Wine and cocktails- no beer?

H and I would be fine with wine and cocktails. I do know some people, mostly men, who would be disappointed to not have beer. They don't do wine, crazy people.

I wouldn’t miss beer, but H and lots of people in our social circle would.

As a woman who prefers beer over wine, I'd manage. But - men might be a bit disappointed? i'd make sure at least one of the cocktails offered is not super sweet/fruity.

Add beer, it doesn't hurt. It will only help those one or two people who are happy to see it. Beer is 'cheap' its not like we are talking about Johnny Walker. Go ahead, you won't regret it!

View Quoted Comment Oh that’s a great idea. Maybe we could do a his and hers signature cocktail. One more sweet and one less so. Thanks!

I hate beer and my DH will nurse a Blue Moon if necessary. We mostly love wine and liquor.

We wouldn't miss beer at all. Just be sure to have some tequila 🙃

I wouldn't miss beer at all, but H might, depending on the choices. I'd offer some just to be safe, but if you don't think it will be popular, you don't need a ton.

Well I live in Wisconsin so you might get thrown out of the state for not having beer here...just kidding...kind of lol, but i guess if you for sure know all your guests won’t want to drink beer it’d be okay but I’d probably get some at least.

We wouldn't miss the beer at all. We both only drink wine or liquor. Most of the people in our social circle wouldn't miss it either. We probably will only have 1-2 selections of beer and only a few of each.

View Quoted Comment Hahaha that’s so true! It’s becuase that’s where all the Germans settled and they brought their beer traditions with them. I swear beer is almost more common than water over here.

View Quoted Comment My mom loves tequila so we’ll probably have it in cocktails or something. Or maybe even add mezcal. I’m not a fan but it’s popular where FH is from.

It's a little silly to ask us what we would prefer as we are not the guests at your wedding. Just because I (or any other PP) don't like beer doesn't mean you shouldn't have it. Wine drinkers won't miss the beer, beer drinkers will miss the beer. You should offer beer.

I equally like beer, wine and liquor so I’d be cool. Honestly if you know your guests well enough to know that literally only one person would want beer, I think it’s okay to not have it. But if there’s a solid 10-15% of your guest list that you’re unsure of, I’d add in one or two beers. The wine bar thing sounds AMAZING though!

FH and I are huge beer drinkers and don't ever drink wine so we would definitely miss the beer. That being said, if you're offering a couple of signature cocktails, that would likely suffice. I do, however, think you should offer beer.

I absolutely love beer, but rarely drink it at a wedding because I feel like it weighs me down, and I like to dance all night. So I'd be fine with only wine and liquor, as would my H.

View Quoted Comment Yes it’s a fair point. I was mostly testing the waters to see if people who like wine, liquor, and beer would prefer to have the variety or if they would be okay without the beer. I also have seen a lot of useful comments from women who said they wouldn’t miss the beer but their Hs would. I hadn’t thought of that.

I personally would be fine with just wine and cocktails, but I live in San Diego and the “craft beer” scene is pretty huge here and lots of people (even women) really enjoy beer and some prefer it over wine, so it would be kind of weird not to have beer at a wedding here. I can think of some other cities where it would be weird, like Denver for example, people also love beer there. But if you are really certain that very few of your guests drink beer, then I guess it’s okay. Or maybe you can just offer one type of beer, although I’m not sure what type you would pick...I guess you could pick a lighter beer since some people don’t like darker beers like IPAs.

I definatly think you need beer. I generally am a wine/cocktail drinker however at weddings I may have a couple cocktails but thwn switch to beer so as not to get too drunk. Is it really that expensive/more of a hastle to buy some beer. If you dont think many will drink it you dont have to get too much but beer is a pretty standard thing people would expect to have at a wedding

I drink everything, but I, and most of my friends and family, would definitely miss the beer. Beer is cheap and easy to stock your bar with, I don’t see why you wouldn’t get at least some. I also feel like people may get way too drunk if the only options are cocktails and wine lol

I wouldn't miss beer, but that is always standard at a reception. I love your idea of specialty cocktails -- people love to drink something new and its a great way for people to break the ice and mingle.

Perhaps you can set up a beer by consumption bar and just pay for a few beers that some may want. I went to a wedding where they even had beer cupcakes! Imagine!? Not sure if that's allowed by your venue, but that's what I would do.
