    I think the setting/where you are really makes or breaks the beer drinking experience. Other than a bar/restaurant/brewery, where do you most like to drink?

    For me, I love to be outdoors around dusk. Rocking chair, relaxing music, and maybe a fire going.

    How about everyone else?

    I like to drink a few beers while hiking, maybe at the peak of a mountain or something to be able to take in a nice view. Especially nice in the winter.

    But sometimes my favorite setting to drink in is honestly in a chair in my kitchen after work. Atmospheric black metal albums in the headphones, stouts in my glass, and BA on the screen.

    I love to have a drink while either on or overlooking the water.
    My second favorite would be while at the racetrack at Saratoga.
    (Saratoga in August should be on your bucket list)

    If I can't be on the water, I enjoy sitting on my deck and tossing one back.

    In line waiting for a rare release beer surrounded by beer friends, at a beer tasting surrounded by beer friends, in my bedroom - sans pants.

    Agreed. Water is my second choice.

    Outdoors are for the birds, I'm a city boy. But I'll enjoy any setting if the company and brews are right.

    Besides a fire...I love drinking beer next to a summer game with some dispatch in background ...does Dave Mathews make a beer?

    In a Mexican restaurant with my friends after a day of snowboarding. Those Negro Modelos (or whichever beer) are always 5 star delicious.

    When I was stationed in North Carolina I used to take my husky out in the patches of woods that were within the city. I would always take a backpack with a bunch of beers and a glass wrapped up in a bath towel, and some bottles of water to drink/wash out the glass. I love the woods in general, but something about finding a secret secluded place in the middle of an otherwise bustling city was always pretty cool to me. Those are my fondest drinking memories. Sitting on a cinder block and watching the pup run around the brush.

    On the sectional while decimating others at Halo, or a European pub surrounded by locals.

    Two great settings for drinking beer from my past - Whenever I'd go fishing with a couple of friends we'd always bring loads of beer to drink while we're fishing.
    Whenever my pal Mike would have a July 4th barbecue in his back yard, we'd always have a keg of beer there. And plenty of six packs too.

    With my brother at my cousin's apartment, playing Xbox and watching stupid movies :slight_smile:

    Or sitting with them both around a bonfire telling stories.

    Definitely at the cabin, where all-day session drinking is mixed with whatever activities you want to do, everyone grills out at will, then gravitates to the camp fire at night to settle in for a real buzz. Nobody has to travel home, the air is fresh, the laughs are hard, and there's no such thing as a hangover.

    There was a time it was at the bottom of Outer Limits. Now with friends at the Doom Saloon is my favorite.

    I love chilling with my wife on the patio in the summer with a Detroit Tigers game on the radio playing cards. So relaxing.
