I likes me some Newcastle, Shiner Bock, and/or Fat Tire in most cases. Although if a place has Guinness on tap, I'll usually opt for a pint. And a black and tan is lovely.

With liquor, I get kinda girly, and I like rums and flavored vodkas mixed with coke or in some sort of frozen concoction, Jimmy Buffet style.

The harshest drink I ever had was the Leatherhead (or Leatherneck, I can never remember). It's a shot of 151 with Tabasco in it. My friend Rob and I would order them, and then the bartender would hold the Tobasco bottles over the shots, letting it drip in slowly into the liquer - whoever called for him to stop would buy the round.

The only time I've ever thrown up from drinking was from one of these (but then, I'm a light weight).

has anyone tried the new shiner's? i'm itching too because I love the first 3.

the only girly thing I touch is that new LandShark. which is so smooth its scary. otherwise I like most Sam Adams. guiness, harp, bass, Old Chub, various other full bodied beers and ales.

I don't drink mixed drinks except kamikaze's. otherwise its straight shots. no training wheels K? thx.

People often say to me "NLTAG, why are you drinking PBR? are you some kind of hipster cig?"

and I respond to them "No, I'm farging poor and PBR tastes better than Steel Reserve or Milwake's Best."

Then they ask me "NLTAG why do you do shots of Jager, are you Heavy Metal?"

And I say "Excuse me I couldn't hear you over the Manowar, let me turn it down."

Also when I have some cash I have been known to drink straight Bombay Saphire.

Fat Tire is great stuff, and I had a Black & Tan over the weekend while washing down some Polish Sausage. I tend to go towards pale ales and pilsners. MGD is about the only domestic brew I'll touch, although I'm always looking for new microbrews to experiment with. For imports, I am a Heine fan. Also go for Openheimer Spaten (Germany) and Hansa (Denmark). Those last 2 are extremely clean tasting beers that can knock you on your ass quick!

For liquor, I'm a rum mixer. Also like a good screwdriver as an appetizer, although I will also take shots of flavored Vodka. Stoli Bluberi, Smirnoff Vanilli and Absolut Currant are my choices there. Right now, I have a lovefest for the Irish Car Bomb. 1/2pt Guinness, 1oz Jameson and 1oz Baileys. It's a dunk and slam type of mixer, but man it goes down good!

I like to drink coors or mikes hard lemonade or a bottle of Tequilla

wat



I've discovered Shiner Bock and am happier for it... but at home I drink Corona. I had a Guinness phase, but honestly it was always just a bit too soupy for me. I don't drink hard liquor because to me, that's what you do when you're in college (though I have been known to imbibe the occasional "mixed drink"). The wife and I do enjoy red wine quite a lot, though.

if you like tequila and you've never had El Jimador tequila, stop what you're doing and go buy a bottle now.




any of you guys know the drinking game "3-man"?


funny, to me drinking mixed drinks is more like college. but to me a lemon or lime with a shot is a mixed drink.

Yeah maybe I just went to a hick school or something, but it was always straight vodka or whiskey or rum or whatever. Or flippin' Jagermeister the drink of fail

Jager is nasty shot

*wanted to name his son "jager"*

Corona is a fine beer, but I usually only drink it to match when I'm cooking Mexican food at home (since my kitchen is my only real source of Tex-Mex in SoCal...I regularly have spices sent to me by my family back in Texas).

Cumin

I used to drink Corona quite a bit. but my wife is Mexican and for some reason they don't worry about getting beer cold.? so anyway I quit buying it b/c now when I buy my beers I just tell her family "no you need to chill this beer so I'm taking the 3 week old leftovers out and putting my beer in the fridge".

Really? Like what? What's not available out there? And can you make the Kessel run in 12 parsecs?

Fiesta brand fajita seasoning.

for beer i go for coor light, killian's irish red, miller chill, or guinnes. i'm not a conosour so those 4 cover the beer spectrum for me just fine.

for mixed drinks i go for black russians (2 parts vodka, 1 part kaluha over ice), kryptinite (2parts vodka, 1 part midori, with lime juice squeezed in with a salted rim) or if i really wanna get hammered a 4 horseman (1 part bacardi 151, 1 part rumplmintz, 1 part wild turkey 101, 1 part jack daniels maybe, its been a while) if i'm at chili's i go for 2 for 1 margaritas or jack and coke. if i'm at home leting the wife watch me drink it's jager and mello yello.

Beers I most regularly drink (starting with my all time favorite)
Shiner Bock
Just about anything else from the "little brewery in Shiner"
Anything from the Abita Brewing Company
Harp Lager
Guinness - from the tap, but sometimes I'll buy the kind with the "widget" in the can/bottle if I'm really, REALLY desperate
Modelo Especial and Negra
Most Sam Adams beers
This list is far from complete, though, as I drink a wide variety beers and I'm always ready to try something new.

As far as mixed drinks and hard liquor:
Jack and Coke is my cocktail of choice
SoCo and Dr. Pepper (I don't know what this is called, but it will f*ck you up quick)

I also like margaritas and have a quick recipe that I usually use, which is equal parts tequila, Triple Sec, and Simply Limeade (Simply Orange Brand). (Frozen is ghey, BTW).


If you mean Shiner Black Label, it is the shizznizzledangbiddlybizzit. (it is quite good.)

it covers the "mexican Beer" catagory without having to drink corona.. 3 coronas and i wish i'd puke..

That artificial lime flavor is what kills it. You'd be better off squirting some real lime into an MGD.

Or simply leaving the fruit out of your beer all together. Otherwise known as "being a man."

It is summer, I live in the South, so I've been making mint juleps.

I've been on the mojito jive too, because it's basically the same thing, subbing rum for bourbon and adding some lime juice.

I loves me the mojito craze because it means more bars stock real mint and I can order a julep once in a while.

But mojitos is tasty, too.

I like lime in my Corona, and I could totally kick your ass.


Okay, I can't back that up.

Yeah, you listen to Cindy Lauper, so no, you probably can't.

Pssh, I grow my own mint. It is by far the easiest herb to grow; it's like kudzu or something.

because there's a 100% correlation between the badassery of your music and the badassery of yourself?

I would not, repeat NOT want to get in a mosh pit with that guy.

I prefer Diet Pepsi. Actually, I take that back. I prefer Diet Sam's Choice over any other carbonated beverage. It's rules mightily.

Cheerwine

You know, I dared one of my counter salesmen to have a Four Horseman (Jack Daniels, Jimmy Beam, Johnny Walker and Jose Cuervo). I offered him $20 plus the cost of the shot. He only agreed to do it if he could puke on my car afterwards. What you had was a variant, but a true Four Horseman has all 4 J's as the ingredients (if you use only 3 Js and substitute with, say El Reposado, then it's called Three Wise Men).




Cheerwine is the bomb. They just started carrying it in California too

?!?! California? ORLY

To this day, probably my favorite beer, the Stone IRS. I'll have to try and get a decent pic or two of my beer cellar....

I'm also quite fond of:
Quelque Chose Serve hot, my lady absolutely adores it, too bad I can usually only get 1-3 bottles per year.
Terrible
Nostradamas
Corsendonk
Grand Crux
I could probably go on for hours, but I guess it really just comes down to, I'm a beer snob.

Oh yeah, I don't drink liquor. As much as some of my beer selections may imply otherwise, I don't enjoy getting drunk. When I drink, it's usually just a single beer, enjoyed over an hour or so, one sip at a time.

Well, for awhile a regional grocery chain, Save Mart, would carry a 12pk or 2 occasionally. The other day, I was at a Walmart and they had a wall stacked to the top of Cheerwine 12pks. I think they entered a distribution agreement with 7Up or something.

EDIT: I was right, 7Up has the rights, but only for the Modesto location which serves the Central Valley...

JOYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Yeah, there are two 7-Up distributors in my state carrying it.

So what exactly is "Cheerwine"? It sounds like something Ralph Wiggum would come up with.

it's like a "cherry Dr. Pepper"

It's a cherry beverage, but it's not overly sweetened like Cherry Pepsi or over-carbonated like Cherry 7Up. Very popular in the Carolinas. When I went to NC last year, they had Cheerwine set up on the fountain stations and I was . So I decided to try it out... best decision ever.

It's all right here

Being from NC, I was raised on it. Cherry sodas =

fattttttttttttttt

Lol, not until I moved to a different state, where it wasn't sold.

Octoberfest cometh. lo verily it beith on the horizon. you guys plannin any fest activities?

Everyday's Oktoberfest in the Hobbes home.

















Seriously, it's like a Bill Murray movie. Someone save me. I can't eat anymore Sauerkraut.

We have a dry Oktoberfest an hour south of here. It was featured on the Daily Show, go figure.

I tend to go for Bailey's when I dirnk alcohol. I'm also making my first steps into the field of oenology, the Art of Wine, for now still limited to simply winetasting.

you know I'm surprised by this. I imagined you as a wine guy. I just introduced my wife to Baileys, she likes Kahlua, she immediately loved it.
the closest to wine I get is drinking Mead, but not Chaucer's. its way to sweet. Lurgashall is pretty good. there is a winery in Colorado, can't think of the name, that makes a decent Mead. although a bit dry for me it has good flavor.

has anyone tried a rusty nail?

Just once. In the foot. It wasn't pleasant.




Nah, usually if I have to ask "What's in that, again?" I don't drink it. I know what goes in a Jack and Coke. I know what should go in a Margarita.

a few times... they're a little more expensive than your standard mixed drink, drambui and scotch

Mmm, Bailey's. I love me a buttery nipple.
