Red Beer Is the Midwest’s Morning Beverage of Choice | Eater

"This early-morning neighborhood bar in Omaha, with a suburban false-front look, has a relaxed working-class vibe: older regulars and lone drinkers in the pre-dawn hours give way around 7:30 a.m. to a rush of nurses from a nearby hospital. Patrons commonly sip Busch Light and mini-pitchers of red beer (about $4.50, with a small upcharge for the tomato “red”), play touchscreen video games, smoke, and grab a paper cup of drip coffee before morning traffic. Staff who work the morning shift describe many customers ordering red beer as a hangover cure or a vitamin-boosting breakfast-in-a-cup." - Jahd Khalil
