Just as the best inventions come from necessity, so the best beers  
are to be found when you really need them.

Hiking a "fourteener" early in the morning, coming down off the peak  
at 2 or 3 PM, then driving into Boulder CO and downing 1 or more  
liters of locally brewed Hefeweizen (after the shared Grolsch at the  
peak) at Oasis Brewery (since closed it seems) helps you appreciate  
all them there B vitamins and other goodies.

Actually the only way I ever find myself drinking alcohol of any sort  
and really appreciating it is after heavy physical exertion or  
labor.  The nutrients help me feel better and the muscle pain is  
lessened.
