Flamme-Rouge cycle cafe bar

My Greek sketching and cycling pal, an erstwhile staff member of one of the better cycling magazines, sent a sketch she made in her cycle cafe.

Of course, obsessives and nutters among the roadies and trendies, weighing every calorie of intake, would curl up in an apoplectic fit at the thought of a cyclists' caff that sells liquor.

The ain't Le Caff Poseur, this is the real thing, not a barrista in sight.

The roadies I run with would insist on Guinness though I'd settle for a
Mackeson stout in a pinch.

Seems sort of a global claim there. Lol

We used to have "folding bike rides" in San Francisco. These were real
rides, rather long, with no end-of-ride gathering. Then I saw a Brompton
ride report from the UK along the lines of "we met, it was raining, so
we rode a half mile to the pub."

Experts agree that Guinness is the best option for after-ride gatherings.

I was in Costco a few days ago and it was so sad to hear someone say,
"we'll get the beer somewhere else, they don't have Coors Lite here."
OMG, Costco has like ten good varieties of craft beer available at very
good prices. For an ale, I've been getting this:

has Guinness, but not all the time.

You have to be careful here because there is a local brewery licensed to
"make" Guinness. The one available at Costco isn't the Irish one. That
said Guinness is best on tap IMO and that's a good justification for
stopping at the pub.

Hey, we've got plenty of bike bars -- and even bars on bikes. http://tinyurl.com/otub97c Note Chris King hub beer tap. And lets no forget the brewcycle pedal pub: http://tinyurl.com/nshg33w

I don't know if we have more strip joints, coffee shops or brew pubs. But if you want beervana, you should drop by -- take the tour. http://www.portlandwalkingtours.com/...-brewery-tour/

Not that sophisticated, alas. [HANGS HEAD, ADMITS TO BEER IN THE WINESTORE] I relaunched the Mackeson Stout you refer to, back when I was on loan from the ad agency to Whitbread the brewers.

The one I've gotten at Costco is this one:
http://www.ilovecostco.com/guinness-beer-costco and I thought that it
was the proper one since it is imported from Ireland. It has that
thingee inside the can. I've seen the "fake" Guinness, but not at Costco.

If it says imported it's the real one. The local one says licensed by
Guinness but not imported.

Maybe for Costco it's a local Montreal thing as its brewed by Labatts.
I've actually had it on tap at a pub. It looks quite the same but not
nearly as rich.
Most good Irish pubs here happily use the imported one.
