French beer?! What, are you nuts? IIRC there is tolerable French beer, but
play to the Belgians' strengths: beer should be the mandatory spring classics
riders' drink. For the Tour, on a long hot stage, a nice Vouvray or sauvignon
blanc maybe. On nasty cold stages, Calvados in the bidon.

Forget what I said about Gatorade for training
rides in that other thread, I was kidding

Oh I thought you meant **** weak beer.
Dunno how strong it is but the Staropramen Granat I was supping in
Prague in Feb' was great.
Pilsner Urquell,now there's a nice drink.
Sometimes tho' you cannot beat a Guinness or Murphys if you're in Cork.

Some day Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. should think about
sponsoring a bicycle racing team.

mandatory refresher and jean shorts were de rigueur bike shorts)

Q: Why is Budweiser and making love in a canoe similar?

A: Because they're bothing ****ing close to water!

Not since they switched from wood tanks...

No, but a Latter Day Stout, A Czerny Bock from SLC will. Oddly enough,
Guiness' alcohol content is only .27% more than these 4%ers. Go figger...

Ken, laughing at your own joke is going to penalize you 4 pints.

But, see, THIS is a discussion!!! Anyone for Monk's Flemish Sour?

Anyone have the account from the old-timer (Benjo Maso, come in!) who
survived being dropped in the Pyrenees (since that starts tomorrow) by
stopping at bars in the darkness and getting the only liquid he could
find: RUM. Got over a major col that way and made it to the riders'
barracks around midnight, hydrated on booze. He was up the next AM to
continue. This was back in the day when there were a handful of pro's and
the rest of the riders were "talented amateurs" who rode for nothing and
received bunk and mess in return for making the race look bigger.

I had high hopes for Arrogant ******* Ale ("You're not worthy! Hated
by many, loved by few"), but too much hops. Still, I may go for the
bar glasses. Voting again for Beamish - Guinness with character.
