For regular social situations, Bud light all the way.

If I am trying to sleep or I just feel like getting sauced cheap, Jack Daniel's neat.

For sipping, Glenlivet or Glenfiddich 18 year. MMMMMMMMMMMMMM

My econoscotch is Johnny Walker Black, but I can't even afford that most of the time.

Now don't think I'm knocking it, but it's interesting that Johnny Walker is so popular everywhere, it just doesn't sell here at all.

We don't have too many scotch drinkers here in Tx at all either. It's one of 4 things here, Jack, Makers mark, Grey goose, or Captain. No one seems to know anything else.

I have a bunch of Thorogood songs going through my head while reading this thread....

If You Don't Start Drinkin' (I'm Gonna Leave)

I remember a joke in the pages of an old guitar magazine years ago where they had listed fictional books written by various musicians, and the one they had listed for Ol' George was "Pour Me Another One And I'll Tell You Why I Only Write Songs About Drinking."

When I used to drink to Olympic standards my fave was K cider 8%ish alchol steaming drunk on 4 cans

ironraven · **Reply #35 on:** May 15, 2012, 02:18:59 AM

Cider is my go to these days. I love Woodchuck, and their winter seasonal blend is amazing.

If I want something harder, scotch, and it should be old enough to buy itself.

Old scotch joke....

A guy walks into a bar and orders 12 year old scotch. The bartender looks at him and thinks "This guy wouldn't know twelve year old scotch if it bit him on the ass. He probably heard it in a movie or something, and I'm not wasting good stuff on an amateur" so he pours the guy some 1 year old scotch instead.

The guy just looks at it and says "This scotch is only a year old- I wanted twelve year old scotch!"

The bartender is impressed, but in hindsight thinks that one year old scotch is pretty obvious, so he pours the guy a 5 year old scotch. The guy takes the scotch and is about to drink it when he says "This smells like 5 year old scotch, I ordered 12 year old scotch!" Once again the bartender is impressed, and decides to test the guy further, so he pours the guy a 10 year old scotch. This time the glass makes it to the guy's lips, but as soon as he gets the slightest taste of it he says "Look, this is ten year old scotch. Bring me what I ordered or I'm leaving!"

The bartender apologizes and brings the guy a 12 year old scotch on the house and the guy starts to drink and enjoy it, when a drunk from the other end of the var shuffles up and shoves a glass in the guy's face and says "That's amazing, here, drink this!" The guy tries to shove the drunk away, but the drunk is persistent. Finally the guy figures the only way to get rid of him is to humor the drunk so he takes the glass, shoots the drink down and immediately spits it out and throws up on the floor screaming "That was urine!"

The drunk says "Of course it was, so how old am I?"

I tried the new Coors Lite Ice Tea beer on the weekend, and I'm not sure if I like it or not. I think I'll have to drink some more to find out ;D

My drink of choice is dark rum, either straight or mixed with diet Pepsi. For beer, either Coors Lite or Molson M.

First time I ever heard that joke was when my wife told it! (She was still my GF at the time... that was one of the many little things that told me she was a keeper!

)

I am generally a beer guy. My favorite brewer is Sierra Nevada, maker of the legendary Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (a long time favorite) and Bigfoot Barleywine Ale, the only beer you stand a fork up in!

My favorite kind of beer is India Pale Ale, with my favorites being New Belgium's "Ranger" and Sierra Nevada's "Torpedo".

I don't care much for mixed drinks, but I am fond of margarita's, and my favorite hard liquor is Jose (Swervo all over the road to kill ya...)

After that a close second is either Bacardi plain white rum, or Capt. Morgan spiced rum. I do enjoy mead and cider when I can get it, but it's a specialty item for me now days. Although, a good impression with Chaucer's Mead and Ace Pear Cider did go a long way to winning over my future wife on the night we met.

At the moment my favorites are Weihenstephaner and Hoegaarden

Yay, another Weihenstephaner-fan!

The first time I went to Freising it was pretty much only to visit Weihenstephaner's on-site bierstube.

MeadMaker · **Reply #47 on:** May 18, 2012, 08:26:29 PM

One of my favorite breweries is Bells Brewing http://www.bellsbeer.com/. I was invited to an open house they had for business partners in their new expansion. The people at Bell's know how to throw a party. Along with the three buffet lines they had tap stations set up with their Amber, Oberon, Two Hearted and Kalamazoo Stout for FREE!!

A good time was had by all

Steinar · **Reply #48 on:** May 18, 2012, 10:16:08 PM

It is not noble to feel envy, I know, but I'm not noble enough to not envy you that party.

Yet another brewery I feel deserves a mention: Jolly Pumpkin. Their Black Madrugada really surprised me when I tasted it, I really didn't expect it to be that yummy.

Lynn LeFey · **Reply #49 on:** May 18, 2012, 10:58:42 PM

Hey MeadMaker, if you're ever in St. Louis, you should stop by the Schlafly Tap Room.

http://schlafly.com/breweries/taproom/

Their Hefeweizen and Stout are some of my favorites. If you're in Michigan (where the Bell's Brewery is), you might be able to get Schlafy beer there.

MeadMaker · **Reply #50 on:** May 18, 2012, 11:15:42 PM

I've never seen Schlafly and I won't be visiting St. Louis anytime soon, so I'll have to hope that it can be found in Michigan or Indiana. I'm always ready to try a new brew. Today I picked up a seasonal from Spoetzl Brewing called Shiner Ruby Red Bird.

"Shiner Ruby Redbird is brewed with genuine Texas Rio Red Grapefruit, the signature sweet citrus of the Rio Grande Valley, and ginger. This lager beer features grapefruit tartness and finishes with a 'lil kick of ginger. With Texas Ruby Red Grapefruit and Ginger, Shiner Ruby Redbird is sure to be a crisp and refreshing summer beer. "

I'll have a couple of these then switch to my latest batch of homebrew tonight during a gathering of families in the neighborhood. The others my go down while we are on the boat tomorrow. We finally have some good boating weather in the forecast on a weekend.

I rarely drink anymore(diabetic), but I found myself at the local bottle shop and bought a fifth of Cruzan 9 Spiced Rum. I've had it before, but it's been a while, good straight or as a mixer...
