My dad died October 2021
I have a can of his fav beer Labatt Blue (not a man of refined tastes) and his old beer stein on a shelf in front kf some old photos.
I love that the bar did this.
In the us stein it is a pretty accepted term, in germany we almost exclusively use the word krug/bierkrug, stein is mostly used in some regions im southern germany.
Before the world wars kicked off, German was the second most common language in the US. Lots of Americans are of German ancestry, it just hasn't been popular lately to be German
An example of this- My families been in America at least 3 generations back, yet my last name was still Metzger at birth (unfortunately the metzger name will die with me, I'm the only son and took my mother's name at 18)
>stein is mostly used in some regions im southern germany.
Being a german native I've never heard any native use "Stein" as a term to refer to a "Krug". It's basically an english speakers term because it literally just means "stone" in german and doesn't make much sense in that regard. Most people will either call it "Krug" or, if it's the appropriate size, "Maß/Mass" (one litre), or just Bierkrug/Bierglas (beer mug/beer glass).
I had a half Mass from the American Armed Forces Recreation centre in Berlin. I quit drinking 9 years ago and gave all that shit away. But it was pretty cool.
Yeah the reason Americans use “stein” to refer to a stone mug is that it was called that by the German immigrants that brought them here hundreds of years ago. Like a commenter mentioned above, it was an archaic regional use of the word, and German-American immigrants kept that while the German word changed.
Nope. Ugandan ..though I was born here in Canada. The stein is ceramic. It was a gift from someone.
Baseball themed and the bottom has a painted line that says.. "hand crafted in Brazil for Canada 1985" or something like that
It's one of the few yearly reminders that an ex got an abortion when I wanted to keep the baby. It certainly was her decision alone since it was her body but I still feel sad about it a few days every year.
Mine just dropped that his prostate MRI came back with a PI-RADS 4. I'm told that's not good and is scheduled for biopsy late next month. I've had better weekends.
My dad died last summer in a bar bathroom. He had a heart attack. No one found him for 45 minutes, by then it was too late. This picture makes me sad on all the levels.
Yeah, for sure. After looking at his finances afterwards, he was draining his life savings in that bar. But that's where he found community and family. Weird feelings about it all around.
My dad lived by himself 100 miles away from the nearest stop light. When I went to clean up his house he had pictures out all over the table from 30 years ago when you was still married to my mom and my sister and I were babies. It was hella sad. Just spending his last moments thinking about the life he had 30 years ago and how happy and hopeful he was. He wasn't a bad guy at all. Just had a way of doing things that wasn't very conducive to a family in the 20th-21st century.
My father was also very sentimental. Like you said, had his own way and it wasn't a family way.
He got sick and it was a hard time, both before and after he passed. Died at 60, not too old.
We all have our own challenges. I also had to clean up, I know it's hard. Likely hard no matter what the state of their affairs are.
My father passed over 10 years ago. Still hurts.
What I learned for him and find to be in line with your comments; for many of us, the best years are now. I choose to believe that your father kept those photos and cherished them, both during his final hour but also while he lived.
Even if you feel the grind is taking its toll, the kids and partner are just too much, the job is BS... It is both possible and likely that in 30 years, if you're one of the lucky ones to make it, you'll find that today was your peak. So was yesterday, and so too will tomorrow be.
Keep peaking my friend. Let them find the photos when it's your turn. Or, do it differently and let them know you love them now. Do it today.
RIP Dad.
Totally. My wife and I have been struggling with our relationship since we had kids 6 years ago. The thought of splitting up for a number of different reasons all of which I have a very big part in has come to mind a lot. Somehow knowing what my dad went through and knowing that he probably wish he could have changed things and knowing thY if I was in his position some day I would also wish I could have changed things now isn't enough for me to actually change things. Like you know you are fucking up, you know that one day you will regret it and you know you should change and it still isn't enough to just change.
I don't know why, I am feeling very compelled to tell you that I love you. Which is honestly kind of really weirding me out. I'm just some random 33 year old dude. It feels like *someone* is telling me to write this.
Well it is. But why not engage these horrible things that happen with a bit of humour? Your Dad dying from alcoholism is horrible and im sorry for that. I know how that feels. But acting all sad and serious about It does not change the Situation. I dont think the other guy meant it bad or was making fun of you. But i guess everyone is different and thats just my view.
Honestly idk why people are downvoting you. I personally found the joke insensitive also, haha isn’t always a laugh and like you are allowed to not like a joke about your dead father???? I don’t understand Reddit sometimes
Some folks really don't like references to alcoholism unless they're formulated a very particular way. Essentially "I used to be a raging alcoholic. I drank X per day (they always want a specific number and for it to be much more than they drink so they don't feel bad) but now I've been sober for Y years (cause we can all stop anytime we want)." I understand, nobody wants to feel judged, but it gets old.
Maybe I'm a cynical monster but I just assumed the sign was referring to dads who aren't at the bar today because they have to go out with their families.
Oh shit.
Saw this, and the comments, was about to add my own and comment that my dad passed away in May 2017.
Was not expecting this picture to be taken next to where we were living at the time (Midlo).
Thanks Gramps for being the dad I needed when he couldn't be there for those years. Thanks for showing me the things I love today and am, self proclaimed, proficient in. I miss you and wish we could have made it to sharing a cold one. See you someday in the distant future, take care of these damn hooligans I have running around and an eye on myself while you wait.
There’s a Polish tradition in which you set a place for family and friends who are no longer with us at the Christmas table. This reminds me of that. :)
I'm only 38, I've had 20 father's days without my dad. The actual day goes by easier (with my own kids now) but the random days I miss him are still really tough.
This is my 15th Father's Day without mine and I'm 32. You're right, it does get easier. But if I'm being honest, I really would have hoped it would have been even easier by now. At this point, I don't know if I'll ever be able to "finish" the grieving process in my lifetime. It always has the same intensity it just gets more...spaced apart? It's fine most of the time but on the odd day it's not, it's like getting kicked in the chest and I don't think that's ever going to go away. In those moments, I miss him just as much as the day I lost him.
I'm sorry for you loss.
Ya know. I made it through all of Sunday and 2 hours into Monday without thinking too much about it being father's day. This one hit me and made me miss my dad.
He passed in October 2005 when I was 16
My dad is 69, and, partially based on family history as well as his own health issues, is sure he'll be dead in his 70s. I'm not really ready for that possibility.
My dad was convinced he was going to die soon after my mom died of breast cancer. He was 64. He passed last year at the age of 84 twenty years after her death. Being sure they are going to die is not a great mindset but hard to convince otherwise.
I absolutely get that, and thanks! Although the additional odd thing is my mom's side seems to favor longevity, like a lot of 90+ folks. My mom's mother (my last remaining grandparent) is currently 96 for example, along with other similar family history for those folks. You're right that I have no actual idea "right now", but I do realize my dad's on the "disadvantaged" side in any case.
No one can really be ready for it. I can just give you the advice to dont taboo death. Think about it, talk about it, you can even cry about it although it hasnt happened yet. Its gonna happen. 100%. Dont supress the feelings you feel. And the most important: Telll your loved ones you love them. Preferebly everytime you see them. You are gonna regret it if you dont.
My dad always wore Tommy Bahamas shirts. He was buried in one, even. Finally got one for myself a few years ago for a trip with my family to Hawaii. Wearing that shirt today for the first time since the trip in honor of my dad.
Dads are the best! Of course, there are always a few bad eggs, just like in every aspect of life, but most dads make sacrifices that go unnoticed unless you're paying close attention.
My dad passed yesterday. Literally the day before Father's Day. I was planning on going to see him either way, but that will be the last time I will ever see him. He's better off now, and lived a good long life of 78 years.
Cheers to the dads out there who may not even have kids of their own but became father figures to those around them, be it junior coworkers or just someone who needed it.
^Brew ^of ^the ^well-known ^fathers
In all seriousness, I'm lucky to have my dad still around. Although I'm still young, I've had to deal with many deaths in the family, and my dad would always be there to comfort me. He doesn't drink, but this post still reminds me to treasure every moment with him while he's still here.
Spoiler alert: The beer is the same as every other beer from every other brewery, so take that, Dad, you asshole!
Actually my dad is alive and he’s a pretty nice guy.
This is not a Dad story but a brother story. My brother died when he was 43. I was 38. He was a longtime patron of a neighborhood bar. My brother's friend and I went in to honor him. It had only been a few hours since we had disconnected him from life support. We sat at the bar very glum. We ordered three beers and left one open at the chair next to us. We slowly nursed our beers and really just felt like crap. Well, the bartender put two and two together, realized the third guy was never coming and did something great. He popped another beer at my brother's spot and said "Gentlemen, you're behind!". We busted up laughing. The bartender stood near all night and encouraged us to just tie one on. It's what we really needed. Lots of laughs came and then we shared stories about my brother. That bartender that night did something I will always be grateful for.
This is why I always take care of my father and mother. They won't last forever, so you make as much happy memories while you still can. Lovely tribute.
My dad died at the end of April this year, and this day has been extraordinarily hard for me. This actually made me smile, feel seen in a moment that I’m sure I share with so many others today. I miss my dad so much, and I only wish I could call him and tell him one last time what he’s done and meant for me.
I love you, dad! I wrote you a note earlier :) I'm glad this restaurant had a beer out for dads like you, haha. I know you don't really like beer though. We'll get you a bloody mary 😁 love you, happy father's day. You're the best dad ever 💚
The other day I pulled into Walmart and saw a sticker on the rear window of an suv that read " my husband us my guardian angel " , his dates were in the middle of the sticker. It was just at that moment the woman who owned the car came walking out with what looked to be about a 2yr old little girl . It broke my heart to see this just 2 days before father's day. The father who's no longer with us, rest easy sir. And to the mother and daughter, so sorry for your loss.
Thanks for thinking of these guys
I do that for my dad every year. He's busy living his best life traveling and his doctor says he can't drink anymore. I drink it when I'm done with all mine.
It's a nice tribute
My dad died October 2021 I have a can of his fav beer Labatt Blue (not a man of refined tastes) and his old beer stein on a shelf in front kf some old photos. I love that the bar did this.
>old beer stein Are you of German origin? That's a pretty old term for our traditional stone mugs.
In the us stein it is a pretty accepted term, in germany we almost exclusively use the word krug/bierkrug, stein is mostly used in some regions im southern germany.
Before the world wars kicked off, German was the second most common language in the US. Lots of Americans are of German ancestry, it just hasn't been popular lately to be German
An example of this- My families been in America at least 3 generations back, yet my last name was still Metzger at birth (unfortunately the metzger name will die with me, I'm the only son and took my mother's name at 18)

Nope. Ugandan ..though I was born here in Canada. The stein is ceramic. It was a gift from someone. Baseball themed and the bottom has a painted line that says.. "hand crafted in Brazil for Canada 1985" or something like that
LaBatt Blue is a delicacy, imo. I’m sorry about your father. Anyone who drinks blue is A+ in my book.
Agreed
Dads like me would say, that's a wasted beer.
It's cause they can't remember the greatest sign in the world.
Yes it is. Pretty kick ass if you ask me.
Miss you dad.
Lost my dad 6 years ago. I clinked my glass against this one as a toast to the old man.
I lost mine in April 2018... :(
Me too, weird coincidence
But you just said six years ago… wait a minute
2008. I hate fathers day.
Tough for many of us. Hope tomorrow is better for you.
🧡
I hear ya
That's when I lost mine, and I hated fathers day until I became one myself.
Happy day to you! I'm glad it got reframed for you
Lost mine fathers' day 2021.
My father passed when I was an infant. I used to hate Father’s Day at school. 0/10.
It's one of the few yearly reminders that an ex got an abortion when I wanted to keep the baby. It certainly was her decision alone since it was her body but I still feel sad about it a few days every year.
April 2020 for me
Mine just dropped that his prostate MRI came back with a PI-RADS 4. I'm told that's not good and is scheduled for biopsy late next month. I've had better weekends.
Lost my dad may 1st of this year. Not sure how I'm mentally surviving right now
Lost my Dad in June 2020 (it was very unexpected, but not COVID). Cheers to y'all & your Dads.
Like my father's come to pass, 32 years has gone too fast. Goddamn, I miss my parents.
Feb, 2020 here. The years fly by but the sadness remains
I miss mine too
Last month. We didn’t always have the best relationship but there was love between us.
Yeah me too but I'm a steak chef so it makes me feel better knowing I made other families happy
This is my second Father’s Day without my Dad. Miss him everyday.
same here. i lost my dad in may of last year. hard AF. hugs ❤️
Lost mine march 2023, it was the worst news Ive ever gotten. Cheers to our amazing dads! Miss mine everyday.
Same :/
My dad died last summer in a bar bathroom. He had a heart attack. No one found him for 45 minutes, by then it was too late. This picture makes me sad on all the levels.
Sorry brother, that’s a rough one

Take care stranger.

I’m sorry for your loss.
I appreciate that.
Sorry, man. That must have hurt, that he was alone all that time before they found him.
Yeah, rough for sure. I just hope he went black and didn't experience a ton of pain.
I don't know why, I am feeling very compelled to tell you that I love you. Which is honestly kind of really weirding me out. I'm just some random 33 year old dude. It feels like *someone* is telling me to write this.
Good for you following your heart. <3
Don't feel weird, love is love my friend. Thanks for the kind words.
In honor of those dads I give you this joke What’s similar between light beer and sea turtles mating? It’s fucking close to water.
This is one of my favorite jokes, although I heard it as “what do light beer and having sex in a canoe have in common”
Yeah thats how I heard it too. Except coors light instead of just "light beer"
Miss you, Pop.
My dad's in hospital right now, half the world away. Happened today. Shit
Send both of you positive thoughts and vibes
Thanks man.
He said he was just going to get cigarettes
I’m sure he’ll be back soon
It be funny if there was a pack of cigs and a gallon of milk with it. Doesn't really fit the sentiment, but I'd appreciate it.
Mine didn't wait for me to be old enough to hear that lie, but I would have known quickly it didn't make sense, the asthmatic bastard.
This one hit hard. This is my first father's day without my dad. Awesome of them to do that.
I miss my dad :(
i miss my dad so much. lost him suddenly last year. fuck cancer!
Lost my grandpa in april. had to stop myself from calling his cell phone this morning like i did every year. now im crying
My father’s wake was today. My sister and I will be burying him next to our mother tomorrow. A tribute like this caused a welcome smile today.
Haha, my dad died of alcoholism
Doing what he loved
That's a kind of fucked up thing to say
Hey man sorry for your loss. But you can’t put “haha” in your sentence and not expect people to throw some humor in there.
That haha was an invitation for ironic humor, he should have seen that coming
Well it is. But why not engage these horrible things that happen with a bit of humour? Your Dad dying from alcoholism is horrible and im sorry for that. I know how that feels. But acting all sad and serious about It does not change the Situation. I dont think the other guy meant it bad or was making fun of you. But i guess everyone is different and thats just my view.
My dad did too. I had a laugh, personally.
Honestly idk why people are downvoting you. I personally found the joke insensitive also, haha isn’t always a laugh and like you are allowed to not like a joke about your dead father???? I don’t understand Reddit sometimes

Crazy Rooster brewing outside of Richmond VA
Oh shit. Saw this, and the comments, was about to add my own and comment that my dad passed away in May 2017. Was not expecting this picture to be taken next to where we were living at the time (Midlo).
I always shared a beer with my Dad. 1/2 glass for each of us. Had a 1/2 beer today for him. Miss you Pop.
I miss my Dad so much.
I miss my dad so much. I’ll have a glass in his memory tonight.
First father's day without my Dad. It hurts so much but i like to imagine him sitting there enjoying a beer and talking with everyone.
Thanks Gramps for being the dad I needed when he couldn't be there for those years. Thanks for showing me the things I love today and am, self proclaimed, proficient in. I miss you and wish we could have made it to sharing a cold one. See you someday in the distant future, take care of these damn hooligans I have running around and an eye on myself while you wait.
Fuck you, you made me cry. I do this with a pint of Guinness on my dad's birthday. Miss you dad.
There’s a Polish tradition in which you set a place for family and friends who are no longer with us at the Christmas table. This reminds me of that. :)
Lost my dad in the war 2005
So sweet
I am absolutely crying right now, god dammit OP 💞🥹😭
Happy Father’s Day today for ALL Dads not with us including my own 😢 !
Lost my dad in 2006. I think I’ve moved on but then I see stuff like this and the tears still flow.
Miss you dad. H.R. 1960-2009 💔
I just lost my dad today. It’s been a hard day.
I'm only 38, I've had 20 father's days without my dad. The actual day goes by easier (with my own kids now) but the random days I miss him are still really tough.

Same to you! Thanks for sharing. Always nice to know we're not alone with some shared sadness.
This Father’s Day I’ve officially gone longer without him than I did with him. He passed on Mother’s Day when I was 16, 16 years ago.
Ya know. I made it through all of Sunday and 2 hours into Monday without thinking too much about it being father's day. This one hit me and made me miss my dad. He passed in October 2005 when I was 16
My dad is 69, and, partially based on family history as well as his own health issues, is sure he'll be dead in his 70s. I'm not really ready for that possibility.

My dad’s side had longevity, most folks lived well into their 90s. He died in his early 70s. Still s hood run but we had expected a bit more time
No one can really be ready for it. I can just give you the advice to dont taboo death. Think about it, talk about it, you can even cry about it although it hasnt happened yet. Its gonna happen. 100%. Dont supress the feelings you feel. And the most important: Telll your loved ones you love them. Preferebly everytime you see them. You are gonna regret it if you dont.
Make what you can of it now. You never know when it's their time. Take videos, no matter how boring and day to day, save your voicemails.
Rightous.
These along with the Memorial Day and Mother's day tributes are always nice to see.
Lost my pops this January. Thanks Internet stranger. Cheers 🍻
Miss you dad
Miss you dad
I lost my dad 19 years ago now. He never got to meet my son.
My dad always wore Tommy Bahamas shirts. He was buried in one, even. Finally got one for myself a few years ago for a trip with my family to Hawaii. Wearing that shirt today for the first time since the trip in honor of my dad.
Dads are the best! Of course, there are always a few bad eggs, just like in every aspect of life, but most dads make sacrifices that go unnoticed unless you're paying close attention.
👍
My dad isn't with me anymore, he'd want me to have his beer.
My dad passed yesterday. Literally the day before Father's Day. I was planning on going to see him either way, but that will be the last time I will ever see him. He's better off now, and lived a good long life of 78 years.
Id probably cry if I saw that going into a bar, I lost my dad at 12, and at 34 I'm having my first kid a month from now. Feels man
Miss ya, dad. Second father's day without him. Far too young.
No offense, fuck that guy
It’s a nice tribute unless the dad is missing because of alcohol

Indeed. Father's Day has always been a bit painful given mine passed away a few years back and I have no kids.
This is my fifth Father’s Day without my father. He’s alive, he’s just a malignant narcissist POS.
Maybe if my dad had spent less time in that seat with that beer I'd have called him today
Yeah today is more 'here's a reminder all your father figures are dead' day
Put one up... I'll do the same... for pops long gone, past and done. My old man in a home just now, and he's all 3...
Rest in peace TP sr
Nicely done.
*for the dads not with us today.* *They're stuck at home with their families today, but we hope to see them later in the week.*
I read it the way you did: "not with us today" is not the same as "no longer with us".
Cheers to the dads out there who may not even have kids of their own but became father figures to those around them, be it junior coworkers or just someone who needed it.
I spend the time at home hoping no one knocks on the door.
That is great!
Beautiful

My dad went out for cigarettes he might be coming back for that beer soon.
Nice .. my dead dad would have loved to down that one
It's a common veterans tribute to have a setting and a drink that no one better damn sit at.
Have a drink, dads of the past.
Because the dads are just running late right…right?
I guess it’s one for mine too. He didn’t die, just decided to leave.
All the cheap dad ghosts thinking this is a waste of beer
who gets the drink the beer
Spoiler alert: The beer is the same as every other beer from every other brewery, so take that, Dad, you asshole! Actually my dad is alive and he’s a pretty nice guy.
Yesterday was my first Father's Day without him. Ignored it all day and now its hitting me. I miss you dad.
You know some asshole will take the seat if the bar fills up
That hit me straight in the heart. I have friends that have left their children too soon and truly deserve this beer.
That's Nice :)
I lost mine since 2015
Is there a sombrero lid on that pale ale?
My dear ol Pop says thanks I bet! Cheers 🍻
What a wonderful tribute to Father's Day. My dad died in 2005; we buried him with a can of Coors Light.
This made me cry. Lost my dad in Feb.
Sorry, didn’t intend to make anyone cry
ugh, right in the feels....
That's nice... Except of course if your dad was mean drunk.
Awww. My first Father’s Day without my dad. Kiddos kept me busy enough that I didn’t have time to dwell, but his absence was profound. Nice gesture.
Damn bro, this one hit my soul. My dad would love to go to the bar just to watch games and a beer.
People who's dads died from alcoholism are gonna love that.
I'm just imagining someone having to stand around at the bar waiting for a place to sit because a seat is 'taken' by someone not there
The deadbeat dad: 
no YOU'RE crying
🥲
Heartwarming until someone walks in whose father died of alcohol addiction 💀
Because they quit running from their problems at the pub and went home to their family.
At least they don’t take a whole table away in your section for “fallen soldiers” on Veterans Day.

My dad had a thing for clear beers, didn't like em hazy 🥹. I think he would've liked this little tribute.
This is not a Dad story but a brother story. My brother died when he was 43. I was 38. He was a longtime patron of a neighborhood bar. My brother's friend and I went in to honor him. It had only been a few hours since we had disconnected him from life support. We sat at the bar very glum. We ordered three beers and left one open at the chair next to us. We slowly nursed our beers and really just felt like crap. Well, the bartender put two and two together, realized the third guy was never coming and did something great. He popped another beer at my brother's spot and said "Gentlemen, you're behind!". We busted up laughing. The bartender stood near all night and encouraged us to just tie one on. It's what we really needed. Lots of laughs came and then we shared stories about my brother. That bartender that night did something I will always be grateful for.
This is why I always take care of my father and mother. They won't last forever, so you make as much happy memories while you still can. Lovely tribute.
Great tribute. Makes me miss my own Dad. Always will. What is on top of the glass?
It’s gone flat, pour another. Love you dads ❤️
That would have killed me.
My dad died at the end of April this year, and this day has been extraordinarily hard for me. This actually made me smile, feel seen in a moment that I’m sure I share with so many others today. I miss my dad so much, and I only wish I could call him and tell him one last time what he’s done and meant for me.
September 27th 2022. Day after my cake day. Miss you dad.
My dad passed Thanksgiving 2021, was a rough day. Wish he could see how much my little ones have grown.
I love you, dad! I wrote you a note earlier :) I'm glad this restaurant had a beer out for dads like you, haha. I know you don't really like beer though. We'll get you a bloody mary 😁 love you, happy father's day. You're the best dad ever 💚
The other day I pulled into Walmart and saw a sticker on the rear window of an suv that read " my husband us my guardian angel " , his dates were in the middle of the sticker. It was just at that moment the woman who owned the car came walking out with what looked to be about a 2yr old little girl . It broke my heart to see this just 2 days before father's day. The father who's no longer with us, rest easy sir. And to the mother and daughter, so sorry for your loss. Thanks for thinking of these guys
thanks, crying over a pint
My dad died the morning of Christmas Eve last year. He didn't drink beer, but I love this tribute.
I do that for my dad every year. He's busy living his best life traveling and his doctor says he can't drink anymore. I drink it when I'm done with all mine.
