i'm not usually one for mixing alcohol with pop/soda straight up, but SC and Dr. Pepper... love it.

Same here, I don't like mixing drinks (I had a bad experience with that once). I'll just drink SoCo straight from the bottle.

Coopers is probably one of the last proper Australian beers left. If you want to try a good Australian beer, Coopers is hard to beat.

I like beer to be heavy, bitter, and hoppy. Here in Georgia the Terrapin Rye Pale Ale is pretty good, out west Rogue Shakespeare Stout.

For common brews, I ask for any kind of IPA, then I like Guinness, St Pauli Girl, and Heineken or Budweiser if it comes down to that.

Ales for drinking along with food, lagers when food is not involved.

Single malts are exquisite, lower grade Irish whiskey is usually better than low-grade Scotch whisky.

Although I was born and raised in Tennessee, bourbon is better than "Tennessee Whiskey" and I prefer Ezra Brooks bourbon for drinking on a budget. I like it straight up, or with light rocks and soda if need be.

Otherwise, a really good margarita is hard to beat. Or a gimlet (don't let them hand you vodka!).

Before dinner a dry sherry is a good aperitif.

Glad to see so much discussion here! Great brews all around and the liquor talk makes me want to try it more often!

fohat.digs: I hear that Terrapin is an overall great brewery. Consensus from /r/beer over on Reddit is that they make excellent stuff. Rogue is great, but I think they're a bit overpriced for what they have to offer. Their Dead Guy is great. Other than that, they're kind of overpriced and from what I've heard, they're kind of really big ****s to their employees. Read an article on it but meh, I could not have read into it much.

mr626: Glad to see there are some good brews down under!

Computer-Lab: Wish I can get Yuengling here. I've always wanted to try it. I hear it's decent, better than Bud/macros, and is nearly as cheap. Good stuff!

Oh, Bushmill's Irish whiskey is great too.

I was wondering if german stores are the only ones that do that. It tastes good if you drink it out of a glas. More on the bitter side though. Much hop.

I remember seeing 2 liter type pop bottles of beer here at the LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario). I don't see them any more (not that I have really looked). I highly doubt that they are popular.

sordna · « **Reply #45 on:** Sat, 24 December 2011, 02:58:26 »

Beer is good. Just NOT the beers that are heavily advertised on the media :-)
Some favorites:
Spaten, Warsteiner, Full Sail Amber, Steelhead Extra Pale Ale. The latter comes from Mad River brewing company, it has a very pleasant floral character. I sometimes find it at Whole Foods. Here's a pic from their website:

Yeah, I'd love to get some real mountain dew round here. The UK has Mountain Dew Energy and it tastes like crap.

Ukraine has plastic bottles beer, but only large ones like 2-3l. It's the really cheap brands like Arsenalnoye, Lvivske and cost around equivalent of 1euro. You see those bald guys in tracksuits drinking it loitering around metro stations. I remember drinking some cheap piss in Czech in plastic too something like Zlato, and of course the dreadful Newmarkt in plastic jug in Romania but it cost like 30cent.
In the US I see cheap beer like Coors in plastic at the race track. They stopped having glass since people were throwing them at the horses when they were loosing.

Malphas · « **Reply #51 on:** Sat, 24 December 2011, 14:15:07 »

Every few years they talk about banning glass in the city I live in, due to everyone glassing each other at the weekend.

I've been a beer fiend for the last year and almost completely stopped buying cheap beer and liquor.

West Coat represent:

The Lost Abbey/ Port Brewing (SD)
Hair of the Dog (PDX)
Russian River (Santa Rosa)

Any Seattlites should check out Super Deli Mart!

Who wants to trade beers?

Fun fact: The Czechs invented the Pilsner.

Anyone ever had Innis & Gunn Oak Aged beer?

It basically tastes like a sweetened whiskey made into a beer. It's crazy expensive, but crazy good.
