As far as I can tell locally, the red wine thing checks out. :maybe-later-honey: :maybe-later-kiddo:

      I've drank with people from wyoming. Their iconic drink is anything flammable that isn't actual gasoline.

    I can't tell which of these is the most disrespectful. Right now I'm lingering on Indiana just being "local beer".

      I grew up there and still have family and friends there, and I've been racking my brain for a different answer, and I'm not coming up with one. I don't think Indiana has an iconic drink, really. Sun King is pretty popular, and 3 Floyds. But I don't know that I'd say they're "iconic" or an important part of Hoosier culture or something. I'm not much of a drinker though, so maybe there's something I'm missing. The most iconic drinking experience for Indiana is definitely getting plastered in the Snake Pit at the Indy 500.

        but how are they different from "craft beer"? Are they saying Indiana has local beer but it's like all cheap shit, not "craft"? 3 Floyds is pretty stereotypical craft beer.

          I have no idea! Maybe it's just because Indiana is fundamentally uncool.

      That's gotta be the funniest. The beer is so inconsistent. Some are.just like craft beer but then for Michigan its one particular craft beer.

    How is any of this determined? I am fixated on Wisconsin. If it is popular or well known drink, it would have to be a beer like Miller or Spotted Cow. Which many other states have. And there is no historical tie between Wisconsin and the old fashioned, it was popularized and developed in New York according to Wikipedia.

    Also, I have lived in Minnesota and never heard of a beertini. They are just making this up!

      This man knows nothing about Wisconsin.

      This man has never been to a supper club.

      This man has never known the sweet joy of ordering food at a supper club, getting hammered on 7up and brandy at the bar, and only being seated exactly when your food was ready.

      Point at him and laugh.

          They're as classic to wisconsin as supper clubs. And they aren't conventional Old Fashioned's in the slightest. Just lookup "Wisconsin Old Fashioned - brandy sweet" wherever.

          (I also don't know what supper club you went to that could've had so many gin and tonics. Must've been Madison.)

              I'll corroborate this, my family is from remote northwoods and I picked up my gin habit from them. Brandy Old Fashioned IS the Wisconsin drink, though. If you ask for an old fashioned w/ brandy at a Chicago bar they will start making Brewers jokes.

      The national beer of Texas is Bud Lite. Or at least it was, before the recent unpleasantness.

      Shiner Bock used to be made in Shiner, TX and was only available within about 100 miles of the brewery. That included Austin and a lot of hick towns. You couldn't get it in Houston, I tried a million times.

      Then they got bought out by A-H, the formula was changed, and suddenly you could buy it in Los Angeles.

    Only the worst people drink Long Island Iced Tea. You're just throwing a bunch of random liquors together. The only reason I've heard people drink it is "There's 5 liquors, that means there's more alcohol!"

    The only things I am proud of my state for is that we have THREE mainstream bbq sauce types, we appreciate sweet tea more than any other state, and that Amelia Bedelia was written here. Everything else in SC is unsalvagable

    Lived in AK for decades. The most iconic drink is the root beer at the Moose's Tooth pizza place. Truly excellent, as is the pizza. I have never heard of a duck fart or anything remotely like it. Most people just drink beer or get shitty on vodka and rum.

      You clearly haven't been around California wine snobs. :maybe-later-honey: :maybe-later-kiddo:

      The fucking local newspapers spend roughly half their pages babbling about wine and advertising wine, daily.

        Now that I think of it, so many Californians hide their alcoholism behind wine snobbery to seem classy.

        California is a mixed bag. Wine snobs are pretty prominent I will admit.

      Also Kentucky is absolutely correct
