A good hard ride, a quick swim, a good dinner washed down with a Sierra
Nevada Porter, Wheat, or even a Stout. How can life get better than

that?

Canadian breakfast is something to look forward to. But beer? Yuck!

Well Moosehead and Molson are mass market beers, much like U.S.A.'s Bud and
Miller. In that respect, they are the same I suppose.

I suggest slightly smaller brewery for Canadian beers, like Sleeman or
Brick. It seems the smaller the brewery, the better the beer (in Canaduh
and the US?). You certainly wouldn't compare a quality beer (like those of
Sierra Nevada) to Bud? That's like putting a CAT4 rider in the TdF?

I was about to follow-up but you said it so much more tactfully and
with better analogies than I could have.

I always say that Moosehead, Molson, and the lot are Canada's
Bud/Miller/Coors equivalents as are Heineken/Beck's/St.Pauli
Girl/Stella Artois of central Europe.

To further that, I'd like to try more good american beers up here. I've
heard that Yuengling <sorry if I spelt it incorrectly> has some great beers.
It seems we mostly get the crappy ones (mentioned above) and we send you our
crappy brands too. There must be some sort of crappy beer exchange program
going on. Oh well, more beer tours to the USA. Hey, now that's an idea!

Anyone know of an outfit that offers cycling tours through Craft brewery
companies?

Yuengling is OK, and my choice for tailgating, but not in any way a
top brewery when it comes to taste. We have a lot of microbreweries
that pretty much cover the spectrum of beers, porters and ales now. My
personal opinion is that U.S. microbreweries tend to put too much hops
in the darker stuff, but there are plenty of low hops stuff to choose
from as well.

My greatest irritation with Yuengling is that they are one of the
culprits that misuse the name 'black and tan' to refer to a dubious
mixture somewhere darker than a golden ale. You'd think they could
come up with an original name instead.

If you're in Ontario, Wellington County's Iron Duke is my favourite beer.
Give it a shot if you like English Ale.

Ditto.
Yuengling is a good beer but I can easily point you to 100 other
brewering that are much better. Yuengling is a definite step up from
mass-produced *swill as it's "real" beer.

*Swill being: Beck's, Bud, Moosehead, Fosters, Corona, Stella
Artois... you get the picture.

Many NorCal top-quality brewers have put their money into racing
teams, just a few I'll list for now:

- Sierra Nevada (Chico)
- Broken Drum (San Rafael)
- 3rd St. Ale Works (Santa Rosa)
- Anchor (S.F.)
- Bear Republic (Healdsburg)

For that reason Yuengling is a major misinformer -- pretty sad.

Weird that they should paint the flag sideways, now it looks just like
the German flag (but yellow and red switched).

I hadn't thought of that problem, bu I think it's just tradition.
That's what the Belgian jerseys looked like when they were sewn
together from pieces of wool years ago.

But weren't that bands going all around, like the world champs jersey?

idd, that's the reason

that's a part of the retro-look of the jersey. :-)

automatically selected for the Olympics or the worlds)
