Hey. Whatchya Drinkin?

Aw hell.

[Captain Obvious]

Buddy of mine (dude I'm having a toddy with tomorrow) has a similar thread with thousands of replies to it over on the Stiller forum I'm on called Watchinz Drinkin?

Yeungling - in cans (as a rule, green bottles skunk).

The beer joint in my little town stopped carrying it for some reason but the best 'value' for beer I've seen in a long time was Black Label. Six fitty for a 12 pack and for rotgut beer, it ain't bad - especially at that price.

[Captain Obvious]

I also toggle between whatever and Yeungling black n' tan, which is pretty good beer. Comes in green bottles though but dark beer doesn't skunk that easily, haven't had one yet.

Fucking beer snobs are killing it for us though, I noticed that Yeungling is making a Bock beer. Hey - great, I like Yeungling, great beer, traditional brewing styles, porter is great, so's the Chesty ale.

Fucking battery acid, marketing to the beer snobs for sure. Bock should be strong, high in alcohol, strong almost sweet body, medium hop. This one is way, way over hopped, no body, no flavor other than battery acid. Fucking garbage, just like almost every other "craft" brewed micro I've tried. Not even close to style.

Fucking beer snobs.

[MMC]

Pots of Coffee.....thats what I am drinking.

[RollingWave]

I drink mostly just teabags (no particular favorts, anything from foreign to local brands and occasionally real dried tea leafs) or just plain water . I almost never drink beer or liquer unless someone invite me to some. though I do drink a good bit of tea / juice type of beverage , probably not everyday but at least a couple times a week, Taiwan has a boatload of differen brands on that sort of stuff and also it's own brands of rootbeers etc... some of you probably heard of Pearl Milk Tea, though most stands thats only one of about 20-30 type of drinks they sell.

[Conley]

Cool. I've been drinking a lot English breakfast tea and also herbal tea lately. Water this morning. Someone had a little too much last night, not saying who.

[Chris]

Coffee, two cups a day. Coke if I need another shot of caffeine.

Used to drink beer, Shiner, but haven't for years, no particular reason.

[Mister D]

5-6 cups of tea during the work week. Various kinds. Black in the AM but I switch to green and lighter teas in the afternoons. RW, Taiwan has some very nice teas. China as well, of course. I only drink Chinese teas now.

[Mister D]

Shiner is a southern beer, right? I saw it when I visited my brother in LA. It's brewed in Texas if I remember correctly.

Double fisting, huh? Getting some work done? :laugh: :wink: :rollseyes:

[Peter1469]

How much water do you guys drink. During my work day I probably drink 60-80 ounces of water. And that is on top of 4 cups of coffee.

[Mister D]

In the warmer weather I drink at least a quart before leaving work. I run when I get home and then drink a quart of G-2. Most teas contribute to your fluid levels plus you get a substantial amount of water from solid food. I drink when I'm thristy or my mouth is dry. I just listen to my body.

[Conley]

4 cups of coffee spread out over the whole day or back-to-back?

I think I drink about 20-30 oz of water besides the tea/coffee I drink (1-2 cups a day). I drink a lot more water in the summer, but when it's cold I don't find it as appealing.

I think I get a lot of water from the vegetables I eat. Also, in the winter I have a lot of broths so there's obviously water there too.

From what I've read peopel get around 20% of their water from solid foods.

2 cups before I work out at 730 and two more cups around 11am.

I wake up at 7:30 and somehow I get to work. That's it for me until the PM hours.

[ramone]

Jameson's is most likely the best whiskey ever made. I love the stuff, as for beer I got hooked on Warsteiner while in the military in Germany.

I only drink one or two bottles of water a day unless it's one of the 110 degree days that my clothes are wet down to my knees, literally. Then it takes quite a bit more and I about quite drinking coffee, maybe a cup in the morning. Makes me jittery now days it seems.

[Chris]

In Shiner TX. About an hour drive.

[Mister D]

Thanks. I thought I remembered that. I drank that and Abita down there.

[Peter1469]

Abita is made in Louisiana. Good beer.

[Mister D]

Abita is made in Louisiana. Good beer.

I liked it. I thought it was a little sweet but not sweet enough to make me not like it. I would definitely have it again,. I see Shiner here in NJ once in a while but I have never seen Abita.

[Peter1469]

Abita has 3 beers. Amber, turbodog and purple haze.

[Mister D]

Abita has 3 beers. Amber, turbodog and purple haze.

I know it wasn't turbo dog. Must have been amber. I would remember turbo dog. Emeril cooks with that. :grin:

[Mister D]

OK so I went to abita.com and they tell me everyone around me carries it. I'm calling BS on that but I will dutifully check it out on Saturday. I've got a hankering for it now. I'm supposed to go down again to visit my bro and his family. I'll prep with some Abita in NJ. :grin:

[Peter1469]

Let me know what you find.

[MMC]

When ya suppose to head down there D?

[ramone]

Abita has 3 beers. Amber, turbodog and purple haze.

Purple Haze........I'll stick with the Shiner from Texas, I've drank quite a few cases and it is some good bock beer. I always thought Hendrix was over rated, a pedal or two and some theatrics, naw, I'll stick with something like this. Nothing racial, just my preference in music. If they went head to head Mark would kick jimmy's butt. I've heard this song countless time but never exactly the same.

Johnny Walker Black & Guinness Black Lager.

[Alias]

Today I'm drinking home brewed iced tea with lemon slice.

[Captain Obvious]

I've seen that Guiness black lager, I can't bring myself to try it. Sounds too gadgety. Yeungling makes a great black beer - two of them actually, the porter and a black and tan, both are fantastic.

And cheaper than GBL.

Drinking Straub right now.

http://www.taverntrove.com/beerpics/Straub-Beer-Labels-Straub-Brewery_31332-1.jpg

[Mister D]

Classic. :cool2:

[Captain Obvious]

Classic. :cool2:

Seriously? I'm surprised you've heard of Straub. Straub brewery is about maybe less than an hour drive from us, my wife goes there just for beer.

You just drive up to the door, they take your money and put the beer in your trunk. Tiny, family owned brewery. Beer's pretty good - not spectacular.

I had a friend who moved to my area from California, he was asking me about the craft beers in the area. Told him if he wanted craft beer, he's SOL, but Straub is nearby and he foo-fooed me on that. Then he stopped by and discovered they had an "eternal tap" - which is pretty much a free beer for anyone who walks in off the street.

He stayed so long, they asked him to leave.

:laugh:

[Mister D]

That's a classic beer to me but I guess it's because I grew up in this region. It was first brewed in the 1870s.

Good story. :grin:

[Captain Obvious]

I might have to give it a try if I can get a single at the local.

I'm a value beer drinker, I look for good beer that isn't over-expensive. Guiness is fairly expensive, but the stout is good so I drink it but not all the time. Bought a couple 4-packs last weekend. It has to be very good for me to spend money on it, but Yeungling is pretty decent stuff and not that expensive, so I get it often.

Fucking beer snob dickholes ruined it for everyone. If it's as bitter as battery acid and you have to take a fucking mortgage out for a beer, they'll be tripping over each other to get it. Used to be you could get really good, exotic beer cheaply until the fucking beer snobs came around and killed it.

I used to buy (this was maybe 20 years ago) cases of Cooper's Stout, Australian stout for ten bucks for a case of 24oz bottles. Great stout until they found out that if they bottle it in 12oz bottles, beer snobs will pay $50 a case for it.

Fucking dicks, they suck.

The best expensive beer is Celebrator Dopple Bock, $10.00 for a four pack. I used to brew my own. 21 pounds of malt in a five gallon batch. Most beer that adhere to Bavarian purity laws have 4-7 pounds. Most American beers like Bud, Coors and Miller only have 2 pounds of malt and the rest is rice and sugar. That chit sucks.

I brew my own shit also. I have a thread here about it I think, but I have a draft system and all that shit.

Currently I'm on a sort of hiatus and I doubt I'll be getting back into it until at least fall. I don't have cool fermenting capabilities.

Hardest beer to brew is lawnmower beer, IMO.

I quit brewing after I gained fifty pounds. I was drinking five gallons a week, now I've cut back to a twelve pack a week. Haven't lost the fifty pounds but at least I'm not still gaining. When I was brewing I bought a frig for $25.00 used, and it was great for lagering. But each batch takes a month to lager, so I also brewed lots of ales and porters.

[gophangover]

I have a spare fridge that I bought last summer, new, full sized. Got it on Home Depot's scratch and dent, $240. It's for my draft system but I could use it for lagering.

I'm an ale guy, pale ale, bitters. Nobody knows how to make a good commercial pale anymore, that's a big reason why I'm into homebrewing, but even ales get a little fruity fermenting in warm weather.

Anybody ever drink a DIRTY MOTHER? It's like a WHITE RUSSIAN except with tequila. Then there's the FUZZY NAVEL & SEX ON THE BEACH. I'm not much for sweet drinks though, just give it to me straight. Don't like bourbon. Martini's are ok, make mine vodka not gin. Shots of tequila are great, but they make me bullet proof. I make one for the wife, half CAROL ANN'S IRISH CREAM & half A&W rootbeer on the rocks. Tastes just like a rootbeer float. It only works with CAROL ANN'S and A&W though. Other stuff don't cut it.

[Neeka4355]

try a bloody mary made with snappytoms spicy with a double shot of vodka..

[wingrider]

our bartender just told me she bought some vodka with Jalapeno in it .. sounds pretty hot .. don't know how it will be with other drinks but it should be good in a screwdriver or bloody mary.

by the way what do you get when you mix vodka with milk of magnesia?

[MMC]

I am pretty close to Stone (SoCal)...where are you that you can get it? Are they across the country now?

[Pete7469]

I am pretty close to Stone (SoCal)...where are you that you can get it? Are they across the country now?

They're quite popular in TX. My first Stone's was Arrogant Bastard Ale in 2000. I've got quite a collection of bottles, and my favorites are Stone's, Sam Adam's, Fransikaner's and Shiners. I've had at least 12 varieties of Stone's, including Oaked Bastard, Double Bastard, and some seasonals.

I'm a fan of Ommegang Breweries In NY as well.

[Conley]

What Sam Adams do you like? My sister buys those assortment packs and likes them but I've never had one of any kind I thought could compare to Stone or Shiner...I'm not a snob just maybe have been drinking the wrong ones

I haven't had a Sam's of any flavor in a while, but I used to put away a lot of the Cherry Wheat.

Honey Brown Lager from JW Dundee was another fav too.

[Captain Obvious]

My wife's not a big beer drinker but she'll drink Sam Boston Lager, had some today at dinner.

And a bloody ceasar (because I was having one).

[Mister D]

Whiskey...

[Captain Obvious]

Been a while since I drank whiskey. Not that I'm impartial to it, I just like beer as a passive adult beverage.

If I'm at weddings and all they have is budmiller lite, I'll drink a whisky on ice.

I'm partial to bourbons though.

[Threeup63]

Coffee as i sit here now.diet coke all day long.:afro:

Bourbon is the one type I'm not fond of. I'll drink Makers Mark once in a while but I generally avoid. I had a bad experience with Wild Turkey in my early 20s. 'Twas before I learned that beer before liquor...

[Greenridgeman]

There is all kinds of science stating that artificial sweeteners are horrible for you.


So is morbid obesity.

I have used sweet and low in my coffee for years, still healthier than my sugar sucking friends.

[Captain Obvious]

The two biggest mistakes IMO when it comes to drinking is: a) imbibing on an empty stomach, and b) drinking too fast.

As a rule, I generally eat something about an hour or two before I have that first beer and I don't start drinking "thirsty". I suck down a soda or something first.

[oceanloverOH]

Diabetics are boring....alcohol is verboten, so I have only a small amount on very special occasions. My bev of choice is iced tea with a little Splenda. Other than that, I divide my time equally between crystal light and ice water.

[Common]

Ive never been a heavy hitter with alcohol though ive always embibed. I drink wine with meals often, I do not like most white wines, I do like pinot grigio but I love reds. If I drink beer its just one bottle maybe on occaision two. I also occaisionally have a johnny black on the rocks or Captain Morgan on the rocks. All this is in moderation and not a daily routine

[Mister D]

I used to drink blended scotch like Johnny Walker but I find single malts much better tasting. Of course Walker Blue is supposed to be great but I am not paying $180 for a bottle of anything.

[Mister D]

So Yukon Jack is a liqueur not a whiskey. Dang Canucks...

[Dr. Who]

So Yukon Jack is a liqueur not a whiskey. Dang Canucks...Merlot. I generally prefer red wine for my drinking pleasure.

I prefer Merlot if I'm drinking wine.I find it richer, but less acidic than most others.

I like dry reds. I really have to be in the mood sweeter or white wines. If it's hot I may grab a bottle of pinot.

Before I had such a high tolerance I used to love stuff like that. No shame felt saying my favorite drink used to be Jack Daniels Downhome Punch.

What is andys surprise

[Common]

I had been known in the distant pass to enjoy a few Scotch on the rocks. I also used to indulge in a top shelf whisky or cognac neat. I drank beer sparingly, I never wanted one of those huge bellies where you couldnt see your ummm toes and I didnt like the feeling of being bloated like a blimp, so I drank one or two with certain foods.
Now I have a red wine now and then and not much else. Rarely a whisky straight up. I just dont drink much at all.

[GrassrootsConservative]

Everclear + Lemonade.

[Mister D]

I'm a whiskey and beer man. BTW, it's not so much the beer that gives you the belly but all the crap men typically eat with it.

Had my first (legal) drinking experience last night. A shot of Dead Hitler (Jagermeister + Rumple Minze, no Goldschlager though), a shot of warm gin from the best friend, Jack Daniels Tennesse Honey from the other best friend and a tasty berry flavored shot the bartender made up from the girlfriend.

It's been really beautiful here. Not too hot, but still sunny.

Haha exactly! The guy who got the shot of gin actually asked the bartender what the meanest shot he could get a relatively inexperienced drinker is.

I'm a lager man. I like wheat ales too. Hey, I'm not knocking it. To each their own. IPAs are way too bitter for me. We appear to have very different taste in beer.

[countryboy]

Trying to save some money and recently found that I like Yuengling Light Lager in cans. Twenty bucks a case. :)I usually drink Sierra Nevada Pale Ale in bottles, nine bucks a six pack.

[Mister D]

Lord Chesterfield Ale from Yuengling is nice. The brewery is not far from me. My friend toured it.

[countryboy]

Nah, ya either like it or ya don't. I like a good stout on occasion. None of that weak Guinness stuff either, but a good Siberian stout.

[Captain Obvious]

Coopers from Australia made a great bottle conditioned stout, used to be able to get it in quart bottles a long time ago, haven't seen it in decades.

Guinness is good but pretty much has a lock on the US stout market. There are a couple of good stouts out there commercially but I'm disappointed that there aren't more good micro brewed stouts available.

Sam Smith makes one but you need to take out a mortgage on it, but if you've never had a good British imperial stout, you're really missing out.

Diet Cherry Dr Pepper...aka The Nectar of the Gods. :)

My favorite is diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper. I was saddened when Dr. Pepper stopped distributing it in 2 liter bottles. Now I have to purchase the much higher priced 12-pack.

I'm drinking coffee at the moment. Either a diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper or a beer for lunch and White Russians later this evening.

[Max Rockatansky]

Is that stuff any good? I've seen the commercials.

I did too and bought a six-pack last week, but haven't tried it yet. At the moment, I'm still working on a Blue Moon Seasonal Sampler 12-pack. I'm not much of a beer drinker, but do like one after working in the yard on a hot day. I keep a 12-pack of Miller Lite in my garage but that's for marinade and making chilis and stews.

[fyrenza]

OH! I had no idea y'all were connoisseurs :eek:

My "usual" is Miller High Life ~ it resonates with the stoner, in me.

ice water

[Mister D]

Just grabbed a bottle of Laphroaig 10 Year. I meant to get the regular one but I wound up getting cask strength. It's 57.2% alcohol by volume. They recommend twice as much water as whiskey or the whiskey may "overpower the palate". lol

[Peter1469]

coffee. black.

[Max Rockatansky]

White Russian. I was flossing my teeth yesterday afternoon and popped off a crown. Went in this mid-morning to have it reglued back into place, but it doesn't feel right. Since I'd been banging on that nerve for over 12 years, it may just be sensitive. Either way, I'm going to numb myself with alcohol tonight.

My apologies in advance if I say anything untoward or piss anyone off.....more than usual that is. :occasion14:

[Max Rockatansky]

Had two really stick drinks and now resting. Feeling good in fact, but bedtime soon. :D

Great stuff. New at my store. Tastes amazing though I would prefer something with added sugar. I had some acetaminophen for a toothache earlier so I can't drink alcohol. Still got the sticky icky though, so I'm not sober on a friday night (or saturday morning, now) at least.
