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.

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

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.

There is a brewery in Fort Worth (very close to Dallas, about 40 mins away) called Rahr and Sons.

Not sure how popular they are (if at all) outside of north Texas, but they make really good beer with some ridiculous names like Ugly Pug (black lager) and Buffalo Butt (amber lager).  I'm not a beer connoisseur or anything, but so far that's the best I've had.

Caipirinha, Single Malt Scotch, dark wheat beer. But I'll try anything, from the cheapest mix to the high-end ****. Contrary to the impression the last sentence may give, I don't drink often. Maybe once every two months.

If you're German, try to get your hands on some Andechser Dunkel. It's really good beer.

Prob my favorite grocery store (cheap) beer.  I like both the regular & the darker black & tan.  Sometimes Micahlobs Amberbock to mix it up.

The Yuengling brewery is like a 8 minute drive from my house :D

http://www.yuengling.com/breweries/tampa/

I should go take a tour of it one day.


Saw a lot of tequila talk - a brand that is really good and not well known nor too expensive I think is Gran Centenario.  I was at Wine & More and they were out of the standard stuff so I got a bottle of Roseangel - http://www.deadasweknowit.com/1166827/Rosangel-Tequila

Those were some of the best margaritas I ever had.

Flensburger Pilsener ftw! But I really don't know if it's possible to buy it somewhere else than Germany. Hell, sometimes it's even hard to find in the rest if Germany. But it's a really good beer, and not too expensive.

I like the fact that the legal drinking age for beer and wine is 16 here! Whoo!

But still I sometimes enjoy a whisky. Glenmorangie is one of my favourites.

And when I'm with friends "Hansen Präsident" (That's "Rum Verschnitt", literally "blended rum". A mixture of Jamaican Rum, rectified spirit and water. Cheap, and fine for mixing) with Cola is fine too.

I agree, the Yuengling lager and the Yuengling black & tan are both quite delicious.  The black & tan is much smoother, and I almost prefer it over the lager.  It may be time for me to take a road trip up to New York and buy a case or two.

This thread makes me thirsty.

If you like Yuengling you should try Shinerbock.  It tastes extremely similar except it's brewed in Texas instead of Tampa.  If you ever visit the Tampa area be sure to take a tasting tour of the Cigar City Brewery.

I got myself wrecked on some of this filth again recently.



£2.50 for a 3 litre bottle at 7.5%, so 225ml of alcohol.  That's almost as much as a 750ml bottle of vodka, or a similar spirit.  If you're a sick loser like myself that will chug down any foul tasting liquid in search of a "bargain" I highly recommend it.

Had my first Old Fashioned last night! It was surprisingly good. I asked for it with Crown Royal. I guess I'm just a liquor noob but I would cringe every time because of the whisky taste but it was still good. Can definitely taste the sugars and the fruit. Will try again.

I've tried several different types of beer and can't get into any of them.  I think it's probably the alcohol.


What types of beer? Is the alcohol super prevalent in the ones you've tried? There are some beers that have pretty high ABV where you can't taste the alcohol at all.

The New Belgium Belgo looks good! You might want to try looking for Stone's version of a Belgian IPA. Hear that one's mighty tasty. NB's Trippel is very good as well.

Yeah it's a nice one, perhaps my favorite of theirs. I like IPA, and Belgian spiced, and it's like the best of both. Their trippel is ok, but nowhere near as good as some of the actual Belgian abbey ones, and is not cheap enough compared to make me compromise. Never heard of Stone, I don't think they sell it in my area.

Cigars huh? I've had a couple which were failures. I didn't know how to light them properly. I finally lit one correctly and had a great smoke which lasted for at least 45 minutes or so, but the taste notes that you're supposed to get from them... I don't know. It wasn't Cuban quality mind you but it was an alright one. Fruit notes, etc I don't get. Again, I'm not well versed in cigars (I used to smoke cigarettes and found the difference in Camel and Marlboro tabacco) so I guess it's just experience based.

Cigars huh? I've had a couple which were failures. I didn't know how to light them properly. I finally lit one correctly and had a great smoke which lasted for at least 45 minutes or so, but the taste notes that you're supposed to get from them... I don't know. It wasn't Cuban quality mind you but it was an alright one. Fruit notes, etc I don't get. Again, I'm not well versed in cigars (I used to smoke cigarettes and found the difference in Camel and Marlboro tabacco) so I guess it's just experience based.

Yeah, I can't quite appreciate cigars yet.  Whenever I smoke a cigar, I immediately feel queasy.  I get a similar reaction if I smoke an entire Marlboro Red... I smoked for a year and reds still made me feel sick.  I've been told I'm inhaling too much of the smoke, and that I'm supposed to swish it around my mouth for a bit.  eck.

Every time I've smoked a cigar out of politeness it's been an unenjoyable experience.  If you're not supposed to inhale then what's the point?

1. the taste
2. you incorporate nicotine over everything: eat it, hold it to your skin, let smoke get into your mouth.
people died by smuggling tobacco leafes on their skin under their clothes. this is how good you incorporate nicotine over the skin. and why you better hide cigarettes from your children. when they eat them they might die. and why nicotine gums and such work.

I just like a cigarillo to my beer. Or even something bigger than this if you have the time.

I had a cigar yesterday and each time I've had one before, I can't stand the way my mouth tastes and I constantly need to spit. I feel like I'm going to swallow poison if I swallow my own spit while smoking a cigar. I know the taste is the most important factor and you're not supposed to inhale the cigar smoke at all but damn. The smoke itself I'm fine with, but the taste it leaves after... ick.
