Favorite beer to drink while on the mountain.

[Bostonian]

No I am not talking about drinking and skiing at the same time. But nothing gets me more stoked about skiing then the apres ski afterwards (or mid day also!) To me, there is no other beer to drink in the northeast other then Longtrail...

I know in the past I have always made it a pilgrimage to ski the last day at K-Mart (when the operated late into May) and to hit up the brewery after a good day of spring corn...

to me... Longtrail = ski season!

Can't argue with you too much, but when in NH, Tucks and the Headwall Alt ain't bad either.

i like the Single Chair Ale at MRG after a day tele skiing...

At Hunter - I'll drink Saranacs on tap...

 

[Greg]

Any IPA will do.

 

[snoseek]

While skiing any kind of cheap light beer in a can. After it's either an IPA or coctail.

I've been in a heffeweissen rut for a couple o' years. I've been buying Franziskaner. Long Trail ale has too much bitter hop bite for me. At the brewery, I drink their heffe and occasionally their Belgian white.

Magic Hat #9..reminds me of college which reminds me of skiing..

Probably my favorite would have to be Sam White Ale. I love the flavor, and since it's not usually available until late Feb/Early March, I know that when I get to start drinking it that my favorite time of the ski season, spring skiing, is just around the corner.

people shouldnt drink. its not good for you and it makes you act like a fool.

Crisp and clean, mostly pilsners, otherwise PBR and Stella works, Sam puts out some fine beer as well.

Sam puts out some fine beer as well.

The lager and the ale are my two main staples.

 

[Sparky]

A free one...or two..or...

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

On gaper day when I like to get real drunk..usually canned beer because it fits best in my pack..

 

[eastcoastpowderhound]

Harpoon IPA is my running favorite....just had a six of Sierra Nevada's Anniversary Ale, that's a real nice american ale.

 

[snowmonster]

Stone cold sober on the mountain. But after:

Long Trail
Tuckerman Pale Ale or Headwall Alt
Sam Adams
Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA (when available)

 

[ctenidae]

Something malty without too much hops.

 

[djspookman]

Trout River-Rainbow Red
Rock Art-Ridgerunner
Long Trail-Double Bag

yum! I miss N. VT. No good beer in S. NH.....

 

[Grassi21]

Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA (when available)

Don't drink too many of those after skiing. You might end up in the hot tub with andyzee. Those 90 mins pack a punch.

I like to mix up the beers apres. Although I find myself doing IPAs in the warmer months and dark beers in the winter (Guinness, Saranac Black Forest, any oatmeal stout).

 

[hardline]

in winter i dont drink till the end of the day but in spring. i will take a few runs have a beer. rinse and repeat. during the day i like to keep it on the light side so i stick with corrona. after i drink whatever they have on tap that stikes me. after after its burbon.
