Our post-climb beverage of choice could not have been more apropos. As the story goes, I was in a specialty beer store with my girlfriend. I asked her to keep an eye out for a beer that would go well with the climb, something with a name befitting the mountain. Mere moments after saying that she turns to her right in the aisle and sees it, right there within arm's reach: Storm King Stout. Brewed in Pennsylvania. 9.1% alcohol. 100% deliciousness. 50% chance of headache later that evening. December 30, 2006.
