Conquer Club

Alright, Luns101 came up with the idea and I'm running with it.
What's your favorite alcoholic beverage? Beer, wine, bourbon, whisky, vodka, rum?

I happen to be a homebrewer so my favorite is beer. I really don't have a favorite style, I really do love all kinds.

Bourbon is really good. America's true contribution to distilled spirits (although the moonshiners might have something to say about that).

Rum is ok, have to be in the mood for it.

But Scotch.......oh the lovely Scotch Whisky. Single malt, 18+ years old. Heaven in a bottle.

But beer is by far my favorite. I love the history of beer, the art of brewing, and the science of it.

So.......... thoughts?

Absinthe beer and scoth... And not any of that lame absinthe bullshit either, but full wormwood extract!!!

If you can find a vintage (pre-1919) bottle of French Pernod, you'd be stylin'.
Not cheap though, Iv'e seen them for $500+ per bottle.

If you're really interested in Absinthe, check out:

finally, a topic worth talking about in the social lounge.
I prefer a mix of many of the licquors up there, but chose vodka as my fave, with rum & gin being close behind. Mai Tai's and Monsoons are my fave mixed drinks.

You know its funny you mention that, because I'm now looking at a bottle of Appleton State Jamaican Rum I have that is quite tasty.

hmmm........

maybe I'm in the mood now......

well all of the above except gin, if im out it is normally alager or cider topped up with a few jd's or whiskey. at home i prefer a nice red wine unless some mates are around to get wasted then we will hit the tequila

mmm appelton estate rum good choice, i visited the appelton estate factory last october while in jamaica, sadly i have none left of what i bought back

i'm a beer guy, i've got the bodily proportions to prove it as well. My fave being scotch style ale from Boundary Bay (micro brewery in Bham WA) or Mcewins 80 (remembered fondly from my year abroad, when i went back to visit it wasn't quite what i remembered). Next on the list is Chimay - the blue label please (then white then red). When i moved down here to the desert its all Bud & Coors light country - piss water. I haven't had what i would consider a good beer, something i can tell people 'hey you should try this' in 8 months. No good scotch ales, and not a single store in town has Chimay - i've literally checked every grocery store and liquor store in a 10 mile radius. Although when i went to Mexico for my bday i did get some good Pacifico, not the watered down export version.

BOO ALCOHOL.

I voted wine - I'm no expert in it or anything, but it's super, especially reds.

But only at home, mind, and certain social functions. You'd never see me drinking fuckin' wine in the pub.

There was already a non-liquor version of this thead, so I limited my choices only to hard A, as they call it.

I love Gin. Bombay Sapphire. On the rocks. With tonic. A la Delilah. With red vermouth for a fake Pimms Cup.

Delicious.

Scotch Ale & Belgians. Now you are a man (I assume ) that I could go drinking with.
Check out the link in my profile, has some good Belgian info in it.
Also, have you tried Orkney Brewery's "Skull Splitter"?
Has to be my favorite Scotch Ale.

No "All of the above" option? Shame… I've never really been much for the harder liquors though. I've always liked a nice red wine or a good beer.

Good point, never thought of that......

Next week, I believe, a beer superstore is opening in my city that will sell, they promise, EVERY SINGLE KIND OF BEER FROM EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD that is legal to sell in the U.S.

That's a bold statement. Do you get a prize if you can name a beer they don't have?

My mom wont let me drink alchohol, but cola is alright.

I started drinking in grade 7… Well, no, that's not true. I was drinking earlier, but I didn't actually get drunk until grade 7.
