[xrayzebra]

Mostly beers that have a color between pale ale and stout... Yuengling is my EDB (every day beer,) otherwise I tend toward UK products or their American microbrew equivalents. Pale ales, bitters (which is nearly impossible to find here,) porters, stouts, Scottish ales, Belgain abst or abbey ales.

I'll also drink almost ANY beer when deprived of the above. National Bohemian, and non-light Anheiser Busch product, Heineken, etc. I don't like "lights," but will drink 'em in a pinch. I do not touch Miller products except Killian's.. oops, no, that's Coors product. No Miller, no Pabst, no Schlitz.

Wine... I love a fruity German white wine like a Zeller Schwarze Katz, or the higher grade Liebfraumilch and other varieties. Any Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, etc. unless it's really nasty. Reds - Merlot and similar.

Tequila and Irish, Scotch if it is top notch single malt - no cheap scotch. Bourbon, American and Canadian whiskeys... it's all good, but I don't usually drink hard liquor beyond one drink. Too hard on the body and brain.

NOTHING with artificial flavors, milk, or fruit juice, except maybe orange or like juice with tequila.

[BigJim]

Islay Single malt scotches.

Ice Cold Crisp quality pilsners.

[spaceinvader]

Miller Lite POUNDERS! I'm not in this one, some one had to take the picture...

[Peter Lezard]

Stout
Double Bock
Various other gnarly brews...

Red wine...I'm drinking some now... :)

[desmodus]

i forgot to mention my beer of choice because it's been so long since i had it:
guiness, but it is not vegan friendly...

[desmodus]

I'll bring a bottle of wine and be right over to save you! :madaddy:

you are most welcome to try and help me, but the problem i have is NOT drinking the stuff. i am SO in love with it right now. you could help by getting the olives for me though.

Girl are you crazy? That is the kind of help I was offering in the first place! :bwah:

[dfarmerknives]

Vodka....and cranberry juice

My beer is Sam Adams light.

[rudechuck]

All of the above.

[marypalooza]

I rescind my previous statement of wine only.

Now I want a beer. :devilzide I want it to be really hot outside and on the beach. I don't drink beer often, but I love it in the summertime.

[Boogerball]

Newcastle used to be my favorite, but I think I enjoy drinking silver bullets the most...

but its been over 3 years since i had one.

[SZiehr]

My favorite:

rum, tonic, splach of coke and some lime. Not sure what it's called.

[Drivetech]

Beer: I like Leinenkugals, Youngling when I can get it, Lasko Pivo (Slovenian), Singha (Thailand), Smithwicks, Moosehead, Guiness, Becks, Pilsner Urquell (Czech), Dos Equuis. Dark beers and ales rock, but lagers and pilsners are good, too...

I like wine, mostly red, and I'm not real picky about it. I do like it to at least have a cork, though...

Bourbon is good, Buffalo Trace and Wild Turkey, and George Dickel tennesy whisky is good, too.
And single malt scotchs, hard to beat sometimes!

[MJ]

I like Belvedere vodka. w/splash o tonic water, twist o lime

I like Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, if I do drink beer. Which is rare. I don't see much point in beer period to be honest. I prefer liquor or wine.

Some wines. Depends on my mood.:jdsmokin:

[Drivetech]

Newcastle, almost forgot about that one! Shit, forgot to add Guiness, too...
Shamefull, I know... :jduh:

[silenthunterstudios]

Woodchuck draft cider amber flavor

Twisted Tea

Keystone Light on rare occassions(Kmart Coors Light)

Jack Daniels on a cold night only

any peppermint schnapps in the wintertime

I'm a sucker for mixed drinks, my current favorites are "sex on the beach" and "orange crush"

whiskey sours

I used to like Smirnoff Triple Black and all the Mikes flavors, except now I can't handle the high sugar content

sometimes fruity wines, if thats all there is

my drink of choice used to be diet coke and rum, then diet sprite and rum. I bought a lot of coconut rum, started putting a dash of diet sprite in the cup with the rum after a while

[Parker]

I'm really partial to Fuller's London Pride - closest thing to a trip to London for $2.50 a pint. I opened a couple, watched Layer Cake and my wife got to ogle Daniel Craig. What else is could I ask for?

In the summer I really enjoy Silver Bullet, in the winter, I love Newcastle's, Smithwick's, London Pride, Fuller's 1845, things along that line.

I also have a fondness for Theakson's Old Peculiar, Fuller's London Porter or Flying Dog Gonzo Porter. These three really have a taste of meat to me and I enjoy a steak and brew. This one fullfils both requirements at once!

I really cannot do Stouts any longer, "beers" that dark tend to leave me with bad hang-overs, but it's been several years since I drank enough of them to put me under in the first place.

As for wines, maybe another post, with a trip to the cellar being in order, but if you run across a bottle of Linne Calodo Problem Child or Sticks and Stones, you are in for a genuinely happy treat. Even folks who sneer at the swirl, sniff and swig crowds dig on these wines, but they are genuinely hard to find, being that the vineyard produces about 500 bottles a year of each - instead of thousands of cases.....

Also, if you can find some Hunt Cellars Rhapsody in Red, it is fantastic stuff and not so pricey - about $30 a bottle.

Finally, the Brits have it really right about their Ginnin Tonnyx - I prefer either Saphire, Boddles, or Tanqueray 10 and Schweppes Tonic Water, and I truly enjoy this with both a lemon and a lime present. WE have no malaria in Chicago, but I have it on good authority (my own) that this also prevents scurvey and West Nile (I have neither scurvey nor West Nile)

If you want to go Russian, Stoli Orange and soda with a lemon and lime is very refreshing in the summer after a hard workout and also makes the bumps and bruises irrelevant.

[Rcbalt2]

If I'm in the mood to drink I go with bourbon, buffalo trace is my current favorite. If I just want something cold and refreshing I go with Bud heavy, or Newcastle.

[stephanfowler]

I'm really easy going, Ill take anything thats not Mass produced American (with the occasional exception of miller lite if im DESPERATE)

my flavor of choice is Guiness (bottles please), or a good red wine (Casillero de Diablo preferably).

scotch (neat) lephroaig if possible
vodka on the rocks with either 7up or cranberry, or just a dirty martini (olives and blu cheese) - smirnoff is fine but i loves me some belvedere

i dont usually do tequila but exceptions have been known to occur.

[dee]

"Freezer cold" vodka....neat in a frosted glass.....soooooo smooth.

I like unflavored vodkas, but the lime and orange flavored ones are nice for a change.....but always cold and neat.

[Parker]

I like wine, mostly red, and I'm not real picky about it. I do like it to at least have a cork, though...



Just so you know, some of the better vineyards are not only going to the synthetic corks, some are even using screw-top bottles for some very nice and surprisingly priced wines.

Bonnny Doon, out of Santa Cruz CA, offers both synthetic corks or screw-tops and at good price points. I used to really love their Cardinal Zin, which was illegal to sell in Cincinnati as the bottle depicted a Catholic Cardinal as a caricature ala Ralph Steadman.

Speaking of Steadman, when he was not inking illustrations for Hunter Thompson, he wrote a nice book on fine wine and has done illustrations for Flying Dog Brewery as well as a fantastic Syrah named Monte's Folly.

[desmodus]

you know, i'm just finishing Steadman's lastest book on his experieces with Dr. Thompson. i definitely recommend it.

btw, it's called 'the joke's over'.

Synthetic corks don't bother me too much, and was mostly thinking about stuff like Boone's that use caps... :spin:

There is something about any woman who wears a Tiffany's choker which just makes me want to commit wanton sins with her right there and then.

There's also something about them which universally screams back "So What Are You Waiting For Already?"

At the moment, my favorites are:

Full Sail Session lager
Guinness in the draught bottle
Budweiser in a can (I think it brings back memories of being 14 again)
Modelo Especial
Any of the Flying Dog line
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, or most pale ales or IPAs for that matter

Fighting Cock or Bulleit bourbon (with a little water only)

Mead (homemade)

[desmodus]

gin and a handful of olives please. i don't give a shit if there's any vermouth, i just want the gin and olives.

[Mr.LaBella]

Fighting Cock

DON'T FIGHT IT! Beat it like it owes you money!:ropeman: :ropeman:

:bot:

Ahem* I :heart: beer!

[johns]

I live in Massachusetts so it has to be Sam Adams - I like their ale and the black larger best.
Oh and B&B is pretty good on those real cold nights.

[STEELWHORE]

Steinlager.....New Zealands finest

[maui4lowry]

hmm lets see in beers I really enjoy negro modelo, boddingtons especially there pints, san lucas special lager, and have been hearin about this delirium noelle from belgium I am tryin to get my hands on

In the hard stuff...... absinthe......shit who am I kiddin I wish I could have that

[Slick]

VODKA - straight from the freezer... :wes:

[Guillermo]

PBR, tequila, Guinness and Sailor Jerrys rum.

[Mr Yarrow]

Well, lager wise I am as they say pretty easy, I like most stuff thats cold and amber, Stella Artois and 16164 are good when I have cash, Fosters when I dont.

Am quite fond of this at the moment;

http://www.cobrabeer.com/press/images/stories/events/Selfridges/self01.jpg

Its the only double brewed Indian lager - 8% :deadevil: But its still smooth and enjoyable :madaddy:

I also like vodka, melon or peach schnapps on the rocks.

If its a cocktail, my personal favourite is my own creation, called the Jack-Hammer;

1 measure vodka
1 measure white rum
0.5 measure white tequilla
2 parts orange juice
1 part pineapple juice
Dash of grenadine or creme-de-casis

The General can attest to its smooth and refreshing taste, great for summer parties :kingkaxt:

Rgds

[Mr Yarrow]

My favorite:

rum, tonic, splach of coke and some lime. Not sure what it's called.

Siounds like a Cuba Libra, but that doesnt normally have the tonic in it...cant stand tonic myself :jdvomit: , so prefer the original :ssmile:

[watercrawl]

I think it's somewhat regional, but I love Boulevard Wheat. In general I prefer the wheat beers.

Other than that:
Corona on a hot as hell day
Margarita's made with Patron (expensive so not very often)
Fat Tire (regional?)

[Kal El]

Well, I haven't really met an adult beverage I didn't like! Favorite beers are: Moosehead, Sleeman Cream Ale, Alexander Keith's IPA, at the moment. Since I moved to Toronto, I have really been enjoying the beers of Canada...even if they are outrageously focking expensive here!

watercrawl, I believe Fat Tire and all the New Belgium Brewery's stuff is regional. I don't think that they pasturize their beer, so they only ship to a radius so far away because it should be kept cold. Also, love that Boulevard Wheat from my home town in Kansas City, in the summer especially.

[Fenlore]

Oh, I would have to go with Beck's, thought I do love most all beer... except for mexican beer.

visit me out here in saskatoon some time, it is a ways away but the beer is alot cheeper here than it is out the ontario, and quite possibly better quality... just give me advance notice of course.

[MarieLaveau]

All right, y'all just find a five gallon bucket, and pour a little of EVERYTHING in it for me tonight....beat me, daddy, eight to the bar!:chuck:

[SuperD]

Edmund Fitzgerald from Great Lakes Brewing Co is about the best Dark Beer I have ever had.

When I can't find that Beck's Dark will do quite nicely.

Sam Adams/Beck's Octoberfest are both a highlight of fall for me.

For the harder stuff Wild Turkey 101 is hard to beat.

And I hate to sound like a broken record, but truely *good* moonshine is hard to put down.

Well, as far as my favorite beer goes, I don't think I really need to say. Actually I haven't met to many beers I didn't like.

As far as booze goes I swore it off about 2 years ago. Except for maybe a bloody mary or two I don't touch the stuff. The Booze makes me a very unpleasant person to be around. More so than usual.

[ilovekittens]

I'm only in it for the buzz, not to swish it around in my mouth. Give me a 12 of Busch and I'm set. ILK

[Lemmy]

I can't believe I just stumbled across this. I guess I have been drinking too much and missed it. I am partial to vodka, whisky, and wine. I like beer too. Sometimes I drink gin. On occasion I have been known to indulge in brandy. There have been a few times I have drinked, drank, drunk rum. I rarely drink tequila. :lemmy:

[BigJim]

I dispise all this talk of drinking. Very immoral.

I thought this thread was about drink for grown-ups...

Like, beer?

Sorry, but Amstel and Heineken don't quite cut it as proper beer.

Too thin, too pale, too flavourless.

Not as bad as Bud Light, but a close second to "sex in a canoe".

Now back to the Tripel Horse.

Early to bed, tonight. Had a few interrupted nights with my daughter waking up around 04h00 and climbing into my bed.

:bump::ropeman:

[MadDaddy]

Hell....the list of what I like is tooo looong...so simple version off the top of my head....

I like good beer....but I am a beer snob when I have a choice.
Single malt scotch....Balvenie, Johny Walker Green label or better, Mac Callen 18, Oban, Laphroig....etc.
Bourbon...Basil Haden, Knob Creek, Woodford Reserve ...etc.
Vodka...Goose, Belvidere, Chopin, Van Gogh....etc.
Gin...Millers, Tanquery 10, Bombay Saphire...etc.
Tequila...Cabo, Patron...etc.
Rum....Don Q, Appletons, 10 Cane, Sailor Jerry....etc.
Sake...I can't remember any of the names, prefer it cold. Cheap sake tastes like crap.

I do like wine, but cannot really drink it, get raging headaches from it.
Just started tasting Ports...very sweet.
