Steam

Steam was a slang word for beer that was made using non-traditional or improvised brewing methods, see MacGyver, along the western coast of the United States during the 19th century. It has recently begun a climb back into the popular slang of the modern day American lexicon.

Together: Tally Ho!

Modern Day
Bob: Hey dude, lets go get drunk tonight.

Chuck: Ok, I know a great bar where we can get some STEAM.

Together: Hells Ya!
