[mikeyjay88]

Haha nice. I love to drink, it has totally consumed my life though.

[hacelikewhoa]

I don't really drink that much.. but mostly because Its unavailable to me and I'm not going to go out of my way asking people to get me some when next year I can buy it on my own. But when I have it....I will drink it until its gone.

[mikeyjay88]

Yea a friend of mine works at the liquor store here so when hes working i just go in and get what i need. Next year however i too get to buy it wherever, whenever.

So my best friend died in a car accident during a really bad storm 2 days ago. I found out yesterday when I was taking a quick break from studying math.... needless to say not much math was studied the rest of the day so I failed my test this afternoon.

What can I drink that will get me drunk fast but not too terribly sick?

Oh, Jen. I'm so so sorry to hear that as well. I can't even imagine.

If you're planning on getting drunk, there's really nothing that will definitely not make you feel sick; everyone's different when it comes to that. Whatever you drink, do it at home or at least someplace that you can just stay put. Be careful.

Oh man, I'm enjoying the best brew I've had in a loooong time. One of my new favorites:

Founder's Breakfast Stout

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nXTU8U2MRaQ/RYlsjS5X4GI/AAAAAAAAADQ/JeWLwk0tNSA/s320/Founders_Breakfast_Stout.jpg

The bottom of the label calls this a "double chocolate coffee oatmeal stout", and yeah...it smells just like a fresh cup of coffee. Motor oil dark, thick, and heavy body; drinks like a meal, for sure.
Absolutely delicious.

Newb, I'm not sure how dark you like your beers, but I highly, highly recommend this brew (and anyone else, too).

Sounds like my type of drink, where is it made...

I've got a new faveorite ale house, it's called the Bon Acord, they have a huge range of guest ales which change frequently. I dropped in on Friday night and had a Kacker, brewed here in Glasgow it is a dark ale with a bitter taste, wieghing in at 6%... Also had my self an Old Peculiar...

[fortunato]

It's brewed here in the States, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I'm not sure what their distribution is like, but it looks like they're developing a "beer finder" tool on their website:

I hope you can find some around you.

Ah, that sounds like a great place. Unfortunately I don't really have any great brewpubs or ale houses or anything like that close to me. There is an excellent brewpub about an hour and a half away from me called the Heorot. Great Belgian and Midwestern US draft selection, with about 400 bottled brews as well.

recommended.....for a 6.5 abv it was very mild....a bit malty with a kind of cinnamon finish. Give it a try if you can find it , Fortunato, Flayed and Disease.

[milktoaste]

Budweiser is smoothest of course due it being a rice beer. However I'd rather drink a Miller Light or MGD. Most people don't like Miller untill they drink enough to grow a 'taste' for them. It's the hops, they grow on you. Sure there are other cheaper brands, but you really don't want to drink anyhting cheeper than Bud or Miller, your bowels will understand. However I don't see much reason to drink anything more expensive, unless you're only gonna drink one or two beers. I've been known to drink around 11 beers just sitting at home watching tv sometimes. Of course you can find the best beer you ever tasted at any micro brewery. Earlier this year I stopped at The Railroad Inn micro Brewery in northern Wisconsin. They had a Blueberry Ale that tasted just like blueberry pancakes, it was amazing. I'm a huge fan of the micro brew!

And whiskie, my recent fav has got to be The Knot, carmel after taste, good bite to it, 100 proof and around 24 bucks for a 750ml.

[milktoaste]

Oh, sorry Roderick, but Coors light is not even close to the worste beer ever made.
http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w203/cjhnnh/elephantbeer.jpg
Here'a particular Demnark brew that tastes more like someone sifted their pee over a skunks ass and then bottled it. I figured something called Elephant Beer couldn't be bad, it litterally made me puke.

Not on that night, I just wanted to drink 'a' beer at home, and that's the beer I chose. It turned my stomach and I had to puke about an 1/2 hour later. I may have drank one or two Bud lights too, but they were fresh, and wouldn't have bothered my stomach.

I challenge you to and Indiana Jones style drink off!! We can do it with White Russians too, instead of whiskie shots. I DO deserve that avatar. Believe me, I've lived in Oshkosh for almost 12 years. It's like the binge drinking olympics out here every day. I'm telling you, that's how bad that Elephant Beer sucks. It has nothing to do with Alchohol content, it's just a skunky gut turner that's all.

My challenge still stands, and that goes for anybody else who wants to get wasted.

That explains why you took offence. Hey, Milwaukee's Best is brewed and hour and a half away from my house, but I don't take it personaly. In my opinion, Elephant Beer is the equivalent to that liquid in the bottom of garbage bags. I'm sure Denmark makes other beers that are better, or atleast to more of my own personal tastes. However, I've never been to Denmark, and I'm guessing you've never been to Wisconsin. If the opportunity ever arises, I would gladly drink you under the table. :) I'm kidding of course.

Yo, I'm in, I'll drink whatever, I just don't drink Gin. Though a drinking comp is completely impossible over the internet, it couldn't be monitered. A sip is not a drink, full oz. shots, no reversals or puking. Besides, a drinking challenge is a 'mano y mano' deal. It's got to be done face to face. I swear if any of you end up in my neck of the woods, I will sit down and pound some booze with you, and post results.

I'm moving Friday and as a going away gift a co-worker got me a bottle of wine. I don't know a DAMN thing about good wine, but this is Torres Malena, and I have to say that it made me discover that wine makes me happy. It's so weird, after just 2 glasses I was just so smiley and giggly. I'm going to require more!:p

[milktoaste]

Wine is great in small doses. Don't try and get 'bombed on it though, a wine hangover comes with tthe worste headache ever. Worse than Te'killya even.

[milktoaste]

Polished off a 6 pack of these last night. A wonderful rich flavor, full bodied ale. I don't know if you can get these outside of 'sconsin though. Capital Brewery has yet to let me down, you should make it a point to try one if you ever happen to be in the neighborhood.

Me too! They're a great brewery. I haven't had anything by them yet that I didn't really enjoy, although I've only had three of their brews. I haven't had the Quatre-Centième, unfortunately. It's another Belgian pale strong ale, right? I've had La Fin Du Monde, Trois Pistoles, and Maudite.

So I was in Belgium last week, damn they have tasty beer, even the standard beer that is most common is strong and tasty...

http://img.alibaba.com/img/buyoffer/101517075/Wine_Beer_Red_Wine_Vodka_Champagne_Tequila_Whisky_ White_Wine.jpg


I also drank a lot of Hoegaarden, I saw they had rasberry flavoured and lemon flavoured Hoegaarden in the bottleshops.. Some beers I saw on the shelf were %14.

I'm trying to remember what other beers I was drinking, I had a few of these..

http://www.1934.cc/lafamille/images/2008/05/21/duvel.jpg


That one was 8.5% and very very tasty...


And also some Grimbergen which comes in 3 different types, I had already had the dark one before so I tried the tripple or Blonde which was about %10..

[scouse mac]

I've heard good things about that brew.

Thoughts?

Im not the greatest ale drinker but I do like the odd drop every now and again.

Ive spent a couple of days in Gloucestershire and found this brew (strange really as its made exclusively in North Yorkshire). At first its got a fruity taste but then it develops a pleasant, mild hops taste.

Ive always found with most of these types of ales that the aftertaste builds up as you drink and it starts to become unpleasant but thats not the case with Black Sheep. Certainly worth a go if you can get your hands on it.

[Disease]

I haven't tried that one, but they do sell it over the road, I might as well give it a go.

[Papillon Noir]

Me too! They're a great brewery. I haven't had anything by them yet that I didn't really enjoy, although I've only had three of their brews. I haven't had the Quatre-Centième, unfortunately. It's another Belgian pale strong ale, right? I've had La Fin Du Monde, Trois Pistoles, and Maudite.





Yeah, I usually don't like pale ales or anything over 9% (Quatre-Centieme like 12% i think), but for this one I make an exception. It's really tasty, just don't plan on driving anywhere afterwards. :p I can't remember if I've had the Trois Pistoles, but the Maudite I find a little too peppery/spicey for me. Have you had the Ephemere? It's the apple one, it's quite nice.


@ Angra
I was talking about the Leffe Blonde. I didn't realize they made other kinds, are the other ones good?

I haven't tried any of the Ephemeres either. It's hard to find anything around here other than those three main brews.
If I see any of those, though, I'll absolutely be picking them up.

By cracking this seal of The Knot you accept that drinking is never to be taken lightly and promise to act in a responsible fashion-not like some blithering idiot. You promise to drink The Knot straight-up in a proper shot glass, rather than mixing it in some sort of novelty, tiny umbrella, fruit fiasco. And finally, you vow to never drink to anything you are not prepared to go though with. If in any way, you are not willing to abide by these conditions, by all means, please refrain from opening this bottle.

I have been working on the biggest shit of a project at work for the last 6 weeks, it finally finished today, I had been working 1 - 9 pm everyday. I was exicted all day with plans of flowing whisky.

But then the boss got me and said can you comein tomorrow at nine am tmrw...

So I downgraded to wine, but fuck it I'm finishing both bottles, they can cop what's left of me tomorrow...

[milktoaste]

For 100 proof it's actually quite tastey. It packs a punch, but has a wonderful caramel after taste. Highly recommended for whiskie drinkers and only around $23 for a 750ml!

Sadly, I'm allergic to beer.

Yeah, let that one roll around your head for a moment. Allergic. To. Beer.

I used to love a good Bass or Guinness, XXXX or VB, name your micro-brew. Can't any longer.

Good red wine is good, but it turns my stomach inside-out. Haven't found a good white yet.

So what's a guy to do? Drink hooch, naturally. I tend towards scotches, whiskies and tequila (since it's springtime, I'll begin to favor tequilas, usually a Milagro or Patron, since I'm still nursing a bottle of that.) I'll use Cuervo for margaritas (Rose's lime juice and Grand Mariner instead of triple sec) but am not really excited about drinking it straight.

Scotchwise? Nothing real fancy. Finishing a bottle of 15-year Glenfiddich from Costco of all places. Nice and smoky and caramelly.

What else do monks have to do?

damn that's a strong beer. I usually stay 9% or under.

Screw nuns.

I've seen it in movies.

And movies never lie. ;)

They also occasionally pray for sinners and such, but that may be just a rumor.

It is awfully good. If you come across it, I'd definitely recommend picking it up.

Haha. Yeah, those monks brew some strong stuff. They'd have to, otherwise risk going crazy in the monastery.

Oh, and by the way Newb:

I found a brewpub north of me that serves the Celebrator Doppelbock on draft.
Which turned out to be incredibly delicious. You can really taste the complexity and smokiness, and it is as smooth as can be going down.

Having a Meantime Coffee Porter right now

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1060/1485739701_24dcfa84d9.jpg

A decent porter.
A coffee porter should come across smooth and rich, both of which are lacking in this one. It's definitely too carbonated as well, and the coffee flavor needs a little more depth.
It's worth a try, though, for sure.

[fortunato]

Trying to stock up on some darker brews, so I picked up some Founders Breakfast Stout, Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout, and a bottle of the rare and sought-after Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout:

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/152/435787356_3a048c2981.jpg

I haven't tried this yet, but I've heard lots of great things about it. It's brewed with coffee and chocolate, then aged underground for one year in bourbon barrels, which is why it's so hard to get. Founders regular Breakfast Stout is one of my all-time favorites, so I'm looking forward to this one.

Also picked up some Orval Trappist ale:

http://web.mit.edu/~tcarlile/www/images/blog/195orval.jpg

I was lucky enough to find these with some nice age on them, bottled in May of 2007.

[Roderick Usher]

I love the dark brews. My favorites are:

Bert Grant's Perfect Porter
Anderson Valley's Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout
Rogue's Shakespeare Stout
Sam Smith's "Taddy" Porter

Me too, me too.
You've picked some incredible brews there, by the way. I haven't tried the Perfect Porter, though. I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

And if you dig dark beers, you must try Founders Breakfast Stout if you can find it. I'm not sure what the distribution is like in LA.
Heck, I'll even send you a bottle if you want.

I went out for dinner last night, had one of these, it's a very smooth choclatey dark ale. I would of had a few more but I stuffed myself with crepes...

It's brewed here in Scotland.

Is Scotland famous for their beer??

No would be my guess.

Finally opened my Founders KBS:

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/152/435787356_3a048c2981.jpg

And wow.

Thick, heavy, creamy...heavy coffee and dark chocolate on the nose, and that's a lot of what you taste. Plus hints of vanilla, bourbon, and roasted malts. Hides its ABV quite well, too, especially considering that this year it's at 11.2%.

Very complex, very intense, and very delicious. No wonder these sell out so fast.

[fortunato]

Having a Dark Horse Perkulator Coffee Doppelbock.

http://nuxx.net/gallery/d/77555-2/IMG_2645.jpg

Not bad. Heavy burnt coffee and roasted malts, finishes pretty bitter. A little too light for a doppelbock, though, especially a coffee doppelbock.
I might try it again, but I'm glad I only got one bottle.

[Papillon Noir]

No would be my guess.

But they are famous for Scotch! :D

Here's my latest favorite: Balvenie Double Wood 12 yr. Great with a splash of water

And my seasonal summer favorite just came out again. Cream ales really are the best. This is Buffalo Bill's Orange Blossom Cream Ale. Just divine. :)

Gin and tonic, tried some New Amsterdam gin for the first time on a suggestion, pretty smooth stuff.

Grøn Påske.

Translated to english it's "Green Easter".

The taste reminds me a whole lot of the belgium strong beer such as Leffe. Almost as good.

Too bad the company behind it went bankrupt earlier this year and this will be the last time i'll drink it. :(

I didn't know they went bankrupt! I guess I should pick some of their stuff up now while I still can.

The brewery is awesome (I was wearing a Bell's pin heh) and having it local means lots of stores with tons of different brews from them. :)




Jager-bombs. Still have a lot of Jager and some Red Bulls left over from a party a couple of weeks ago. I love the black licorice taste of Jager and it mixes so well with Red Bull. I wonder if Sambuca goes well with Red Bull...

Bell's is nice, but you also have Founders, which I like a lot more. I know their taproom is open quite a lot. Have you tried any of their brews?

Oh man, Goldschlager! Takes me back to my college days, sitting around in a dorm room sucking that stuff down with no mixer or ice. I once drank a bunch of that stuff when I had a cold, it really messed me up.

This is a very good beer that I had recently:
