Ahhhhh, taper time...and frosty amber nectar

It's my first day of taper and I'm changing my diet to include more liquids...


Nearly 160 years after it was first brewed, Schlitz -- "The Beer That Made Milwaukee Famous" -- is making a comeback. Working from notes and interviews with old brew masters, Pabst Brewing Co., the brand's current owner, has recreated the classic beer's old formula.


Good news like this just makes life seem a little bit sweeter.
Pace yourself and enjoy in moderation.

Interesting!! Pabst recently purchased Primo beer here in Hawaii and is going back to the original recipe. Our lab has to test the beer weekly. My job is tough :)

Isn't that where Laverne and Shrley used to work? How cool! Thankyou for reminding us of the importance of an appropriate hydration strategy :)

I will get excited when Falstaff beer makes a comeback.

Enjoy the taper!! Kick back relax, try not to go into taper madness like it typically causes. And get READY for the race.

Hopefully all the hydration is sorted out so you can kick some butt.
