Beer or ice cream?

Oh GEO, are all canucks so sappy. Good answer though, if your wife reads this group. Beer, beer, and more beer. That's the Adirondack Way.

Ben and Jerry's Chubby Hubby washed down with draft Guinness! If no B&J's available, chocolate chip cookies with the beer will do.

Joe- you are as fast at jumping to an erroneous conclusion as you are fast in the pool. I am on record (ad nauseum to most) as being an enthusiastic proponent of beer, just as long as it is not that wussified, lower-than-swill yankee beer that you undoubtably guzzle after scorching the pool.

I almost always drink beer after swimming. Ice cream not as much, but still a fair amount. Beer is the perfect carbohydrate delivery system in my opinion.

Carbs in beer Beer, regular (12 fl oz) 13g Beer, light (12 fl oz) 4.5g Carbs in Coca Cola 330ml/12 fl oz can, regular Carbs: 36g

First Congrats to Dobbie on the Cascading chowder, I havent seen someone do that since my college days at the Univeristy of Maine at Orono, 1981 which was probably the last time I did one. no one ever believes me when I describe it so I am down loading the picture. Ice Cream over beer any day. Anything with chocolate, cherries or coconut. And if it is a really hard work out/or successful meet- all three in some fashion!:D

Originally posted by newmastersswimmer another good beer I've recently discovered is called something like "Dead Rogue Guy"...its an Amber Ale.....and it has a picture of a skeleton on the bottle...I think it's a microbrew from the Pacific Northwest somewhere (like Portland perhaps?). Rogue is from Newport, Oregon on the Oregon coast. The beer you mentioned is called Dead Guy. Rogue has many fine beers. Rogue does have a brewpub in Issaquah, WA so anyone coming to short course Nationals next year can stop by and sample a few of their fine products :)

Originally posted by newmastersswimmer p.s. Thanks for the info on Dead Guy Amber Ale Kirk......Have you tried it as well? .......and if so what did you think of it? I like it. I like just about all the Rogue beers, but they tend to be a little expensive. We have many great micros out here that are just as good and usually cheaper so I tend to not buy Rogue beers too much. Not a fan of Mexican beers in general, but Negra Modelo is good on occasion. I like Noche Buena, too, but haven't had it in years. In general I find Corona undrinkable. Those clear bottles make it skunk way too easily. I think some people assume it's supposed to taste like that, hence the lime.

Peter, :) LOL. Here in the Dacks, we enjoy our own Saranac Beer, Adirondack Amber. However, perhaps to your dismay, I am more fond of Quebecoise Biers, such as LaDiable or Fin De Monde. What I keep stocked in the fridge, is Molson Export. 'Yankee' swill is for exactly how the jingle goes "Schaffer is the one beer to have, when your having more than one". How many other LMSCs have a beer in their name?

I have recently discovered a new beer I like called "Blue Moon"....its a wheat beer made in the Belgian wheat style (or so it says on the bottle).....another good beer I've recently discovered is called something like "Dead Rogue Guy"...its an Amber Ale.....and it has a picture of a skeleton on the bottle...I think it's a microbrew from the Pacific Northwest somewhere (like Portland perhaps?). I also like Guiness a lot too.....I will have to try the Guiness Ice cream float someone mentioned on this thread....that sounds pretty good to me. Ben and Jerry's makes pretty good ice cream IMO....Cherry Garcia is a favorite of mine....just like the real Jerry Garcia....very smooth and very refreshing!.....I can't imagine that the Canadians have a better ice cream product than B & J's??....Sorry Peter....but you are always looking through your maple leaf colored glasses I'm afraid...LOL!! How's everything up there these days anyhow? Newmastersswimmer
