What's your favorite beer?

[memorydream]

I can buy a bottle of Absinthe a block and a half from my house, but i live in a bit of a rough neighbourhood. By Canadian standards, that is. When you say drink Absinthe with sugar, what exactly do you mean Sceptic?
~Histrionica~

From what I have read, of early American riverboat days, and what the French did: was you poured it in a glass, put a knife (butter knife) along the top and put a cube of sugar on it. Then, you poured water on the sugar cube until it dissolved and went into the Absinthe. Then it would take on a different color. Probably one of the biggest pre-cursors to mixed drinks, I would think.

Thanks memorydream. Now i'm curious to maybe try a sip.

Well, enjoy it. It's still illegal here in the States and last I recall they seemed to have an opinion of it that it was pretty much a Narcotic here. Still, to make it really good, it's supposed to take a lot of time to make. More info at: sepulchritude.com/chapelperilous/absinthe/index.html

Absinthe may be illegal here, but you can order a bottle on line and have it shipped here. It's not illegal to import, just to sell.

Yuengling lager

Just for informational purposes: The stuff with the formaldehyde is Sang Thip Royal Thai Liquor. It's basically rice whiskey; the version I have is the "superior", meaning it's aged 5 years.

It actually tastes pretty good, but I tend to save it for extreme cases. It's also hard to come by, and since I don't have any people in Thailand any more, this bottle has to last. If you have any mates in Australia who holiday in Thailand, try to get them to mail you a bottle.

San Miguel, Estrella Dorada and (german people would kill me but) i love Henninger Premium

[ForrestBlack]

I really like a few rounds of Sake Bombs with a bunch of friends. I like the cans that Sopporo has, but I enjoy Asahi more. I usually drink Heineken though.

[CPRB]

well like English Beers. Boddigntons, is good, Smitwicks....geman beer Becsk or I like the doble bocks.....Somone mentioned Chimay form Belguim it's expensive but good. Stienlager form NZ isn't bad Sparo is good too...I like my beer but I avoid it as much as possible I don't need to invest in a beer gut yet

[MidniteCliche]

when I did drink, it was always a nice cold Bud. (I'm white trash.)

[TheQuietPlace]

I'm not a beer person. One occasion though i was tempted to try a beer called Blue Moon Dessert Beer, (a resturaunt back home has a "round the world in beers" thing), from some european country or another, this was along time ago. It was quite good, but still not quite my type of drink. Vodka and Cranberry for me (NO LIME!).
K

I'm not a beer person either...
That Vodka and Cranberry sounds good...

[darki]

pretty much all German beer tastes good.

that's right.
it has to be fresh, that's the whole secret.

[Slave326667]

On tap- Guinness.
Casual drinking- bacardi silver/ smirnoff ice triple black (yeah, I looove bitch beer, now silence your face!)
Gimme a 40, I'm gettin FUCKED!- Mickeys

[Cthulhu23]

Guinness.......with a Bushmill's back lol

[Bloodcountess]

I frequently buy Euroshopper beer (You'll probably won't know the brand, it's the cheapest you'll find, only 59 eurocents per 0,5 liter) Everyone in amsterdam calls it Zwerverbier, Bum-beer when translated to english (no, that's not bum as in "ass")

[OliX]

If it's beer, then is Plzenjsko Pivo (Plzenj=Pils) or Staropramen (two old scool beer's coming from tchek's)
then.... HEKTAP (nektar) from my hometown 11,9% alcohol.... a real infusion

p.s. I still have half bottle of Van Gogh absinthe at home (for special cases)
and I don't drink so often

[pedar]

root beer- I'm going through all the home brew brands...turns out theres a big market there for us ex-drinkers.P.

[Oil~Boy 26]

[Amethyst]

I mostly drink finnish beers, my favourit is the local one called Karhu= A Bear. It even came to third place on some very big beer festivals this year. From imported ones I like Guinness and Carlsberg. Absinthe is some evil stuff, last I drank it I became so funny that I nearly got beaten up by group of 40 people.

[countessnichole]

Guinness girl here. It's because I had an irish nana whose influence came over me. I used to steal sips of it during St. Pattys day when I was younger, over the traditional corn beef, cabbage and soda bread I ate.

I also enjoy a good wine

If you ever go to Tornio, there is a beer making plant there, and every few days all you can smell is beer. Let me tell you, you better like beer, thats all you can smell for hours.

Yes I found it very funny but I am so greatfull that my friend dragged me away before they got me

I don't think it's imported anywhere else than Sweden that is your neighbouring country.

There's a beer factory here too and yes, it smells like hell. It can be really horrible but you get used to it. It smells like beer porridge
