Ed Coury Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I played an outdoor festival a couple of weeks ago, and saw a banner for something called "Chilada." It was billed as a mix of Bud Light and Clamato (which is a mix of tomato and clam juice). Well, I love Clamato, but mixed with beer? I tried it -- and I loved it! I also tried plain tomato juice mixed with Bud Light and it worked out as well. Anyone else try this? "Oh yeah, I've got two hands here." (Viv Savage) "Mr. Blu... Mr. Blutarsky: Zero POINT zero."

DanS Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I love Clamato too, but I've never tried it with beer. I've been in Illinois for the last two weeks, on the border of St Louis. Been trying some of the summery style beers like Bud Lite Lime, and the Michelob's with the fruit in them. Great summer beers, and I normally don't like Bud.

ITGITC Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 For Bloody Mary, Clamato is much better than V8. V8 is MUCH better than tomato juice. I love a well-made Bloody. And I'm pretty fond of beer too. In moderation, of course. One of the smartest things we ever did when we remodeled the kitchen was to move the old refrigerator to the basement. My beer likes to hang out there... waiting for the weekend parties.

Thanks, ITGITC, I love you too. Seriously, I'm afraid to try this recepie. What if I don't like it? It'll be wasting a perfetly good beer.. Have to mention something. I don't drink bloody Mary, don't like vodka. Aint that weird?

kad Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Can't say I've ever tried beer with tomato juice. However, I just discovered Labatt Blue Light at a band job last weekend, and I'm in love. :love: Reality is like the sun - you can block it out for a time but it ain't goin' away...

Mr. Nightime Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 If it's a good beer, leave the tomato juice out of it. But if all you've got is the cheap stuff, like Bud, some tomato juice will almost make it palatable. "In the beginning, Adam had the blues, 'cause he was lonesome.

Chris Link Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I first saw beer and tomato juice in college. It seemed to be a small town/rural thing. They called 'em "red beers". More nutritious than plain beer, especially if that's what you're having for breakfast. ; ) aka âmisterdregsâ Nord Electro 5D 73 Yamaha P105 Kurzweil PC3LE7 Motion Sound KP200S Schimmel 6-10LE QSC CP-12 Westone AM Pro 30 IEMs Rolls PM55P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good stuff, too. Glad you like it! What's Ohio's most famous beer? As for beer and tomato juice - well, I don't think there's any need to do that, now is there?

No, no, no, you don't use a good beer for Red Eyes - in fact, the bar I used to work for (many moons ago) used Natty Light.... (ETA) As to the Bloody Mary issue... Also not likely to be unique to this area, many bars only have a "beer and wine" license, not a "liquor" license - plus if the "ABC Package Store" (state-run liquor store) is closed, you're SOL on the vodka...

Bridog6996 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 To me, nothing sounds more disgusting than mixing tomato juice and clam juice (of all things). I see that stuff at the grocery store and wonder if they've even sold a single bottle. But apparently, they have. Perhaps it's one of those things that's much better than it sounds, and maybe I'll gather up my courage and try it one of these days. As for mixing it with beer, I don't think I'm quite ready for that yet. I still haven't gotten bored of regular beer. My YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
