in Japan, Taiwan and some SE Asian places, they serve beer and tomato juice at a 50/50 ratio, especially in hot weather.
I find the flavor OK, but some really like it, as the acid of tomato matches the carbs/sweetness of lager.
Hot sauce is a similar extension of that.
I like the 50\50 mix with Clamato. And just a couple of drops of Frank’s Red Hot.
I learned that from great grandpa.
