Just curious. And I know the masses drink beer. What kind? If you're not drinking beer, what do you drink? Anything interesting? I love Becks. It makes great sourdough bread if you use it instead of water. What do you drink with your beer? I like Gentleman Jack, it's tooo smoooth. Here's a tip. I have a drink that crosses genders and sneaks up on you. I call it a Drunken Sailor. 1/3 dark rum, ice, 2/3 cream soda. It works on the same principal as whiskey and beer. They're both made from the same stuff. That's why they go well together. Women generally don't like whiskey, or beer. Whiskey is nothing but distilled beer. Rum is nothing but distilled sugar, same stuff they make cream soda from. They mix well. Rather sweet, but women like it, and you can't taste how strong it is. It's made me lucky too many times. Have you got a good drink?
i will drink almost any beer, but my current favorite is Yuengling lager it's from pennsylvania. this is not some trendy micro=brew, Yuengling is the oldest brewery in the united states, founded in 1829.
cheers...
Anything cheep. Or anything you can steel from a frat party.
Ahhh college life. But since I live in Chico, CA a Pale Ale from Sierra Nevada is good.
Fat Tire, Staro Brno (a Czech beer), are good as well.
Yuengling? I've never seen it before. I'll try to find it. Maybe they've never gotten this far west. The only thing that's been around longer than beer is mead. That's what the cavemen drank. Fermented honey.
You want cheap? Try Steel Reserve, at 8.1% it's like drinking two beers. Not a bad taste either. $1 for a 24oz can.
I prefer Coke to Pepsi out of the can. I don't like Dr. Pepper so much from a can. From the fountain, I like Dr. Pepper best, and it's a toss-up between Coke and Pepsi.
Mountain Dew!!! I have a really low tolerance to alcohol. I can get falling down drunk on one beer. So I am always the designated driver. That has its advantages. When I was still single, a whole bunch of us would go out to a bar, and I would wait until they got really drunk, and hit each one of them up for $20 for gas. The bars always give free sodas to the designated drivers, so I would have a night out, and make a profit. My friends thought they were having a great time and spent the money drinking. They would never remember me asking for gas money, and it was cheaper than spending time in jail for DUI.
To quote Abe Vigoda when he played Det. Fish on the sitcom Barney Miller, "Drinking should be done in the privacy of one's home, where it's necessary." Nobody should drink and drive.
Right now it is Coffee Black. Navy style. (strong).
Yuengling I like thier Black and Tan. hard to get here, have to go all the way to Florida.
Then there is Abita Turbo Dog. Louisianna for that.
Abita Turbo Dog? All these beers I've never heard of, makes me want to pay you to send me one. I love variety. The spice of life. It's like the first time in a teener.
I never really did drink beer, never aquired a taste for it, in fact I never drank at all much. Didnt like the feeling of no control. Besides, I like to remember what I did the night before and hugging a toilet is not my idea of having fun. I quit drinking sodas about 6 years ago and will never go back. I drink sport waters now, Propel, it tastes good and wont destroy my stomach lining.
Don't drink sports drinks exclusively. Too many minerals. Make sure you still drink eight glasses of water a day. Don't want to see you get stones. "Dilution is the solution to pollution". Water is cleansing.

Water and tea while at work. Occasional soda if I dine out (water is the norm since soda fills me up and I can't burp ) At a bar, almost always long islands. With friends and/or family, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. All bets are off if I'm in Vegas, though. Foot long margaritas, sex on the beach, white russians, etc...
But, seriously, I don't drink that much. Can't find that happy buzz anymore. Or it's short lived, right before I get sloopy. I'm a light weight. And/or a cheap date. Which ever way you look at it.

4oz of just about any beer will put me to sleep. So I pretty much stay away from it. Mostly water, milk, occasional juice of some type, no soda at all. And every once in a long while, a

I think I'm missing some but this is basically what I try to keep in stock
(almost) Every meal needs a big glass of milk! Sometimes a glass of wine with lunch or dinner and a coke or pepsi with a burger.
Now, for the times of relaxation it could be a gin & tonic, limeade & gin, Jack & coke or (on the islands) a Mai Tai.
For workin on the teener it's usually always FAT TIRE but if a Bud is all that there is.... that'll do
............b
Old Speckled Hen? I keep hearing about all these beers they don't send to the west coast. I'm going to go postal and shoot up the budweiser plant I used to work at in Van Nuys, before they drained the pond, and closed Busch Gardens. We had the HIGHEST waterfall in the San Fernando Valley. (I was a sky trolley tour guide when I was eighteen, best job in the park.)
Almost forgot Im not supposed to drink anything stronger than pop. Lucky for me Pop will drink anything..
Any decent ale is fine by me. I don't really drink any of the amican "piss water" beers. If we have booze in the house it is usually vodka, rum, or tequilla. We have vodka tonics, cubra libre (sp), and marguaritas. Can't have Wild Turkey in the house because it makes my wife crazy.
If you want to try something really interesting check this out. I used to work with native Alaskans quite a bit and most of their villages are dry (no alcohol), so the make "homebrew". Now this is not the same type of homebrew that is an ale or lager this stuff is much different. Basically you take a 5 gallon bucket, dump in a bunch of juice usually grape but most any kind will work. Then you add some sugar, several cups, measurements are not so crucial here. Last is yeast, regular beer brewing yeast if they can get ahold of it but if not just plain bread yeast. Mix it all up, cover the bucket so the flies don't get in but not to tight 'cause you need air to be able to escape. Stick it in a corner for a few days, 3 will work but a week is better, if you can wait that long, they can't. Drink up and watch out.
I don't care too much for american brews except some of the micros. Love Guiness or Heinekin dark. Favorite is John Courage if I can find it. If doing the hard stuff it's either old no. 7 or rum and cokes. Most of the time it's water or diet coke.
That goes by a lot of different names. Pruno, applejack, the list goes on and on. Home brew is interesting, especially if you do it like the south american natives do. They throw in some mushrooms. Only used for ritual tribal council tripping, sometimes only if your a shaman or witchdoctor. Freaky Deaky.
I vote for Southpaw. Made by Plankhouse - low in carbs, high in alcohol. By the way Yuengling is also made here in Tampa.

i don't drink much. well, i should say i "can't" drink much because a few ounces and i'm done. but my favorite is red wine; tastes great and is like magic to your body. currently we're drinking a spanish wine, borsao campo de borja.
can't say i enjoy beer, maybe i haven't had the "right kind" yet.

Water
PEET'S Coffee
Diet Coke
Sonic Cherry Limeaid (when i'm near a sonic!)
haven't had anything stronger since Reagan was President!
absinthe.... don't even get me started
there's no commercially available psychotropic absinthe almost anywhere in the world. i've only had the "real" stuff in spain -- where you can no longer legally get it thujone-active. you can still legally get it in cuba, and the czech republic, i believe. which is probably for the best, as people have done some pretty crazy shit under its influence.
THOSE DAYS ARE OVER!
(mostly.)
I don't drink much.....I feel bad enuff in the morning without any chemical help .....such is the price of getting old.
Part of the problem is nowdays I start to get a little buzz then go right to the hangover.
The last time I got shiitfaced was at my daughter's first wedding.....a train wreck in progress.....that cost me about 10K & the marriage lasted bout 4 months....the hangover was the best part of that clusterf***
The good news is she married herself a good guy (didn't cost me anything, either) and gave me some grandkids.
All I need now is Coke & coffee to keep me awake.
I could use a nap.
Hmm, I do enjoy a drink on occasion. Yager Bombs are good (I'll be having a few of those at a Halloween party tonight) I also like scotch, almost all beers, gin and tonic, and rye and ginger. Ahh hell, I drink pretty much anything. Something to try with a cheap beer; pour an ounce or two of Barardi Lemon into it. Doubles the potency of the beer, and makes it taste like a squeeze of lemon was added. Good stuff!
I use to drink Gin & Tonic in my youth....one day I ran out of Tonic and used Coke instead......that was 35 years ago and have been drinking Gin & Coke ever since. I go into bars and resturants and when I order it I get funny looks or they recognize the drink rather than my face.
The drink itself tastes like pine cones, but the gins gets me drunk and the coke/caffeine keeps me awake.
I should have added a link to one of my favorite local bars when I listed me beers

How about a trade.... 6er of Turbo Dog for a couple bottles of Red Hook Double Black.
Mostly water, Gatorade, and milk. Of course some of my buddies do look like this:

Apparently Absinthe is making a comeback. There is a Frech brand called "La Fee Absinthe" claiming to be made the original way with the wormwood available for sale worldwide.
And a brand called "Hill's Absinth" available in Canada, UK and other countries but no the US. Hill's Absinth contains the psychoactive and essential ingredient, wormwood (artemisia ABSINTHIUM)
http://hillsabsinth.com/history.html
About wormwood http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/w/wormwo37.html
from what i understand (i used to be into such things) they refine it so that the active amount of thujone (found in the wormwood) is only in trace amounts. so yes, it's made with wormwood, but no it is not going to get you high. you'll pass out from alcohol poisoning long before you'll see green fairies sorry...
and stay away from ANYTHING homeade!
btw, gwen, did my hat ship yet? thx
Hefeweizen with lemons... I freeze lemon juice in big glasses and then pour the beer over it. Its awesome.
Sometimes I drink Gooser beer. From Austria. Its yummy too.
I'm very fortunate to have a close friend who owns a small microbrewery about a mile from my house.
My home away from home:

Life is too short to drink cheap booze
Beer?. Red Hook Nut Brown Ale is my favorite. I seem to aquired a taste for fine Merlot latley. If not that, I have been known to sip a Vodka Martini or a Jack Daniels on the rocks
Knob Creek, neat. MMMMgood!
I'm either drinking or working there's no in-be-tween.. Don't drink around the house or infront of the kids. But when the time is right...Corona with Jag...what else?

Oh man... Where do I begin? Well, first you start with a really well stocked home bar. Then you get very creative. Tonight it's Woodford Reserve, tommorow...? I really don't drink all that much anymore. Burned myself out when I could still handle the consequences. Still enjoy a drink now and again. Tonight I have to be good so I can get up early and drive to San Jose That reminds me... I gota new bottle of Single Malt last week for my birthday. I gotta go...
Went shopping at Safeway last night for dinner stuff & wanted to get some wine for the Saturday night Birthday celebration taking place at my wifes parents. Most of them are really into their wines & always wanting to try new ones. That's when I saw this Shiraz....
Should, could, .... (might) be pretty good

Beer and its Leffe if I can find it.
ABSOLUTE VODKA, Goes well with any beverage!
For those of you beer types (like me) who go for the dark side every now and then may I suggest Blackened Voodoo. I believe it is a micor brew from NO LA.

Usually Cazadores tequila and Bohemia cerveza, though right now it's Spaten Optimator. Other choice is Abita's "Purple Haze"--perfect with Carolina BBQ.

I don't drink.
When I do drink, I like Wild Turkey 101, Stolitchnaya martinis, and expensive champagne, not mixed.
I used to drink half a case of Heineys, and split a bottle of Cuervo Gold two ways, at least 6 nights a week.
I like coffee, me and coffee are brothers. I am turning 40 next month, on my 35th year of coffee addiction.
M
You like coffee? Damn, I'll send you some real coffee beans from the NW. It will grow hair on your chest.

I paid for the electrolysis... I like it smooth!
I drink at least 1 pot a day... usually nearer to 2..

I'm a little surprised that no one has listed this one yet:
CHIMAY
Its a belgian beer, made by Trappist monks. You can get it at some restaurants and Trader Joe's have it in larger bottles with corks (kinda like a high class european 40). Just got introduced to it recently and I swear its the best beer I've ever had.
You're right--that is a good one. Another good Belgian is "Duvel," also worth a try.
Cheers,

1. Kenya AAA. Strong. Yes, plenty strong.
2. Mr Pibb or Dr Pepper (I'm a southerner, but not Georgian)
3. Dinkle Acker
Say, does anyone else like cookies & beer (YUM!)?
Now I feel bad swood...I am stuck with Southern and Coke.
Some how I think I can make it.
With a few more I will be certain, cortin, seertin....I'll know
Coke...straight up from the can (I'm at work)
Was drinking Jagermeister and budweister earlier at work. Then had some Corona with dinner. yum.
Coors Light for power drinking
For a nice beer I'm now into Stella Artois or IPAs..
Rum and anything is always good... (hot apple cider with rum on those cold Tucson nights (>50 F)
the number one pint for me is warstiener
after that ill have a keiths ipa with a shot of clamato in it..i used to love coors gold out of the can but they dont sell it in the frosty north anymore
I need to get back into homebrewing. Its easy to make really good beers if you have a good recipe. Right now my favorite is Sweetwater 420, a local brewed right here in Atlanta. Its a real hoppy pale ale.
take a few swigs of your favorite 40oz and then fill it back up with some pulpy orange juice. a "breakfast drink".
it's good, i swear.
just got back from a bar in DC called "Big Hunt Bar" (say it to your self!) and drank the house brew called "big a$$ ale" woof. i'm stuffed.

Wow, 1152 views and 100 replies! I never thought, when I started this thread, it would be so popular. And, I've heard of so many regional beers that I've never seen before. We need to set up a beer exchange program to allow us less fortunate ones to exchange these intriguing brews. A six pack exchange program?
Generally speaking, I might have a Saphire Martini after work, with bleu cheese stuffed olives (and maybe on jalapeno stuffed one too).
Beer is fine. Hate vodka because I do not see the point in drinking a beverage that is designed not to have a taste.
Other than gin, I prefer my liquor brown. I don't drink alot, but when I do, I want something good and I want to taste that something good on its own. No mixes (other than H20). Glenmorangie Port finish is awesome, and Knob Creek is a fav too.
Love big hearty wines with meals. Prefer reds, but like dry, crisp whites too. Don't like sparkling at all.
Other than that, water, or decaf tea/cofee. Unfortunately, Caffeine makes me wackier than I already am.
Wow! This IS a great place! Not only does everyone here love 914s, but there are also quite a few home brewers AND lovers of Knob Creek!
I think I need a drink right now!
