Beer selections on flights

Ofcourse, it's a rule-of-thumb since everyone metabolizes alcohol at different rates. But the fact is: your oxygen levels ARE lessened by the air pressure in an airplane. The air pressure in most cabins is the same you'd experience at 8,000 ft. Oxygen levels and dehydration, as you mentioned, will amplify the affect of alcohol. Your tolerance changes. I agree that ABV is ABV.

OneBeertoRTA... How many beers to you consume on your average flight?

 

Best I've seen was Brooklyn Lager on JB. I don't really like to drink on planes, so I not too worried about it. I wish the airport bars were better though.

 

The beers are terrible, so none; if you are asking how many 50mls then I am going to have to take my attorney's advice and plead the 5th...

 

I flew BA to Italy over the summer and crushed massive quantities of "free" London Pride. Tasty, tasty beer. I think the other options were Heineken and maybe Carlsberg.

 

Best beer airline=Horizon, which is a subsidiary of Alaskan. Not only do they serve craft beer, it's always FREE! They usually have one selection per month and it's usually a beer from the Pac NW. Last few times I've flown on a Horizon flight I've had a Deschutes Mirror Pond, Ninkasi Oatis Oatmeal Stout, and some Pyramid beer. The free part is the kicker, and they give refills.

 

I second Horizon. I used to fly with them a lot, and always enjoyed my free beer.

 

Used to love flying on the smaller Horizon planes. At night, usually the only person in the back row. "can I just have the whole 22? Thanks. I'll probably have another in ten or so.".

 

Just enjoyed a Dale's Pale on my flight from Denver to Virginia.

 

alaskan is sold on alaska/horizon airlines; sometimes you can find blue moon on some of the bigger carriers

 

Fullers London Pride. It was a flight from London to the states, but if I recall it was on a major American carrier.

 

LOL...I was thinking a flight of beer like at a bar when I read the title...epic fail.

 

Horizon! Free random microbrew.

I don't normally drink beers on flights, but my coworker and I definitely cleared out all the Black Butte on a train back from Vancouver.
