Green beer

I may have missed someone posting this because I seem to recall a mention
before but network news just did a nice story on New Belgium and their
conservation/recycling efforts.

The biggest bicycle-related thing I noticed were the chairs in their
brewpub, I think, that were created from used bicycle rims. I thought they
looked pretty cool.

I also read they give townie bikes to all their full time employees.
Pretty cool company and the beer's good too! I think Trippel is my
favorite followed by Abbey and 1554. The rest are good too.

I had a presentation by one of the reps a few weeks ago at work. Great
people! Their plant is very green. They have there own waste treatment
plant which generates energy to run the brewery. Very cool.

I am working with them to sponsor our epic weekend this year in Buffalo
Creek. They bring a green powered (wind and solar) stage and sound
system along with brew. The cups are biodegradable and they recycle
100% of what they bring in. No waste!

They give back a lot to Colorado. Definitely, a company that others
should model after.

They always have kegs at our bike events around here too. Nothing like
racing my guts out (sometimes literally) and then sitting around
drinking beer for a while!

Sounds like a perfect way to spend the weekend actually. 🙂

Do you know if the clip is available on YouTube?

Dear Greg,

I see that green beer is insufficiently aged, half-fermented, and
unhealthful:

Page down past the Postum ad that reveals the evils of the dread
coffee bean and learn how Schlitz beer will let you avoid the
biliousness and headache that accompany green beer.

Cheers,

Carl Fogel

Funny, I was watching a bunch of cops gear up for some kinda GRS ride
this morning before leaving work and saw that they had two large
coolers with them. My guess was Gatorade filled them instead of a
fine product from New Belgium. Funny how most mountain bikers reach
for a beer right after a ride instead of some ghey recovery drink.
Wait, beer is a recovery drink! When I rode through the parking lot
at mach 1 on SLF, there were a lot of dumbfounded looks coming from
those dummies. I guess I didn't have enough gears or a new enough
bike, or something like that.

Ok, I'm awake enough to ride brakeless on he street. Time for a
cappucino and panini. Go ride your friggin' bikes!

1554! It has reignited my taste for beer. My stomach is a little
larger, though.

Really? Interesting.
It /is/ a good brew. Have you tried Trippel? Similarly (yet differently)
delicious. Lighter in color but very flavorful.

Depending on the ride I might do both. If I'm really depleted, a
recovery drink really does help. Then I move on to beer.

Once in college I came home from an all day epic to find a raging party
at my house. I made my self a Cytomax Margarita to get into the swing of
things and get "up to speed".

I think Greg and I are going to ride a dark century here next month.
I've never done a century before, so I figured it would be less lame
if my first one was at night and on a fixed gear.

BTW, the cappucino and panini were excellent. Afterwards I went out
and bought a couple of tubes and then hit the music store and picked
up "The Twelve Dreams of Dr Sardonicus" on CD and have been listening
it while working on getting Carrie's Peugeot mixte running. Great
food, great tunes, and putting the finishing touches on a $10 eBay
score. It's almost beer-30 and time for some carnitas, followed by
Stone Oaked [censored].

Weirdo footnote, on the way back fom the music store, there is one of
those permanent radar things on a nice flat section in a 25 mph zone.
I made it hit 30 without really getting low and as fast as that SLF
can get cranked up.

I was a Guinness fan, so I tend to venture towards the darker beers.
I'll give it a try i I can ind some around here this weekend. I
currently live in the slummier area o Denver, so aside from the Target,
I can't find a liquor store without colt 45 and meth addicts as the
default. But, good news today. I had an offer which I accepted on the
house in NJ, and my house in Golden will be done in two months. Finally!

There are much better stouts than Guinness, Like Samuel Smith's
Oatmeal Stout and their Russian Imperial Stout. Right now Stone has
an Imperial that is majorly kick ass.

I agree about Samuel Smiths. I love everything they brew!

Mitch, if you prefer dark beers (is it because they look more like
Coke?) then another great New Belgium beer to try is Abbey.

I try and cover all the shades of beer, just to be fair.
