Shot and a beer?

[53' Stude]

Talking to my grandpa back when he was alive he said most guys did this. He worked in the coke ovens/coal mines. He said in area he and I grew up it was a “Imp and a Iron” or (imperial whiskey and Iron City) beer


Me personally: it’s a Guinness and a shot of Jim Beam

OT: Bear walks into a bar and says to the bartender, "I'll have a shot..................................................................and a beer"

The bartender asks "Why the big pause?"

Bear says "I' don't know; i was born with them."

Shiner and WhistlePig 10 is also a fair pair.

I'm too old for downing shots of hard liquor. I prefer to sip it.

I'm not that old (32) and prefer to take my time on liquor as well, especially since the good stuff cost money!

Proper 12 and a Six Mile Bridge red ale.

I guess my heritage has been shining through as of recent.

Grew up in NW Pa, had a teacher in high school in the 70s who grew up in da 'Burgh. His family worked in the mills and he worked summers there during college. He said at the noon whistle many guys would hit the gate at a run/trot to their favorite nearby bar where the bartenders would have Imp and Irons lined up down the bar. The guys would rush in, put money on the bar and down 1 to 3 I&Is then trot back to the mill before the next whistle blew. There was a name for that lunch but I forget it. Thanks for the memory.

Before I quit alcohol this was my favorite combo. Bushmills would work as well lol

Winter: Gunnis/Jamesons (1, 2 X wk. 2 each)
Summer: 100% ginger brandy/Ayinger Lager Hell ( 3 X wk. 2, 3 each)

I can honestly say some adult beverages have a certain enjoyable effect on my palate but projectile vomiting ensues after the second sip. Alcohol and I sadly do not get along.

Hold the beer!

my polish grampa was a carpenter in wmass. his shot and a beer was just about any brand offered but if he was buying it was four roses whiskey and ballantine ale.

twenty years ago i was drinking poktangju (“atomic bomb”) in korea: a shot glass of whiskey is dropped into a mug of beer. one drains the whole thing at one shot, then rattles the glasses to show empty. repeat. no more for me.

Most bar orders for "a shot and a beer" are not for the good stuff. It is a waste IMO to do a shot of the good stuff!
