flagship beer

This is the beer that is most identified with any particular micro, craft or regional brewer. Usually it is the first beer, or one of the first beers the brewery made when they began their business. Although a flagship beer can be any style of beer, it is often one popular with a majority of beer drinkers. Occasionally, a brewery will have more than one flagship beer. Deschutes Brewery in Bend, Oregon, has two: Mirror Pond Pale Ale and Black Butte Porter. Other examples of a flagship beer include Sierra Nevada's Pale Ale, New Belgium's Fat Tire Amber Ale and Dogfish Head's 60 Minute IPA. According to the Brewers Association any flagship beer must be an all malt beer.

When we visited Sierra Nevada's brewpub in Chico, California, the first beer we ordered was their flagship Pale Ale.

One of my favorite beers is Anchor Steam Beer, the flagship beer of Anchor Brewery.

Beer Dad

The male equivalent of a Wine Mom. Beer Dads are typically overweight, middle-aged men. They enjoy watching sports, grilling, admiring/fixing cars, and drinking beer.

Beer Dads are either intensely annoyed or amused with the Vodka Aunt, and are always disapproving of the Weed Cousin.

Wine Mom: “Oh, you’ll find Paul out in the yard grilling with the other Beer Dads”

Up the Beers

A shout-out for everyone to drink one's beer; to turn's one's beer up(side down) as in chugging. Similar to the shout-out 'Cheers' but with more implied emphasis on chugging one's beer.

A modulation of 'bottoms up'.

"Up the Beers!" <everyone proceeds to toss their beers back in such as fury as to have them upside down; as to chug.>
