there’s no comparison…
a cold one on the beach is good but if you’re hiking up into the mountains and when you get to your campsite and open a lukewarm beer … that beer is so good
not much can compare
ok so this example only pertains to backpacking but I stand firm on it
warm whisky is fucking awesome after a couple miles of backpacking, just another fyi
get to your campsite and open a lukewarm beer
If you ever stay at an alpine lake, bring a mesh bag and store them in the lake. Nice cold beverages.
The higher you go the less air pressure there is to keep the carbonation in the liquid. This definitely affects taste.
Even slight elevation changes (roughly 10-25 meters imo) fizzes out fatser
Agree. I don’t know if it’s reality or if my mind is making things up, but carbonated beverages have a lot more of that fizzy feeling when closer to sea level, and that is the entire reason I drink them over other beverages.
I have lived both in the mountains of Appalachia and below sea level in New Orleans.
People in the mountains generally don’t drink a lot of soda
So there is this place called The Rocky Mountains, particularly adjacent the entire Denver metropolitan area, and it’s got both people and soda in no short supply, friend. If you ever plan a trip through there, maybe a day between flights, check out some of the national parks in the area.

That makes sense, being up in the mountains makes a lot of other things seem flat by comparison.
