I typically don't bring beer backpacking because of the weight. It's usually just little whiskey and smoke. But, with all the cans of quality stuff out there these days, I think I might toss in a few cans of TenFidy or something for the next trip. I know there are backpackers on here, so what do you guys bring?
Last time I took any with me, I went with Founders All Day. Can't beat it for the heat in my opinion... I mean, unless you wanna drink water or gatorade I guess.
Mountain mix everytime. Very hard to concoct though. Cheap vodka and any powdered drink mix, preferably Tang for me. My uncle brought a few beers once that was a dam fine treat, but I want the most bang for my load. My old man used to love 151 rum. He said it does the job quick and makes a great lighter fluid. I think my first taste of alcohol was at a young age when pop let me hit his cognac on a cold weather trip, shit lights up your insides and is why I still pack it in during the cold season. For nightcaps, nothing beats a hot toddy with your choice of tea and liquor, I prefer brandy. Back to the beer... great for camping but not so much packing. I think u have the right idea w the Ten Fidy tho and that's prob what I would bring. Hopefully you can chill it just a tad in a nearby creek or stream. Have fun.
