I generally sip the hard stuff neat or on the rocks when I drink, preferring scotch, anejo, bourbon, and vodka in that order. I also have access to great free red wine that keeps our cork caddy growing.
We do keep beers on hand when smoking pulled pork/beef, burgers, chicken, ribs, and steaks My wife and I are Blue Moon fans, with an orange quarter squeezed in it. Once it gets warm their Summer Honey Wheat with an orange quarter is our favorite, served in a frosty thick glass mug pulled out of the freezer. Mmmmm, adult soda pop. BM retired our favorite in 2013 and replaced it with some Agave crap beer. I sent them an e-mail and told them we switched to Leinenkugel's Orange Shandy. Evidently others did too because they brought back the Summer Honey Wheat in 2014 and made everything right again in our beer world.
