I have been to a couple sporting events recently. I have noticed how they ensure there is little to no public drunkenness at these things.
It costs 17 USD for a so called 24 oz. plastic glass of draft beer.

Yeah, and then your wife spills half of it down your pant leg during the 3rd period.
I've never tried a "hazy IPA".
The alcohol level is too low for me.
Head over to the food thread Tony. You see the other side of that sporting coin, where your banker decides to treat you and the Mrs. to an evening out.
I always meant to visit the USA in the 70s' especially when a friend came back from visiting California and Washington State. Everything was so much cheaper than the UK. The winemakers of France and Europe in general are in trouble - Europeans are moving from drinking wine to beer but in general are drinking less. Alcoholism was a big problem in Spain and France. Nowadays there are always promotions in the s/markets for real ales.
Lots of Americans have moved to France and more are coming. Apart from Marseilles and a few big city centres things like drive byes are unknown., whereas the UK has become more like America, very sad. Since I've moved to the mainland in 2001 I have never had to be 'alert' when out at night. It took me about 6 months to realise I didn't have to be alert for violence like back in Brighton.
Spanish bars are great meeting places, like a lot of British pubs used to be. The Calatrava in Guadix, Andalus was the same as the Basketmakers back in Brighton - you didn't go for the alcohol, you went for the socialising. Granada had some great bars as well - oh well!
As a Belgian from the beer country, as it is often called, I cannot fail to contribute to this discussion.
I have seen Kriek mentioned as a drink for the ladies and that seems to me a perfect choice. Ladies often, but of course not always, prefer a sweeter beer. The best is without a doubt the Liefmans:

Also take a look at Gouden Carolus. This beer comes in many different flavors and sizes and is known as one of the best we have. They also have a 'whisky infused' for the enthusiasts.

As a little anecdote, when expiration dates were not yet mandatory on food and beverages, it was printed on the bottle that the beer had an unlimited shelf life. When that obligation became law, we saw those bottles with that print and an expiration date on the crown cap, which was confusing, but also funny.
Anyway, let us know how it turned out. 😈
