We all know it's PBR, right? I mean, that's pretty much the universally accepted beer for beer mile and 100 in 100 attempts. |

PBR? Man, I hope not. I do realize that many of you are poor college people, but my mainstay is always Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I can see that NOT being the Letsrun official beer though, but with the Sierra Nevadas there is elevation, so I'll make that pitch. |

I would think Stone's flagship, 'A r r o g a n t B a s t a r d' universally describes the letsrun attitude. |

Sierra Nevada is nice, but I'd nominate any of the following New Belgium Fat Tire or 1554 Snake River OB-1 (absolutely my all time favorite) Yellowstone Valley Brewing Renegade Red or Black Widow Stout (both are consistently at the top of tasters choice competitions regionally) |

If it was a regular, not special edition, the Sam Adams 26.2 would have been a good choice. |

I love me some PBR, but I'm pretty sure it's ineligible for the beer mile due to low ABV. |

No PBR. If LRC is looking for a sponsor, then it has to be a mainstream like: Coors Light, Bud Light, Miller Light, etc. Please none of those...Yuck! Sam Adams is an improvement, Sierra Nevada Pale is a huge improvement. Longhammer from RedHook (which has a distribution contract with Bud) would be a deeper pocket. Id like to see Firestone Union Jack IPA. I love that stuff. A bit high on the ABV at 7.5%, but very nice flavor. |

I drink more than my fair share of Fat Tire as it is carried by my local Sports Bar hangout. I would vote for it. I agree though that Arrogant B*stard might best reflect the posters of Letsrun AND it is a good beer. To the dude that mentioned 26.2. Did you get to try that? How was it? I was hoping they were going to distribute but never saw any here in the Midwest. haha, the filter won't let me type B*stard. |

It didn't make it out of Boston as far as I know. I'm outside Philly and I didn't see it around here. |

Might I humbly suggest Yeungling? It's just as cheap as Bud, Miller, etc., but much better. A good working class beer. |

There are a number of possible choices, here. Basically any beer that pretends to be better than it is would be a good official beer. Blue Moon might be a good choice. A cheap macro that pretends to be a quality Belgian Wheat. People who don't know much about beer think it's great. Anyone with some experience knows that there are about a hundred beers in the same category that are much better. |

So many better microbrews in Colorado in my opinion. Fat Tire is certainly not a bad beer, but I've always thought it was overrated. I much prefer New Belgium's Ranger IPA, but I also like hoppy beers more than ambers. Odell's, another Fort Collins brewery, puts out some outstanding brews. I'm also a big fan of Ska's beers out of Durango. Fortunately, it's a great time to enjoy good beer in the U.S. In terms of a Letsrun beer, Eugene City Brewery used to have some track-themed beers before Rogue took it over. Perhaps Rogue kept some of those beers? |

I think we have a winner. Nice job! |

Yeah, I know. The filter is such a Bastard. |

Eugene City does still make 100m and 200m ales. I think they might be seasonals, because I see the 200m ale about once a year in Colorado. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/11835 |
