I had something like this recently: <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/329038/cranberry-cocktails" rel="nofollow">http://www.marthastewart.com/329038/cranberry-cocktails</a> It was a cranberry simple syrup, prosecco/champagne/sparking wine with loose cranberries dropped in! Friends use to make this awesome punch. I want to see if I can find the recipe... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1981356 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 21:52:41 +0000 luckypenny 1981356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: ooo! That's sounds good</p> <p>What about something like this <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/257971884881018229/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/257971884881018229/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1981208 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 20:47:17 +0000 LindsayInNY 1981208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: If you wanted to get fancy, you could do a sparkling wine too like a prosecco and have garnishes - cranberries, juice to mix in, etc. As for beer, maybe do a mix of lighter beer with a heavier one? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1981190 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 20:39:02 +0000 luckypenny 1981190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: yup. Hosting. It's also the first party with all our new friends and I want to make sure everyone has a good time. And that there's enough food lol.</p> <p>DH and I both don't drink. I never really liked to and as a crazy teenager I only had Long Island ice teas and corona ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1981183 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 20:36:44 +0000 HabesBabe 1981183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't do spiced ciders or mulled wine. They are festive, but kinda gimmicky. Just regular red and whites would be best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1981181 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 20:34:08 +0000 LindsayInNY 1981181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: Are you hosting the party? For wine, you're safe to stick with red and white wines. Depends how fancy you want to get! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1981177 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 20:33:05 +0000 luckypenny 1981177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I think blue moon seasonal pack ? :meh: lol I can't even start on wine....</p> <p>White and red? White sangria and red? Mulled wine? Spiked cider? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1981135 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 20:14:57 +0000 LindsayInNY 1981135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What'd you end up going with?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1981121 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 20:08:06 +0000 MrsKRB 1981121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: If you live in Brooklyn, try some local beers! Either Sixpoint or Brooklyn Brewery? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1981073 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 19:48:58 +0000 HabesBabe 1981073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: Oh, I'm all for Costco booze shopping :) Are the Blue Moon cases there seasonal? Only drawback is if it's regular Blue Moon, you'd have a lot of one type of beer, since it's a Costco size package and all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1981051 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 19:30:04 +0000 regberadaisy 1981051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fancy cocktail I would go Stella Artois. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1981050 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 19:29:36 +0000 MapleMoose 1981050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From the list: Blue Moon.<br /> My personal choice: Sam Adams. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1981048 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 19:24:54 +0000 simplyfelicity 1981048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Blue Moon seasonal pack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1981037 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 19:12:35 +0000 luckypenny 1981037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: I could do local but wanted to stick with something a bit cheaper or that I coils but at costco </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1981011 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 18:44:10 +0000 blackbird 1981011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Grab a few sample variety packs! Or if you have a local brewery. I would drink any of these but love a good winter ale </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1980994 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 18:27:05 +0000 kjpugs 1980994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I'm with you!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1980988 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 18:16:37 +0000 MrsSCB 1980988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Sam Adams is the right combo of not too expensive but still nice for a cocktail party. I loooove IPAs, the happier the better, but I know a lot of people aren't into them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1980984 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 18:13:11 +0000 yoursilverlining 1980984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For a fancy cocktail party I would definitely get a better beer like Sam Adams or Brooklyn brewery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1980978 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 18:07:46 +0000 Iced Tea 1980978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd go with anything from Brooklyn, myself. Or New York state.<br /> For a fancy cocktail party, I might go with Ommegang. If the cocktails are special, shouldn't the beer be special too? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1980972 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 18:01:42 +0000 birdofafeather 1980972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would drink any of these, but i voted for blue moon. yum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1980971 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 17:55:58 +0000 HabesBabe 1980971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: Yes, get something local if you could, like @mediagirl: suggested. Or since it's a holiday party, I'd go with a Sam Adams or Blue Moon seasonal variety pack. There's usually a good mixture of IPAs, ales, lagers, stouts, and/or season-appropriate (think gingerbread stout, etc) for the holidays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1980964 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 17:44:21 +0000 mediagirl 1980964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: my husband the beer guy just said Sierra Nevada, Guiness and a Sam Adams sampler pack. </p> <p>Or how about the Brooklyn brewery beers? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1980958 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 17:37:55 +0000 mrs scrapbook 1980958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH just suggested Stella and a Sam Adams sampler for a party :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1980957 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 17:37:33 +0000 luckypenny 1980957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: our family friends. All parents in their 30s. Professional men. We all live in brooklyn. It's a fancy cocktail party </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1980955 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 17:37:21 +0000 mrs scrapbook 1980955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: Lagunitas is DH's favorite, but it's a super strong hoppy flavor and I'm not a fan. When we get it for a party I always get something else too, most people I know don't like it. For parties I like to get a mix of beers. The Sam Adams or Blue Moon seasonal packs are always good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1980951 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 17:33:13 +0000 MaryM 1980951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: IPA is sort of a love it or hate it kind of beer (they tend to be hoppy). A Lager or Ale is probably your safest bet if you want one beer that many will drink </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1980949 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 17:32:32 +0000 HabesBabe 1980949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: IPAs are very hoppy and people either love 'em or hate 'em. They're very popular with the hipsters these days. But not a general crowd pleaser.</p> <p>Who is your audience? Maybe we can give more suggestions based on the event and the attendees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1980942 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 17:28:41 +0000 LuLu Mom 1980942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: Never had it, never even heard of it. (I'm a cheap date and like cheap beer ha) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1980935 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 17:27:02 +0000 luckypenny 1980935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol can you guys tell I don't drink ;) </p> <p>What about Lagunitas IPA? @LindsayInNY: @MaryM: @HabesBabe: @LuLu Mom: @mediagirl: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-what-beer-for-party#post-1980889 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 16:58:16 +0000 HabesBabe 1980889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: @MaryM: I MISS YUENGLING! Stupid California :( :( :(</p> <p>I'd say out of the list provided, Blue Moon or Stella would be the more general crowd pleasers. Heineken and Coronas have a reputation of being "skunky" beers. </p>
