It's a good hang-over cure, with a bit of tabasco also!!
Also a good way to drink cheap beer.

Cut loose, Phil. Get out of Utah now and then. It's pretty hard to even

If you can drink the traditional snit with a Bloody Mary, you can drink

I dont know about now, but i can remember drinking that combination some 40
years ago. Seems to me there was a bit of a fad then among young people. Wasnt
bad, as I remember it. However, now being older and wiser, not to say more

So, you want we should send you some? It'll be in white cans with the

you don't have inexpensive beer. Even the cheap stuff is expensive in

I saw this stuff a couple decades ago in West Virginia, also called "Red
Beer". I was just visiting (I lived another state north in Pa. at the
time), but my impression was that it was rather popular in blue collar
type bars. Must have been fairly regional, because it was unknown in
bars of similar ilk up in Pa. (that was "a shot and a beer" territory).
Sounds like it has surfaced elsewhere, and gone somewhat upscale. Same
principal as drinking a bloody mary for breakfast, I guess. Personally,
I don't care that much for tomato juice, spiked or unspiked.
At least it's better than putting a raw egg in your beer - I've actually
seen somebody do this a couple of times. Bleh! I think that was popular
MANY years back - the couple of times I've seen the practice, it was
being done by old-timers. And there is an old saying about "what do you
want - egg in your beer?".

True - to the uncultured palete of a "store bought beer" type person. But to
a homebrewer like Bill or myself, or somebody who only buys microbrewery beer
if they buy beer at all, *much* of the store bought stuff is plain lousy - on

Regional? Let's see. Anyone that has even partially followed this
thread has seen posts from all over the U.S., and (I think) at least one
other country.
Surfaced? I first tired a "Red Beer" in Kansas in the mid '70's. It
was old hat then, and, based on the testimony of several posters, old
hat in other "regions."
Let's at least pretend we wade through 394 postings/day.

Holy Cow. You mean you've never had a Root Beer Barrel? They're pretty
good. Most of the bars I've been to serve them: a near-full glass of beer
with a shot glass full of root beer floating on top.
You have to "slam" it, drinking the entire beer and the contents of the
shot glass at the same time. After burping, you'd swear all you drank was
root beer - virtually no trace of regular beer taste.
Quite the novelty!

_I_ certainly wouldn't recommend it. Tomato juice is quite acidic, which (for
whatever reason) is bad for you when you have a hangover. Stick to water,
aspirin, and maybe some vitamins.

Yup. A little root beer can only enhance the taste of your garden-variety
American skunk piss. This recipe should probably not be applied to the
more flavorful brews.
Incidentally, for the anti-American-beer bigots out there, be reminded that
every beer-brewing country on the planet makes at least one sucky beer,
including yours.

Let me say even more: in a majority of beer-brewing countries most of
the consumed beer is pretty bland. Some exceptions may be the Czech
Rep and Ireland.

If the object of my desire responded to that kind of smarmosity by

I believe this idiom dates from the heyday of the cocktail (!) -- the 1930's
immediately after prohibition. Naming exotic drinks in this way gave gay
young blades permission to be saucy with the girls without being offensive.
Now it just seems silly, but is still common among the young who are working
out the boundaries of the permissible. God, I hate sounding like an old fart.

I'm not sure about the "heyday" of cocktails, but they first became
common during, not after, prohibition, when alcohol was strong but not
very good, and required mixing with other substances to be potable.
At least, that's what I've read.

Try it with this "new" ginger ale, called Blenheim.
It's actually an old ginger ale, made in Blenheim, S.C., but they're
currently trying their hand at going "national."
Even the "pale" variety will make you cough. The "hot" has a half life.
Personally, I prefer Vernors, but I like to buy Blenheim now and then to

I think you will find that this distinction has only be made relatively
recently and that people will ask for a lager shandy or bitter shandy.
In my youth one would ask for a shandy and expect a bitter shandy without
question. Lager has, after all, been a recentish addition to the british
beer palate.
Or maybe it's a north south thing, with the southern heathens drinking
lager shandies.
I have, however, never heard of anyone drinking a 'mild' shandy.
On the subjct of obscure combinations there is always a 'mackie and vimto'
which is made with Mackeson Stout (poor mans guiness) and 'Vimto' a
pink flavoured soda and probably the nearest british equivalent of root
beer, although it doesn't taste as much like a skin care product as as root
beer does.

I'll drink Old Peculier in preference to Budweiser any day. The beers I
prefer are the dark beers, in fact the beers I prefer are Ales...
There wasn't room in the middle name to list my favourite beers in order
although Marstons Merry Monk and Theakstons Old Peculier would be in there
right after Banks' Mild Ale and above Owd Rodger and the Smith brothers
brews.
One thing i've always wondered is, if a Peculier is one who pecules, what
exactly is peculing and does anyone still do it?

I went to a rather large folk/rock festival at Nostel Priory, near
Wakefield (headlined by Jethro Tull). It was between Wakefield and Masham
and sponsored by Theakston's Brewery. The stage was a huge affair dwarfed
only by the bar at the other end of the field, selling all manner of
Theakston's beverages.

Peculier is the French translation for "to peculate", of course. Old

I think this came up once before. A Peculier is some sort of religious

I didn't want to slam the Canadian brews outright - but most of them are
a bit overrated. This opinion, of course, ignores the fact that all
popular, by-the-case, freezing, fizzy, lightweight, piss-colored American
beers are also unacceptable. And many of the world's blast-it-with-a-

In the USofA, that's close but not quite accurate. Root beer is a
mixture of several herbs, including sarsaparilla and sassafrass (both
of which have benzene rings -- tie-in! tie-in!). Actual recipes
differ and are trade secrets, but they include licorice, ginger, cinnamon,

Well, T.M. Griffiths's "Non-Secret Formulas" (St. Louis, 1910), has
some doozies. Sassafras, wild cherry bark, allspice, wintergreen bark,

There is a brewing company in Niagara Falls, Ontario that every year comes up
with something new and different, and sells it in 750ml bottles. A few years
ago it was Eisbock (bock beer made by putting the beer outside till it
freezes and skimming the ice off - it was over 8% alcohol! A couple of
750ml bottles of that, and I was flying). The year before last, it was
"Maple Wheat Beer". They made a regular wheat beer, but instead of water,
they used maple sap (unboiled). If you drank it really warm, and
concentrated, you could just about catch the maple flavour. But if you drank
it cold, it tasted like regular wheat beer.
