Ever heard of Cola bier? Well you know the Germans are supposed to be the authorities when it comes to beer. Cola bier is a mix of Coca Cola and beer, a German fad right now. Far be it from me to dispute the authorities, I'll be giving it a try!

I have mixed peppermint schnapps and beer but I have to pass on mixing beer with coke.

Red beer. Mix tomato or Clamato juice with beer.

The breakfast of champions.

Real beer, called Rolling Rock made frame pure mountain spring water. No fruit or vegetables. I want a beer not a salad bar.

My local Billiard parlor used to mix 50/50 tomato juice and beer in a frosty mug, called it a Redeye!

Red Beer was the poor man's Bloody Mary, I remember more that one Sunday that started with More than One of those

Never heard of it, have no interest in trying it, even if I could drink alcohol.

However, Jack-and-Coke used to be my go-to cocktail, and I've also enjoyed a Rum-and-Coke.

I will pass on it. if you have to add something to bier to make it taste better it is time to get a different bier

This is what Coke is for:

Around these parts the Cocktail hour was very formal. Everybody had their shirt on even in the summer. Fighting over who got to sit under the Busch sign that had snow capped mountains was not allowed. A mixed drink was a double Wild Turkey with a ice cube on the side.

With my A&W Frosty mug.

Mixing Bier with orange or other citrus soda (the so-called "Radler") is more common in Germany than with Cola, but these mixes are generally quite popular and most large breweries bottle their own varieties under "cool" names. Below an example

1989 in Heidenheim, Germany I saw a bartender mix Coke with wheat beer for some college-age patrons. Blasphemy, I said. Bartender agreed, but also remarked that he gives his customers what they want.

Well, now I'm curious...

How do the German beer purity laws factor in?

If you put alcohol in it somebody will drink it. Can’t be any worse than beer in RVN.

I have had beer in tomato juice or clamato. Seagrams Crown Royal on ice is very nice.

Agreed.

I'm a shot and beer guy. What you see is what you get.

I like Coke too, straight.

I'm sorry, but the abomination mentioned in the OP is a waste of beer and soda.

Well, the most important thing to understand is that the famous “Reinheitsgebot”, the purity requirement for beer, isn’t a law, but in the course of the 20th century has degenerated first into a propaganda tool to keep foreign competition out and by now is nothing more than a marketing gimmick.

That can best be seen from the fact that “Beer & Coke” is legally actually not beer, but a “Biermischgetränk“ (mixed beer beverage) and as such does not fall under the rule, but quite a few breweries put “Gebraut nach dem deutschen Reinheitsgebot” on the bottle anyways, because it sounds good. See picture.



The actual permissible content of German beer is regulated by a jungle of German law and EU regulations too complex for me to understand. Not much purity left, though.

In the 1960's in Tacoma, Wn apopular drink was called

"A Logan Berry Flip"

A large glass half filled with beer, a quarter glass of Loganberry wine, and toped off with 7 Up.

Better than it sounds

drank it when I was stationed in Germany in the mid 80's. I have never liked the taste of beer and thats the only way I could stomach the stuff.

Also in the 80’s, in France and Belgium, it was called a cercueil [sehr-cuy]


Appropriately, a coffin.

When I was in Kosovo as an international police officer, my buddies and I were often invited to the nearby Austrian military base to party. I saw Austrian police officers and Austrian and German soldiers mix beer and cola. Several times I saw the pre-mixed beer and cola as well. Me, I developed a taste for German wheat beer. Hard to find here in the mountains.
