straight from the bottle? in a glass? from a can? (ew) or do you prefer tap beer?

Tap, in a glass.

If I'm at a show, there's a certain satisfaction in holding a bottle rather than a glass, and less likelihood it'll spill.

There are a couple of beers that are switching to cans right now that are good anyway, like my beautiful Rezzie:

I prefer tap beer in a glass. A tall, ice cold glass.

I like mine from the bottle with a wedge of lime. I make sure the lime is squeezed a little so I get the lovely lime juice mixed in.

In a glass is best, I will drink it from a bottle though.

when out i'll drink tap beer in a glass. if beer is already in a bottle i'll drink it straight from the bottle. in that case, glasses are for wussies. i loathe beer from a can.

Cans taste like ... cans.

i also don't like those fake plastic glasses that are used at concerts. they might make a nice crunchy sound when you walk on them but that's about it.

exactly!

Draft beer from a glass. What's the alternative really? Maybe holding your head under the tap, I guess. Actually, that might not be so bad.

I drink bottled beer at home, although I'm really not much of a beer drinker these days. Canned beer has its place--tailgating, teenagers' elicit parties when parents are out of town, etc.

I had a friend in college who found the world's cheapest brand of supermarket beer. I think it was called Lion's Head or something like that. It was around five dollars for a case of twenty-four cans (including the five cent deposit on each can). It tasted pretty much like you would imagine...

Holy Cow Janine. That picture looks like it belongs in the pillow talk thread.

Didn't matter a bit. It was all about being around people your own age and having fun.

well, it is a cross stitch pattern so you could make it into a pillow, but that's probably not what you're referring to.

I usually drink at home, straight from the can/bottle (90% bottle, 10% can), but I have some fancy beer glasses, too. I like beer in a glass at bars.

I also drink fairly quickly. If I'm gonna drink, maybe once every six weeks or so, I tend to want to get drunk. I've heard that a little alcohol every couple days is actually good for stress levels (don't have proof of that, though) but I don't know that I could drink that way.

I like most beer out of the bottle. If it is a nice rich stout I prefer the kind of glasses that are domed and frosty.

no beer. a nice red wine, please.

Sometimes I drink to remember, sometimes I drink to forget.

I have a really nice hand blown glass that I picked up at the SanTan brewery. It is my favorite glass to drink beer from.

it is like this.

Nice.

In a glass. Under the supervision of my parents. In sips. Any number of these would be good answers.

:) Rachel.

But what is your answer?

If I'm at a bar, I like drafts. At home, I get bottled. Cans are only imbibed if I'm at a party and that's all they have :(

Agreed Jessica, a can is the last resort. Welcome to TC.

Thanks for the welcome :D

What time is too early to have a beer?

that depends on the day of the week and if there's a special occasion. i like to think students get to drink whenever they want, regardless of day of the week or special occasions or the time.

Lucky students.

Especially students who are finishing their masters degree and graduating in six days!

Bitches. Fuckers.

You okay today Larry?

Excellent. You?

I drink my beer through a surrogate.

When I go to a bar, I always take along a friend who drinks. Then people won't bug me so much to drink, which they do until I tell them I'm the designated driver.

I could not agree more

In a glass, dark and warm.

Erm...in sips? Did I get it right? Did I? Did I?

Yes you did, Bunny.

Yay!

In a glass or glass bottle but not ice cold. actually, I think it tastes better a little on the warm side.

Good beer does. Bad beer needs to be chilled to disguise the taste.

Intravenously please, if I MUST have a beer. I have never acquired the taste. I love wine though. I remember my hippy days when we'd drink wine out of a wineskin. Ahhh, those were the days.

How do I like to drink my beer?

Very much.

Free love.

Now love is very expensive.
