Does anyone else ever mix beer and tomato juice?

[LeftyFingerPop]

Half and half.

It is quite good if you use a good, full-bodied beer.

1. An yuppy affectation.

pie hole.

[LeftyFingerPop]

2. I disagree.

I learned this from an old Greek gentleman in the 70's.

3. My dad used to mix beer and tomato juice.

He did it in the 70s, but he wasn't Greek. :)

6. LOL....a story.

This was late 70's I think. I was friends with this guy...a Deadhead like myself.

I was over his house, and we were blasting some tunes.

His father walked into the kitchen, half asleep. Poured himself a big glass of beer and tomato juice, chugged the whole thing, burped, licked his lips and said "Turn that shit down".

Then he went back to bed. :rofl:

A fine working-class Canadian drink; when I do it I use Clamato and Alley-Kat Amber Ale, a local beer.

Going to get one right now..

10. Why just mix beer and tomato juice...

...when you can mix beer, tomato juice, and clam juice?



:puke:

11. My mom has done that.

She really likes em.

Not my thing at all.

12. I drank that all the time in Portland, Oregon

I had never even heard of a "red beer" until I lived in Portland. It seems to be completely unknown in southern California. But it was popular in Portland, so I started drinking it and I liked it a lot then. Oddly I haven't had one since I left Portland 27 years ago! But they are good. And you say to yourself that you're doing some good for your body by drinking the tomato juice.

13. Love it. Always called it a Hippie Bloody Mary....

don't know where it came from, the name I mean.

[trof]

14. Yep. Good for hangovers.

Helps get you smoothed out.

[HopeHoops]

15. I'm glad I didn't have anything in my mouth when I read that post.

:puke: :scared: :spray:

16. In college, we called that a "Buddy Mary."

YUM! :hi:

[BarbaRosa]

17. I've tried it, didn't care for it.

Each to his own.:toast:

[mak3cats]

19. It's called "red beer" down South...

...but now that I'm back in New York State, it's Canadian lager and V-8 for me (about a 4-to-1 ratio). Can't live without it!

20. I saw a lot of folks doing that in Ontario

It was a bar near Owen Sound as I recall

[MilesColtrane]

21. Never heard of it until a friend from Michigan had one.

He called them "bloody beers".

My gag reflex kicks in just thinking about it.

[UTUSN]

23. It's called a "michelada" in Mexican cantinas, but with more ingredients:

Lime, pepper?, salt, and something else. Sorry, I don't know the magic ingredients.


But they also do it as a Bloody Mary type thing, substituting liquor instead of the beer. I think it's more of a hangover fix, for to continue with the drinking for hours of the normal choice of beer or drink.

[LynneSin]

24. Already being made from our friends at Budweiser

[montanto]

25. Used to, when I was still drinking for breakfast.

[Moondog]

26. I've heard of it. Never tried it. A square that remains unfilled ....

[Callalily]

27. Nope, but I've heard

of beer and 7-Up. I'm told it's called a Cincinnati, but please don't quote me on that. Someone may have been pulling a fast one on me. ;)
