That shaky final beer at 7 in the morning before the drive to rehab.

Shower beer
This is a good one. Used to work 12h night shifts and that 9:30 am shower beer was heavenly.
The beer that isn't everywhere, but you had one over a year ago, and you thought "Man, that beer was delicious. I should try it again. But will it still be just as good?"
And then you get one and it's exactly as delicious as you remember.
I had an apple cider hit like that this fall and I can still remember the taste. Damn what a drink
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
I drink two beers before I drink two beers, and then I drink two more
"4 weeks sober after 10 years of crippling alcoholism" beer.
You said 'hits different,' not 'good hits different.'
I'd like to think all this was over the course of the same day
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.
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
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!
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.
Absolutely none of these things aren't improved by it being a lemonade, iced tea or a delicious Army Palmy
The "I'm going to drink regardless but I need to fabricate a reason" beer
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.
The "i just woke up in a ditch but still have half a 40oz" beer.
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
The sitting in the sun at the beach after a long miserable winter beer
I have the utmost respect for your beer choice but that sounds to me like a sweaty, i-dont-like-sand-its-course-and-rough-and-irritating-and-it-gets-everywhere kind of beer
Sweaty beers are the best beers IMO. I can take or leave the sand part though.
7 in the morning before school end-of-year exam beer, Germany
(just kidding, I do think I drank a lot of espresso back then though)
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.
The post beer beer
The “it’s morning and I’m out of coffee and tea and there is only beer in the fridge, guess I’m gonna call in sick today” beer.
Father and son first beer together
Also only known well after the fact: the last one …
The "I've got the next 10 days booked off work" Friday bank holiday morning beer
The "This group of friends are all moving to different areas of the country and we may never all get together again" beer
Sauna beer!
Preferably by the lake. Summer or winter, does not matter.
The movie theater beer, if you've never experienced a good movie while slightly buzzed do yourself a favor and try it, you can even pre game a bit to avoid paying too much at the theater concession.
A bit ritzy but the first beer after a full ski day is straight buzzin.
Beer at the mountain chalet patio after a long day of skiing, looking at the mountain landscape goes hard
Beer sitting off to the side in the trees with your buddies on a bluebird day.
The, "I just need to steady my hands" beer.
One time, on a trail nearby the big music festival in town, I ran into a coworker, his partner, and his friend and his partner. They were standing by a huge bush and they asked if I wanted a beer. I don’t normally drink beer but I said sure and he went into the bush and brought out a Busch for me.
Apparently they were just avoiding the high costs inside the festival lol
The "I'm not an alcoholic, you're the alcoholic" beer.
Edit. Spelling
The "post afternoon nap in warm weather shower beer"
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.
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.
