"I'm gonna go with Natural Light."

(Sam Gehrke)

"I'd be a gose, because I'm lightly sweet but a li'l bit salty."

(Sam Gehrke)

(Left) "Coors Light, 'cause it's cool, but cool like when the mountains on the can are blue 'cause then you know it's real cool." (Right) "I don't really drink that much, so I'll go with what he said, ha ha."

(Sam Gehrke)

"A cider, because I'm crisp and people like me. I'm easy to get along with but still strong enough to hold my own."

(Sam Gehrke)

(Left) “Probably just my favorite beer, Breakside IPA.” (Right) “Room temperature Coors Light…[laughs] ’cause I’m from Colorado.”

(Sam Gehrke)

"A session IPA, because I'm small, but I pack a big punch."

(Sam Gehrke)

"A Belgian beer, since I'm from Belgium. To focus it in a bit—probably a tripel or a Duvel since there are a ton of types."

(Sam Gehrke)

"I would be a blueberry pale ale. A little lighter in body but with a very mild blueberry back with some color and a little citrus that brings out some brightness in the base."
