prepared correctly ( clamato , salt , lemon juice, soy sauce , english sauce , lemon pepper and a few drops of tabasco sauce ) is one of the most awesome things you can drink.

if you havent tried it dont diss it.

now, those pre-made mixes like the one in the OP generally dont taste that good.

PS. just never mix it with something nice like a guiness or any dark beers.

That sounds more like a chicken marinade than something you should drink.

I can handle tomato juice (in bloody marys) and like Budweiser but I can't see liking this drank.

All the chicks around here in LA love it. I think it's disgusting but I buy it when I'm going to a chicks place to get her boozed up. I guess this isn't a nationwide thing and more a regional thing with lots of Messicans around so I guess many of you haven't even heard of it.

Do you guys not drink "red beers" where you are from? Clamato juice + any beer.

Have drank them for a while. I like them in the mornings. That being said, the pre-canned one pictured above is pretty shitty compared to a "homemade" mix. I didn't mind it much though (drank about half of a 22 and got bored).

I've seen my grandpa put tomato juice in his beer before. He will also put salt in it from time to time. I thought he was getting old and doing crazy old people stuff and didn't think twice about it. Apparently other people do this as well. Regardless, it looks disgusting and I refuse to try it.

Are any of those about it being available nationwide?

I don't drink beer, but this sounds like reason enough to close the borders.

Ya my favourite hangover cure is a spicy ceasar...it seems to do the trick!

beer and tomato juice isn't anything new...

TJ and beer is called a bloody beer around here.

The mixing of beer with clamato is similar to the mixing of beer with lime; it is done with beers that are of inferior quality to mask the taste of the shitty ass beer you're drinking. Like my mother always said; if you have to dump tomato and clam juice into anything to make it drinkable, you need to find yourself a new drink.

your mother always said that?

They call it Red Beer. Univerity of Nebraska fans love it because it's beer and it's red.

I think it's gross.

I've never tried this, though.

ditto.. its called bloody beer and my parents and neighbors were drinking this back in the 80's.

This is slightly different as Clamato has a different taste to it and it has some salt and 99% of the time lime is involved as well. It's nasty.

Red Beer! I first drank it in 1992. So ya, it's been around a while.

 

[BoomerD]

Meh...Red Beer's been around for a L-O-N-G time...

Many people like beer mixed with "mater juice," and lots of bars serve it upon request.

I never cared for the taste, but I HAVE drank several over the years.

These "pre-mixed" versions however...I suspect are gonna suck.

Folks from the midwest know them as Polish beers. However, not even tomato juice could save a "Bud."
