Good Ol' Brewski

[jww311]

Kind of off topic, but was just curious as to what everyone's favorite beverage is while on the hard water.  I personally am always out on the ice with a 30 pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon, but that's just me.  And of course I am not encouraging drinking and driving.  Just curious to know what everyone likes to sip on.

76 is too old to take that sort of risk.       

Hot coffee is great, as is bouillon and a way to keep it hot or cold for a couple days is the Nissan Thermos wide mouth with the small "pop-up" vending spout.       Enjoy your passion or poison.

Nothing wrong with a good bump on the ice if that's your thing.

 It has been years since I took anything other than coffee along for the day.

If you have time to down a 30 pack, you ain't fishin'.

Lol plenty of fish caught with a 30 rack.  Not just me drinking it usually a couple buddies as well.

I like Bud fat. Usually only have a couple while out there, but all my buddies kind of count on me having beer in my sled, so I usually do. Nobody gets drunk. I like to wait til we're within an hour or so of packing it in, then beer is good for a quick carbo-load for that long pull on foot back to the truck.

I'm not on the ice to drink.  I can drink in the comfort of my home.  I'm there to fish.

Make that three... And I'm sure lots more.

When it's real cold my wife packs a thermos of Hot chocolate.
Otherwise it is usually a powerade or some other kind of colddrink that has a little sugar to help keep me warm.
I don't drink Alcohol so we never have any around us.
Plenty of ice for the drinkers away from where I am at.To each his own though I am not telling you not to drink.

Four. Just coffee for me. The same goes for my usual fishing buddies.

nothing wrong with a few bratts cooking on the mr heater and few brewhas , when action slows down , kinda hard when bites hot ,,, BUD LT

I don't understand why some of you are making it seem like drinkin a few beers when fishing is a crime...no shame here beer is a beautiful thing.

[deerhunterkyle]

I like PBR, but this year yeungling is available in CT. that may change.

[upnortfishing]

Always bring water, sometimes coffee but my stanley thermos struggled last year to keep it hot. Occasionally like to enjoy a good, sweet fruity wine mostly thanks to a fishin buddy who makes it.

It seems like the larger the group we have on the ice the more each person drinks, there is usually at least 1 time in the season where it's more of a party on the ice than about the fishing. Tip-ups make this pretty easy as we stand around the grill or the cooler swapping stories and jokes while we wait to see the next flag fly.

Nothing wrong with enjoying some adult beverages on the ice as long as you stay respectful. No one wants to see the drunk cruising around in his truck, cursing in front of kids, or generally making a fool of themselves. If you can enjoy your alcohol responsibly the ice is as good of a place as any for it.

Just remember to keep safe I know when I'm walking on 3" this coming week I will be sober as a judge and expect my buddy to be as well.

Au contraire !    No law broken, at least a written law.      Just a simple fact of the way a carbon oxygen heat engine operates.  Basically that's our bodies and the science involved.

Simple logic !

Ethel is no lady and it cools the core temperature.

Simple logic, again !

Don't you feel smarter, knowing the truth ?       No need to respond, just enjoy, until she gets you, ha.




Upnort, I see you didn't check the hyperlink, posted above, in re: NISSAN THERMOS.  Two days, sitting on the ice and it'll still SCALD yer tonsils. lol

Just never mind how much stock we own in coffee.     

[wolffpack08]

Busch light here.    It's cheap and it's what 90% of people around drink so when I go to someone's house and they offer a beer it's my normal brew.

[Polekat40]

Fireball.

A mod had fun on this thread, too.       

[jww311]

Fireball lol.....that is some good stuff right there.  Anyone every drink Hacker-Pschorr??? On or off the ice just in general....A fine quality ale it is. Had a date with it last night its my new favorite all time beer....Sooo good, it's like a meal in a glass.

Those Germans make some darn good stuff

Quit drinking soda a couple years ago, but on the long nights fishing for burbot I do bring a couple Mountain Dews along as well as instant coffee with French Vanilla creamer. Plenty of bottled water, keeping hydrated helps your body generate heat.

[rbodo1969]

I'll usually bring a six pack if I'm going to be out all day but I usually stay on the move working a series of holes so don't usually get to drink more then two maybe three and they usually freeze up before I get the whole can gone now sitting on a river bank fishing for cats all night might call for a thirty pack if there's two or three of ya
