The “first warm day of spring and all the terraces on the old market square are packed but you managed to snag a table” beer.
The "i hope this time, something good will happen" beer
The "I've got the next 10 days booked off work" Friday bank holiday morning beer
Sauna beer!
Preferably by the lake. Summer or winter, does not matter.
The "it's my 3rd Mass at the bierfest and we are dancing standing up on the bench" beer.
FYI, a Mass is the standard 1L beer in Germany, in the bierfest they only come in that size.
The "stand back I'm about to do science" beer
The, "I just need to steady my hands" beer.
The beer for gurgling after brushing teeth
The "I'm starving and just spent the last of my change on this" beer.
Hangover beer
This just needs to be on the list. And the subsequent wonder of "holy crap, that actually helped" and then the realization that there's a name for that condition.
My life is falling a part beer.
The I am going to fight everyone in the bar beer.
I just got rid of the body beer.
I just saw a stripper shoot out ping pong balls with Cotton beer.
Told my family I was getting milk beer.
The inappropriate funeral beer.
Father and son first beer together
Also only known well after the fact: the last one …
☠️ My dad can't drink anymore and I already don't remember our last beer together.
The "This group of friends are all moving to different areas of the country and we may never all get together again" beer
The "just opened" beer, no matter the circumstances.
The "I'm not an alcoholic, you're the alcoholic" beer.
Edit. Spelling
The post beer beer
Similar to their concept of the post-yardwork, let me introduce "the 'miring", the beer you have after completing some DIY project, drunk in silent contemplation of the result.
Partner: "All done love?" Me: "Yep, just having a 'miring. Be with you in a minute."
Extremely specialized case, but the “thank fuck I’m done with that booze-free 28-day tug boat hitch” beer slaps like forbidden love.
From what I understand.
Friday afternoon, right after work, with no plans for the weekend.
Feierabendbier!
That's what happens en-masse in Germany in the early havening.
Everyone goes to a corner shop to buy a bottle of cold beer, enters the metro train, opens the beer bottle and drinks it in the metro on the way home.
If this really is a thing, I'm moving to Germany tomorrow
When I was explaining my German friend that there is no alcohol allowed (technically) on the campus in France, he replied: "What?! I was drinking beer all the time during my studies, why do you even study if you can drink in the morning?!"
Don't you worry, during my masters in France I was borderline alcoholic. We find ways.
It is, in some places and to some extent.
Until year 2009, the Berlin transportation's rules said "Disturbing use of alcohol is prohibited in public transportation." ...meaning that non-diaturbing use was allowed. The new rule dropped the word "Disturbing", meaning that the procedure is now no longer allowed.
But, the last time I was in Berlin, a few years ago, I was relieved to see that the tradition still lives on. I bet there are cities where it's still outright allowed to this day! But even where it isn't, it's still being done.
Plus, people do drink their Feierabendbier in parks and benches. And often simply first thing after coming home. But Feierabendbier, the concept of drinking a bottle of beer ASAP after the end of your working day, is still alive and kicking indeed!
I don't think I've seen this one specifically, the I've partied all night taking substances and waited till the liquor stores opened to buy beer, for the rest of the day partying.
Only done that one a few times but it's a damn good beer. Mean unless you just want more substances, sometimes but to be honest that's the first good beer I ever had was that beer. I never enjoyed it much before that time. Was a corona of all things heh but been up for over a day so whatever.
More of a honey lager type overall or a good stout, which I have trouble finding beyond Guiness but still got many small breweries to check out. Not that I don't like Guiness but there must be something similar that's not Guiness. Just enjoy new tastes, often more than I enjoy the actual taste heh.
Here's one.
- The beer you have before/during/after doing an ordinary thing in a day, because you don't want to admit that you are or are becoming addicted to alcohol.
The beer after reading unnecessarily pessimistic comments on social media

The "six months of sobriety" beer.
Wait...
Hey I’m just about there! 10-15 drinks every night for so many years. Stopped almost six months ago! I’m gonna have some Champaign for a very special event in my life, and a few beers in the coming months because I have ONE event I am GOING to be hardcore trashed at… the furry con my partner and I go to. Then it’s back to sober for a good while!
Medical stuff tho, if splitting a bottle of Champaign doesn’t treat me well, I’ll have to nix all the other drinking plans and just do the other substances I do at furry con without drinking D: New years sober was totally easy, my wedding anniversary super easy, very few times in the past half year have I been even sort of tempted. But I’m determined to get just skronked at our furry con.
This is just me, but I just wouldn't man. I drank for years and then quit completely about 6 years ago. To me it wouldn't be worth the risk of falling back into my old ways. I know me and even if it was fine just this once, that would quickly turn into "it was fine last time, so it'll be fine again" and then just creep back up on me. Sure, sometimes I still fancy a beer (or maybe I just still have cravings), but being sober all the time is really not that bad. It's pretty sweet actually.

Summit beer.
Nothing like climbing a mountain and cracking open a warm one on the top.
There's a direct correlation between altitude and improvement of taste.
River or lake beer. Beer that has been in an ice chest for a few hours and you enjoy while tubing, kayaking, swimming, motor boating, etc. on a river or lake.
It is important to note that this is NOT the same as a beach beer OR fishing beer; which are similar, but distinctly different beers for reasons I can't fully explain.
Hm. River or lake beer for me is a bunch of beers tied together and lowered into a body of water. Usually less than 1m is enough to keep it cool. It's a different coolness.

The sleeper - the beer that you've never heard of, has a shitty label, but tastes like the nectar of the gods. You will never see it again, but will think about it for weeks
I still remember the beers I drank on an overland trip from Germany through Poland & the Baltics to Belarus. Some of them were exactly like that. Just local breweries, no chance to ever find them again.
Last summer we rode our bikes to a pub nearby and I had the best fucking blueberry cream ale that I'd ever tasted in my life. I had just worked up a sweat on my bike, and the beer was cool, creamy, and sweet. Like Jesus just came in my mouth.
Went back a few weeks later and tried to order one, only to be told they have rotating taps and no longer had it.
The bartender didn't know what it was called. I've never seen a blueberry cream ale anywhere else. I'm gonna be chasing that dragon for the rest of my life.

"It's Friday, 17:00, you are working from home"
It's Wednesday, 14:00 and you're in the office today so beer is free
It's Thursday, 9:00 and you're home cause you're still unemployed.
That, "I just told my boss I'm quitting" beer
I love that! Never stop at one though.
I got wrongfully fired with a couple other people when I was young and I immediately went home, rolled a fat blunt, and smoked the whole thing to myself. It was amazing. (Then I got a lot of money for the wrongful termination… thank you, judge!)
Cheers
