black bear dragon man on top of Mount Everest. Even still, I drink way less during the summer than I do during the winter, mainly I just don't have the time.
So what say you?

mmmmmmmm. beer.
My favorite summer, post-ride libation is Reissdorf Kolsch. Three or four of those along with a Reuben is my favorite recovery meal.
During the winter, I drink heavier beers, and usually not as part of any recovery strategy. Tonight I'm enjoying a Lagunitas New Dogtown Pale Ale, though I think their IPA is a better beer.
salut!

Beer??? Where's the beer??? Mmmmmm I drink the cheap crap, 'coz I cant afford the good German stuff, (St. Pauli Girl is my fav.) and going to a bar is WAY too expensive. Budweiser Select, and to quote the immortal George Thoroughgood, "I Drink Alone".

Hoegaarden or Duvel. Any kind of Beglium ale will do though. Those just happen to be my two favorites. And Duvel running in at 8.5%, it'll get you hammered pretty quick.

I've got so much good microbrew to choose from here in downtown Denver, that I can't do it justice with a list.
Last night we hit the tap room at the Great Divide Brewery and then had some great Mountain Sun brews at the Vine Street Pub.
I tend to like the wood cask conditioned IPAs. The best beer needs to be pumped out of a keg by hand. The bar tenders hate when I order growlers of cask conditioned to go though. That is a lot of pumping.

true dat. but, i've had some of the best conversations over a pint at the bar, and i've picked up weird tidbits of information from people i would never have drinking in my living room. it that respect, it's worth the price... once in a while.

OK, I see you're in NY too. If we're only going to drink a pint, I'll converse with you. Only if you buy the first round though lol.
