Chill
By Dan • Jul 9th, 2008 • Category: Dan's Training Log
I got up today and hit the 30 foot pool for 1000 yards. Yes that is a lot of laps. After that I poured a cup of joe and sat in a nice raft and watched the Tour DAY France (as Bob Roll would put it.) To top that I broke out Lola and headed out for a ride.
The first ten miles were beautiful. The a down-pour. I stopped at a abandon gas station and caught up on some Hardy Breed email. The rain let up, but a minute after I left, another downpour… I road through it. I had just gotten out of the pool not long ago, so what did it matter if I was wet.
I hit a few patched of dry land, but no more than a mile. The rain started in again. And before I knew it I was back. Just under 25 miles and soaking wet!
And if the day could not get any better. The family headed out with my dad on his boat. For some reason Boating = Drinking. I don’t want to sound like a wuss (I have paid my dues…. Crazy 8’s) but I had a few of those new Miller Chills.
Lets just say they go down like water, and are refeshing as a morning spring.
(Ok you can make fun of me now….)
The Budweiser version of the Miller Chill is much better and I hate Bud.
I DEFINATELY agree that Bud Lite Lime is better, and me and my girlfriend hate Bud products. It appears we have found our new summer beer.
I agree! I worked for Budweiser for 5 1/2 years, and I don’t even like beer. I know, it’s sacreligious! But the new Bud Light Lime IS great! Better than Miller! Great on a boat, with a goat . . . !
Try the Leinenkugels Summer Shandy-
I am a fan of Miller Brewing but Bud is the winner. I don’t like Bud because I get the most hellacious hangovers from it. The sad part of that is that I got the hangover but didn’t drink enough to get drunk, or a buzz. Two or three Budweisers kill me. What fun is it to be responsible and still end up with a hangover?
I’m not a fan of “flavored” beer. Don’t get me wrong, I drank my share of Zima with grenadine back in the day.
Don’t get me wrong… All the seasonal beers from Goose Island, Leinenkugel, Sam Adams, etc. are all AWESOME. That was all we drank before we found this. For $10 bucks a case, you can’t go wrong with this. And I thought I was the only one that Budweiser affected like that.
Your were a Zima man?????? ok–well I thought it was cool too–I saw they had some at Friar Tucks—ahhhh the good ole days. Sounds like something Doering would drink!
Ohhhh, it wasn’t just Zima, but PINK Zima!
I used to date a girl who would by a six-pack of Zima and a bag of Jolly Ranchers and drink the Zima with a Jolly Rancher in her mouth. It was actually pretty good.
I think Zima was cutting edge. It was the pre-cursor to all the alco-pops, Bacardi breezers, etc. I do remember the Jolly Rancher thing. The problem with ZIma (for me) was that it was marketed as malt liquor. I couldn’t justify drinking Old English 800 then a Zima. I felt like a poser (maybe I still am?).
I used to drink the Mickeys–NASTY
yes …josh i think i only have 2-3 left from the last 12 pack the store had of the summer shandy.. have you ever tried the holiday spice from them this past winter?
Any BEER that is Icy Cold and FREE is awesome in the summer. BTW, I am a Miller man, but Bud Lime is definitely better than the Chill.
Are yo kidding me? Zima? Flavored beer? Are you guys gay? The only one that’s talking any sense at all here is Doogie … if it’s malt liquor it should be Old English or Colt 45 … and it should be in a 40 oz. bottle … and it should be in a brown paper bag. I guess you could drink Zima in a paper bag but I think that would make you a closet homosexual. And, its not beer unless it’s any Belgian ale or Stag.
Isn’t Budweiser Belgian now?……
We may need new rules. Just keep your fruit out of MY beer.
ok—who is DOOGIE?? Anyone not using real names is borderline closet! All beer has flavor–except Bud or Miller–water flavor maybe.
Jason Beeler … aka Doogie Houser M.D.
Actually the actor that played Doogie Houser is GAY. I think he was the spokesman for Zima.
Are you guys too F@#$ing lazy after your INTENSE workouts to put a F%$#ing lime in your Corona!
ok just in…. reported at friar tuck….. BEN,GARY& ROBO’S WISKEY who will be the first to buy such a thing!!!
ok–who is Robo?? Brock?
robert brokaw= robo brock webb= brock
ahhhh hah! ok, I think I have it now
Ya, Bob, back in college we used to buy Old E in 64 oz. (that’s a “quart of beer” to quote the Beastie Boys) bottles. They were so big they had a handle. Paper bags weren’t big enough unless you used a grocery bag.
