that shit was horrible and my head hurt after two :pacspit
get your shit together Diunx, your country's beer sucks :pacspit
What's a good beer that I can find at a grocery store? I want to expand my horizons beyond Mike's Hard and scotch.

sierra nevada pale ale is nice for summery days, and you can get it just about anywhere
-
Try this stuff called natty light
Goes well with black velvet
-
Corona is a good drink. I like it. :yeshrug
Get a lime and some salt and I'm good.
-
(http://i.minus.com/jFcyYoknv3UDx.png) you really making a thread shitting on cervezas and you pick Corona? Anyway, drink bourbon.
I didn't buy it. My brother got a big pack at Sam's Club. He said they love this shit in Africa. :holeup
-
Maurice it's fall. Get pumpkin ales. Get Blue Moon Pumpkin Ale.
-
Something available at a grocery store? Are there New Belgium products? I think something like a Fat Tire is a good place to start microbrew-wise (New Belgium has several other beers that are also quite good).
-
There should be a good Blue Moon variety pack at your local store. It may be more expensive than a normal six pack but it'll be worth it. I see Blue Moon has a new beer out that's not...Blue Moon. Gotta try that shit.
But Blue Moon Pumpkin Ale is a fall tradition for me. Blue Moon is my favorite beer brand. Watch Gundam come in here and chastise me. :shaq

There's an actual pumpkin flavor?
Another problem with Corona is that it doesn't take like anything but bleh alcohol. I put a teaspoon of sugar in my second bottle and all it did was fuzz up, didn't change the taste :beli

Yes. You need to act fast because they sell out fast.

Every season has its own seasonals, dude. fall/football season is Pumpkin season. All the breweries bring out their pumpkin ale batches for fall. It's a joyous time.

Eh, Blue Moon was kind of my entrypoint into "craft" (quotes used because Blue Moon is no more of a macro than a microbrew) beers, and I still don't mind it. Gundam is obviously a bigger beer aficionado than me, but I'll agree that it's hardly remarkable. Though I won't look down on anyone for liking it as it's entirely drinkable.
-
My real appreciation for Blue Moon comes from having it on tap with a slice of orange. Blue Moon on tap is :lawd

The beer snob in me says that a good beer doesn't need a slice of orange. But that sounds condescending, so I'll just shut up now.
-
imma try Blue Moon then.
-
I like guiness layered on top of blue moon, a 'black and blue'. Shit is great
Guiness is one of a few beers I absolutely can't stand. I'd rather have a can of Beast Ice if given the choice between it and Guiness.
-

If you happen to notice the existence of New Belgium's Mothership Wit, I recommend that instead. It's also a Belgian White that is somewhat common, though not as common as Blue Moon.
-
I'm extremly offended by this thread and would like to report PD with the nearest board moderator.
By the way the only Mexican piss I drink is Mupepe's
Corona :piss2
Presidente :bow2
-
Not that I've tried a lot of Mexican beer, but I honestly don't mind Dos Equis. Corona is awful though.
-
Dos Equis isn't bad.

:sabu :sabu :sabu treating a beer like its fucking koolaid
even the great thread title cant redeem you for this shit
-
Lol just read the rest of the thread, putting sugar in beer? nicca please.
-
also ive heard some beer snobs shit on it but i love abitas pecan harvest ale for my fall drinking
-
ITT: PD reveals more strange tastes and practices from his odd up bringing. You do the weirdest things, man. I applaud you for attempting new things though.
Maybe you'd be more of a wine person than beer though, maybe even hard ciders. I enjoy ciders myself
-

I've never had it. But I do like the Abita Amber.

People put salt in alcohol, sugar isn't anything different

Not often. I'm not much of a cocktails guy, but off the top of my head, salt is mainly just an option for the rim of a margarita glass.

Yeah they have that here in the UK now. A surprisingly decent drop for a widely-stocked beer.
Blue Moon is fucking ghastly though. How anyone can drink that over even Hoegaarden is beyond me.
-
Oh yeah and Corona is poor but it does a job in summer. Asahi is still my go-to big brand beer for a summer's day though.
-
Cider is good but its gotta be one of the no added sugar ones.
I usually get something local and/or organic, where the only ingredients are apples and yeast. But I live in Portland, where that's doable.
-
Maurice, you need to stick to American wheat beers. They are the perfect compliment to anything you want to add sweet to them (lemon, orange, sugar, whatever).
They are a good way to break you in to acquiring the taste for heavier beers. Gateway beer.

Well, Hoegaarden is an import that isn't widely available around me. It's certainly not something you can pick up at a convenience store, for instance. The grocery stores with decent beer selections will often have it.
Aside from the Mothership I mentioned earlier, Deschutes has a pretty good Belgian White, but the name alludes me. And in terms of Belgian style beers in general, I've really taken a liking to Tripels.
-

:yeshrug
Dude, salt is there because it enhances the taste of the lime/lemon in margarita drinks. You don't put the salt in the alcohol, you put the alcohol in your mouth, lick a little salt, swig it, and swallow.
-
PD, get some Four Loko, playa. :jawalrus
-
Man it's a shame beer is so heavy. We could have some sort of awesome Bore beer exchange thing otherwise. :(
-
I fucking hate beer snobs. Such an incredibly stupid fucking hobby. It's beer. It gets you drunk for ffs. UGH. UGH. UGH. UGH.
UGH.

Given his love for that Hard Lemonade shit, I'd be surprised if he hasn't. Margaritas are totally up his alley compared to say, beer.
-
When I go to the bar with friends I just get Mike's, White Russians, or scotch. I've had Miller Lite and shit like that, not a fan.
-
Speaking of Mike's, I just thought back to how much I laughed at the pure disgust of Lennedsay's husband when he had to wait in line at an outdoor festival for some biker guy to get a Mike's Hard Strawberry Lemonade, and he needed ice for it. And apparently, this wasn't for his wife or anything.
-
Then you like drinks with punch and taste. Order up a margarita next time.
Aside from the scotch, your preference seems to be cocktails. I am the same way.
-

Well Miller Lite sucks but it sounds like you just need to develop your palate. Does anyone really like beer, coffee or cigarettes right off the bat? I don't think so but all three are fucking awesome.
-
PD, real talk, no troll, order a madras next time you're at bar, you'll like it. It's vodka with cranberry and orange juice. My brother drinks them all the time.
Maybe try a Jameson (or similar whiskey) with gingerale.
-
Mike's doesn't a do a very good job of masking the booze. I drink some pretty strong stuff like Imperial IPAs, Barleywines and Barrel-aged Imperial Stouts, but those are much smoother and balanced.
-
Madras :drool

The old CC and Dry is a classic.

I miss cigs, goddamit Polari. Fuck you.
-
I was never much of a smoker, but I miss clove cigarettes. Out lawed for being too tasty (and douchey)
Yes I realize you can get tobacco rolled djarums now, but it ain't the same

Gonna quit when I get home next month fml :'(

So you've never had Gin, Tequila, Rum?
Rum mixed drinks might actually be exactly up your alley PD.
Lets have a bore meet up where we just make Maurice try things.

Can you get real clove cigs there? I thought it was a federal ban. And naw, Vantucky is close enough for me to hop up to for sudafed or whatever :P Do you think the pot stores will let me dodge sales tax with my Oregon ID? :ohhh

That's a good question, I wonder if the WA Liquor Control Board (in charge of developing the marijuana laws) has even talked about that.
Try to buy liquor/alcohol in WA and see if you can get a tax exemption. That should answer your question.
-
Djarums haha. Those will fuck your shit, man
-
I'm considering just smoking weed for my smoking needs but it just ain't the same. :(
-
Ah but you can buy liquor at Freddie's up there now, so it might not be the same. I wonder how much that decision affected the willingness to let pot legalize, since I assume the WLCC lost some power with that.
-
That classic list is great, but no white russian/black russian/rum n coke is :gurl worthy. I find that finding a bartender who can cook up a good Old Fashioned is hard. Most don't even know how to make it.
-
I tend to stick to the classics, though I am a fan of the Buttery Nipple.
My classics roster:
- white russian (fave alcy drink and is my go to)
- black russian (second fave)
- tom collins
- margarita
- banshee
- gin and tonic
- manhattan
- dry martini
:rejoice cocktails :rejoice
Most overrated cocktail? Bloody Mary. I've never had a good bloody mary. Tastes like shit. Then again I think any tomato drink is gross. Regular V8 :yuck :yuck :yuck :yuck
-
Nicca, Tom Collins' are not gay. :wag
-
White Russians can just be a bit heavy for me to drink on all night. We used to make a bastardized version that was Irish cream, vodka, coffee liqueur. So just a glass of booze to drink.
My staple is Gin and Tonic, sometimes whiskey gingerale, beyond that I'll try featured cocktails. I like stuff with absinthe in it. Bloody maries are good if they're spicy.
-
Dude, get a banana banshee. :gladbron

As long as no one ever, ever makes a vodka martini. Ever.

I switched to an e-cig but I missed djarum blacks so much since they were pretty much all I smoked. I just ordered a clove ejuice though and I'm going to see how well it works.
As a substitute for a regular cigarette, these electric things are perfect.
-
A vodka martini is fucking pointless
-
Yeah all I know about wine is I like red
-
Contra are you a certified sommelier?
Hahahahaha fuck no. No interest at all.
-
I love wine. I'll take it over straight rum, whiskey, scotch, vodka, etc. any day. I really like those hard drinks in mixed drinks.
-
There's a lot that goes into being a somm that I have no interest in. You need to know a lot about wines you might not necessarily like, and spend a lot of timing tasting them. No thanks.
-
fuck all yall, vodka martinis 4 lyfe (cocktail onion in the bottom, splash of olive juice)
gin tastes like someone drank a bottle of pine sol and pissed it into a bottle

I love heading into the high desert of eastern Oregon, once you get over the mountain you're hit with that juniper smell and it makes me just need some good gin.
-
I don't see how you can dislike a good cocktail made with gin. especially with all the varieties out now.
:bombaysapphirecry
Forever the gin of 1990s yuppies.
-
i like vodka martinis and dont give a shit. i still like gin too, but a vodka martini has that special bitter burn that i like so much. i would prolly drink rubbing alcohol tho so take that as you will

Giving you points for sayin Hendricks but there are lot of gins I'd put above bombay. Have you tried New Amsterdam? It's good, but it's pretty citrusy and approachable for gin.
-
I'm not a big fan of Wine, but I have in my later years discover the virtues of gin
-
Beers for summer: get just about any hefeweizen and put a slice of lemon in it. Or an orange slice.
BTW, if you can find Brash brewery's Item Nine (http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/brash-item-nine/191751/), it is an Imperial Wheat IPA. Jesus, the mouth orgasm.

When I (eventually) get to visit the United States the Pacific Northwest is so high on my list.
How could anyone possibly down a lovely nice cold beer and think "needs sugar :)"
-
I don't really drink :-\
-
I don't know what it is about them, but I can't drink any "ice" beer without getting a headache. I can drink pure shit like Steel Reserve and be just fine, but sometimes I start getting a headache WHILE I drink something like an Icehouse. I don't drink much at all nowadays, though. When I do I usually keep it to a couple of mixed drinks, or stick with a nice cider.

This. Gose is a German-style soured wheat beer with a little bit of salt added near the end of brewing. Absolutely fantastic low ABV hot weather beer.
