I think you may want to piss on them now to clean the bud off of them. Friends don't let friends drink B/M/C. Not sure how the 3%abv would affect the dyneema dog bones, my guess not much at all, but I am not an authority on that, just an expert on crappy beer.

have seen beer damage climbers not sure how crappy beer would affect gear. I would rub a liver all over it to help process the beer and remove the toxins......not sure how damaging a liver might be on your gear.
some one here must know.

I thought it was mandatory for climbers to drink Pabst Blue Ribbon? You'd get your tires slashed in Montana for drinking anything less.

In talking about P-Beer wouldn't it be "anything more"?

hate to be the ass-hat, but redhook is NOT a new england beer.
granted, there IS a brewery in portsmouth, the ORIGINAL brewery was in seattle, opened in early 80's. then in early 90's they opened a brewery somewhere else in washington, then another (that's no longer open), and a fourth in portsmouth in the mid/late 90's.
SO while there is a brewery in NE the company is originally from the NW and still has a brewery there that out-dates the NE one....
that said, i'm a NE boy myself and always used to assume redhook was a NE beer...

I retire all of my gear with a 40oz poured upon the fallen. One for me and one for my homies.

I actually had the same thing happen to me (can exploded), with PBR. The strange thing is, I usually buy Widmer heff (its in the bottles). In a moment of poorness I stooped so low as to buy the PBR, and I got a beer soaked rope as a consequence. Lesson learned, oh and I'll be staying away from Montana now I guess.

I don't own a pack that doesn't smell of spilled beer and I'm still alive.
It lubes the cam gates.

Beer is too much weight. Switch to the hard stuff. I prefer Whiskey or Rum. A midnight scramble and a small sigg filled with the golden goodness is good for you and your 3 friends. Or if your like many climbers a more natural leafy relaxant is in order.

You should carry around the ShamWOW. Won't need to worry about any of that. It's a staple on my rack.

Good general assumption... If it's safe for your skin, it's safe for your gear. Battery acid on skin = bad, beer on skin = ok.
