docholligay:

I love that cxxhey tagged me in the post asking about what kind of beer the girls would drink, ya’ll know me so well, and of course I have answers! 

Michiru:

Michiru’s beer, like Michiru herself, would be complicated and difficult to like. From what we’ve seen on the show, she likes wine quite a bit, so something with some cellar-like notes would be good. She also would need to drink something obscure and snooty, so that no bar would ever have it and she can go on being queen empress goddess of knowing everything. 

So I go with a Biere de Garde

,

an obscure French beer that has super herbal notes, and the effervescence is sort of strange, at least in the few I’ve had- almost champagne-y, and so presents really nicely in the glass, which I think she could appreciate. Mostly they’re unfiltered, but I don’t think that would turn her off. 

Haruka: 

Haruka drinks beer, but I don’t know that’s she’s specifically a beer enthusiast. I headcanon her as actually having a bit of a sweet tooth, but I can see her not wanting to order something she would perceive as too girly, or not suitably ‘tough’, like a fruit beer. So I imagine she’d actually go with a very common, inoffensive standby. 

Now, Coors Light is an offense against man and God alike, so it may surprise you to know that Coors original is my favorite “standard” beer of the common “drinking man’s beers” and I think Haruka would choose something not overly pretentious and curated like serious microbrews. It’s easy drinking and generally cheap. 

Mina: 

The beer that is currently in front of her. She can find appreciation for all of God’s Children. 

Rei: 

I think Rei would really appreciate something heady and dark, but without too much complexity. Something that really fills you up so she can just sip on it all night instead of getting wasted and accidentally kissing Mina doing God knows what. 

Stout, the best known (but certainly not best) of which is Guinness, have a richness and a maltiness to them, but there’s very much a hidden sweetness and chocolatiness in many of the best examples that I think Rei would appreciate as long as nobody knew she was doing it. Much like staring at Mina

Usagi: 

Usagi doesn’t like beer, because it’s not sweet, and one day Mina turns her on to Lambic: 

And she LOVES it, and Haruka argues that it’s beer in the same way that a dog biscuit is technically a cookie, but Usagi doesn’t care, she just likes looking grown-up and drinking from her fancy glass.

Hotaru: 

You can’t have any, you’re too young. 

Mako: 

Frankly, Mako is more interested in making bread out of the beer than drinking it, but when she does get something, she’s found that she has a real appreciation for Banana Bread Ale: 

She always tells people it’s better than it sounds, and she’s not wrong: she really appreciates the fruitiness and nuttiness of it, and she enjoys drinking it on hot days when she’s still baking in kitchen. 

Ami: 

Ami has trouble letting herself get loose, but when she does, she usually prefers something standard, like a wheat beer like a Beltian:

A beer that is readily-available, easy to drink, and isn’t among the higher alcohol content beers all combine for a pretty satisfactory beer experience for Ami, Mostly she enjoys being out with her friends as much as she enjoys any beer, though. 

Pluto: 

Pluto goes the the Great American Beer festival, and tries everything excitedly. So many tastes and flavors, all of them so exciting and new, she can barely contain her excitement, asking so many questions of the brewers, being so genuinely excited about turning grain into this amazingly variant beverage that the brewers aren’t sure if she’s trolling. At the end of the night, she goes to buy a 6 of her favorite, and she comes back with this: 

And Haruka is just like, “Uh, that is…certainly in a beer can.” But Pluto just smiles, because she thought it was the MOST different and interesting of all. 

Because we all need Doc’s Senshi Beercanons in our lives.
