10am beer ranking -- by acceptability

Smacktard · 2025-09-12T07:55:07+0100

How would you rank 10 am beers according to how acceptable they are? Feel free to indicate a cut-off point where you feel like they are not quite acceptable.

Here's my list. Feel free to add any you feel are missing:

Layover beers
Camping beers
Wedding beers
Birthday beers
Festival beers
Getting off of night shift
Travel beers
Hiking beers
Sports game beers (in-person)
Beach beers
Holiday beers
Sports game beers (televised)
Checking out of hotel and you still have a beer or two left beers
------cut-off------
Weekend beers
Weekday beers

Shower beer

Needs more context. Weekday shower beer? Sad. Weekend, pre-party shower beer? Glorious.

Cole · 2025-09-12T18:29:48+0100

where can I rank "I don't like beer" on your beer list?

Evening shower beer means you’re an alcoholic and can’t stop at the end of the day

Morning shower beer, as long as you are not drinking before going to work means you are free and relaxed and anything goes

You just need to find a beer you like. You've probably tried a handful of the standard pisswaßer lagers and/or some overly hoppy IPAs and/or Guinness from a can and decided beer isn't for you. There's so many flavors out there! You can't hate them all!

You have now convinced me to make drinking beer a part of my pre-work routine.

Shame about where I live, though.

What about "still drunk from last night" beer

That's a good one. Did you sleep in-between? Are you drinking with friends, or alone? All of these questions affect the calculus.

Its been quite a few years, but for me it would always have been with friends, and usually with sleep

while I haven't claimed to try a ton, @The Eye in the Sky! will tell you that I often try all of his drinks when we're together. I am not much of a drinker, I prefer hard liquor when I do, but its not often. i have *never* liked a single beer. I don't even like the smell. it would have to be beer so perverted that you cant even call it beer anymore for me to do anything more than sip on it.

I will count cider as beer for situations like this. How do you feel about cider?

I guess the only beers you ought to try them would be sours (Liefman's is nice), pastry stouts (Prairie Artists Ales are always top tier), or whisky barrel aged stouts, since you like hard liquor.

Scotch Ales too

You just reminded me -- maybe a good smoked beer, too! (Hard to find tho)

Cole · 2025-09-12T21:23:41+0100

I think beers just not me fellas.

Over here European soccer /football sometimes is early, some pubs have breakfast and a good oatmeal stout goes well

Also if you're west coast watching east coast games

#1 should be getting off 3rd shift beers

The Eye in the Sky! · 2025-09-13T01:13:45+0100

My favorite 10am beer is the one on Saturday to start a week off from work. It's acceptable to ring in the time off with a nice breakfast beer.

Does "Sports game beers (in-person)" mean playing, or watching?

Who the fuck are you watching at 10am? Children?

Smacktard · 2025-09-13T06:26:11+0100

Presumably the people playing at 10am who are also drinking beers

Make your own list tho, damn

But yes I'll add bday, good call

Smacktard · 2025-09-13T07:03:34+0100

I also added "checking out of a hotel and you still have a beer or two left beers" because that's what I'm doing right now

Benzine · 2025-09-13T07:35:04+0100

Why isn't Tuesday on your list?

Benzine · 2025-09-13T07:35:56+0100

What about getting your moneys worth out of a real estate who dared try to meet you before 10am instead of at beer time?
