Only use for good beer aside from drinking is using a bit of it while you drink it to make food taste better as you’re cooking it. That generally requires beer with flavor, not something that was shown hops, malted barley and filtered through 4 day old bread and then pasteurized and then injected with hop extract.
I’ll stick to my Flemish Sours, Gueuzes, Tripels, Quadruples, and Barleywines thank you very much.
Do you salt the rim or add any hot sauce? I haven’t tried Clamato, but if someone were to dillute it down halfies with cheap macro pilsner, I’d probably want a shot of vodka or good tequila added at the bare minimum.
Learned about this in college. The sodden sop of a professor that was the faculty adviser to the “drinking team” suggested it as a way you could keep drinking beer when you got to the point where one more beer was going to make you vomit. The Clamato would settle down the gastric juices and sterilize the palette so greater quantities of beer could be consumed.
Sorry — when I saw the post, I thought I was on a humor site. Trust me, there is nothing amusing about the ungodly combination of watery beer, clam, and tomato juice.

LOL, I’ll pass on that stuff… Tried it ONCE, that was enough!

I’ll take your word for it. Budweiser’s nasty. I can’t see adding clams doing anything to change that.
April 21st, 2013 at 8:44 pm
Yeah, not a fan of budweiser either but this stuff is good.

We used to call it “Burgundian Tea” in WA in the early 90’s. I don’t know why. It tasted like ass then too.

Adolphus Busch just threw a temper tantrum and resigned his life membership in the NRA.

Adolphus Busch also no longer owns Anheiser-Busch.

Did not know that.

Lance,
Burgundy is a deep red wine.

Interesting.
I always thought it was created on a dare.
My Aunt loves the shit.

@ Bruce – A bearded clam might help.
April 22nd, 2013 at 8:42 am
I like em too. My pub has been making them from scratch for years but these are pretty darn good.
April 22nd, 2013 at 8:53 am
At least it’s not wasting beer.
Actually, I find it ‘not bad’, but then again, I like Clamato. Most don’t

This is a horrible concoction.

Clamato: 98% clam free!

Add Clamato to a salted glass, and add a sprig of cilantro. Then pour down the drain and get a drink.

Looks like a New England version of a michelada. TS

Adding shit to Bud is just shit piled on shit…

Never tried it while sober.
