Last year after the Tour my brother and I did a blind tasting of IPA.
I took photos and copious notes.

Number One was Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale.
Anderson Valley's and Goose Island's were rated pretty high too.

I memorilized it here in photos:

Some day I'd like to invite Chris McReynolds and Kyle Legate
over for a taste-off. For sure and no kidding.
Kunich could come too.

Sierra Nevada was a sponsor of our team back in 2001
and last year Sierra Nevada began sponsoring a small semi-pro
cycling team.

Seems like I recall from The Beer Hunter TV series that AH used the
name Budweiser before the Czech folks did.

Lance and I are pretty fond of Shiner Bock. I saw a lot of it on
Brasstown Bald.

Brewed in the town of Ceske Budejovice (a centre of Czech beer manufacture
for 700 years known as Budweis in Germany) the brewery became producers of
the imperial beer in the mid 1500s rightly establishing its reputation as
one of Europe’s highest quality beers. Four and a half centuries on and
little has changed with the Budweiser Budvar brewery still using the same
clear water from the town’s 300m deep artesian well. A tour of the brewery
lasts around 1 hour and is a fascinating insight into the history and
science behind the Czech Republic’s favourite national pastime.

I thought it was a shameless plug for your retail business reprinting the
Little Red Book...

Some notables missing: Squatters IPA (Jen made a real winner)
Dogwood Breakdown
Uinta (half the alcohol, but all the taste)

We had to limit ourselves -- after 10 IPAs your taste buds start
to go. Even Canadians like Kyle or Aussies like Jeff are affected
by that much beer, I hope.

The "STP" photos are of my younger brother. I shave my head (mostly
because it's better for training and less mess afterwards and definitely
cooler).

Ever the risk of overhopping the gullet...

While people slept, beer was touted as the recovery drink of choice on
the prerace show.

hey glenn, I'm a Dowdy in fc too Just moved late last year. I
usually bike up to the resevoir and rarely in horsetooth mountain,
lions, or the one adjacent to it. I must either have a **** bike or
just be weak because I can not make it up the mountain/hills in some
places. Most everyone else scales it without stopping 15% humidity
is nice, however
