Sorry to disappoint, Terry K, but I just like the flavor of the darker beers, generally the stouter the better. But I also like to sample other stuff at whatever brew pub I happen to visit. I just did a half-century bike ride a couple of weeks ago and had my best time ever. I credit this to my training regimen, which was fiendishly simple: I drank a lot of beer for three nights in a row before the ride and stayed up dancing until the clubs closed. Before, I had followed the recommended regimen and avoided alcohol, ate pasta and got a good night's sleep before the ride. I much prefer the beer/dancing regimen. I might try smoking a lot of cigarettes before the next ride, just to see how far this technique can go...

Anyone here ever tried Chimay ale? Mmmmm.

Is Fat Tire a local beer here in the Mountain states? I think it's dependably good.
