Well, duh, I didn't put enough thought into this. I was just thinking that I had never heard anyone ask for such a mixture when I waited on them. Shandy is basically what you described. Beer mixed with different soda flavors or with something like lemonade. A shandy can be refreshing...

That's understandable. A lot of people feel that way. They know what they like, and they like what they like. The thing is, sometimes, an enhancement can be pleasant. Think vodka with a twist of lemon... it's easy to see how lemon flavored vodka could become popular. Think cherry juice and...

I think it depends on how strong the flavoring is, at least for me. If the flavoring is subtle, more of an enhancement then it might be interesting and even enjoyable. When it comes to any kind of beverage, I don't care much for overpowered flavors. When a light touch is used, it can be quite...

It depends on the type of beer. It also depends on what kind of chocolate one chooses. Generally, I've seen more people choose dark chocolate with beer.

Apples, especially tart ones like green apples (Granny Smith), salty or spicy snacks that are crunchy, and many good cheeses go well with whisky. Chocolate was already mentioned. I used to think it was weird that some of my regulars would order a chocolate bar with their drink, but apparently...

Why is that? Do you mean it doesn't seem ladylike or whatever or do you have some other reasoning? Setting aside the drunk part, do you think it's unladylike to drink beer in general? I like beer. I always have, but now I like really good beer (and I'm a woman).

Well, it depends. If you drink too many of them, yes, like anything else. Some people will also say that it depends on the brand/quality of the beer or whisky. In some cases, they might be right. For more info on hangovers, research the term "congeners." The amount still plays the greatest...

I'd have to say the same for men, @tony. A drunken slob of a man isn't any more attractive than a falling down drunk woman. Trust me, I was a bartender for quite a while. No one is pretty when they're 'drunk to stupor'. Frankly, most people are quite annoying when they're loaded. Moderation is...

I know lots of other women who also like beer, so I guess this has never really been a thing for me. I know some ladies prefer to drink from a glass instead of a bottle, etc., but some will chug a beer too. I see more women getting into craft beer as well. As they should, since it is the good...

That's for sure. They don't have to have taste as long as they have cash. I've come to the opinion that there is someone out there who will buy most anything. /shudder. I guess they are making big bucks with this creepy gimmick. If it were me, I'd rather just make good beer.

I'm sorry, but if that's how you feel then I think you are drinking the wrong beer. ;) There is a huge amount of variety. There are many different styles, and "styles" within those styles. They use different processes and different ingredients and add different flavors. I suggest visiting a...

It depends on what kind of beer it is. Some people also like to use lime or even orange. If you only tried beer once, you may have just had a bad beer. There are many different styles, varieties, and brands, and they all taste different. Check out some craft beer. It's much better tasting...

Boilermakers were never really my thing. I don't much care for the mixture (depending on what brands are used), plus I like to pace myself when I'm drinking. I had a bourbon barrel aged beer the other night at a beer fest that tasted like a boilermaker. Not to my liking. I prefer more subtlety.

Interesting. Kind of like how certain wines can counteract the richness of different foods. I imagine you use a lower proof variety for this endeavor. Very creative. I was just going to note that another thing to keep in mind for pairing is the proof. Higher proof works better with heavier...

I never would have even thought of the healthiness (or not) of this concoction. I don't necessarily regard beer as a "healthy" drink in the first place. :) I just drink it because I like it. I don't think it would taste good with soda pop mixed into it, but to each his own.

We visited a brewery and its two beer pubs (one attached, one at another location). While we missed the actual tour due to the fact that I dislocated my rib the day before we left on our trip, the beertender at the second location was a wealth of interesting information. He told us all about...

Maybe it's different in different areas, but I've never observed this. I was a bartender for years, and have visited more than a few bars, and I've never heard of it. Interesting. Personally, I don't think I'd enjoy it. I prefer to drink beer that I like to taste. No need to add anything to it.

I didn't think I would like this very much. I was afraid the bourbon taste would overpower the beer, but we have tried a couple different options lately that were quite nice. My favorite was the Boulevard, Smokestack Series, Bourbon Barrel Quad. It's (obviously) aged in bourbon barrels but...

I beg to differ about judging by the cost. Some quite decent beers are very affordable while others are expensive for no apparent reason. You also have mass produced beers that some consider imposters like Blue Moon and such (and then there is the current lawsuit against Walmart over fake...

Every Heineken I've ever had tasted skunky to me. I don't know if they're past their best by date when you get them in bars or what. I just never had one that really tasted good. That was back when I drank typical beer and had never even heard of craft beer. I was just never really a fan of...
