9 easy beer equations that solve all your problems

I had a BLack & Tan once or twice when I first started drinking beer, before I learned any better.

 

The Chelada and Red-eye ones are oversimplified - chelada also has salt. Red-eyes usually have salt, Worcestershire sauce (and/or Maggi) and its made with Clamato (clam + tomato juice) not just Tomato juice. Cheers

 

My favorite isn't on there (well it's sort of split between two) - Michelada. That's pretty much the only beer cocktail I'll occasionally ever drink these days

Also never knew stout could go into snakebite - thought it was just lager. At uni we drank a lot of snakebite black (snakebite with a dash of blackcurrant; aka diesel).

Also in the UK, shandy is where you're doing 50/50. A lager with a splash of lemonade (which is akin to 7-up in the UK) is called a lager tops

 

I've had 4 of them. It'll be 5 after I have a snakebite this weekend.

 

And another that's not listed. A porter mixed with raspberry lambic. It was really good.

 

I've done enough Irish Car Bombs in one sitting before to ask the question, out loud, "Is my face in this room?"

I was over 30 at the time, so I have no choice but to own that.

 

Oh I've been there. Snake bites. Head hurts.

 

Snake Bites also need a shot of black currant liquor

 

That is fantastic

 

You need a shot of black current liquror for it.

 

I hope I grow up to be just like you one day.

 

When I was on rugby tour in England snakebites with black current were pretty much all we drank.

 

Irish Car Bomb, Chelada (sp?)

 

haha likewise - one quid snakebites with the rugby boys at the student union were a regular thing

what position you play?

 

"Is my face in this room?" is an entirely valid question with that many ICB's down. "Are my intestines still insde of me" is probably another


I've had most of these, also plenty of beergaritas which is my favorite "variant" of a chelada, if it really can be categorized as such. I don't tend to drink these too often, though last fall I did do my fair share of snakebites with various pumpkin ales/stouts and woodchuck Pumpkin and/or Fall cider.

 

Started as a prop what i was a freshman in high school but switched to lock in college and have been playing that ever since.

Also where I learned how to strawpedo.....god i love europe.

 

Prop as well. Started at loose and ended at tight

 

No option for zero. Never mix my beers with anything. Quality beers stand on their own!

 

Oh, the 30 refers to "years alive", not car bombs consumed. I have no idea how many I actually drank that night - could be more, could be fewer.

I just know it was opening night for the NFL, and I had taken off work the next day (which was a memorable experience in itself, but not exactly in a good way).

I should probably try some of these others at some point...
