Meaning
A loyal and reliable friend.
Origin
The allusion is to someone who would be prepared to stand up and fight on your side if called on, i.e. one who, in the words of the earlier (late 19th century) phrase, would 'stand up and be counted'.
The phrase is American. The earliest citation is in the Pennsylvania newspaper The Charleroi Mail, April 1935:
"But he seems to be a stand up guy and loyalty, with him, seems to be less a virtue than obsession."

The style/type of beer often consumed while standing up. These beer types are commonly characterized by:
- Heavy marketing to males
- Lower cost (less expensive)
- Higher volume (often purchased in bulk, i.e. 24-packs)
Standing-up beer can be consumed in a seated environment. "Standing up" is not an absolute requirement.
Standing-up beer is in direct contrast to sitting-down beer.
Common scenarios where standing-up beer is found:
- Outdoor barbecues
- Tailgating
- Bowling alleys
- NASCAR events
- Mowing the lawn

A meeting where the people are forced to stand, with an idea of keeping the meeting short.
Ironic, since its the manager that makes it a stand up AND controls how long the meeting is.
Mostly used to exert physical control over employees.
