JonDixonYT Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I'm a big fan of the local, Yukon Brewing. My fave is the Amber Ale (Yukon Red) but I also like their Strong English (Lead Dawg). I prefer darker, maltier beers, although stouts are a one every couple of months kind of thing for me. Liquor, I like rye, either on the rocks, with some water or a little soda water and gingerale. Not many others though. Wine - I prefer dry whites. About a half glass into a red I get a headache.

RocketsMcGuire Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Ales and stouts. Smithwicks is a personal favourite. Weissbier is nearly too delcious, and chugging a few Bombardiers with the old boys never went too badly.

WizardTrip Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I am a fan of a good old fashioned, or a rye whiskey on the rocks. Gin and tonic with fresh lime is a perennial favorite. Wine wise in summer I love a big chardonnay or a mine rally sav blanc. Reds I like big and full of tannin, leather and the kind of flavors that make you feel like you just grew a beard and need to punch a bear. Yes to a good ole fashioned!

Eilyd Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I like most alcohol that's not beer (the best I ever did was finish a glass of pumpkin, but that was with cinnamon and sugar on the edge). There's a winery called Foxburg a few hours away from me that has such sweet wine I'd rather have it than dessert. Liquor wise I love me some tequila (Espolon), and Captain Morgan's Black Spiced Rum and Private Stock. I used to be one for fruity mixed drinks (yay daiquiris!) but now I'm in love with savory. A margarita cocktail (light on the sugar) and a bitter daiquiri cocktail are high on the list right now. Anything made with chocolate milk is also good. It's made worse (though I prefer to think better!) by the fact that my husband has a well-stocked mini bar in the dining room. Sake is also good. To quote a conversation on DnD night:Player: "Is that water or light tea that you're drinking out of a sake cup?"Me: "Neither; I'm drinking sake out of a sake cup."Player: "Sometimes you are so fuckin' cool!"Which just amused me to no end.

TheOtherScott Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Beer: I'm not super picky, but I absolutely love the craft beer scene here in Ontario. IPA, bock, porter, stouts, wheat beer... all awesome. And a good, well-made lager is also welcome. But I love beer. I'm drinking a raspberry wheat beer from Kawartha Lakes Brewing right now, in fact. Wine: Red and dry. I'm way nerdier about beer than wine, but I love a good red. Other: I dig rum. I went to a rum distillery in Cuba, and they have some absolutely fantastic aged rum there. Haven't taken the time to properly appreciate a good scotch yet, but it's on my to-do list. In general, I don't really go for mixed drinks (though I've enjoyed the occasional rusty nail). Rum and coke and I are no longer on speaking terms, let alone drinking terms. PR's5k - 21:2910k - 47:26 43:2921.1 - 2:05:26 1:44:21 Link to comment

Anduril Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 After that I stick with a rum and coke. It's almost always Bacardi but the other night I got a special with Captain Morgan that was pretty good. I'm really poor from being in college so I can't afford any good alcohol yet haha. Castillo gold is an inexpensive rum ($9 a bottle here) that makes a GREAT rum and coke. ETA: I don't like beer, but I do like sweet wines and mixed drinks (appletinis are my favorite at the moment, but I also like screwdrivers with Grey Goose in them, and of course rum n coke). I also like to sip a shot glass of Kahlua once in a while. I used to like margaritas but tequila and I haven't been getting along lately.

Ananke86 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 I'm not a beer fan (too yeasty for my liking) but I enjoy the Strongbow Pear cider we get on occasion. We distill our own spirits so the majority of what I drink is a homemade rum (no bite and it's quite sweet) but I also love liquors like black anise, drambuie, and the fruity ones I mix up from homebrew like raspberry, strawberry, apple and peach. If we go out I love me some milky cocktails, especially one I found recently that was Chocolate Chili Fight now, cry later. Link to comment
SuperUnison Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 I'm a Guinness man most of the time. Tastes delicious and is full of tasty, tasty calories! Partial to red wine, though I tend to select this depending on what's on special offer. :s Will drink rum on a night out, though it can make me boisterous. Subthread- hangovers- do you get them? These days I rarely drink more than 2 pints as hangovers can be horrific! In my 20s wasn't nearly as bad, but these days they just prevent me doing anything, and I don't like feeling like I've lost a day! Link to comment
JeffyB Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Beers - anything outside of the big "American" 3; usually Shiner (being here in TX) or Leinenkugels (since I can't get any MN beers here in TX); usually German, Belgian, Trappist beers for European styles. I miss the "drachenblut" mead from the German Medieval Markets, but have been enjoying some from the small local meaderies in the area.

obax Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Not a huge drinker, but when I do it's usually a lighter-tasting beer, micro brew when I can find it. There's one by Flying Monkey that I can never remember the name of that I like a lot. I have discovered I don't like hoppy beers and am not overly fond of wheat beers (some are ok). I like dark beers including Guinness, but only in small doses, I can't usually get through a whole pint. Not a wine fan, generally, nor a hard liquor fan, though I do enjoy the flavour of whiskey mixed with things. I feel like I could come to appreciate wine if I tried, but thus far haven't seen a need to try. My real favourites are cider and mead. I had a Polish mead once, brought from Poland by a Polish guy, and drunk by me and a whole group of others around a campfire under a starry sky and northern lights, and that was the beginning of my love of mead. I really want to try making it myself, specifically with juniper berries (thanks to Skyrim for that inspiration). As for cider, I'm discovering there's a huge variety, both in terms of taste and quality, and have yet to discover a real favourite, but many are in the running. Dare mighty things Link to comment

Tarmac Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I've never been much for beer - honestly, something about carbonation and alcohol has always turned my stomach. My preference is typically for the occasional bourbon (I love Angel's Envy, but more typically I'll stick to Woodford Reserve), but lately I've started switching that out for red wine - I'm rather partial to cabernet sauvignon, or the occasional petit sirah...

Archbishop Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Beer, wine, cider, I lump them all into "tastes like nothing I want to drink." Good whiskey though...And a snifter of neat scotch to go with my pipe is one of the best things for a nice evening. Gin and Tonic, Long Island, Rum (pretty much any which way, but it has to be good, anything less than 20 a bottle is not good.), Brandy, Mojito, Daiquiri, etc.I've gotten Eilyd drinking cocktail margaritas now, which is great since they really have nothing in them. Also A good daiquiri with a few splashes of bitters makes for a really good drink. Archbishop Turpin, above the rest, Spurred his steed to a jutting crest. His sermon thus to the Franks he spake: "Lords, we are here for our monarch's sake; Hold we for him, though our death should come; Fight for the succor of Christendom. The battle approaches - ye know it well, For ye see the ranks of the infidel. Cry mea culpa, and lowly kneel; I will assoil you, your souls to heal. In death ye are holy martyrs crowned." The Franks alighted, and knelt on ground; In God's high name the host he blessed, And for penance gave them - to smite their best.

humanperson832 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Sangria girl here. I love sweet stuff. I used to drink captain and diet for YEARS but it makes me nauseous now! 2 great summer drinks: St. Germaine, Plymouth, freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. OMG. Or blackberry vodka+lemonade+muddled blackberries. Mmmm. There's fruit in there... it's not THAT bad ;-) Beer: currently all about Shipyard apple something - it's like a beer and a cider had a baby, lol. But otherwise I drink Blue Moon.or Sam Adams Summer Ale.St. Germaine!!! It's perfect in club soda. Just the most perfect summery drink. Think I'd like it even better with some basil or mint. Yum. Just wish it wasn't so expensive I'm not much of a drinker in general, but when I do, I'm not super picky. I get a Grateful Dead when the goal is to be sufficienctly toasty by the end of the night. Just one of those and I'm good. That hasn't happened in a while, though, so I usually stick to beer (Yuengling, Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat, Sweetwater Blue) or a good, stiff drink (vodka soda, gin & tonic, both with lime).My roommate is ALL about some margaritas, but I'm not much for it. A particular Cinco de Mayo restaurant experience kind of ruined them for me. (The kitchen was so backed up that we didn't get our food for an hour and a half. The margs, however, kept on coming. My friends had to drive my car home that night. Super embarrassing.) Link to comment
humanperson832 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Oh, and when my best friend and her husband got married, they served honey-laced mead for the toast at the rehearsal dinner. YUMBERS. (Husband is a history buff. Very fitting.) Link to comment
cracked_belle Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 tequilla and whiskey are my preferences. though I try to go with red wine, if I'm going to drink. there is never a sudden revelation, a complete and tidy explanation for why it happened, or why it ends, or Why or Who you are. you want one and I want one, but there isn't one. it comes in bits and pieces, and you stitch them together wherever they fit, and when you are done you hold yourself up, and still there are holes and you are a rag doll, invented, imperfect. and yet you are all that you have, so you must be Enough. there is no other way. ― Marya Hornbacher, Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia Link to comment
