The post beer beer
Friday afternoon, right after work, with no plans for the weekend.
Extremely specialized case, but the “thank fuck I’m done with that booze-free 28-day tug boat hitch” beer slaps like forbidden love.
From what I understand.
Just took the dog for a walk beer
Summit beer.
Nothing like climbing a mountain and cracking open a warm one on the top.
There's a direct correlation between altitude and improvement of taste.
Feierabendbier!
That's what happens en-masse in Germany in the early havening.
Everyone goes to a corner shop to buy a bottle of cold beer, enters the metro train, opens the beer bottle and drinks it in the metro on the way home.
If this really is a thing, I'm moving to Germany tomorrow
It is, in some places and to some extent.
Until year 2009, the Berlin transportation's rules said "Disturbing use of alcohol is prohibited in public transportation." ...meaning that non-diaturbing use was allowed. The new rule dropped the word "Disturbing", meaning that the procedure is now no longer allowed.
But, the last time I was in Berlin, a few years ago, I was relieved to see that the tradition still lives on. I bet there are cities where it's still outright allowed to this day! But even where it isn't, it's still being done.
Plus, people do drink their Feierabendbier in parks and benches. And often simply first thing after coming home. But Feierabendbier, the concept of drinking a bottle of beer ASAP after the end of your working day, is still alive and kicking indeed!
Shower beer
This is a good one. Used to work 12h night shifts and that 9:30 am shower beer was heavenly.
Funny story: When I was in college, my friends and I went on a ski trip over spring break. Being broke college students, we stayed at someone in the group's brother's apartment, who lived there. It was jam-packed, with 8 of us on the living room floor in sleeping bags. We were all heavy drinkers (college) and did a power hour after the slopes closed on one of the days. For anyone who doesn't know, a power hour is one shot of beer every minute for an hour. It adds up to 90 Oz or 7.5 cans of beer over an hour. Since we were all sweaty from skiing, and there was only 1 shower, everyone was taking turns with the shower beers to keep up with the power hour. I puked right after finishing. Good times.
80 MPH beer
Here's one.
What about the "I'm totally going to stop drinking, at least for a little while.... tomorrow" beer?
The beer after reading unnecessarily pessimistic comments on social media
No I'm isn't
I drink two beers before I drink two beers, and then I drink two more
River or lake beer. Beer that has been in an ice chest for a few hours and you enjoy while tubing, kayaking, swimming, motor boating, etc. on a river or lake.
It is important to note that this is NOT the same as a beach beer OR fishing beer; which are similar, but distinctly different beers for reasons I can't fully explain.
I'll adopt your word for a different definition: a beer from a non working refrigerator, cooled in the near freezing river. God damn Kyiv, it was 18c today and you still haven't turned on the fridges in the (beach) produktis?
Anyways, that beer was nice
bonus points if it's thrown to you from the boat/dock
"It's Friday, 17:00, you are working from home"
It's Wednesday, 14:00 and you're in the office today so beer is free
It's Thursday, 9:00 and you're home cause you're still unemployed.
The "Just finished setting up the tent and campsite" beer
Especially after waiting in line for a festival campsite
Ah, the good ol' Step 2.
See also: just got to the campsite and about to build it but gonna cool off with this beer first
The sleeper - the beer that you've never heard of, has a shitty label, but tastes like the nectar of the gods. You will never see it again, but will think about it for weeks
Lagunitas Aunt Sally. a beer that I had exactly once, was maybe my favorite ever, and I tried for two years to find again before learning it was a seasonal that's been discontinued
I also miss that beer that had dragon somewhere in the name that I could never find again.
Dragon's Milk, maybe? It's one of my favorites.
That's it and their website lists where I can buy it nearby. Apparently they carry it in stores I didn't check.
Thank you!
Breakfast beer.
The "post afternoon nap in warm weather shower beer"
At first I read "bear."
The "my favorite sportball team is playing" beer.
That, "I just told my boss I'm quitting" beer
The first Friday beer after a long work-week
Having one of those now. It’s glorious.
How about the first Friday beer after another long week of unemployment? 🙃
Same. It's cheap, It tastes like mostly water, but at least it's ice cold.
I am also enjoying this beer. Hang in there. Yours will come.
the "I'm working 3rd shift and living at home to make ends meet, so here I am drinking a beer at 7 am as my dad sits next to me eating breakfast before work" beer.
I love the weirdness of working overnight shifts. Get home at 0730, and it's like your 10pm while everyone else is just waking up. Then you have the opposite when you wake up and have to eat dinner immediately.
Post exercise, run, playing a sport beer.
6 o'clock on the porch watching everyone else go to school and work because you got off work at 4 a.m. and are just getting settled down beer.
On a warm but not overly hot summer morning that's particularly awesome
The "it's been too long since we've got together, we just sat down and your friend is going to explain the rules to this game" beer
And, since it is the season
"First beer of the season on opening day at the Ballpark" beer
The free "bartender accidentally poured a mistake" beer.
