    Ah yes, the lawn mower beer. The true sign of summer. So I ask you BA's, are lawn mower beers better while mowing the lawn or after you are done. I always thinks about grabbing one while mowing but then usually decide to wait until after so I can relax with the finished product. Plus I have a rider and the beer jostles around quite a bit while I mow. But maybe I am missing the point???

    After, while taking a shower, put only cans.

    The BEST scenario is drinking water during an extended period of hot work, then come into the cool house pop open a can/ bottle of your favorite lawnmower beer (my go-to is Pivo Pils) then sit down with the ice-cold beer in a recliner and relax!

    I had a landscaper use bricks, boulders, shrubs and hostas to reduce the lawn to 4 small patches so one beer pretty much covers before, during and after.

    I prefer to drink a beer and watch someone else mow the lawn.

    Beer always tastes better and is more refreshing when they are deserved.

    After beer tastes better after working hard. I like to wait until I'm relaxing before I open one up.

    I go for after. First, to relax, and second, alcohol and motorized cutting machines don't mix, IMO.

    After, no one wants to attempt to a beer while grass clippings are flying in their face

    There is no mention of quantity. If we are talking a standard 12oz then I suppose it doesn't matter. Bombers and 750s should probably be left for after the job is done but ultimately left up to the discression of the mower. Lawnmower growers are a complicated subject. If you are hell bent on consuming a lawnmower growler, one should employ the Before, During and After method.
