From a keg just like momma used to make
September 11th, 2009 at 3:44 PM ^
Crappy, light keg beer with too much foam. And a bottle of Jim Beam or Jack Daniels in your other hand. Get a fifth; share it with friends, put the rest in your jeans and dump it into your Pepsi once you get in the stadium. That's usually my plan of attack. Or, alternately, buy a pint for the whole "illegally drinking in the stadium" part. Easier to sneak in. Though if you get caught- and my buddy did when they spotted a bulge under his sweatshirt- they kick you out. So...yeah. Maybe just the fifth and the cheap beer and don't drink during the game. Whiskey + Beer + Football = good times.

Coke this year.
And how come the traditional white plastic M cups have been changed to *transparent* Coke cups? Harder to disguise that I have a beer in my cup when I'm on the street. Grrr.
September 11th, 2009 at 1:59 PM ^
shaken, not stirred.
September 11th, 2009 at 2:20 PM ^
Widmer Hefeweizen. Maize and smooth.
September 11th, 2009 at 3:28 PM ^
I just moved to Portland about a month ago and I have to say, Widmer is horribly overrated.
FTR, I'm not the one that negbanged you.

The rare triple post. Was it for each beer?
September 11th, 2009 at 2:00 PM ^
Beast of course. What else would an upstanding U of M fan drink at a tailgate : )
September 11th, 2009 at 2:01 PM ^
Ice cold PBR
September 11th, 2009 at 2:53 PM ^
PBR me ASAP!!!!

Fucking hipsters.

Keg beer, jager, and red bull. The perfect trifecta of any successful pregame party.
September 11th, 2009 at 2:14 PM ^
Vodka and Red Bull, tall, with some lime!
September 11th, 2009 at 2:17 PM ^
Beer is number one but I also make a drink called Apple Pie where I boil 2qts apple juice, 1 gallon apple cider and 1 jar of cinnamon sticks for an hour and then after it cools I add one liter of Everclear (for those who don't know Everclear is 190 proof and I have to go to Indiana to buy it) But it is yummy for a little dessert after the hotdogs and brats!
September 11th, 2009 at 2:37 PM ^
Love the apple pie. My first time I tried it at a tailgate, I was 3 glasses in before I asked what was in it. Not surprisingly, 1st half kind of a blur.
September 11th, 2009 at 2:55 PM ^
where can we try some this good stuff??
September 11th, 2009 at 11:13 PM ^
We tailgate across from the DPS building. We are normally the only one across from them with Satelite TV.
September 11th, 2009 at 5:38 PM ^
Delicious...and deadly for those of us lacking the body mass to absorb it, but somehow that never stops me.
September 11th, 2009 at 2:18 PM ^
Southern Comfort and Mountain Dew...perfect way to start and end the day!!
September 11th, 2009 at 2:19 PM ^
Before the game? Nothing. After the game? My handle of Black Velvet (because I am a poor college student). Maybe Bacardi or Sailor Jerry's and Coke if I find someone to split a fifth with me.
September 11th, 2009 at 2:21 PM ^
captain+coke+lime=game time!
September 11th, 2009 at 2:42 PM ^
80% Captain/20% Coke
Here's to The Captain!
September 11th, 2009 at 2:21 PM ^
Its f#@king hot out there!
September 11th, 2009 at 2:23 PM ^
Keep it local with either Bell's Oberon (in warmer weather, like now) or the aptly-named Wolverine Beer ($7.99/6-pack @ Busch's).
For colder games, toss in the occasional shot of Hot Damn Schnapps.
September 11th, 2009 at 3:10 PM ^
if I can find some, otherwise it's Yuengling.
September 11th, 2009 at 4:48 PM ^
FTW!
When visiting my inlaws, we bring it back by the car full. If no Yuengling, I usually have to have a little Cap't. in me:
Cap't + diet + lime = happy girl.
September 11th, 2009 at 5:28 PM ^
Where can you get Yuengling? I've been jonesing for some Vitamin Y since I moved back to Michigan from Florida.
I'm in GR, Bell's stuff can be found just about anywhere. It's damn good though. Two-hearted is to die for.
September 11th, 2009 at 5:49 PM ^
nowhere around here; we usually have to truck it in ourselves. I'm not kidding you when I say that when returning from a visit to PA, the entire trunk of our car is filled with cases of the stuff. If God forbid we ever got rear-ended, we'd be swimming in Yuengling.
September 11th, 2009 at 3:29 PM ^
behind the bar of my wolverine shrine is stocked with Wolverine Beer. I wouldn't have it any other way. I have a game day party every week and some of the guests and closest friends don't care for it so I have to have other stuff to. After a victory we break open the handle of Captain.
September 11th, 2009 at 2:28 PM ^
If you get the right shot glass you can pour in some blue-colored vodka and top it off with Red Bull. Welcome to a "Big House Bomb."
September 11th, 2009 at 2:28 PM ^
I don't always drink beer, but when I do I prefer...Bud Light
Seriously, you can never go wrong showing up to a tailgate with a case...fun for all
September 11th, 2009 at 2:29 PM ^
No Beer because it makes me have to pee every 15 minutes... and there is nothing worse than having to piss while in Michigan Stadium during a close and stressful game.
So, it's Jameson on ice at the tailgate before the game, whatever I can get my hands on after the game
September 11th, 2009 at 2:47 PM ^
I try to live up to every Michigan stereotype possible. Mimosas until I can't feel my tongue, some Pinot, and once I'm too drunk to care, High Life until game time.
September 11th, 2009 at 2:47 PM ^
Crappy beer and Soco with lime.
September 11th, 2009 at 2:48 PM ^
Jack and ice, coke for color.
September 11th, 2009 at 2:50 PM ^
The last few years I've started out with Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, then switched off to whatever was there.
This year I had a Corona with Bacardi Limon added, which was good but only proves the point that the only way to make Corona decent is to add shit to it.
September 11th, 2009 at 2:51 PM ^
If you really wanna get really drunk
September 11th, 2009 at 3:48 PM ^
I had never considered that, but I +1 you because I like where your head's at. Get a bottle of Mad Dog and go to town. I may do this. . . tomorrow.
September 11th, 2009 at 4:26 PM ^
It's so easy to drink in the morning. or boons farm works also
September 11th, 2009 at 2:57 PM ^
Modelo Especial
2 1/2 oz spicy tomato juice
1 oz yellow pepper juice
salt rim
garnish with lime, yellow pepper, celery
damn good drink with spicy food
September 11th, 2009 at 3:04 PM ^
Start off with a round of friends, about 8 bottles total of MD 20/20 and Boone's Farm. Slip in a pint of cheap vodka for vomit-induced laughter.
After that - bud light. Goes down smooth. Jagerbombs if you want to get blacked.
September 11th, 2009 at 3:15 PM ^
Half-barrel of Blonde from the Corner Brewery. Gonna be a marathon kinda day.
September 11th, 2009 at 3:16 PM ^
Depends on the time of day. If it is a noon kickoff, I do Jager Mary's. Bloody Mary with Jager instead of the vodka. Sounds nasty, is very tasty.
After noon or so, I stick mostly with beer.
September 11th, 2009 at 3:38 PM ^
Favorite drink of A Clockwork Orange author Anthony Burgess.
Mix in a pint glass one shot each of gin, whiskey, rum, port and brandy. Fill the rest of the way with stout, then top with a splash of champagne. Very tasty.
Of this magical drink, Burgess supposedly wrote, "It tastes very smooth, induces a somewhat metaphysical elation, and rarely leaves a hangover."
I can confirm the metaphysical elation; however, the no hangover part is a total crock.
September 11th, 2009 at 3:43 PM ^
Well now instead of running with one glaringly outstanding idea, I'm going to want to spend my entire paycheck on booze tomorrow (and get someone to go to Indiana for apple pie drinks).
Probably end up with something delicious on the rocks to start, then go to beer. That should get me in prime shape for 3:30.
Go Blue!
September 11th, 2009 at 4:56 PM ^
A good friend recently gave me a sweet gift: A 5L mini-keg of Paulaner Hefeweizen. I've been saving it. Tomorrow is the day!
Also... I posted this on a previous thread, but it's so tasty that I'm posting it again. I usually have a couple to start the day.
Chocolate Cake Shots:
- Equal parts Absolut Citron and Frangelico.
- Lemon slice dipped in powdered sugar (you can use granulated sugar, but I like powdered cuz it's smoother)
Drink a shot of the Citron/Frangelico mixture, then bite the sugar coated lemon. The resemblance to chocolate cake is uncanny.
