Old Fashioned. It’s one with a huge variation in flavor from bar to bar, so it’s always interesting to see how they do it.

Either the "girliest" drink they have, or (more likely) a soft drink. I'm intrigued by cocktails and want to like them, but I never acquired a taste for alcohol.
In 2003, The Onion had an “article” with no text that was just the headline “Taste Acquired” and a picture of empty beer cans.
A good pint of freshly spilled beer is better of anything you can find in bottle or (God forbid) cans. When you need something fast and strong two shots of tequilas. For the winter nights a good Baileys with some chocolate.
Weirdly craft beer judges prefer cans decanted into glasses than bottles. I personally prefer bottles over cans and draught above both. Speaking of tequila, my go to drink after beers is usually whiskey water (spelled that way as it's usually a bourbon), but thinking of making the move to tequila soda.
I think it's generally because glass bottles can let light hit the beer, and hops are photosensitive (light-struck beer will have a skunky aroma and taste). Brown bottles are the best at blocking light. Clear and green bottles are pretty bad. Cans obviously block all light.
I think most of the time, brown bottles are just fine, but the judges probably have a bit of bias here on their preferences.
