Great point. I try to either do them Friday afternoons, when things are wrapping up for the week anyway, or early in the morning, before I get started with anything else.
And yeah, I do see beers as another option. Though the conversation is usually a bit more muddled - not a problem if you guys are friends, but sometimes less good if you are trying to learn something important or discuss something complex in nature.

Indeed, choosing between beer or coffee depends on the type of meeting. If it's exploring doing business or a negotiation I generally propose coffee, whereas if it's sharing war stories or a friend then beer is great.
