My vote for personal favorite is Weinenstephaner Hefe Weissbier. Made
by the oldest brewery in The galaxy. Since 1040!
Cream filled chocolate covered Krispy Kreme would precede consumption of
the above by at lest a few hours. Less then that, and even Bayliss could
take me in a sprint. On a trike.

Tugboat, Lucky Lab, and Horsebrass how could they let such an abomination
leave the area. I think the "traditional favorite of European bike racers"
is actually a lager with 7-UP. More on topic beer was thought to be a
training aid and performance enhancer 70 years ago. Also if you've seen
Eddy lately you'll notice he's a true Belgium beer lover.
