Who likes to Drink?

[Affix Snow]

Ok...originally i was just trying to be funny.
Then i realized i wasnt and thought about a recommended beer/drinks list )sponging off Ispoiler's Read list).
So many of us talk about beer, etc., so why not right?

Beer: Victory Hop Devil...name says it all...from Downingtown PA
Scotch: Mcllelands(sp?)...nice price, great taste...recommend the Islay.
Wine: Yellow Tail....Austrailian.....good Merlot.

Its friday morning and im already thinking about booze....shake head

[RR]

Coosing a favorite, that's cruel! Nevertheless these are my standing choices. Everything else would be a consolation.

Beer: Long Trail Brewery, Double Bag

Whiskey: Aberfeldy Distillery, Aberfeldy Single malt, 14 years. Cropped to a great extent on the clan holdings.

Wine: Coturri (formerly Coturri & Sons), Chauvet Zin, '75. Nearly impossible to find and worth over 1K a bottle to the serious folk. All the Chuvet holdings zins are the finest in the world and Coturri has them all. All huge and complex, must lay down at least 5 years and begins to get rewarding after 10 years.

I will list Grappa and Tequila seperately

[kfarrar]

Where do I start

Favorite beer of all times: Anchor Steam.
Favorite beer at a cook out: Sam Adams SunRye Ale
Favorite beer when eating Brats in Wisconsin: Hacker Pshorr
Favorite Tequila drink: Margerita's with Suiza Tequila and Cointreau (but i like slammers too)
Favorite Gin Drink: Tanguery Ten and Tonic with lots of squeezed lime
Favorite Drink when entertaining: Tangurery Sterling Martinis with olives on the rocks
Favorite shot: Kamakazis

Other Favorites
Lemon Citron Vodka with fresh sqeezed lemon and a spoonfull of sugar shaken
Cosmopolitans (only drink at home when my wife and I have date night)
Midori Margeritas

I'm sure I am missing a few drinks. And there's lots of other beers I like. Right now Long Trail Harvest Ale stands out as a quite a good one.

[kfarrar]

Don't even get me started on all the wines I like but forgot to mention.

[Affix Snow]

Oh yeah.....

Saranac's Holiday Nut Brown is amazing too.
Im partial to Murphy's Irish Stout.

[elwood]

Fave Beer: (Need I really say?) Guiness
Fave Scotch: Tie between Oban's and Tamnavulin
Fave Wine: I have been enjoying the Yellow Tail Shiraz as of late...as Dave said, the Merlot they make is quite tasty too... I really love these Aussie wines!

[Bannick]

Fave Beer: Les Muadite or pretty much anything by Unibrue
Fave Scotch: Highland Park
Fave Wine: Dragani from Italy

[BladeGirl]

Tried a new (for us) Korean restaurant in Sommerville a couple of days ago and tried some Korean wine, with 10 herbs and spices added (or something like that. Different spices than KFC). Must say, it made a very nice accompanyment to the meal. Cheap, too! :)
-BG

[kfarrar]

Does it have alcohol? If yes, I like it :)

[ski&ride]

Fav Beer: Dundees Honey Brown, Blue Moon Belgium White w/ lemon

Fav Canadian Beer (so far): Sleemans Honey Brown

Scotch: Whatever sets my teeth on fire - Glenlivit's done the trick.

Fav U.S. Wine: Four Vines Red Zin, Ravenswood Vinters Blend

If I'm out w/ friends, I get a round of Red Death shots (Kamakazee + Alabama Slammah) mmmmmm

I like Cosmos and Mango Margaritas too.

It's good, but I would never go as far as to say it's the best beer of all time. I can guarantee that NOBODY on this board has had EVERY beer in the world.

Trick is to take an Advil and drink water before drinking huge amounts.. Then take and Advil before you hit he hay...

I was drinking a local brew last night... Keegan Ales from Kingston NY...
They have a niiice stout called "Mothers Milk"

Booze is not just "booze." There is a difference between dewar's and Glenlivet.........instert other here.

Well, I confess I DO ask for Guinness in my Black & Tan! I like 'em both. :)

[Justin]

Pretty much do three drinks these days...

Beer: Geary's "Autumn", long Trail - "hit the trail", Gritty Mcduffs - "Christmas" and Newcastle are a few that come to mind - Really love full bodied English beer.


Liquor: 99.99999% of the time it's:

Gin & Tonic - Bombay if i can afford it.

Whiskey (usually with ginger ale) if not straight ;). - Again i prefer Crown if i can afford it. not a big scotch fan.

Wine: Don't drink whites except for an occasional Pino. I really just don't like 'em. I like reds quite a bit, but am rather uneducated. I do however, like Yellow tail shiraz/ merlot quite a bit.

I don't drink that often, like maybe 1-2 /month. But when I go out DRINKING, it can potentially be much! ;)

I used to drink frequently in college, it was easier for me then to live on no sleep and alcohol. Now my workout/practice regimen requires me to behave better & get more sleep.

Also, I can curb gettin sick / hungover with water, advil, and I think being athletic helps too??? Eating food is good also. When I get home, I drink a ton of water, wake up a few hours later and get rid of a lot of liquids! I feel pretty good the next day!

Vodka - am I the only one with a taste for vodka? I like it mixed drink with most anything or in shots (straight up or mixed) - as long as its some decent vodka! During ski season, my drink of choice is Vodka and RedBull - during summer, a 007 (oj,orange flavd vodka and 7up) is a good choice.

otherwise, there is a great Cabernet - Ecchevaria (?sp) that is amazing, and I love cheap pinot grigio - Cavit is the best and comes in the huge bottle for only 12 bucks. But for champagne - its only the good stuff - Pierre Jouet in the floral bottle (fleur de lis?) - that is heavenly - well worth the mortgage you have to take out on your house to buy it!

mmm...almost time to hit the bar for a happy hour beverage!

You are right. I dont think anyone has brought up vodka!
As for me....Vodka and I are not on speaking terms. She makes me do things i dont remember and piss off people i dont know......what a minute! Screw that! Thats the fun part! :D

I've avoided this thread perchance that I may go find a good drink. Alas! I have!

Anyways, for some reason, I'm not surprised how many posts this thread accumulated in such a short time.... I think people enjoy a good beverage.

My favorites are Vodka and rum and then tequila... not necessarily in that order. That depends upon the activity at hand and the locale.

Wine is always on my dinner table be it red or white and the occasional zin.
I'm opting not to divulge my specific favorites at this time.... They change as the seasons do.

My preventative medicine is to suck back 6 to 12 raw oysters (malpeques if you can get em).


I love oysters.

In Europe, the Cancale oyster is considered the best. Had Cancales in Cancale in June this year. Then, had Malpeques in Malpeques, PEI in July. Malpeques are the best.

Here's my wife and twin grandaughters chowing down on seafood in Cancale:

That beer beside my plate is a little light. Guiness is my first call beer, although anejo tequila is my drink. Hmm ... tequila oyster shots at the top of the gondola at Squaw ... there, that got us back on topic and ties to snow sports too.

(Incidentally, someone recently referred to oyster shots as "slammers." That is incorrect. A slammer is a shot of tequila mixed with a lemon-lime soda. The drink is slammed down onto a hard surface so the soda fizzes like crazy and then chugged.)

Once again you guys have some sorta pulse on me - tonight my sister-in-law took us out to "Chicks Oyster Bar" Virginia Beach, and on the menu was an item called a "Shooter." So I got two. It was a half beer with an oyster and ****tail sauce in it. I liked it quite a bit. First oyster I'd had in a couple years at least!

My friend lives in Stanley Bridge PEI....none too far a stagger from Malpeque Bay and his friend the oyster farmer. His wife does a lot of kid sitting for them. Long and short is when we go visit there is often a "Bakers" Peck of oysters in a cooler that make the trip home with us. The last peck we had was well over 75 oysters that we took into the wilds of Quebec with us.

Fishing with a good beer and fresh oysters is second to none. Though I am intregued by oyster shooters at the top of the lift.....

hops:

samuel smith oatmeal stout
kinmount willie o.s.
heart of darkness

i like the oatmeal stouts...anybody tried the last one, its magic hat's o.s.?

grains:

belvedere, especially in vodka gimlets straight up


grapes:

steep-anything barolo especially '95's - gaja reserve if you don't mind a little extra cash

cheap-los vascos reserve '98 or '99 cabernet - a good (maybe to peppery) chilean; the reserves are $5-8 more, but the bottles aren't usually more than $14-20 total and taste better than many $40-80 cabs IMO.

Cheap red with plenty to offer: Egri Bikaver It's hungarian and available at lots of places, esp. Trader Joe's. I have been drinking it since 1979.

EB is made in the town (Eger) where the Mongol hordes encamped ready to attack and the townspeople drank every bit of the wine that was stored in the town just to prevent the horde from getting any.

Legend has it they awoke with such murderous hangovers that they flayed the Mongols something awful, thus stopping the march to Iberia

well, after some cheap red wine hangovers, i've certainly contemplated murder...mostly my own :D

always appreciate good cheap wine suggestions. a friend suggested one that i thought was ok, but he swears by from patagonia: postcards from the end of the earth - look for the spanish translation on the label though. if anyone's interested, i'll get the proper label from him.

Then again the Hungarians also make Tokaji Aszu. I like the "5 Puttonyos", the nectaur of the gods, a huge and complex dessert wine running 35-40 USD for 750ml. I have not tried the "6 Puttonyos" :eek: :eek:

Whats Sterno Squeeze?

[PWDR8S]

Interested in brewing your own?

I prefer different spirits for flavor and effects. It's fun!

[Castlerock]

Whats Sterno Squeeze?

You can extract the alcohol in sterno by squeezing it out through cloth. It is a cumulative poison, and tastes terrible, but it will get you drunk.

I like my enhacement to taste good......

Woah..... I think I'm gonna hurl. That's NASTY! I'll pass thank you.

[elwood]

I have heard stories of the homemade Absinthe being absolutely awful tasting... I have an Absinte guru down in the Kmart area (some of you may even know him), that I can get the goods from. It's pricey, $150-200/bottle... Not that he sells it, but he knows where to legitimately buy it...

Sterno-squeeze? Sounds particularily disgusting... Maybe if I was desperate enough...

why not go the extra mile and try some wood alcohol? side effects: blindness and metabolic acidosis.

Absinthe, mmmm, yummy. But don't go cheep, buy the good stuff, at least 10 thujones, there is one that has 100 thujones and is considered the "real" thing, plenty of wormwood used - it'll make you loopy.
Yes, absinthe is an inebriating pipeful -
its psychoactive thujones seem to bind to the same receptor as THC.

Beer, too many to pick one, recently excited about Acme IPA and NorthCoast Red Seal Ale

Single Malt, Lagavullin, but like Affix said the McLelland Islay is a GREAT value, but don't even bother to try their lowland.

Time For Tuquermans And Tonic

A $65 bottle of absinthe is only a nasty tasting booze... You need to spend money to get the real stuff. Don't just buy anything out there. Let me consult my guru and he will lead us to the promised land M@...

Try it for yourself if you want to, but in a dbl blind test against 2 other mediocre lowlands (after we decided, "it can't be as poor as we thought, their Islay is so good"), my Dad and I rated it, "by a wide margin, the least interesting, with a certain unkind sharpness" and we are talking against already mediocre-at-best lowlands. Their highland is OK, but we tend to think its worth the extra $5-15 for a 12yr old. I haven't tried their Speyside, assuming they have one.

[Jolly J]

The Aroostook Valley Golf Club, near Fort Fairfield, Me. Was built during prohibition. The Pro Shop, Parking Lot and part of the Club house is in the US. The Bar and Golf Course was in Canada. So technically you didn't have to cross the border to get booze. You just went golfing.

Maybe i'll just take the gamble and try it...
I think they have a speyside.

Sometimes that extra $5 buys you ALOT more in quality...go figure.

We have an active tour boat here on Lake Sunapee which was formerly a rum runner during the prohibition days. It used to run the St Lawrence and the Hudson.

It has morphed since those days but the hull is original! Kinda cool I think!

Yeah they still golf in Canada. Must have been too much work to move it back across the border. Surprising though it's turns cold as soon as you cross the border I mean parking lot. /end sarcasim

Seriously though when I was kid we lived in Perth Andover and my dad was a member there. I went to play golf with him, we have to cross through customs to cross into the States and drive along a road that danced back and forth across the border to eventually park in the US and walk back into Canada to play golf. If I remember correctly the Canadian Government stopped using the customs building and it was sold and moved to a farm. The US side kept their guard post operating for a year or so during daylight hours but not at night. One night it burned down and they didn't rebuild. I guess both sides got bored of seeing the same golfers and farmers everyday and it wasn't worth the hassle. What I did find as funny was here is a paved road crossing the border with not a soul policing it. Rumor was back then that RCMP kept an eye on vehicles with US plates traveling the road in Canada on the Troopers kept an eye on Canadian Vehicles travelling the road in the US. I remember we used to smuggle stuff back across the border and would just stop and play a round of golf in case the State Troopers were watching us and then continue on our merry way. I wonder what that crossing is like now since 9/11. I should ask my old man about that. He still plays there from time to time.

Prohibition was repealed in 1933. Stock car racing grew up with good ole boys hauling white lightning out of the hills. T'wren't prohibition--t'was whiskey tax. Still is for that matter.

I laid up one stormy night in East Tennesse. No bar in town. The waitress said "t'ween the Baptist ministers and the moonshiners, this town'll never vote legal." Then, she told which auto repair shop to go to.
