Beer Pairing for the Olympics?

If we have a gang of students over here watching the olympics I'm buying what's on sale.

 

Aquatics, canoeing, sailing, and rowing could be matched with Ballast Point beers. TaeKwondo and Judo should have an Asian selection.

 

For the marathon I need a bomber of a huge imperial stout so it will last the entire race and to get me intoxicated enough to make marathon interesting.

 

'Merica for all of them.

 

Ok, I'll bite, for I too am bored.

New Brewdog offering. Seems those guys really don't care for badminton...

 

Back in 1980, the woman who worked across from me on the assembly line asked,
"Jess, did you go to the Olympics?"

What a weird, out-of-the-blue, question - even though the winter games had been held only a few hundred miles north in Lake Placid.
"Uh, no, why do you ask?"

"Well, 'cause of your hat."

Hmmm... well, 60% of the correct number of rings, I guess...

Kinda funny, but also somewhat sad because she lived in Newark (or around there) and was probably 5-10 years older than I was. The famous 3-rings emblem, once among the most recognized trademarks in the country, already forgotten less than a decade after closing of the brewery...​

 

Sailing and triathlon, Brahma with feces in it.

 

Zika infection paired with 2015 Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout

 

Too bad Tree House isn't making Dirty Water any more....

 

Based on all of the news stories about the water, and the pollution, I am going to say whatever is 'unfiltered'. The beers are all fantastic, but seeing the pictures of the "unfiltered" water...

 

Just go with your gut, Like America does.

 

Pretty much with every event.

 

In honor of the home country and if you are in it's distro path, you could go with some Xingu Black Beer:

 

What beer pairs well with amoebic dysentery? Maybe a Peanut Butter Porter for the bowl clogging power of protein and peanuts.
