Topic: What's Yours?

Right now I'm having bourbon and water on the rocks. Jim beam white label. Its not as good as I remember it being. I admit to being influenced by all the Bond novels I read lately.

When my friends and I go out we have beers with our food. When we go to a bar my friends have touted Ketel One and tonic but lately I find that harsh. I have been having a Johnny Walker black label on the rocks, my boss put me onto that at the office christmas party.

I avoid cocktails because they're only as good as the bartender.

What's yours?

Re: What's Yours?

My goto is a 12 pack of Heineken. IF I decide to pound some liquour before hand, I like Petrone, Goldshlogger, Jeager, or some good rum.

I used to like those alkopops with added vodka, lots of it. But when you do that, then drink lots of aftershock, it don't do good to your body.

Re: What's Yours?

None of you managed to mention decent beers tongue Heineken is Human piss with alcohol in it. Foster's quite the same and don't get me started on Carling. My favourite beers are: Chimay Blauw, Orval, Duvel, Karmeliet, La Chouffe, Brugse Zot and Rochefort. Those are good beers, you should try them once.. You'll notice that what you've drank before is nothing compared to that..

When I want some Liquor, I'd go for a Amaretto, Grand Marnier or Bushmills' whiskey..

Re: What's Yours?

Ewww, Rambaldi. Any beer from a can is disgusting when you've drank it from the tap before..

I'll never know if it was worth the pain, but I still loved it more than anything in the world - it was my life.

Re: What's Yours?

Chimay comes in very small bottles though.
There's no way a Marine combat veteran can order "La Chouffe".  If they export to America they'll have to change the name.  "The C" would probably work.

I like something a little stronger than Amaretto or Irish whiskey.

Re: What's Yours?

Vodka, Chestnut Ale, Bishops Finger, Bitter and Twisted, in that order.
Well, except for Chestnut Ale, that's a seasonal drink.

I'll have to agree with TheYell on that one WFS. If I dared walk into a bar and orderer a drink with a name like that, I'd a) have to grab my balls to insure myself they are still there and b) feel like a big fat bitch yikes

Heineken is the greatest beer known to man, you obviously have no taste what so ever and the names of the beers listed WFS scares me yikes tongue

Re: What's Yours?

while Belgian beers are excellent if you want a glass of beer, in the United States, a man does not usually set out to have a glass of beer.  More like, a pitcher of beer.  Or two.  Or four.  Your licorice savory candy beers in the tulip glasses don't work well with a couple of extra large supreme pizzas as you watch the game, or out on the lawn as you grill a few kilos of meat.  In fact, since they don't come in a can, you cannot impale a chicken on them and grill a beer butt chicken with your beer.
It does not help that it has a French name and a [motherloving] smurf on the label
http://www.cafedebelsj.nl/images/LaChouffe_kabouterbierlogo.bmp

I have warned you before that while you Belgians may be expert on the subject of GOOD beer, you know nothing at all about cat's piss beer.  Heneiken is refined nectar compared to the swill that bursts from the industrial vats of American corporate breweries.  If "American Beer" was a M:TG enchantment, it would be Black. 
This is urine beer-- Steel Reserve High Gravity 211.  We should weaponize this stuff to drop over trenches.

"I was thirsty, and noticed this was cheaper than bottled water. Boy, what a mistake. Next time I think I'll just stick to the water that collects at the bottom of trash dumpsters, which is not any different than this crud, but at least it's free."
"Holy cats, this stuff is putrid. The first sip made my sideburns draw right up on top of my head. My eyes watered and my ears rang. After a few more sips, when I literally began to break a cold sweat, I realized I had to pour this out if I wanted to live. There is a very real possibility I may have foreshortened my life expectancy after being exposed to this. "

Personally I recommend serving this beer over ice in a frosted mug, so it freezes and your taste buds are numbed on contact.  Even so, the sour milk flavor is going to burn through.  I'd have some sliced horseradish at hand to kill the taste between gulps.  Chug it or you won't get through the pint.

Drink one or two of their large bottles and we'll see how much of a man you are afterwards tongue I'm guessing it'll smack you in the face, viciously. Despite having a french name, it's a great tasting beer and is quite strong. Your shortmindedness on this area is just mindblowing...

Our country may only be a piss wide, but we make the finest of them all. Read any beersite, and you'll notice they list all of my beers way higher then the horse piss you drink DD.
Obviously, you and your country (like the yell said) have absolutely no idea how beer should taste, filistine tongue

Re: What's Yours?

North Coast Old Rasputin Imperial Stout is still kickass.  And that Tatonka Stout they serve at BJs Grill.  That is like drinking thin batter.

If I could send you some beer I would, but our government has all kinds of barriers against shipping beer.  Plus the can would probably explode in the plane.  Doubtless there's some Trilateral Commission rule against sending our generic beer to innocent civilians.

Except, of course, FIFA 2006 served Budweiser.  I'm still laughing at that one.  Oh MAN.  WHAT were you thinking??

Well, they allow Heineken to be sent across the world. Although that doesn't kill you instantly, it'll destroy your will to live and any hope your ever had in mankind.

Re: What's Yours?

It's pretty crisp and smooth, with no aftertaste.  It's just pricey for a beer, because it's an import.

Re: What's Yours?

Stella Artois > Heineken

You should be able to find that one too. Stella isn't the best beer around (at least not over here), but it's decent at least. And it's a lot better then Heineken, fo sho! tongue

Re: What's Yours?

Modela Negra > Stella Artois

"I'm wondering how the good folks at Stella Artois came up with this beer: Gee, we need a lager that can compete with Heineken and those other bastards in the Netherlands, but have less of a taste, and cost a hell of a lot more, and still sucker in import buyers in England and the US. Anybody got any ideas? Why yes boss, why don't we put a fancy, gay-looking foil thingy around the neck and cap, to make it look Imported! Right, Pierre, great idea, get right on it! And there we have it, Stella Artois as we know it. Not as good as Heineken, fancier packaging, and $7.99 per six pack. This is way too expensive, do you hear me Stella? Stella? STEEELLLLAAAAA!!!!!"

Re: What's Yours?

well i prefer making my own wine or just drinking moonshine from a mason jar.
i can get a quart of moonshine for 20$ and it goes well with any mix if you cant drink it straight.
i guarantee you wont find any liquor with more alcohol content.

Re: What's Yours?

"Sam: I'm gonna disagree with Steve on this one. Stella Ar-TOYZ (sorry, couldn't resist) does indeed taste better than Heineken, which always has that ghastly skunked smell and flavor. Now that's not saying a whole lot; drainage ditch water probably tastes better than Heineken. Still, I thought the Stella was a good clean honest lager. Nothing to grab your taste buds and kick 'em in the shins, but a decent beer nonetheless."

I never claimed that other beers couldn't be better, but it's a decent one. When we're talking about really good beers, I'd like to refer to my first post.. Although, they probably cost you a small fortune down there tongue

I think maxatron has it best because he has access to the best corn liquor in the hemisphere

Come to think in europe you don't have maize so it is the best in the world. Though you have to cut it pretty fierce

My friends in iraq said white lightning is $80 a quart over there

Llama damn boy how could you even remember that after 10 modelo negros?

Mexico has a lot of good brewers in the german tradition though of course it has crap beer too. There some brand with a rooster logo that tastes like fermented jarritos soda
