It's hot, it's humid, and a cold beverage makes it all better. What's your favorite drink after a hot and humid day of climbing? The question is not what you actually drink, but if you had your choice what would you drink. You non-drinkers are free to post your favorites, but I'm free to gloss over them.

Tsing Tao, Fraoch, Negra Modello, Duvel, in no particular order.

Beers, cold from the little race cooler I carry to the crag or fresh from Annabelle's fridge. Generally something light like a Molsen Canadian or a Dos Esqueeze dark. Then there's Negra Modello, or a nice cold Budwater in the can.

Vodka fruit smoothies with Ketel One.

I have a feeling it's gonna be pitchers of Sweetwater 420 in the Black Cat at Boone this weekend. 8)

An ice cold beer always hits the spot. Amstel light is my preference.

Non climbing drink is an extra dirty martini on the rocks.

Cold beer from the creek in Muir.... OOOPS! No alcoholic beverages allowed in Muir!

Enjoyed a pitcher of some kind of mixed drink (recipe from Artsay) last night.... dunno what it's called.

i like a lukewarm miller high life in the bottle myself.

I am not a drinking man anymore but if I were...a half gallon of the cheapest whisky I could find that has been sitting in the sun all day on a hot summer day so when I drink it I cannot feel the blisters forming in my mouth.

Bourbon and ale-8 on plenty of ice, where the bourbon has been in the freezer for a couple days and the ale-8 is really cold as well.

I forgot one, Flying Horse.

Yeah Horatio, I got no prob with the Champagne of Beer, I prefer mine in a can. I've got beers I'd rather drink, but I've awoken on many occasions to find my head in the warm embrace of the High Life.

Whatever homebrew I have in my beer refrigerator.

I used to make homebrew, mine always tasted like shit. I used the starter kits you can buy at Liquor Barn, etc. barely worth drinking on a Sunday when you have nothing else in the house.

I did learn that regular beer bottles are not good for fermentation as they simply become explosive devices. Yep, better to spring for the thicker returnable bottles., better to spring for the thicker returnable bottles.
