Time for another Beer Thread
 

Unlike Motor Oil Beer threads usually go over pretty well. I need a bit of help here...
( Not really, but people like to give their opinions so I am just providing an opportunity for that sort of thing)


My wife told me I should remodel the garage and turn it into a "Man Cave" After seeing the garage of a fellow KTM 690 Enduro R owner over at ADV Rider. So this winter I will be "Painting the Roadkill" and turning my cluttered space into something a bit more organized.

Here is the pic that motivated me..... The garage of a fellow inmate over at ADV.

So back to the Beer question..... What kind of beer should I keep in my shop beer fridge.....?











.

Just to get things rolling...

And saving the best for last, As explained by Cliff Clavin,
of Cheers...
One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the
Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm. Here's how it went:
"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this...
A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest
buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest
and weakest ones at the back that are killed first.
This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole,
because the general speed and health of the whole group
keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest
members. "In much the same way, the human brain can only
operate as fast as the slowest brain cells.
Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells.
But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain
cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer
eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain
a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you
always feel smarter after a few beers."

Guinness, Asahi, Dos Equis, and Coors Light (yeah, I went there!). LOL!

P.S.--That, my friend, is one BAD A*S GARAGE!! I am ashamed at my cluttered bike lair...

Ok, final edit: I just figured out that the garage pictured is so striking because it is so CLEAN. MIne will have a few more "things" in it, but it has motivated me to get my mess organized! Oh, and the treadmill and fridge are tres-cool.

Remember we pitched in and got Shannon the Beer of the Month Club membership? You could try that for fun. Other than that, lemme know if you want some man cave suggestions. I can't think of anything right now, but I'd like to get started on that.

Yes... When I saw it I figured it would be a good one for inspiration to get my mess cleaned up...

Dos Equis... :)

- Police often question him, just because they find him interesting.

His beard alone has experienced more than a lesser mans body.

His blood smells like cologne.

He has amassed an amazingly large DVD collection, and has never once alphabetised it.

If he were to mail a letter without postage, it would still get there.

The pheromones he secretes effect people miles away… in a slight, but measurable way.

He once punched a magician. That’s right, you heard me.

His hands feel like rich, brown swede.

He lived in the hills of the Serengeti for a summer after being gifted a wife by a local tribes men.

He owns 4 sports cars, and rents 5.

He taught a horse to read his email for him.

He almost broke the land speed record in 1977, popular opinion among his team was that is beard caused to much wind resistance. He would have shaved it… No, no he wouldn’t have.

He was the featured man at a bachelorette auction he brought in over 13 million euro, under the table.

His personality is so magnetic, he is unable to carry credit cards.

Even his enemy’s list him as their emergency contact.

He never say’s anything taste like chicken… Not even chicken.

He speeks fluent French, in Russian.

His charm is so contagious, vaccines we’re created for it.

Years ago, he created a city out of blocks. Today over 600,000 people live and work there.


He is the only person to ever ace a Rorschach Test.

Every time he goes for a swim. Dolphins appear.

Alien abductors have asked him, to probe them.

If he we’re to give you directions… You would never get lost. And you’d arive at least 5 minutes early.

His legend precedes him, the way lightning precedes thunder.

His reputation is expanding, faster then the universe.

He once had an akward moment, just to see how it feels.

He lives vicariously through himself.

Let's ask Billy Currington

"I'm not the type to work in a bank
I'm no good at slappin on things
Don't have a knack for makin motors crank, no
But I'm pretty good at drinkin beer"

Heineken of course. Oh to live in the Netherlands where you can get it on draft fresh from the beer nectar machine.

This pic reminded me I need to get more stickers for my water heater, except the one in this house is under the house so....nevermind. And....I wonder where he parks when he brings the KTM fresh off the trail. Surely not in there!

A good selection of micro brews, some malty, some hoppy, toss a few lites in for those who don't really drink beer, but want to act sociable.

Maybe a Belgian Geuze, and a barley wine for those special "sipping" days.

We live in a good time for people that appreciate good beer.

Got to start would be a couple of good Oktoberfest varieties, as it is the season, and I LOVE the Marzens.

Warsteiner if you are working on German bikes.:D After the 4th beer anything will do.

My daughter brought me back some beer from her summer vacation in AK, that is color coordinated..... Did you know that KTM tool Kits have a beer opener included??? :)

Now THERE is a useful piece of information. No kidding. I've been thinking of a G450X but this may change that. :D

billy, you need this, its a fork stem cap that hold the bottle cap of your favorite beer! http://store.ninerbikes.com/Components/YAWYD-Top-Cap/YAWYD-Top-Cap-Item

In AR, you have to ask?

Since Bubba brought up German Beer, well, if I had the deposit for every bottle of this I emptied, I could probably stop working today. But it is hard to find over here.

Thats an easy one.... Steinlager and Sierra Nevada

Sweet... I can spin up one of those on my lathe...

What kind of beer should you keep in your fridge?

There is only one very simple answer to that question.......

The answer is.............COLD BEER!

Unless you live in Britain.

Cheers

Hey Shreddr;

Does that match with your beer cap rearview mirror?

I do like that idea.

Cheers

If you would live here, you wouldn't drink heineken, but a good beer. It is considered horse piss by most Dutch. ;)

By most Americans too.


Best beer I have had was some Czech beer my oldest daughter brought me back from Czech Republic.... She was 17 at the time, had it in her backpack when she flew home... :)

http://www.bswartz.net/images/forums/beer.jpg

Sorry ladies but what the Dutch think or what Bill believes most Americans think, matters not at all to me. I've lived all over the world and rather than bring in some esoteric mystery brand into this competitive sharing contest, I mentioned what I like. And it's greenies.....Heinekens. All the rest are certainly not horse piss, but inferior.

I thought this was an opinion thread. No?
