> lawnmower beer I swear, the moment you think you have a handle on the jargon... What, may I ask, is a lawnmower beer? One made out of grass?

  I'm not sure how he means it, but it sounds like he means one that is optimal for drinking while mowing the grass (or which you might imagine someone drinking while mowing the grass.) Mowing the grass is a hot activity, done in the sun (can't mow wet grass) so you want a light bodied beer that is best when frigid (Guinness is out). There is also probably some notion of mowing your own grass being something that you don't do if you can afford to pay a neighborhood kid or landscaping company to do it for you, so cheap beers are picked. You probably shouldn't get absolutely sloshed while mowing the lawn either so that excludes a lot of choices as well. Basically a shitty, cheap, refreshing, and ubiquitous beer.

  You'll hear a similar term from cigar smokers: "yard gar", a cigar that's cheap so if you drop it (or it suffers other insults) while working in the yard it's no big loss.
