ChanMan Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Local Delicacy- Gentleman Jack..... Jack Daniel's fine sipping whiskey. Mmm, mmm good! I agree, here, Wild Turkey is considered more middle of the road than either high or low end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitarooster52 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Put me down for "other". I like to stick to my "W's"...water or wine....can't do whiskey anymore...definitely not good with Rye in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Deadhead Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Dandelion and Burdock every time..... .....or Bourbon. Hey guys - can you help me out here. How is Wild Turkey rated in the USA' date=' like good, bad or indifferent. Does the fact that I like [b']Wild Turkey[/b] mark me out as a dork, a fool or a guy with taste and discernment. I have no idea where it sits in the awesome range of Bourbons available, so I need you American Bourbon drinkers to help me out in case I am being a fool. I know - if I like it, that's all that matters. But I wouldn't want to ask for a Wild Turkey and be laughed out of town, yah know..... You wont get laughed out of town. Second choice of premium bourbons after Makers Mark Turkey is known as a high proof whiskey Dont mix good bourbon with anything, drink it over crushed ice straight up.

SRV-Zeppelin Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Jones Soda, without a doubt. btw, Thermionik, if you like Turkey, Jones Soda comes out with turkey and mashed potatoes flavour around Christmas (no joke.) out of the selection.... definitely Coke. I don't hate Pepsi, but Coca Cola is definitely the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Coke or Pepsi don't care I pretty much think they taste the same ? as for DRINK usually Chivas or Jack. Best advice I ever got came from a team leader on a swat team once who said " okay guys if your gonna drink and answer the pager always drink whiskey or scotch never Vodka that way I can smell the booze and know your drunk not stupid. explains a lot when you think it through.

Thermionik Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Old Deadhead - you're kidding me..... ice, man, 'ice is for Americans' (to quote somebody.....). I like my Wild Turkey straight and room temperature. But I thank you for the rest of the advice. Your chaps do make some fine bourbons and ryes, it must be said.

surfpup Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Oh crap! This is my favorite when I feel like splurging - it's $10.99 a 6 pack here. I like the Fuller's ESB (Extra Special Bitter) even bitter. Mmmmmm... guess what I'm buying this weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Fuller's ESB (Extra Special Bitter) even bitter. Mmmmmm... guess what I'm buying this weekend? The bottles and cans are great but you can't beat it draft. If you are ever in London, the best pint of London Pride,without doubt, can be found at The Artillery Arms in Bunhill Row, near to The Honourable Artillery Company, just north of the City of London. I used to work nearby and spent many a lunchtime there. Best Pride you can buy. Currently about £2.80/pint. Until a few years ago, The Artillery Arms had a Bona Friday Club and to join you had to drink 3 pints of ESB on 3 consecutive fridays, and 5 pints on the 4th friday. They have their own tie and still have a xmas lunch in the pub every year. I'm not a member - ESB is not a session beer for me - far too strong but tastes great!

Thermionik Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Albertjohn - I used to pop in to the 'Tillery maybe once a month or so from '70 to '87 - usually using a trip to RS Components off Old Street as an excuse..... I was doing Med Research engineering at Bart's and the (then) missus was a sec'y at the ICA on the corner of Goswell and Old Streets, right by my workplace, and I had mates at the the London College of Furniture (luthiery and other musical stuff). I have to concur on the ESB. Pride or Directors for me - but I ran a bar with Roddy Neame at Bart's - so their beers were my favourites, from force of habit and familiarity..... How goes the no-smoking. Should be easing a little by now. (8 years on and I STILL like to stand where the smoke is blowing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of our bars have the standard Anheuser-Busch selections on tap and little else. There is only one specialty shop I know of that carries the Fuller's in the bottle. Guess I need to hop the pond!

Fond memories of sharing a few pints with several other (Butch) Chartered Accountants watching England lose test matches! Signed up a fair few clients that way too, so it wasn't all fun! So, since Denmark St is a bit of a wash out these days we should have the inaugral UK Homecoming in The Artillery - or The Pride Shop as it is known to me! They used to have an old pup piano in there which was used occasionally so we could probably have a bit of an open mike sesh. What say you Gentlefolk of Britain? Smoking (or lack of it) is going very well thanks. It's been 1 month and 9 days since my last roll-up. Constant dreams of smoking though, which is to be expected as you previously warned me.

There's quite a few of us from the Acoustic side (but not exclusively) who'd welcome the chance to point you guys in the right direction in London and put the world to right over a few pints of Pride. The draft Pride does not, in my experience, travel well, even the 50 miles to my local. It's not the same. So I'm not surprised you don't get it over there. Like I said, the bottles and cans are very good though.
