[edit] OT: National Drink Beer Day
Title says it all. Today is National Drink a Beer Day. How will you celebrate?
At work, where beer is not allowed, a couple of us bought a bunch of Root Beer to pass around the office. Tonight, I need suggestions because I am shockingly out of beer at home!
Edit: It was pointed out that it is National Drink Beer Day...not a Beer!

Got a twelve pack of this for the last tailgate and loved it. Never tried it before and found that it was quite good.
September 28th, 2012 at 12:50 PM ^
My girlfriend likes their Dirty Blonde. I've had better wheat/lighter beers, but it's pretty good
September 28th, 2012 at 1:05 PM ^
I think the Atwater Dunkel is TREMENDOUS, and that's not normally one of my preferred types of beer.
September 28th, 2012 at 12:41 PM ^
I will put mine down while driving to Detroit tonight.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:15 PM ^
I will usually crack a beer when I get about half an hour away from my destination on long car trips. Usually one will not be able to get a buzz on in that period of time unless you are trying to (by drinking barleywine, say, or by slamming beers). Too bad it is illegal. Having a beer while driving your car is one of life's great pleaseure.
Please note: The above is not an endoesement of drunk driving, just an endorsement of drinking a beer while behind the wheel.

I second this. I fully understand why the law exists, but as long as you're not impaired and you're under a 0.08 BAC, I see nothing wrong with drinking a cold one while driving.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:37 PM ^
Open container laws vary by state

JeepinBen (and Car and Driver, they have their own disclaimer if you follow the link) do NOT condone drinking and driving, or driving while intoxicated. /PSA'd
September 28th, 2012 at 5:55 PM ^
Seriously, I do it all the time. Sometimes a man just wants a cold one. I do it on the riding mower and that has spinning blades below my feet. I only have one every hour or two.
September 28th, 2012 at 12:42 PM ^
better than Oberon, IMO
September 28th, 2012 at 12:47 PM ^
I was thinking about Oberon, but since that is a standard I thought I should try something new for the holiday!
September 28th, 2012 at 12:56 PM ^
I've got a few of those in the fridge right now. Definitely going to knock back a couple while watching the Tigers game tonight.
September 28th, 2012 at 12:45 PM ^
on Friday nights? I don't think I've ever done that. I might have a hard time with this holiday.

I may have to tip one back tonight then. I do have at least one bottle of Breakfast Stout at home, along with some others. I will be keeping my second bottle of Bitches Brew though until the wife is done being pregnant. Had the first bottle last weekend.
September 28th, 2012 at 12:49 PM ^
I'll probably drink a beer. Or not. Haven't made up my mind yet.
September 28th, 2012 at 12:49 PM ^
I celebrated at 1am this morning. In my mind it was still Thursday, but I'm glad I took part in the festivities of an international holiday.
September 28th, 2012 at 12:50 PM ^
September 28th, 2012 at 12:52 PM ^
Everyday's National Drink a Beer Day for me.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:19 PM ^
this is delicious
September 28th, 2012 at 12:53 PM ^
Beer is always allowed.
September 28th, 2012 at 12:53 PM ^
Ginger Beer. Just kidding, that's awful. So i'll be working on application essays, sooooo probably won't drink much of anything. maybe I'll have a can of rolling rock before going to bed. Don't judge me.
September 28th, 2012 at 12:57 PM ^
Too late.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:02 PM ^
You can't make a Dark and Stormy without ginger beer.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:26 PM ^
Dark 'n Stormys are delicious. A good ginger beer goes a long way in making the perfect Moscow Mule, also.
September 28th, 2012 at 12:57 PM ^
September 28th, 2012 at 1:01 PM ^
Great, great choice.
September 28th, 2012 at 5:17 PM ^
Damn right. That's what I'm having tonight. I'm brewing my own version tomorrow, so I gotta get my mind right.
Also probably AleSmith IPA and/or some Ballast Point Sculpin the lady brought me back from SD.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:47 PM ^
Go out and find a Southern Tier Pumpking. It is infinitely better then Dogfish Head's Pumpkin.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:09 PM ^
I'm sucking on Rubbing alcohol packets.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:18 PM ^
I'm throwin back a handful of hand sanitizer every 5 minutes.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:11 PM ^
I'll celebrate at least six times today, probably more. Homebrewed Mexican lager... It's still summer here in Tampa.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:13 PM ^
September 28th, 2012 at 1:43 PM ^
September 28th, 2012 at 1:15 PM ^
Not a straight up beer guy, but this'll have to do.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:18 PM ^
We have a Tap Room at work, where my company has a bar area with beer provided certain hours. So - after I finish what I'm doing, I'm going to go upstairs and grab a beer. Just for you guys.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:23 PM ^
Is your company hiring?
September 28th, 2012 at 1:25 PM ^
Its National Drink Beer Day. So don't feel obligated to limit yourself to just one, not that you would of anyways.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:42 PM ^
September 28th, 2012 at 3:36 PM ^
the worst holiday ever.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:57 PM ^
I apologize for my error, first post mistake!
September 28th, 2012 at 1:36 PM ^
1. Founders Breakfast Stout
2. New Holland Dragon's Milk
3. Homebrew Russian Imperial Stout
I see ya, Friday.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:16 PM ^
A special yum to Dragon's Milk. That is some really good stuff right there.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:41 PM ^
I'm going to have many more than one.
Headed to Taco Mac, they have a few hundred to choose from so I'll just have to play it by ear.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:43 PM ^
Founders Breakfast Stout
September 28th, 2012 at 1:57 PM ^
I'll probably just grab a Sam Adams at the airport lounge later tonight on my way home.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:58 PM ^
I will be at the New Glarus Oktoberfest visiting my grandparents. Much Staghorn will be consumed by me.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:09 PM ^
Solid choice.
I have a smattering of Firestone Walker brews in my fridge which I will inevitably consume at some point tonight.
