Budweiser + Clamato = Beer for Breakfast?

ok bud and clamato has been out for a LONG time now, ive had it, and i totally hate it, but i dont like clamato by itself :\

to each their own

This is called "Red Beer" in Pacific County, Washington. It's what loggers drink in the morning after a rough night at the tavern.

I was in the "shivering with disgust" category but the friend that I went to the liquor store with was in "abuzz with anticipation" mode.

Beer and Clamato is a big thing in Canada. We add a few other ingredients usually worcestershire, tabasco and a stalk of celery and call it a Caesar

There's something called Red Beer in South Dakota too but they just use tomato juice and beer. I thought that was gross.

At first look it seems gross, but then again I might like it if I'd actually tried it.

I'm from Mexico and I been waiting for this for a loooooooooooong time

well im mexican and thats one of thebest remedies for a hangover, its well known for ages here in mexico but we add a lot of stuff to it and we call it "gringa" lol yeah the female american girl.

worcestershire sauce
maggie sauce
pepper
grain salt
lemon

and a piece of celery

New hangover cure. Check. Thanks, mexicansushi!

I grew up around the border in el paso and remember this from twenty years ago. Never tried it, never will.

Tried this a long time ago and threw it away after one sip. Ill drink Busch before i drink this stuff..

Yuck...long live Mt. Dew.

Well that required some research.

It turns out that "Clamatto" is some drink that's not quite tomato or clam.

And "Budweiser" apears to be some drink made from not quite beer.

A most interesting place you have there.

I work in a gas station that sells it, and the only people that buy it are the Mexican immigrants. I dont think our regular alcoholics would drink it if all the beer in the world were destroyed

I'm from the Two Virginias (first one and then the other) and I can say I have friends and family who have been mixing beer and Clamato forever - it is one of untold variations on the concept of the "Red Eye" (beer + tomato juice) which is so essential if one is going to drink all Friday night and tailgate or get married on Saturday.

LOL Pol x...Aww, is it raining on your lil island? :(

Red Beer is actually quite good as an evening cocktail, too. I prefer Snap-E-Tom or Spicy V-8 works nicely, too.

Personally I think a chelada is like drinking seawater :S some people love them though, my mexican housemate (when i lived in mexico) swore by them!!

Heather - A caesar is made with vodka and Clamato (along with worcestershire, tobasco, celery salt and a stick of celery or hot pickled bean). Not beer.

"Clamato" is a popular drink that has been around in Canada for many years. (Heres a link http://www.mottsclamato.com/) It does have a very strong flavour that will make your mouth water just thinking about it. Once you get past the strangeness of the flavour, you will be a fan. However, the Bud and Clamato version (like all other pre-mixed drinks) would not be nearly the same as buying can of Clamato and mixing it yourself at home. It's also good as a chaser for tequila if you're so inclined.

Too bad the racist thoughts from the previous poster would sway anyone else to prejudge something without trying it. "the only people that buy it are the Mexican immigrants". I feel bad for you.

Cheladas, and their prima the Michelada are actually quite badass when properly prepared. In this case, proper preparation should not involve a budwiser product. Good ones are somewhere between a Bloody Mary and a Red Beer. The Michelada is just Mexican lager and fresh lime juice over ice in a salted glass, and is pretty incredible on a blistering Sonoran afternoon in July.

This is a regular afternoon drink in Quebec. i thought it was a american custom... this is considerated a girls' drink

My dad used to drink something like this when I saw little; 'Snappy Tom' ( canned tomato juice with chili)mixed with beer...he called it a poor mans bloody mary. Yeah...the stuff has been around for a while

When I was a bartender many years ago, several regulars would ask for beer and clamato juice, or sometimes they'd ask for beer and tomato juice. None of them were Mexican or Canadian.

I thought it was gross, but then I don't like beer.

**barf**

Red beers are one of those things that sounds...and looks gross but worth at least one try. We drink them with Coors Light and V8. They're an awesome 'hair of the dog' style hangover cure.
The canned ones have kind of an artificial flavor and are gross.
I live in Wa. state I'm a girl and I am not Mexican.
Stereotypes....bah.

Growing up in the Maritimes of Canada, I was introduced to a simular drink in college. It was formally called a Red Eye, but we also called them Seizures (a play on Caesar). It was 1 part Beer and 1 part Tomato Juice.

Tomato Juice contains fructose, a type of sugar that helps your body metabolize alcohol more quickly which helps prevents hangovers and is a hangover cure.

As mentioned above, beer and clam is pretty popular in Canada. My uncle drinks it like water.

Further to what janedoh said - Beer and Clamato was always a favourite hangover cure back in the day.

ALL BEERS ARE KOSHER!!!!!NOW BY ADDING CLAMS, YOU FIRST OF ALL: DISGUST ME SINCE I LOVE BUDWEISER AND SECOND BY USING THE SAME MACHINES TO MAKE REGULAR BUD YOU MADE ALL YOUR BEER NOT KOSHER!!!!!

WHO'S THE MORON WHO THOUGHT OF THIS??????
