Bloody Mary - Served with a side of beer? (1 Viewer)

[Thorn]

Trying to get to the bottom of this. You walk into your local and order a Bloody. Does it get served with a side of beer?

 

[RUSF18]

No.

 

[guru_007]

It's a michelada, no?

 

[Bucky86]

No

 

[Wooderson]

No

 

[RUSF18]

It's a michelada, no?

Still made as one drink, with the beer poured in. I've seen it served with the beer bottle still sticking out of course. Neither way would ever be called a Bloody Mary though.

 

[RUSF18]

BTW, I'm perfectly in favor of getting a beer with a bloody if they want to give me one.

 

[Frostillicus]

Yes

 

[D in the D]

I'm sure I am in the minority, but the Bloody Mary to me is the most overrated drink ever.

 

[Apple Jack]

No. I'm a huge bloody fan and drinker and have never experienced this.

It has its place

 

[Jackstraw]

The best bloody mary I ever had included about 3 ounces of guiness mixed in the drink itself. Awesome.

But I have never seen one served with beer on the side.

 

[msommer]

No

 

[Tom Servo]

I'll say no just because.

 

[AAABatteries]

Everything should be served with a side of beer. EVERYTHING.

 

[dirtyhalos]

no, side note though.... ballast point bm mix is awesome

 

[grateful zed]

state law says if you order at shot you get a free chaser, beer. pop, juice, etc. a bloody, technically, doesnt count as a shot, so no.

I've tried very hard to like them, because I like spicy drinks and brunch is a big thing in NYC. But I'm just not a tomato juice guy, simple as that. I can power them down, and have definitely had some that were much better than others.

 

[Disco Stu]

Not always, but it's awesome when it happens.

yep...certain days and certain times it's the perfect drink actually

 

[playin4beer]

One time.. at one bar.. and I don't even remember where or what State (or state of mind) I was in..

Bloody Mary and a small glass of draft beer...

 

[snogger]

Bloody Mary ordered with a free beer chaser.. who would say no

And while we are at it, this seems as good of a place as any to show what Wisconsin serves up

 

[pantagrapher]

I like the mini beer. It's a nice touch. If I get one, great.

Much more useful than the nasty skewer of salami and cheese and vegetables that's been sitting behind the bar for three hours.

 

[grateful zed]

bloodies are awesome.

vinegar and vitamin C help your liver process the booze you drank last nite.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I would say no to the chaser.

I love good Mary, but they can be awful to mediocre many places. If I don't know the place, I stick to making them at home.

 

[coyote5]

It should, yes. Bloody mary with a beer back. usually a 8 oz draft of some lite.

I always specifically order it with the beer back though.

 

[McGarnicle]

Place called Tap in Atlanta makes a kickass bloody mary and they serve it with a small glass of Guinness on the side. Complements the drink well IMO.

 

[Ditka Butkus]

No but I also am not opposed to drinking a beer after I finish my bloody mary.

 

[urbanhack]

50/50

hate them - it's the tomato juice

 

[Wooderson]

Clamato juice is where it's at.

Get Clamato juice instead of the tomato.

 

[Ilov80s]

No, but it should.

Get Clamato juice instead of the tomato.

and add 3 to 4 oz of a porter or stout.

 

[Dondante]

Clamato juice is where it's at.

I'm pretty sure this comes out of the water fountains in hell.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Beef broth for a Bloody Bull can also be excellent. But I don't think any of those subs are going to convert someone who doesn't enjoy a tomato base.

 

[grateful zed]

beer should be free.

Nah. If you're adding beer, just have a beer and clam. Ounce or two of clam and a beer makes for a great breakfast after a long night of boozing or on a nice sunny morning.

I find that if I order a Bloody Mary it's because I don't want a beer...

 

[Disco Stu]

The name of this beer chaser hasn't been mentioned yet.

It's called a snit (2 jiggers, 3 fluid ounces) and comes free with your Bloody Mary in the Upper Midwest. If you see it anywhere else, it's likely the bar owner or manager is from Minnesconsin. And you should be grateful.

 

[Disco Stu]

No idea if this is accurate, but it's a nice theory...

In the 1950s vodka was scarce in the US mostly due to some shenanigans in Russia. Because of this, a relatively new drink, the Bloody Mary, was missing a main ingredient. Minnesotans, long known for their heartiness, gumption, and fondness for plaid, did not take well to the idea of not enjoying a bloody mary before going out to cut massive ice cubes out of the lakes. Creatively, they began making bloody marys with beer, something that was not experiencing a supply problem. Likely they used Hamm’s or Grain Belt or other locally available beers.

But here’s the thing. The cans were typically 10 or 12 oz. of beer. To ensure ideal deliciousness of your bloody mary, you don’t want the entire beer in your drink. Minnesotans are also, let’s say “thrifty”. They wouldn’t want the extra beer just tossed out or wasted somehow. So the bartender would empty the rest of the beer can into a lowball or large shot glass and serve it to you with your bloody mary. *Cue angelic singing* The snit is born.

Can also be called a side car

Please don't insult the State of Hockey like that.

In Wisconsin, yes.
