Drank red beer all through high school and college in Kansas in the 60s and early 70s. That was mostly coors and tomato juice. Lots of taverns had a pitcher of tomato juice on the bar and you could pour into your tap beer. I still like to drink beer that way.

I was thinking more like this when I saw "Red Beer"
"If we could somehow bottle the Brittany's energy and spirit, we'd solve most of the world's problems, if not all of them"

I was thinking more like this when I saw "Red Beer" Metsamies, you're killing me! First talking about Leinie's Creamy Dark over on the black beer thread and now bringing up their red and me with neither one on hand. That's what I get for not taking the time to stop for a beer re-supply on the way home from work today.

Yup Leinie's is one of my favs. I would have to say my favorite of all time was Leinie's Northwoods Lager.

I like that one a lot too. I haven't seen it on the shelf around here though. I was putting away a fair amount of their Select or limited edition stuff with the black and white label earlier this year. Pretty good straight forward beer flavor.

What I remember most about Leinie's is when I worked in a bar back in the mid 70's it was the only bottled beer that would explode when you were loading it in the cooler. One would bust and it would be a chain reaction with half a dozen blowing up. Then you'd have to unload the cooler and clean up the mess and start all over. Only beer I've ever seen do that. BTW Big Eddie Springs is a horse.

I have to say, it would have to be a REALLY bad beer for me to poor tomato juice in it. Or near-beer. Either way, Bud, Coors, etc qualify. Actually, if your need to add anything to beer, try adding 4 ounces, or so, of Bud or Old Mil to a mug of stout. Can't kill the flavor of real beer with a bit of flavorless, effervescent swill.

Interesting. We always referred to that as a "red eye" or a pitcher of red eye. I learned to drink it at the Chickenbone Cafe in Burlington, VT, back in the day. The recipe was 1 pitcher domestic draft beer, 1 small can tomato juice, a few shakes of Tabasco and a few shakes of black pepper. Mmm. Been many years since I have had one.

Red beer made with Snappy Tom was my hang-over cure back when I was single, young, and had hair.

If it was bad enough to need tomato juice I think I would just pour it out! +1

Tomato juice is a lot easier and probably cheaper for the bars than actually cleaning the draft lines!
Most people wouldn't believe the crap that can grow in a beer line. Lil 'mater juice and nobody suspects a thing!

All the little rural KS beer joints had small cans of cold tomato juice for red beer, usually served in the morning, or very late at night. We use V8 in beer at my house, served in a cold glass.
