Steam Engine Lager
In 2001, I attended the UCI World Cup Mountain Bike Race in Durango,
Colorado. The downtown time trial at that year's event went right through the
Steamworks Brewery. The latest beer to come from Steamworks is their
Steam Engine Lager.
Elite Cycling
Steamworks describes
the beer as, “An American
classic, noted for its malt
sweetness and hop spice
with a smooth, dry finish,
the Steam Engine Lager
is arguably the best
American-style amber
lager in the world.” Their
description is pretty
accurate. Steam Engine
has full hop flavor, but
manages to dodge the
bitter finish common to
many hoppy beers. The
Steam Engine is an
amber ale in lager
clothing. Try one after your
next ride!
