Beer Me - DrTom & Cap'n Rick

Meta Prompt
The meta answer is a six letter word that will make everything right
How utterly fitting that two "tea-totalers" like us should do a puzzle like this. I suppose you can say we were trying to make you hoppy? This took the Captain's supreme skill at grids since the Doctor was out when it came to filling. It should be about a level 2 or 2.5, but give it a stout effort no matter what, we are sure it will be good for what ales you. Unfortunately if you solve it you don't win a mug, but you could fill one just for good measure!

- whimsy 13:43 · 2024-05-08T11:30:52.672ZI guess I remember doing this one? No matter -- I just had some fun (re)solving. Nice work, friends!
- DrTom constructor · 2024-05-08T12:38:32.610ZI think Rick sent it to you...you may have had one too many! Thanks for re-solving.
- Berto 5s · 2024-05-08T11:30:52.672ZBeer me!! Erm, maybe not at this hour of the morning. Fun solve though, will dream of fields of barley…
- DrTom constructor · 2024-05-08T15:08:06.102ZOh, that STUNG! (wait I may have spelled that wrong). Thanks for solving
- HeadinHome 🤓1:27 · 2024-05-08T12:34:37.596ZWell that was fun! I smelled something brewing when I saw the BLANCHE (Streetcar) clue, since that often clues Stella. Fun to hunt down the rest of them!
- DrTom constructor · 2024-05-08T15:09:03.038ZYou were supposed to drink your way through them...of course then you'd probably mistype the answer. Thanks Wendy
- hoover 3s · 2024-05-08T12:44:31.326ZI don't even like beer, but I liked this puzzle! My method of solving the grid is usually to fill in the top row of Across entries, then go back and try the first n Down entries, then go back to Across as far as I can. That means by the time I hit STELLA I already had BLANCHE so I could tell where this was going.
- DrTom constructor · 2024-05-08T15:12:57.191ZWell Cap and I will disregard you first quintet of words (obviously something brought on by mid week blahs) but we ARE glad you liked the puzzle. We figured BLANCHE/STELLA might be the way home, and it was!
- MatthewL 🤓7:12 · 2024-05-08T14:04:29.478ZAh, a meta involving one of my favorite pastimes. What could be better? First one I saw was BLANCHE/STELLA, and it was off to the races. Thanks for the puzzle, Tom and Rick!
- DrTom constructor · 2024-05-08T15:13:40.493ZIsn't it great when you can combine hobbies!!! Thanks for solving.
- Wendy Walker 3s · 2024-05-08T14:09:05.046ZFun puzzle! I first suspected an alternative-answer mechanism with CORONA and RING; Stella --> Blanche and Miller --> Wife confirmed it. Had to go searching for the SIERRA and GUINESS entries, though. Thank you, guys!
- DrTom constructor · 2024-05-08T15:15:29.360ZFunny, my wife has to confirm everything for me...glad you saw the tie-ins. Now how do you know all the beers so well, and don't tell me from the Muggles! Thanks for solving
- Mwoychick 🤓11:45 · 2024-05-08T15:08:21.713ZVery timely puzzle, gents - I am leaving for Germany today. Looking forward to sampling some of the local brews there!
- DrTom constructor · 2024-05-08T16:36:37.871ZI’m sure your research will be extensive.
- woozy 15:05 · 2024-05-08T15:02:32.867ZAh... nice. Bit early in the morning for this though.
- Hector 3s · 2024-05-08T15:26:01.561ZNice; can barley wait to see what else y'all have on tap
- DrTom constructor · 2024-05-08T16:34:02.709ZI’ll get on it after I close the window, there is a draught in here
- ajk 🤓7:13 · 2024-05-08T15:03:43.001ZVery nice indeed. Would have been embarrassing if I couldn't solve this one (even though SIERRA Nevada is the only one I'd drink outside of Ireland). Saw BLUEMOON / ECLIPSE while filling the grid, then briefly thought it was going to be all astronomy when CORONA popped up. Delayed going down the path on the grounds that there wouldn't be an alt for GUINNESS (even though I subsequently realized there are at least two--Alec and the records). But then STELLA / BLANCHE clicked and I knew that had to be the way to go. All the alts were quick except GUINNESS, where I briefly considered 50D, but backsolving pointed to the R and then it was simple. Thanks!
- DrTom constructor · 2024-05-08T16:35:48.996ZGuinness was the most difficult and the sneakiest; well I suppose WIFE was also pretty sneaky.
- Cindy Heisler 2s · 2024-05-08T16:30:00.455ZI should have gotten it sooner when I wanted the answer to 1D to be Stella. Very nicely done, Dr Tom and Cap'n!
- DrTom constructor · 2024-05-08T19:57:24.108Z𝐇 𝐄 𝐘 𝐒 𝐓 𝐄 𝐋 𝐋 𝐀!Thanks Cindy!
- kurtalert 🤓5:20 · 2024-05-08T18:19:06.800ZFun one! Used to be a huge beer guy... have a basement full of brewing & kegging gear that needs to find a new home now that I'm on Team Teetotaler!
- Tyrpmom 2s · 2024-05-08T18:57:58.077ZFun one. Thanks.
- Ergcat 🤓13:12 · 2024-05-08T20:36:14.568ZVery nice, tight puzzle! Thank you, guys!
- Sharkicicles 4s · 2024-05-08T21:40:14.269ZAs a ham radio nerd ECHO/SIERRA was my in. Fun puzzle!
- Dave C 2s · 2024-05-09T01:09:18.752ZCleverly done. Miller was the hardest one for me.
- Steve M 37:17 · 2024-05-09T01:18:46.270ZFun puzzle! I might have to go quench my thirst now. Thanks!
- HeadinHome 🤓1:27 · 2024-05-09T09:35:39.977ZY’all’s replies are as fun as the puzzle!
- Qmark 3s · 2024-05-09T14:49:58.317ZLoved it...thanks guys! Cheers!
- Bird Lives 5s · 2024-05-10T17:20:22.610ZMy NY City Council rep is Gale Brewer. I hope she will make everything right. I did need a nudge. Your elaborate themer clues each with a geogrphical location were successful in throwing me off the scent. I hope these were Easter eggs I haven't yet discovered and not merely red herrings.
- DrTom constructor · 2024-05-10T19:54:00.565ZWell, the locations were really to make sure people got the right beer and to make sure the themers stood out. They had no other function, fishy or not. (though with Milwaukee in the Miller clue and the baseball team the Milwaukee BREWERS I suppose it was a little eggy)
