So we don't hijack the other beer thread, let's talk about our favorite boating beers. In the summer it's a Fat Tire full flavored amber ale, in the winter a dark chocolaty Black Butte Porter. If things get desperate and we don't want to drink river water we will bum a Bud. ;)

I like a lighter beer during the day in the sun. Corona with Lime for me. After dark I like Bass Ale, Sierra Nevada, or other IPA's....

Miller Light or Coors Light is all I drink on the boat. We never take glass bottles with us so that of course limits the types of beer we can drink.

I have been known to bring a couple hundred syringes of jello shots before...just ask this guy (Todd - former owner of Mutual Fun)

I tend to want something in cans--but the Admiral insists on nothing but bottles--so our cooler is usually a mix of Corona or Tecate in cans for me and Sam Adams, Becks Dark, or Blue Moon in bottles. I also like 1 pint cans of Bitburger if I feel like something with a little more kick. OK--now I'm thirsty and tired of snow!

Same as Mike for me; it's difficult enough getting the boat onto the pontoon when 100% sober!

As a rule I am strictly yellow can Coors original but have been known to steal my wifes Mike's Hard Lemonaid or any of the Mike's flavored variants.

Dont get me wrong...I dont get totally trashed when we are out. On top of that, my wife typically drives the boat back to the ramp, especially if I have had much of anything to drink. The times when I drink a little heavier, its because we are going to be out later into the night or extended periods when I have time to let it flush out.

Same for me. After we are back at the slip, Budweiser mostly, with one or two of these once in awhile.

Old Leghumper? I have to find some of that just to have on hand!

Wasn't trying to be a goody two-shoes... we had a drowning in the family when I was a kid, so I overdo the safety stuff a little. Stuff happens faster than you can bat an eye.

I don't do any on the boat, mainly because the laws here in ontario are so strict, that it can get expensive in a hurry if you are spot checked. For example, you can be charged $200 for each open container on the boat. Have a empty 6 pack you are taking home to get rid of? That's a cool $1200 fine, even if the cans are in nobody's hands. It does happen too; just happend to friends of ours this past summer.

For me (back at the dock) coors lite, or a nice icy sleemans clear makes those summer days just that much nicer.

At $13.99 for a 30 pack it's cheaper than water. The other nice thing about this beer is that you don't have to worry about anyone stealing a cold one out of the cooler. :lol:
