Totally different thread here.
I don't drink my favorite beers on a summit.

That would be a very cold American domestic lite.

Re: The Best Summit Beer
The best summit beer
is the beer you make yourself
unless you suck at making beer.
*edited with more line breaks in tribute to bonehead.
Btw, agree that best summit beers aren't necessarily your all time faves.

Re: The Best Summit Beer
I have been a home brewer for 35+ years,
with over 100 recipes in my log book.
I did not start that log until after the first few dozen attempts.
I repeat many.
Mexican light to Imperial Stout.
Everything in between.
I do not suck at making beer!
But they are not suitable as summit beers.
Edit
I appreciate the line breaks.
Makes it simple to read
for a simpleton
like me.

Hey, good idea, letourneau. Think I'd rather read about mountains than beverages anyway.letourneau41 wrote:Then don't click on the thread........
Or, maybe I'll start a really original thread like 14ers and Dogs. Or, Is it Legal to Summit Bross! (thanks, Dick)

Because it's like reading Shakespeare
Or like napping on a summit, weak and weary
Waiting for the raven to appear.

Re: The Best Summit Beer
The best summit beer is the one (or more) you drink after your climb, with a friend or partner who has made a great day up high an awesome day by sharing the climb and the summit with you. Now THATS a fine beer! Cheers!
"In this high country that we love, trails are steep. We climb each mile, breath by breath, and at the threshold of pain, bliss overtakes us."
"It's called CRAZY. And somehow, when you are bent over your poles, staring at your boots- heart heaving and trying not to cough your lung onto a rock= you look up...and you are looking down over all those beautiful mountains....and you wouldn't want to be anywhere else."
"For all the richness of normal, everyday life, it is good sometimes to trespass high in the sky, and live with uncommon intensity, experiencing something that gets close to the sublime."
