We call it a red-eye. I prefer it with clamato. And I'm from Virginia. (When I was a kid, they used to crack a raw egg into it as a hangover cure.)

Here in Oregon, I do.....

Seems like something I might have heard of, perhaps from my younger years... but I've never tried it.
I may have to ask around.

My reading of the comments seems to indicate this is a mexican thing. Just how South is your South Dakota?

I'll drink the tomato juice only.

Sounds good!

I'm in Michigan, and I've never heard of such a drink. I am curious to try it now.

Clamato hell freaking YES and people can roll their eyes all they want.... That's a funny story dude, thanks for sharing !!

Yak not here it isnt

The Latino population around here (Houston) will order micheladas or buy the premade styrofoam cup with all of the stuff in it, just add beer.

In Wisconsin when we order a bloody mary we get a beer chaser. I usually pore my beer ino the glas after I finsih the bloody to rinse the glass and flavor the beer! Back in my youth when we had beer bars for the 18 to 21 year old we would put tomato juice in beer and call it a poor mans bloody Mary.

Beer and tomato juice was a popular camping drink when I was growing up. Wouldn't be surprised if all those premix wobbley pops have stiffled it from being popular with successive generations.

Oh no, that's disgusting. Can be adree on beer and a nice tomato sandwich?

I’ve heard of that as a hangover cure. I doubt it worked any better than aspirin and OJ.

Beer with Clamato is a big Latin cultural thing. I live in Vegas for the past 28 years and we have a large Latin population. My ex was Latin and her family drank it all the time. I find it pretty gross myself but whatever.

I consider the variant it is only the south Dakota thing. Maybe it’s okay that every region has its special traditions. However, after reading your post, I decided to try this ‘red beer.’ Even with olives. And I can suggest you all try, guys! This drink is just something. So good if you like beer but want to try some new variation. I’m a big beer lover, so when you constantly try it, you get bored of the same taste. I even started making it at home thanks to the site learningtohomebrew.com, which inspired me to do this, and homemade beer taste became the best for me. Now I add tomato juice to it sometimes

It sounds horrible!

Here's one now, with Maggie looking on enviously...

No, it's how most alcoholics wake up. Sorry,, ex was and this was his go to beverage after the first cup of coffee.

I live in New England, and I remember that being trendy in the mid 90's, but haven't seen anyone do it in a while.
