We have to be nice to them, they will be soon the biggest hop growers in the world <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

If you start up too fast you will push your CnH2n+1OH Max to the limit and end up crumpled in a heap like Paula Radcliffe after a three day bender. What you want is a light beer that won’t test your stamina as the miles you are watching pile up.

Why does it have to be low alcohol? I mean its supposed to be a stamina event, with much tooth-gritting and feeling sick but perservering; surely a normaml brew (or even something trappist) would leave you more in sync with how the athletes are feeling. Of course, Kaliber is low alcohol and will proably have the same effect <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> (Note to self - must sample Kaliber, just to validate my bias!)

Regradless, most of these events only take 2 or 3 hours - you'd want to be drinking spirits to get yourself in a hoop in that period of time
