Actually, they would drain that thing dry, free beer is every Mason's favorite.

Surprisingly enough... Rolling Rock

Ummm...the best I've ever had is a twice brewed lager...bringing the percentage up to 7.5 or 8...with a nice finishing hop...

Home brew of course...I would brew a batch for seven days...then add some more hops and malt...brew for another seven days...add a finishing hop...strain...filter and add bottling sugar...then bottle...

It was so darn good that I was approached by a major brewing company about starting a microbrewery...with their full backing...

I'd no doubt be a drunk if I had...

Salted Caramel Stout - Southern Tier Brewing
Double Chocolate Stout - Rogue Brewing
Bomb! - Prairie Artisan Ales

I recall a family member losing a lot of weight after an operation and the doctor actually advised them to have one or two Stouts in the evenings to augment the diet - also very rich in B vitamins apparently.

They also advised it for TB patients and other wasting conditions.

Medicinal, but for me me it suddenly kicks like a rodeo bull (although it's not American).

I use it with caution.

The last one I had, only to be beaten by the next one

One of my favorite related movie scenes must be Starship Troopers.

We're invading a planet of giant insects that hack soldiers into pieces, and they can swarm at any moment.

Let's roll out a few kegs and get wasted.

Classic thinking.

Best tasting beer I've ever had = Treehouse Haze Double IPA. It's friggin' delicious.

Most refreshing on a hot day = Cold and Free.

Root Beer

I dont always drink beer, but when i do, Mexico does it better.

Dos Equis lager or Corona with lime with nachos smothered in Valentina sauce is almost better than bacon, a very close second.

Weihenstephaner Dunkel Hefeweiss

Guinness

The only beer I really buy these days is Coopers Sparkling Ale, unless my brothers drinking it, since he hates it... lol.

Its an acquired taste, I suppose. But I love it and all the other popular Aussie beers (think Budweiser but generally more bitter) just taste watered down to me now.

They leave a little yeast in the brew to give it a distinct taste. So you have to roll the beer before you open it to get the full flavour, which in my opinion is a very mild Vegemite taste... its an absolutely beautiful and refreshing brew to crack open after a hard days work, imo.

Its 5.8%, which means its expensive in Australia because of the alcohol tax. Its basically just one big ankle grab buying beer that's over 5% here. But what are ya gonna do? If you want it you have to pay what it costs... whether its blatant extortion or not.

Anyway... I've read around on forums that its actually available (or at least has been) in the US and UK, reasonably priced too.

Mmm ... a beer fountain in the gym.

After 17:00 why not?

I would put up a sign though: "DON"T DRINK AND TREADMILL!"

At least over number 7.5 (treadmill speed).

Especially not while texting and fumbling with your earphones simultaneously.

Cycling - OK, you can't cycle into much when you're stationary.

For weights: I think it could be a motivator.
Just don't drop them.
Everybody probably will by 20:00 anyway, so you won't draw attention.

I don't remember the name, but a beer I had in a bar or restaurant in Brussels more than ten years ago.
I think it was either a national or local beer that I probably have never seen anywhere else, but it was so smooth and refreshing it went down like heaven.
But besides that, most cold ones had on a hot summers day after work, or just plain lazing in the sun can be regarded as mana from heaven

Great Lakes Brewing Co. Christmas Ale. To me there is none better. Haven't had it in two years since I moved from Cleveland to SW Florida.

Firestone Walker Stickee Monkee! Changed my life!

Kinsale wheat beer - mmmmm.

There's 4 kinds of beer: hot, cold, yours, and mine.

The best kind are yours and cold.

Danish Christmas Beer - Carlsberg Tuborg Julebryg in Copenhagen, December 1999.
