After being OK with pretty much every IPA under the sun, once I tried a couple of Pliny the Elders during a San Fransisco trip nothing has come close. Stone's Ruination Double IPA is about the only relatively easy to find one I've been able to live with, everything else is just "...well, you tried."

If you want a good starter wheat beer I recommend Allagash White!

A good way to start on stouts is with Left Hand's Milk Stout. It's so smooth and creamy even people who hate beer will like it.

I'm not really an alcohol person but I went out and got a 6-pack of this because it sounded real good after looking it up, and it is!

I prefer Lagers and really heavy Stouts, though there's nothing wrong with any type of beer. A good stout is amazing though, it sits so heavily in your stomach and it's thick as hell.

Same with fruit beers. I used to think they were girly, which admittedly is a dumb and sexist thing to think but it's also wrong since fruit mixed with beers is ancient. But anyway some of the best beers I've ever had are fruit beers. I had a strawberry rhubarb one last year that was so good and a local brewery makes batches of Donkey Venom every now and then that is a chocolate and raspberry dessert heaven.

I stopped drinking beer a while ago, because of scoliosis I sometimes take lots of pain pills and I don't hate my liver enough to mix alcohol and acetamenophen

When I do drink these days, I like a good red wine or a single malt Scotch. But really it's weed and Vicodin all the way down

i got put on some muscle relaxants for my back for awhile and i thought it would be not drinking alcohol that got to me for the month it happened, but it was not drinking coffee that truly got to me. now i am in physical therapy and do exercises instead. coffee and beer are good.

I don't really care for IPAs.

Mother is really good. I like dark beers and stouts. Oatmeal stouts especially. Left Hand is really good, and they make a bottled nitro thats rrally nice.

Probably my favorite beer is Old Rasputin Imperial Stout. I mean thete are more expensive.ore fancier beers that Ive tried that are better, but for a "I want to spend ten dollars on 4 beers", Old Rasputin is where it's at.

Ciders are also good. I'll drink either woodchuck or angry orchard, generally whichever has the granny smith flavor available.

The best bourbon you can get for about $25 is Buffalo Trace.

Right now I'm drinking red wine mixed with pink lemonade. Because when I drink wine I only drink about the same amount as I would if I were drinking bourbon, so it's way easier on my liver.

Bicyclops
Aug 27, 2004

Yeah, I like Left Hand.

I can't drink ciders for some reason. At first I thought it was an acquired taste thing, but I just don't like most of them. I dunno why!

Ciders are great but most of the filth you can buy these days, at least in the US, is overly sugary crap. I loving loved Strongbow back when they'd sell the regular/dry version.

I welcome the coming hops shortage so that maybe the beer aisles at stores will stop being 3/4 IPAs. Good lord that fad of horrible beers needs to die.

Also porters generally and some stouts should be treated more like dessert beers.

Yeah. I don't begrudge people who like them, but I don't care for them, and it's always disappointing to see a huge selection of beers and then, upon inspection, realized that they are 60% IPAs.

I know people in Somerville who buy it, although I don't know where. You'd think the packie near the grocery store formerly known as Johnnie's would only sell the sugar-stuff, but who knows? I still couldn't get behind dry Strongbow, though. It's been suggested as my gateway cider and I didn't like it. I guess I'll always just be missing out and have broke taste buds in that specific way.

I put a little bit of water in my whiskey, but I would never trust someone else to do it.

Just order a glass of water on the side. If you have a straw, you can use it to easily plop a few, to a few dozen, drops into your drink according to your taste.

I had to explain to a bartender how to make a martini once, though. It was really loud so I kept thinking she couldn't hear me, but no. I gave up trying to shout the drink recipe over the music and just asked for straight gin. It was that kind of night

Gin. I thought that was what she was asking for awhile. She was like "Martini? What martini?" And I said "Gin," and she said "Uh..... just gin??" and there was a line behind me so i just caved and got myself a hefty loving serving of gin. She had to have been covering for somebody and had no idea what she was doing. later an actual fist fight broke out on the dance floor of the place and we left. i wish i could remember the name of the place, but i had a few more "martinis" before we left and i sort of had a falling out with the people i left with. i want to find out of it got shut down because uh... it should have been.

We had like 14 people over in late September and two of them left rum and Ginger Beer, so Dark and Stormies have been the cocktail of choice for my wife and I during the Presidential debates.

Rum is also good for if you have a bunch of juice or mixers and what to say "gently caress it!" and throw a bunch in a blender with ice.
