Stella/V-8

What is the Stella and V-8 Ratio? 2 parts Stella to 1 Part V-8. Seems like an awfully nice beer to dilute with V-8... Maybe a Rolling Rock and V-8.

I never understood the attraction to beer n juice. I tought it was just a couple oz's of juice at most.

Stella is an export which is marketed to the hilt. Although it doesn't go for every export, it's not the best it's country can do. I wouldn't rate it top shelf.

ratio for me: 1/4-1/3 a can (10 oz)of V8 to one beer. One can of V8 yields about 3 or 4 red beers for me.

Note: After my hairy weekend, I've totally learned a lesson. If ordering a red beer in the bar, make damn sure they are bringing you VIRGIN bloody mary mix (or V8) and not a fully loaded bloody mary! It was good but they knocked me down for the count when I was supposed to be the POD!

i don't think Stella would work very well for Red beers. Of course, I don't really care for Red beers at all, but if you're going to make them I suggest:

2 no more than 3 ounces of tomato/clamato juice to
about 10 ounces of beer.
Adjust as needed to your drinking vessel of choice.

V8's too thick for my red beer taste. I like Clamato and something lite and cheap like Bud or Coors Light. Its a pretty good hangover cure, for when you gotta drink again but you don't feel like it yet. It'll get you right back on the train.

Instead of putting expensive tomato juice in an expensive Beer that isn't even very good, try buying a good Beer and skipping the tomato juice altogether, or maybe save it for Bloody Marys. That's my suggestion.

I remember drinking them up in boise and they did seem to help hangovers.

The only time I enjoy a red beer is with a hungover breakfast. For that occasion I think a pint glass, filled with a 12oz beer and enough tomato juice to fill the glass is good. Throw in a little tabasco too. Or a lot. I use Grolsch for this, my regular pilsner.
