blues335 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I do not drink a lot of beer these days but when I do I like flavour over volume and with a kick......... If you have not tried it, try one of these if you can find it, it is my favourite when I visit my local bar...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blues335 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 LMAO!!! My friend with a hang over told his 4 year old daughter today that if she kept trying to make her Barbie Doll climb my guitar it could break it - and then he would have to sell all her toys to pay for it! LMAO! Her face looked so WTF!!! Matt That is a job for social services intervention.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MojoRedFoot Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I drank a bunch of Bud Light Golden Wheat and slept on the couch. Tonight will be either Peroni or Dale's Pale Ale. or Tommyknocker Jack Whacker. Might be some Eggenburg Pilsner left. i hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BT Bob Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Oh yeah. One of this days I'll find my way to St. James' Gate. And I'm not stopping at a meager lil' pint. Oh no. I'm going to drink and drink till my heart's content. It really is worth a visit. The tour is really interesting and rises through 6 floors until you reach the Gravity Bar which has floor to ceiling glass walls that allow you to look over the whole of the Dublin area. Your entry fee entitles you to a "free" pint, but you can buy more ( obviously). The last time I was there (maybe 5 years ago) it was €13 to get in, and it was €4.50 a pint. For an extra €2 they'll teach you how to pour your own pint. I imagine it's gone up a bit since then - I think it could be up to around €6 a pint. So NOT cheap. But it does taste better than most other places. And then, you can wander over the river to the Jameson distillery!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 I am back to teaching guitar tomorrow at school which means a gradual detoxification - this means by this time next week, no alcohol in the week and booze only at weekends.

I was lucky enough to get over there and visit her while she was there. A Guinness Brewery, I did see. Fantastic little tour, and a delicious pint in the highest point in Dublin, if I remember correctly. It was there (Ireland) that I was also introduced to Smithwick's. At that time, it was not available in the U.S. yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 You have my complete sympathy. it wont be easy; it will take about 5 days for my sleep to go back to normal and I shall experience in the meantime heart palpatations and mood swings; but with your love and support I think I can get through this...

retrosurfer1959 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Not much for beer anymore when I do drink it's usually just a Fat Tire or a micro brewery although I am steadily working my way through a large 1.75 ltr bottle of Makers Mark I got for Xmas.

brundaddy Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I'm a liquor man. I have been known to chug beers though... just can't hang with the bourgie/hippy microbrews (IPA, wheat, retarded hops, etc). I love German beers and the beers they inspired like Negro Modelo and Bohemia. Don't typically pound the Bud Light & such. Usually I do whiskeys of all kinds but I have been really getting off on Meyer's lately... I have yet to find a richer, deeper, darker rum.

LarryUK Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 My son got me some cider recently. Rekordalig. Berry flavoured. Really nice. I don't normally drink. But I've been drinking it of an afternoon. It's so nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canon_mutant Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Give me some good ole' cactus pi$$, Corona, and try it with both a lemon and a lime sometime just for a change of pace. Beyond that, I like a good merlot with a steak and I actually like a cheap trilogy hybrid wine called Menage a Trois not that I would be opposed to just a real menage a trois . . . hey a guy can dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duende Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 I have stayed up late with my wife to watch the Cricket - and as I write 'The Ashes' have been won after 24 years in Australia - so nice work guys Anyway onto more important issues. I drank some wine tonight and got to 3/4 of the bottle and thought, 'this is strange I feel completely fine and my balance is remarkably accurate LOL'. I checked the label and i had accidentally purchased 5 percent alcoholic wine. It was actually really nice though LOL. Cheers Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanPC Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 There's a beer that I liked very much called John Courage, and I believe it was from England. There may be more "flavors" in the brand family than I'm aware of, but I've only had the amber and liked it a lot. Haven't been able to find it anywhere in a few years. I read something, somewhere, on the internets, that it's no longer available in the U.S. Don't know if it's true or not. Any of you U.K. fellows familiar with it?

Duende Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Can't really drink lager anymore... Tastes like pi55!! Simon, great to see you here my amigo... I am very ashamed to say I just cannot stand 'real' beer. Give me Peroni or Budvar Lager I am happy; but beer just does not do it for me.

freak show Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 There are certain brands of whiskey and cognac that I prefer, but I'm not really very picky about beer. For me beer just has to be cold, cheap and come in a BIG pitcher... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
