An ultrarunner I knew told me beer was a great recovery drink because it's all carbs. I was good with that.

Problem is you need a good dose of protein to help recovery too, and beer has one maybe 2 grams per 12oz at most. From memory you should get at least a 4:1 ratio of carbs to protein and beer is only about 12:1.

You might get better ratios with a good double-bock. The Trappists consumed naught but beer during Lent and they're a healthy bunch.
