The Ten Commandments of Beer with Clamato

Clamato in beer is definitely a Midwest thing, and there are things you should and shouldn't do.

Have you ever ordered a beer with clamato in a state outside of the Midwest? There's normally a lot of confusion. So, we thought we would clear that up with the 10 Commandments of Beer with Clamato.

I
Thou Shalt Be Mindful Of Beer Selection
Go with a light beer or something without a ton of flavor. Leave that to the Clamato.
II
Thou Shalt Not Use Pickle Slices
Pickle slices are for your hamburger. A proper beer and Clamato needs a spear.
III
Thou Shalt Not Create An Inappropriate Body Part With The Pickle And Olives
Just kidding. How can you not?
IV
Thou Shalt Accept Spicy Clamato Whenever It Is Available
Spicy Clamato > Regular Clamato. Always.
V
Thou Shalt Hold Back Anger When People From Out-Of-State Call It 'Disgusting'
It's not their fault. They just don't get it.
VI
Thou Shalt Salt Napkin So The Beer Glass Does Not Stick
This goes for pretty much any beverage. You look silly with that napkin dangling from your glass.
VII
Thou Shalt Not Judge When Beer With Clamato Is Consumed Before Noon
Is there really a better time? It's basically breakfast.
VIII
Thou Shalt Not Have Clamato During St. Patrick's Day
This is the ONLY time you should avoid Clamato. Have you ever mixed it with your green beer? It's pretty much a swamp in your glass.
IX
Thou Shalt Not Refer To It As Cla-MAE-Toe
Cluh-Mah-Toe.
You REALLY don't want to pronounce it like this guy.
X
Thou Shalt Spread The Word Of Delicious Clamato To All States
Pack a couple of those miniature cans with you while on vacation. Spread the love, people.
