Favorite Beer (Page 4 of 8)

Well,  I rarely drink beer, but when I do, I guess my favorite would be a Bass Ale.  Beer goes so well with Pizza or Wings or Mexican.  I pretty much stick to wine these days.  (Red and White)  My favorite red is a South African Cabernet Sauvignon and my favorite whites would be a German Spatlese (or sometimes Kabinett).  I'm not much into the hard stuff anymore, but ocassionally I like a decent scotch.  Johnny Walker Black works for me.  Although, I have to say the tropical rum drinks also hit the spot on a hot summer day.  Goombay Smash  minus the 151 is pretty darn good. 

Joe, I doubt many of travel as extensively as you do, but be sure and include your favorite spots for Italy and the UK  in your all inclusive list of favorite places.  I'll be heading over there next year and it would be fun to check out these places.

Okay Joe, you've got my curiosity up......which bars and why don't they like that term? Patty

If I'm ever in a real Irish bar in NY, I will be sure to ask for a Gin Slick......and maybe after a couple I'll just sing "We all live in a Yellow Submarine......."   

P.S.  Do you suppose a midwestener could get away with that....my last name is Patrick....so it would be appropriate for me to be in an Irish bar............

Hey David,
What an awesome event! I'm a huge fan of American microbrews. It's really the only type of beer I buy these days. I looked at the list of brewers that will be there and it's pretty impressive. I betcha that some of those home brews are pretty fantastic as well. Have a great time and remember to pace yourself!

ROY - When is that "good Saturday night" in Milw?  Not that I drink or anything!  As
you have witnessed I'm weird enuf on Diet Pepsi !

Oh boy what a topic.  Let's see:

Beer (in no real particular order):

Guinness Draught and Extra Stout,  Sam Adams Boston Lager and Boston Ale,  Rogue's Dead Guy Ale and Shakespearean Stout, Old Rasputin's Russian Imperial Stout (that will grow hair on your chest, let me tell ya), Czechvar Lager, Samurai Ale, Shiner Bock, Michelob Amber Bock, Budweiser (yes I still like a good ole Bud), Blue Moon, and many more I am probably not even thinking of.

Hard Liquor:  Johnnie Walker (both Black and Red Label, prefer the Black, want to try Gold, Green, and Blue Labels as well), Knob Creek Bourbon, Maker's Mark, Crown Royal, Bushmill's Black Irish Whiskey, Grey Goose Vodka, Skyy Vodka, Stolichnaya Vodka, Meyer's Dark Rum, Beefeater Gin, Bombay Sapphire Gin, oh and did I say Johnnie Walker (I really love that stuff).

Mixed Drinks:  Far too many to really list, but Meyer's Rum and Coke, Whiskey Sours, Long Island Ice Tea, Irish Car Bombs, Eclipses/Black and Tan (or as I call the Guinness and Blue Moon combo:  Dark Side of the Moon), ect.

Wines:  Egri Bikaver Bull's Blood, Yellowtail Shiraz, and many more.  Unfortunately I haven't had nearly the number of different wines that I have other alcohols, but that is something I intend to change.  I really like the Bull's Blood and for about $10 a bottle you can't beat it in my mind.  Very rich and full flavored.
