I would say that Guinness is my favourite BEvERage after a hard workout. How about you?

If the workout was a long oneā¦
Followed by a cold Coca-Cola
Followed by a beer
Nice cold water.
The Subaru Tri Series has Erdinger Alkoholfrei beer at the finish line at the races I did this year and I can really say it does hit the spot after a race. Most non-alcohol beer sucks but this stuff is fantastic.
That being said, any cold pilsner would be ideal after a hard workout. But usually its chocolate milk and water.
In order of consumption
Recoverite
Mexican Coke
Beer, depends what I have on hand, this weekend is the Blue Moon Fall sampler.
