EagleMan Ironman 70.3 Triathlon : Official Thread (Page 8)

I would agree the October Fest is a good drop as are the other season selections. They sometimes at Thks Giving her in CT have a seasonal pack. Includuding Cranbury Lambic a Capucino beer....andd many other hmmmm think I am going to go home tonight and have a couple. Not sure if you have tried Magic Hat? a bunch of hippies make it in Vermont nice beer as well!!!

gordon biersch marzen can now be found at harris teeter.  nom nom.  think i will treat myself right now.

cj, let's do this tent thing.  i know reston trirats said they are having one and there are a lot of bters in rats.  maybe we can put the bt one next door or something.  ...and i agree, we do need a pic, because i am getting tired of seeing the same folks on the banner

Let me just say you have exceptional taste in beer for an American...add some Sam Adams Summer Ale and some Stella and I would say first rate selection that!!!

Sam Adams Summer blows.  It is by far the worst of the seasonal selections (with the Oktoberfest being the best).

And Killians and Molsen???  C'mon ..... not even on a list of decent beers!!

Bass, Guinness, Sam Oktober/Winter, Fat Tire Amber, etc. are good beers.

If I had the option Oktober would have been #2 but out of season, love Fat Tire Amber as well....Guinness not so much. Molsen Canadian is a much much different beer than anything else Molsen sells. Killians....yum. If you can find SA O bring it to Eagleman!

I used to live in Canada... it's a good beer, but I had too much of it as a kid

No mention of Newcastle Brown or Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout. Yum!!

Finally a topic that I consider myself a certified professional on....

A few of my favorites (not in any particular order):

1. Imperial Beer - La Cerveza de Costa Rica
2. Paulaner Salvator - Doppelbock
3. Lindemans - Framboise
4. Dos Equis - La Cerveza de Mexico
5. Hoegaarden Original White Ale

Just a few of the ones you'll find in my bar fridge.  One good thing about Philly is that we have a killer place to go out and get good eats and try all kinds of great beers:

In a former life I swore by Killians, Fosters, and Sam Adams Cream Stout.  No wonder I keep blowing up on my HIM's.  I should've been drinking some good stuff instead of crap beer

Daremo - 2009-05-21 11:49 AM Nah, Morimoto's is there ...... best dining experience we've had to date in our lives ......... but it did cost me over $600.

I have been to Morimoto a few times.  We went a lot when it first opened up.  Good eats for sure.  Way too pricy though.  But worth the experience.  Monks is surely one of the good things about Philly.  However, Philly has one of the hottest restaurant scenes in any major city.  There are so many other fantastic restaurants it's hard to even come close to hitting them all. 

If you ever come up this way again check out Sagami in Collingswood NJ.  They actually just got a much better review than Morimoto and you can walk out of there for under $80 tip included.  My wife and I eat there pretty almost every Friday. 

eyeofthetiger2007 - 2009-05-21 5:19 PM As a college student I know which beers are absolutely horrible: 1) Natural "Natie" light 2) Keystone (both regular and Light) 3) Coors light 4) Miller Light (notice a trend?) As far as good beers, its all up to personal taste and how much you are willing to dish out. Polygamy Porter based out of St. Lake City is my roommates favorite. As the bottle says: Why just have one? (no joke that is there motto). However, Men's Health said that Guinness is the healthiest beer. Personally, I would take a Diet Coke any day. With regards to being able to swim. I believe you can but am not totally sure.

BUT, since we are on a MD race thread, I do feel the need to say that there isn't anything better than a $1 Nattie Lite with a pile of steamed crabs!  mmm mmm, it's like a fine wine then.

Oh no, for the love of god!  You had to go and do it! Now that you mentioned CRABS I am going to have to get a bushel this weekend.  I hate when this sort of thing happens.  Last week it was all-u-can-eat at the bar this weekend I'm doing it in the luxury of my back yard....  Nothing better than waking up the then following day with the smell of crab and old bay under your finger nails.... 

After the race, we are going to spend a week on OC.  Living in Texas for the past 3.5 years, I cannot wait for crabs.  May get me to the finish line faster

HAHAHAHA Good stuff...

Just got some butterflies in the belly looking at that
