BEER!!!

[Layabout]

I'd like to know what everyone's favourite beer is. If you don't like beer, then let us know what other alcoholic drink is your favourite. And if you don't drink, well that is your loss!

Cheers,

Pirate Jack.

Vodka and some sort of fruit juice is my favorite.

I don't typically drink beer, because beer in Oklahoma is a bit watered down because state law prohibits (normal) 6 pt. beer.. we have 3.2 pt.  It tastes gross, but out of them all I usually like Coors Light.

I usually drink until my walking skills are affected and then stop or signifcantly slow down, because I like to avoid the throwing up/getting sick part.

Why didn't you post your favorite? Isn't it a bit strange to ask everyone else and not say anything for yourself? I guess since you're a "pirate" I'll assume you like rum.

[Mr Jake]

Stella!

It tastes like Cat piss but after a few who cares!

also Cider is nice

[evenwolf]

I'll just ask the danes, what's up with Tuborg?

on the label it says its approved by the royal danish court?

[Nacho]

Grog!!! Which is actually a drink with a lot of lemon, sugar and Rum (Sorry, no Scumm in the recipe I own...).

I've probably had less beer in the last year than every year since I was 16

I like mixing around with the beers I drink, I like most beers, even VB or Tooheys New, but I'm sick of them, I don't mind Carlton Draught or Extra Dry, but I prefer to drink Cascade Premium, or Boags. The odd Coopers is great too. The odd Toheeys Old aswell (a stout)

Hahn premium light, or Cascade premium light are good for light beers compared to most.

The above are all Australian beers, I don't drink many imported beers, but I do love Guinness & Kilkenny.

I don't really like drinking spirits,

but having shots of black sambuca can top off a good night.

I wouldn't mind experimenting with brewing my own beer this year.

Can't bloody stand beer.  I'm a coffee guy, so it's a little brandy or bailey's for me.  If I go non-coffee, I usually order a Long Island Iced Tea or a Jack & Coke.

[Peter Thomas]

Amen to YakSpit.

I detest beer. I guess it's an acquired taste, but it SMELLS gross, TASTES gross, and it gives heaps of people a beer gut.

I'm a coffee and bailey's man. But then again, I don't drink heaps of coffee (because my dad got addicted to it, and that put me off a bit), so I guess I'm not really a drinker.

I mean, I've never been drunk enough to throw up, or do something stupid. My body tells me when I'm about to drink 'one glass too many', so I stop then.

But hey, if you like fermented, yeasty, frothy crap, it's your life

(NOT ADVERTISING! IT SOUNDS LIKE A SALES PITCH, BUT IT AIN'T! - Understand?!!?!?!111!?!1///!/)

See... my girlfriend will not drink beer because she tells me it smells like pee and tastes like pee, and picks at me for being a beer drinker.  (How she knows what pee tastes like, I don't know...)

I'll admit.  I'm an all-American beer drinker.  I prefer Budweiser.  Not lite, I prefer the full flavor, kinda like my cigarettes.  You can't beat a cold Bud on a bad day.  It just goes down smooth and never disappoints (even though, no matter what kind of beer I drink, I've always got rotgut in the morning).

I will drink anything available such as Coors, or Busch Lite, as Bud is kind of expensive out by me... but if it's available for me to drink without cost, Budweiser is my beer.

The nastiest beer I have ever had has got to be, hands down, any Miller product.

And to anyone who tries to make me stick my foot in my mouth by telling me that Bud is brewed in somewhere, like Europe or something:  you suck.  

But then again... I love beer, and I will try any beer at least ONCE... I've never tried Foster's, but I will come to Aussie just to try it.  (...only a joke, don't flame me Naranjas, or Timmie!)

If you don't like beer, I recommend a screwdriver (vodka & O.J., mixed the CORRECT way).

[Haddas]

I hear there's a beer to honor the California governor? The "Governator".
Is this tha troof?

Anyways. I drink anything that moves... or actually not. I drink everything that's LIQUID. That includes liquour, spirits, coca-cola and beer. I have drunk piss on two occasions, it was not of free will... I think.

[Nine Toes]

...hey, I peed in a bottle and then superimposed my friend to drink it...

Mathew... is that you?

Naw, you seem too intelligent to be my friend...  lol, Haddas!

Favourite beer - Ožujsko!!!!
Other alcohol drinks i like to consume: vodka, tequila, kruškovac(really sweet, made of pears)

I hate:bambus (red wine + cola)

[Las Naranjas]

I won't flame you for the Foster's joke.....but Budweiser?!?!?


Budweiser?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?



But I digress. [although I can understand people being put off beer if Bud was the most common beer around].


Now Guinness....that's like drinking Bach. The most gorgeous of all beers [taking into account I've only tried perhaps 2 1/2 dozen brands and all my homebrewing experiments]

[Nine Toes]

Budweiser?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

But I digress. [although I can understand people being put off beer if Bud was the most common beer around].

Isn't Bud the most common beer?  It is here (just for the sake of arguement).  When I was in high school, we had some German foreign exchange students come to our school for about a month, and we introduced them to Bud, and they said it was weak.  I can understand that, I guess... seeing as Germans drink beer like water.  Hell, they even have beer machines on the streets instead of pop machines!... and I forgot where I was going with this...

Guinness... we have that here.  Are you recommending that I try it?

[DGMacphee]

I drink a lot of dutch beers.

They remind me of family.

If not that, then shots of tequila.

If not that, whatever I can get my grubby little fingers on.

[Las Naranjas]

I think that's why Bud is so widespread, it's like McDonalds. You try to avoid offending different tastes as to get a bigger market, by removing taste.

That said it still tastes awful, even worse than VB and New.

And I do recommend Guinness, which also has a huge distribution globally, despite being good [Kilkenny is equally good but sometimes harder to find].

But you need balls to drink it, but if you don't, it'll give you some.

A German guy asked me a few weeks ago to recommend a "good Australian beer" and he couldn't understand why I laughed so much. I eventually got him to buy an Old, since it was the least offensive beer there.
The strength behing German brewing is an old law that bars the addition of anything but Barley, Hops and water [that's right, you technically can't add yeast. That's means they use yeast from the former brew, which means they have yeast strains that are the result of hundreds of years of breeding, just like fine wines are made from great grape strains]. That prevents the preservatives and brew-fasters that make industrial pseduo pilseners like Bud such an attractive commercial prospect to massive breweries in the rest of the world.

[Eero]

Radler. Actually any alcoholic drink is fine...

[Oliver]

just beeeeeer....ahhh..rrr

[Duzz]

When I'm at a pub or something, I usually drink Guinness if it's on tap, or otherwise usually carlton, or VB.
If I'm just at a party I drink spirits, usually scotch, but more recently i've been drinking gin a fair bit.

Then again, I'll drink anything if it's moderately cheap... =)
