9:30 AM Sunday, Giants vs Packers. To beer or not to beer?

NYRiese : 10/5/2022 11:58 pm
That is the question.

What are you indulging in food-wise Sunday morning?
If you live on the west coast, it's not even a question  
BH28 : 10/6/2022 12:31 am : link
we are used to the giants generally starting at 10 am which means you are at a bar at 930 am.
Good time of day for a Michelada

or a Bloody Mary. I probably won’t drink unless the weather is bad. Good weather means driving somewhere with the missus.
tea

or maybe coffee

Haven’t had a beer buzz in the morning in a few years so this will be a great excuse. Plus it’ll be easier getting up Monday morning and a hell of a lot better than after a Monday night game that’s for sure.
I second

wake n bake...as an alumnus of the University of Florida...especially if Toney plays!

Nope

I love beer but with respect to the mornings... Doesn't hold a candle to coffee!

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 10/6/2022 8:17 am : link
Beer.
I’m with  
RicFlair : 10/6/2022 8:19 am : link
the wake and bakers.
Absolutely!  
truebluelarry : 10/6/2022 8:28 am : link
Something appropriate might be: Bass, Boddington's, New Castle or Old Speckled Hen.
Then it'll be fish & chips for the post-game lunch.
Cheers!
If I didnt have to work at noon

Id 1000% be having beers
Beer

One of my favorite Giants Sundays in this past sad decade was the England game in 2016, the one with the awesome Landon Collins pick six.

Blondies in UWS opened early and took in the victory and then the one o' clocks with plenty of beer and wings.

I don't drink but if I did

Beer 100%. If you beer for a 1 pm or 4pm game or night game. Beer 100% IMO.
This is what the bloody mary  
John in Loudoun : 10/6/2022 9:51 am : link
was invented for. My local pub has a great brunch and a solid bloody mary. Most likely change it up to beer or cider by half time.
Add a little Irish whiskey and Bailey's  
Section331 : 10/6/2022 9:58 am : link
to your morning coffee. As far as food, in the theme of eating your enemy, brats with your eggs?

Water in first half? Noooo!! Start with a cup or two of coffee, and then a bloddy or two for the first half. Move to beer for the second half.
A younger version of me would BEER!  
rnargi : 10/6/2022 10:08 am : link
This version, it's coffee and a fritatta.

But maybe a little anisette in the coffee!
I'm West Coast  
Thegratefulhead : 10/6/2022 11:52 am : link
I will take my coffee outside with a small joint of a nice Sativa(Emergence C) won't make me groggy, nice uplifting buzz. Great for games.
I don't like my beer drinking until 12:30 before games....  
BCD : 10/6/2022 12:01 pm : link
get up at 9:30 do some work around the house, no phone calls or TV...I'll record until 12 then tune in. When game is over switch to 1pm games that should be in the late 3rd qter....

I'm a tea guy so I'll probably brew a pot of strong Assam or Irish breakfast tea and have it with a bagel. If I get ambitious, bacon and eggs. Settle in front of TV and hope my wife sleeps in so I don't have to have the "Let's go out and do something" conversation until late in the game.
I have a 30 mile MTB race scheduled for an 8 am start  
Larry from WV : 10/6/2022 12:10 pm : link
I plan on recording the game and treating it as a normal day once I get out of the woods.

Traditional English Breakfast:

Beans, toast, mushrooms, tomatoes, potatoes, bacon, eggs, and black pudding. Tequila on the side is optional (optimal?).
I start drinking in the parking lot  
cuty suzuki : 10/6/2022 2:03 pm : link
at 9:15 for the 1PM home games, but I don't start drinking until 1PM for the TV games. I don't know what I will do for this. I'm thinking about sipping on some strong BA stout to start.
I am leaning toward coffee at 7AM and a nice roast beef sandwich  
NYRiese : 10/6/2022 2:21 pm : link
at 9:30AM with Doritos and a 6 pack of Spatenhause for the duration of the game.

That's a great idea. I'll go Espresso with sambuca and bloody mary's.
RE: Japanese GP starts at 10PM on Sat & a 0630 for the Giants on Sun  
Trainmaster : 10/6/2022 5:08 pm : link
I know, right? Worth staying up for the GP!

Not ideal for those of us on the West Coast.

6:30 AM is way to early for beer for me. Coffee at 6:30 AM and and a full breakfast at half time.

It's once a year.....  
Kev in Cali : 10/6/2022 5:46 pm : link
we start a game this early, and every fews years at that. I'm getting up early, pre-making some breakfast burritos, and will have beverages on hand to get an early jump. I like the wake n bake idea also : )

To beer.
...  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 10/6/2022 6:40 pm : link
One thing I miss about posting up in California: cracking open a brew @ 10 AM & playing the 'Hey, the Giants are about to kickoff!' card to the wife &-to a degree-myself, Haha.
So hear me out...  
Amtoft : 10/6/2022 6:45 pm : link
On the west coast the game starts at 6:30AM so just stay up all night and then no one can judge!
