I must decide which beer I will drink after completing the
Bob Potts Marathon next weekend.
The last 2001 Alaskan Smoked Porter?
My new love -Heavy Seas Siren Noire?
Avery’s Czar Imperial Stout?
Great Divide’s Yeti?
I still haven’t found Sierra Nevada’s Fritz and Ken’s Ale. Also, most of these sport a 8% or higher ABV, so the next item on the agenda after the beer will likely be a nap.
Which will it be?
Ok. This is not scientific at all. In fact, the last time I had an alcoholic beverage was 6 years ago. But my kids have a thing for Yetis so, that is my vote.
Ok, I haven't tried any of these, but they all look dangerously good! I think any choice will be a good choice : )
yeah, there is something about the Yeti that is calling to me. Plus the wrapper is sort of a finisher's medal gold….
The only one of those I have personal experience with is the Yeti, so I'm going to say the Yeti. Mmmmm…beer…
I like Porters so I would go with the Porter.
I think that when you finish a marathon, you get to have them all! Bottoms up.
I am not a stout or porter girl. More like a good wheaty beer is my taste…but, since all the cool kids are saying Yeti, I vote for that, too! The gold wrapper is a little like a gold medal :)Good luck! You're gonna rock!
All of them? That's what I would do 🙂 Go with the last 2001 Alaskan Smoked Porter. It's the last one and a very special occasion!
Bob potts SOUNDS Like a pirate (EEE-ARRRRRRGGG). I vote #2. Heavy Seas Siren Noire
You're running a marathon for petes sake! Why r u only picking 1 beer? I vote #1, #2 and #3! Enjoy!:-P
ou are so freaking awesome. love this.Is there a reason why you have to pick ONE?!?!?
Have them ALL you earned it!!
All of them. But start with the Porter in case your nap starts after the 1st one 🙂
I think Id take them all and dreamabout them during the race. Hopefully I'm dreaming about beer during the run, and not just sitting down!
I vote for the Yeti, it's such a cool name! The Pirate beer is a near second! I'm not a beer drinker but you have to have a little carrot to dangle, right?! A little extra motivation?
I vote for the Yeti beer – I haven't tried any of them, but the gold at the top makes it seem appropriate for a reward. And the word "yeti" is kinda funny, so when you're running thinking about yetis, maybe it will make you smile during your race. Czars aren't funny. Alaska isn't funny. Pirates are funny for 2 minutes, but not for 26 miles.
Too hard to decide. Just do eenie meenie minie mo. 🙂
You are asking the wrong person:) Good luck with that…let me know which one you end up picking. Have a wonderful Mother's Day!
Just got to your blog through RunningLaur – I'm doing Bob Potts next week, too!I'd go for the Pirate beer… it goves you a reason to yell "Argh!" every so often on the course.Hope to see you out there!
I am partial to the Czar. I would wait until 2011 and do the Alaskan for a super special occasion.
I'm late.I started to comment on this post with my blackberry over the weekend. Something didn't work, so I gave up.Anyway, if it were me I would have taken all four because what I crave before and after a run is rarely the same. I'd probably spend a good portion of the run trying to figure out what beer I wanted (hello distraction!) and then celebrate with..my top 2 after. Any more that that after a long run just isn't refreshing on top of all the water/powerade I've had to drink. But that's just me.Cheers!
