Beermosa ‘like jet fuel’ for runner

Beermosa as energy drink
While training for his first marathon, J.L. Zoeckler discovered the perfect pre-run elixir: A beermosa of Beck’s Oktoberfest and orange juice.
“This stuff must be like jet fuel,” he describes in his training vlog. “By mile three I couldn’t even think straight I was running so comfortably and so fast.” He also called it his “most amazing run yet.”
He’s not the only runner who has benefited from this concoction, either. Another runner commented on J.L.’s workout on DailyMile saying, “I tried it too, out of suspicion and to help calm my pre-run anxiety. I was surprised at how good it tasted and how great I felt.”
J.L. — who describes himself as “your average runner” — finished five miles but said he felt like he wanted to run another 10 miles after completing the beermosa-charged run.
Of course, he says, further testing is required. That would be the responsible thing to do.
You can follow J.L.’s training for the May 16 Green Bay Cellcom Marathon on Twitter and Dailymile.
