Beer question.

[Trazalca]

I shared this question with Sickness when he came to visit a couple of weeks ago, and I decided to go ahead and ask you guys why this is so?

I bought a case of Smithwicks - bottled. Fine stuff.
A good beer. Not the best, but I enjoyed it nevertheless.
At least, that's what my opinion was after trying my first bottle.

A few days later, I went outside in the Georgia heat, and mowed the lawn.
After a good hour plus, I came back inside all sweaty and muscles throbbing,
and downed a bottle of Smithwicks - and for whatever reason,
IT TASTED LIKE THE BEST BEER I EVER HAD.

A couple of days after that, when I was having pizza for dinner,
I grabbed me another bottle and found it tasted just like the first,
making me conclude the same opinion I had when I tried the first bottle.

Question: How could this be? Why should doing a physical workout make beer taste better?

Anyone have ideas for this?

I can only suggest you seek wisdom from "The Simpsons"; as the great philosopher Homer once suggested,

ALL WORK AND NO BEER MAKE HOMER GO CRAZY!

I expect something similar is at work in this instance. :D

It's not just work. It's ridiculous hot weather, too. On a 95 degree day with 80% humidity, you can grab an ice cold can of High Life, and it tastes like ambrosia. Very similar to the social smoker as well.

And, for the record, I finally tried Smithwick's when I was at Traz's place (thanks again for the hospitality, bro). Decent but not great. However, I did not experience the legendary laxative effects of said beer, thankfully. That automatically gives it a few extra points.

Oh, and we had a blast rockin' it on Turok: Evolution. That will be our tradition, man.

Side note: In an exercise of bad statistics, I think Traz and Lady Traz feed the family chili 365 days a year. I've been there twice a year apart and it was chili both times. :lol:

Alright dude. Next time, it's black bean chicken soup for you,
with tortilla chips, sour cream and Emeril's Gaaahlic medium salsa sauce
on the side, and WINE. :smirks:

My mouth is watering already!

BTW, there's another rafting trip in either August or September and I just may be able to swing it on the end of a trip to Houston. That would put me in your neck of the woods much sooner than a year from now.

The hotter it is, the shittier the beer can be and still be fantastic.
