counterfeitfake Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 If there's no creek handy and your beer has to sit baking in a car until your return- what is your favorite variety? I have found IPAs stand up pretty well, since they have a lot of flavor and aren't too carbonated. Anything cheap and light that would be thirst-quenching when cold (like pbr, coors, etc) just gets nasty when hot. You? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken4ord Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 No porters or stouts if you got to bake them, Rather than leaving them in the car hide them in the woods, they'll taste ice cold compared to leaving them in the oven. PBR is probably first choice great for rehydrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Interesting topic, cfake. Your observation about IPAs has historic significance - when the Brits were sending beer the long distance to their colonies, like India, they found it would eventually spoil and taste bad. They put a lot of hops in it, way more than normal, and found it covered up the spoiled taste. They called it India Pale Ale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couloir Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I agree with Ken on this as far as a cooling strategy. Even on hot days, I have left a sixer of Mirror Pond in a hollowed-out downed tree and it's almost perfect. If there is absolutely no way of doing this, and you had to drink something warm, I say stick to an IPA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couloir Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 While we're on the topic, I used to carry a bottle of wine with me for the bivy. Sometimes a pint of tequila or good scotch, but usually wine. Now they have these 1 litre collapsable "boxes" that have more wine in them than a standard 750 ml bottle and you don't have to carry out a heavy glass container.

counterfeitfake Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 Rather than leaving them in the car hide them in the woods That is a really good plan and probably something I'd do if I was smart or had any foresight at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you want to trim it down, Target has these little single-serving boxes... what a world we live in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj001f Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 get a cooler for your car and leave the beer in the cooler. In winter leave a warmer beer in the cooler when you go skiing and it may not be frozen on your return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Cooler = break in target I have had partners go so far as to dig ten snow piles and leave TP on top of them just so random passerby would not think that there was beer hidden in one. Anyways - cheap sake is often served warm. If you have to leave it in the car, go with sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PickleJuice Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Smirnoff Ice. Sugary goodness is great at any temp. Better yet, S.I. in citrus flavors or Mike's Hard Lemonade... helps restore electrolytes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
