Re: Drinking on a Peak: What it Takes
Coors light or coors banquet should be a automatic fail. Only young college kids with no craft beer experience drink that. It's also a tourist beer for tourists who want to "taste Colorado". It's little better than piss in a can. If I was lost in the Sahara desert with no water I would still not drink a Coors.

I don’t think it counts if you’re under 0.08.

Re: Drinking on a Peak: What it Takes
Funny; Back in the days of yore, Coors was not available east of KC. Knuckleheads would then drive through the featureless hell-hole (Kansas) to get it from Colorado and then return with their "bounty". Strange how perceptions change.
The Coors brewery used to have what was called by locals "The Short Tour"; straight to the bar where you could drink pretty much as much as didn't make you stupid, if drinking Coors didn't qualify.
The even made a movie about running Coors beer illegally:

Re: Drinking on a Peak: What it Takes
Coors Banquet is my post workout and backcountry peak beer, has been for years. 5% ABV goes down well. And yes, I was a participant in the early micro brew pig roasts in North Boulder with Charlie Papazian in the very early 80's with many of the future Colorado beer magnates, have drunk great beers around the world, German, Czech, English, French, Latin American, Mexican, Japanese, Philippine, many others ... and been drinking beers since I was introduced by my uncle at age twelve to the old Miller High Life beers in the beautiful bottles. In turn, I have introduced my own nephew to great beers, he's developed a fine palate and has always drunk Banquet with me post hike, never complained, always enjoyed. Had an Ecliptic Starburst IPA from Oregon on Saturday's maskless friend's get together. Will be drinking more of the Oregon beers when I shortly return to the Rogue River Valley. Good stuff. Drink what makes you happy!

I'll drink anything from Keystone Light to Budweiser to Sierra Nevada to Pliny The Elder to Sam Adams Utopias.
I like beer.
My favorite personally is Deschutes Mirror Pond Pale Ale but if I had to choose any from the category of mass market American Lager I'd put Coors Banquet over Miller or Bud.

Re: Drinking on a Peak: What it Takes
I've done summit beers twice. My first 14er was Elbert and Corona had a pretty good ad campaign going and we tried to duplicate it. We pretty much took a sip, dumped the beer, and hiked out. Then two years ago, now that I'm a craft beer kind of a guy, I took a good one with me (pictured below). If you've heard of Tree House Brewing, then you know they make great stuff. Me and Julius enjoyed the summit alone for 20 minutes after having had the whole west ridge route to ourselves all day. I had another beer waiting for me in the creek close to the car for when I finished. Neither were great since they weren't as cold as I typically like.

Re: Drinking on a Peak: What it Takes
Not much to discuss. It just means someone needs to take some acetone and a scrub brush up. (Or just remove the rock from the summit area, turn it face down and put some rocks over it.)highpilgrim wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 5:55 am 6A3FC92C-A45F-43DD-AB00-0B8340E75264.jpeg
This will make for an interesting day.

If it's still there in a couple months, I'll have a couple friends take care of it.

Re: Drinking on a Peak: What it Takes
Are we sure it isn't a photoshopped summit rock? I can't imagine that anyone dumb enough to sharpie a rock would be capable of spelling Tabeguache correctly.RyGuy wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 8:22 amNot much to discuss.
