Booze?

Kraken · September 18, 2014, 07:14:26 PM

I was wondering if anyone on here liked to partake of the alcohol from time to time. Me, I'm a pretty big beer geek (craft beer/ale), though I've also been developing my appreciation for scotch whisky of late. Do you drink? If so, what's your favourite drink(s)?

Lots of beer.

I prefer really hoppy west coast IPAs, along with black IPAs and rye IPAs.

A good red or brown ale is good, too, but I can take 'em or leave 'em

Not a fan of stouts and porters.

Haven't been drinking much lately but I usually opt for Blue Moon when I do.
Not really the best selection around here.

Cool. Do you have a favourite type/brand or do you just drink whatever's there? I love me some spiced rum; my favourite is called Kraken, which actually gave me inspiration for my name on here.

I tried Blue Moon a few years back and, in all honesty, didn't care for it too much. My beer palate was pretty underdeveloped, though. Probably ought to pick it up again and see how I like it now.

Guinness, mmmmmm.

Guinness is by far my top beer, although I haven't had the opportunity to try many craft beers.

As far as liquor, I highly enjoy vodka, Jagermeister, and some Jack Daniels.

I love JD and coke; pretty much my go-to drink for something reliably tasty that does the job.

If you like Guinness you might get on well with the darker stout/porter type beers. Craft beer is such a fun thing to get into just for the sheer amount and variety.

Dopameme · September 18, 2014, 07:37:30 PM

Favorite beers are Shock Top Orange, Guinness, and Beck's 40 oz.

Favorite liquors are Captain Morgan rum, Jack Daniels, Svedka vodka, and Crown Royal

Dogfish Head is meh, very meh. Nothing special.

I think it's one of the better IPA's I've had.
Then again, I don't really into IPA.

How dare you.

Dogfish 90min is one of my favorite brews.

The DFH guy is a really cool dude, too. There's a series on Netflix called Brewmasters, which is a fun watch.

My parents don't want an alcoholic in their house.

I love drinking when I do but it's never very often.

I love IPAs as well; especially the double high strength super-bitter ones. I really love the Hardcore and Jackhammer IPAs by Brewdog, a Scottish brewery based on the American style if you've not heard of them. My favourite IPA ever is definitely the Double Jack by Firestone, though. I really live the odd imperial stout/porter as well. Basically I like beer with a high ABV.

Kahlua

Oh, and I've found out recently that I like vodka, too.

Kraken is pretty damn good. I love Malibu Coconut rum though. If I want to get drunk, I will have shots of Bicardi while drinking beer throughout the night.

Besides beer, Kraken is probably my favourite drink. Beer doesn't always agree with me too well so I often switch to good ol' Kraken after a couple. I like the taste of Malibu, but I find the sweetness can get a bit much. Plus, it's only like 20% so not the best value for money.

I'm too much of a wimp for shots; I drink neat whisky quite regularly, but I usually just sip on it. Don't like the burn much so not one to slam back the shots! What beer do you drink?

One wonderful concoction I mixed up in my attic would be sweat tea with Kahlua and Everclear.
The Kahlua makes it taste like yuanyang, the Everclear lets you get drunk without disturbing the flavor balance.

Massive beer nerd here.
I think my current favourite is a stout brewed with milk sugar.
It's called, creatively, Milk Stout.

I'm also partial to Belgian beers, and Fat Tire is an old favourite.

Other beers I recommend:
Pabst Blue Ribbon (ancient but excellent)
Boddington's
Negro Modelo
Newcastle Brown Ale
BJ's Nutty Brewnette

Ugh, I don't know what's worse, PBR or Old Milwaukee.
