Grrr, only one state has a decent beverage.  Alabama and their fine whiskey.  Everyone else has nice healthy BORING "milk".  That's lame.   I need to lobby for something more impressive.   :mad:

None for Colorado?  Feh...  

Would have be either Coors beer, or up around Boulder Celestial Seasoning's herbal teas.

'Cause nothin's more exciting than having an official state beverage!

Celestial Seasoning's herbal teas.

I hate that "herbal" crap.  It's like muddy water, if it has any taste at all.  'Course we true patriots do enjoy hot tea, so long as it's not from the King's lackeys.   =)

Nothing for Nevada, but my guess is if we had one it'd involve liquor of some sort...probably whiskey.

You've been drinking the wrong stuff then. 

Michigan doesn't have one, but it's gotta be water.  We've just got so much of the stuff, y'know?

Texas should be either strong, dark-brewed sweet iced tea or Dr. Pepper....

...or, in the hard stuff, Shiner Bock (bleeech :P ) or tequila....

...Texans are not known for their great taste in beers....  =|

I was kind of surprised that the Busch family had lobbied to get Budweiser named the official beverage of MO.  

I guess it makes sense that AZ doesn't have one.  We're an awful lot of desert.

Hmm, none for Michigan, but we do have a state tree:

I think Wisconsin should switch from moo juice to Spotted Cow.

Texas doesn't have one.

So, I'm going to nominate one:
"Water out of a muddy hoof print."

(Watch True Grit as to why.)

Muddy hoofprint.  =D

D'oh, Fistful Savalas beat me to the punch!

You are to be pitied.

Meanwhile, I'll go for two scoops of vanilla.

Beer should be the Texas state beverage - after all, the most famous last words in Texas, inscribed on many a Texas tombstone, are "Hey Bubba, hold my beer and watch this."

(Milk is Wisconsin's state beverage? What's their state motto? Smell Our Dairy Air?)

Huh, never tried that. I prefer mine dry and ice cold. Fortunatly it seems as if all the nasty, alco-pop like ciders seems to be pushed out by the real stuff over here. Heck, I got my brother over to drinking real cider instead of the icky-sweet girly stuff :cool:.

Never tried. Tried Strongbow's. Didn't like. Tried Hardcore. Meh. Tried a few other English brands that I don't remember much of, but I guess my opinion of it was favourable, since the bottle got emptied. I usually buy Kivik's Pear Cider, or occasionally their apple cider. Good stuff. I've wanted to try more brands though. I've heard much good about the French brands.
Title: Re: Your official state beverage.
Post by: Cromlech on September 28, 2009, 04:33:00 PM
Strongbow, Blackthorn, Woodpecker et al are not proper cider, so I can see why you wouldn't have liked it.
My friend avoids them all if possible, though he will settle for Blackthorn if he needs to.

It's surprising that Texas, my adopted home, doesn't have a state beverage, though I agree with coppertales it would probably be Bud Light.:rolleyes:  It's even more surprising that my birth state, Alabama, home of many counties still dry by law, chose a darn fine sipping whiskey.
