View Full Version : What's your favourite booze?
What is your favourite booze? I mostly drink G&T, but I voted for my favourite cocktail: Margarita's
Whisky, pure.... Islay to be specific :D Do you want to buy me a bottle?

I Voted beer, but perhaps you should ask people to specify there too. I'm into what we call "abdijbieren" in Belgium. The literal translation would be "Abbey-beers". In particular i like a Rochefort 10, and Westmalle double or tripple. If you are now confused, or thinking "beer is just beer" you really need to come to Belgium.
Apart from diverse Bordeaux Grands Crus :
Lagavullin 16y
Balvenie 21y port wood finish
Johnny Walker Blue Label
Aardbeg 1977
Highland Park 21y
Cragganmore 12y
Laphraoig 15y
Bowmore 12y
Glenfiddish 15y Solera Reserve
Anybody wanna visit my cellar ?
;)
In England I believe we have a fine ale tradition. It's not my favourite though...
I went for rum. Bacardi & Coke has given me the best nights I have already forgotten :D
Scotch on the Rocks, or Whisky (the difference? I can't tell you).
On someone elses bill I like
Bowmore 21 or 25yr.
More typically I drink Glenlivet 18, or other reasonably priced single malt.
I do like a fresh brewed ale too.
Skyfish, I would certainly enjoy your cellar!
Gothmog, you should come on msm now...
[hmm] (my recent favorite smiley)
I've never been on msm, guess I'll look into it.
well my booze of choice is beer, but my favorite is margerita. mmmmm.

I have the same taste appearently....
I like Laphroaig, Lagavulin and Ardbeg a lot. Aggie advised me to try ??Cloa Ila?? So far I have seen 4 liquor stores not selling it :(.
@Gothmog ;) : Bowmore, though from Islay, is not 'my whisky'. I have also enjoyed Glenlivet 12. Since last may I have Glenlivet 18, which didn't meet my expectatians 100%.
I also think putting ice in ice cubes in your whisky, should be punished by torture or imprisonment.
Ale tastes like sterelized cat's piss!
Well, there is nothing like arguing about taste! If you go see Sky's cellar, I would love to join you!
Sky, you also make me jealous !!

Gin + bitter lemon, beerenburg (some sort of booze with a lot of herbes) + cola or pure vodka (in this order). But that's all booze, and I drink a lot more beer than liquor.
Trying to get really, really, really drunk? Try white russian, straight from the can...
I voted wine because that's what I drink most, beer also good for a night on the town. In the strong liquor department I'm a whiskey man too. Lagavullin [worship] my favorite!

You take a half full two litres milk container and fill it up with booze and ice.
Beerenburg is indeed good too! Weduwe Joustra 38%, only available at the Kleinzand in Sneek is my favourite
Beer and wine. Sometimes some stuff through the coffee.
I have too many nasty memories on heavy stuff!
Ok favorite beer:

(Amster and Heineken suck IMO!)
- Witbier: Wiekse Witte

Beer of course, cos i'm Australian, although i don't mind the odd irish whiskey, can't believe nobody mentioned irish whiskey, its better than scotch..its distilled 3 times...scotch is distilled 2 times and bourbon, distilled once and is rough as guts.
If you want to try Irish Whiskey, try a Bushmills...or if you can afford it Middleton very rare, aged 25 years.
I've been to Belgium Taurendil...but i only drank the common market beers, Stella and Lef-blonde (???) both are a nice drop.
Best Australian beer VB - Victoria Bitter...although James Boags is nice too and you can buy that easy enough over this way

Weduwe Joustra [laser]Without doubt the most gross thing I ever drank. Friend gave me a bottle once, after trying it me nor my rommates touched the bottle for years. Even when we were desperate and alcohol deprived, weduwe Joustra wasnt an option. In the end we finished it playing a drinking game with dice iirc. Only time noone wanted to lose during a drinking game ever.

I like most kinds of alcoholic drinks, although I'm pretty picky about which examples of each type I'll take.
Taurendil: would "abdijbieren" be beers like Orval, or am I barking up the wrong tree here?
@staple – I agree that for the price Glenlivet 12 is probably better value than their 18, me brah’ drinks the 12 and it was my first experience with single malt – so holds a special place in my heart. I don’t drink that much and my current bottle is an 18. Sorry about the ice thing, but you’ll pry it from my icy cold dead hands. I do drink it straight too at times. What did you mean by “ice in ice cubes”? as opposed to shavings? Or do you make it cold in some other way. FWIW I don’t like good whisky from the freezer (or other non-ice cube way of making it cold), as it kills the bouquet. Haven’t tasted cat piss myself but Ale comes in so many forms it can’t all taste like cat piss can it? I guess you’re the expert here. I like porters, stouts, and many German specialty beers especially – got to be on tap and preferably brewed on the premises.
I like wine, but mostly drink it with my father, who has great taste.

That is a perfect example ;) My favorite beers are all from Belgium:
- Duvel (this one knocks you out when you're not careful)
- Westmalle double and triple
- Leffe double and triple
- Chimay Blue
- many many others.
@Stapel: it is Caol Ila. A typical Islay whisky and my favourite together with Ardbeg and Laphroaig. But Sky named a couple of brands that I like a lot too :D
Wild Turkey now there's a good whisky/bourbon. A friend of mine claimed it was actually stored inside of a dead turkey during the distilling process but he was under the influence at the time. It's something like 50 %.

Many belgian beers can call themselves "abdijbier". This just means that they were originally brewed in an abbey. They are all strong beers, generally between 7 and 12 degrees, with some stronger exceptions ofcourse. Most breweries will have a few varieties, often a regular version, a double and a triple. Those names have something to do with the fermentation progress. Don't ask me any technical info though, i only drink them. A lot of the brands will also have some special versions, like christmas beers for example. There are dozens of these breweries producing hundreds of different kinds in Belgium alone, so it would be hard to name them here.
What i will list here, as a suggestion of what you all should try as soon as possible, are the "Trapist" beers. Trapist beers are still produced in the abbey where they originated, as opposed to an industrial brewery. There are only 7 trapist-breweries in the world. Chimay, Orval, Rochefort, Westvleteren, Westmalle and Achel, in Belgium, and Koningshoeven in the Netherlands.
Perhaps some comparisons will help. Trapist beers compare to abbey-beers like Champagne compares to 'methode champignoise'. Many great beers aren't trapist, but all trapist are great beers. Abbey-beers (strong beers, special beers, whatever you call it) compare to lager like, say, a cigar to a cigarette. Lagers are fine, and can be great to drink any/every day, or to party with. (Try Jupiler, Stella Artois, or Primus for some fine belgian examples.) But strong beers are a whole different league. I was about to add another comparison including Heineken and dishwater here, but as so many dutch people read this i won't.
This man (www.beerhunter.com), with a very unfortunate name, knows a lot more about beer then I do.

Yes, i'm getting a bit overzealous here, but you people got me started on this subject :D. This is a short story from the site i mentioned in my last post. It's for those of you that don't know belgian beers yet.
Life after lager
John Lennon and Yoko Ono were holding a "Bed In" at the Amsterdam Hilton; elsewhere in the city, gay sex had burst out of the closet; and soft drugs were the choice of cafe society. I had gone to Amsterdam as a journalist and somehow stayed for the summer of love. Like Lennon I refused to conform - I favoured the opposite sex. And I eschewed cannabis in favour of its sister plant the hop.
Amsterdam was abroad in those days. "Abroad" meant that there was only lager; no other type of beer. So I thought.
The local brews were Heineken and Amstel, though Grolsch was delivered by the milkman (an arrangement I have not found anywhere else in the world). These were acceptable enough, but they seemed to taste pretty much the same, and I was soon bored with them. The best I could hope for was occasionally to find a lager from a less well known, smaller, brewery. I gradually learned that most of the smaller breweries in The Netherlands were in the Catholic south.
My girlfriend and I headed down there for the pre-Lenten Carnival, the Dutch equivalent to the German Fasching or Louisiana's Mardi Gras. Somewhere, we got off the train. Which town? Maastricht, perhaps? That day, they all looked the same. We were sucked into a crowd, beers in hand, who seemed to be in endless circulation through the station cafe. The station square was full of drinking, dancing and Beatle music. The whole town was drunk, and soon we were, too.
Amid the endless golden glasses of Dutch lager, someone wearing a John Lennon mask handed me a chalice containing a darker beer. Caution long to the winds, I took a gulp. I was quite unprepared for the richness of the brew and, a moment later, the hit of alcohol, somewhere around the top of the head.
"You like it?!" He looked surprised, dazed even. Perhaps he had enjoyed a few glasses himself. "Yes", I replied. "It's terrific".
Then he gave me some advice, which I would take, groggily, the following morning. "If you like that sort of beer," he intoned almost gravely, "you really ought to go across the border." Then the night and the alcohol and the jostling crowd and the music took us our separate ways. I never learned his name, nor saw the face behind the mask.
Next day, hungover and bedraggled, I crossed the border, a refugee from
The Netherlanders' annual moment of uninhibition.
It was my first visit to Belgium. I had discovered that not all foreign beer was lager. I soon began to realise that Belgium had a selection of beer-styles such as I had never seen. I stayed for a long weekend. When I left, something inside of me had changed. The process had begun that would make me devote the rest of my life to one story. I was already becoming a beer writer, though I did not know that at the time. Nor was there for the moment such an occupation. Twenty years later, Prince Philippe of Belgium presented me with an award for my services to beer.
Today, I read travel articles about Belgium, in which the writer will observe: "Remember, they have great beer in Belgium." I don't know whether to laugh or cry. If the article offers no more information, the visitor will ask for "a beer" and be presented with a Stella Artois, which he could equally well have found at home. I usually ask what is local. Or in my best "When Harry Met Sally" mode: "I'll have what he's having."
Something the colour of an English bitter, but in a generous curved glass, was what most people seemed to be having on that first visit. It was the local beer, and still is. I know of no city in the world, other than Dublin, where a single local brew inspires such pride and loyalty.
We were in a street-corner bar, lavatorially white-tiled, but somehow cosy nonetheless. I pointed to a glass and gestured that I would like the same. "Bollecke?" responded the barman. It turned out that this vulgar-sounding riposte referred to the shape of the glass. A bolleke ("little ball") always contains a beer called De Koninck. This is technically very similar to a British ale, but more aromatic, softer and spicier. In this instance, it is the particular yeast culture that contributes the spicy flavours. Other Belgian beers do use spices, herbs and fruits.
De Koninck is soft that it slips down with soothing sociability; so tangy and perfumy that each glass invites another. I lost an afternoon in that bar, and never found it again.
Almost every beer about which I rhapsodised would subsequently appear in the United States but less quickly, if at all, in Britain. Then someone told me that De Koninck was available at the Bank restaurant, at that time new and very fashionable, in London. I went to see for myself. The bar was very busy - surrounded four deep. I shouted to the bartender: "Do you really have De Koninck?" He smiled, lifted his bollekes (he had two) and triumphantly banged them together above his head.
Ah yes Belgian beers. Two of my friends have an annual beer weekend in Bruges and Ghent. We can get many Belgian beers over here - I'm quite fond of Duvals. There are some great real ales in Scarborough too. Over the last few years CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) has had real succes in encouraging small breweries to be set up and fluorish. There are several pubs here that serve a wide choice of good beers. Of course if you walk into an average English pub and ask for beer, you will be served a foul tasting glass of coloured water. The reason why so many people say they dont like beer is that all they have drunk is the mass produced piss that uses the same name. Taste the real stuff and you will be hooked for life.....
ice in ice cubes was just a typo....
@Taurendil: nice post.
My fav beer in NL is Grolsch! But I must admit De Koninck is the best beer in the world. I also like the southern german Weissebiere a lot!

Dont drink Heineken , drink Grolsch or Dommelsch in that category.
My wife and I had some strange Belgian beer last year - a wheat beer that tasted strongly of lemon. Slurp....
Hehe - the beerhunter writes a weekly column in the papers over here. Ive even been known to go to beer tasting sessions. Festivals with maybe 50 different beers to try...... Sluuuuuuuuuuuuuuurp. Hic. Clunk.
Wine! And lots of it! My record is two bottles in one evening (minus two glasses I gave to someone else), but I'm not gonna repeat that, ever. [xx(] But I go drunk that often anymore lately.
Apart from wine I also like piña colada, bailey's and boswandeling which is also a whity bitter sweet booze.

My favourite drink is really G&T, bus as that is outside of your average student's price range, beer is what I drink most, and particularly, Grolsch (which really is different from the other Dutch pilseners....but the export version is not as great). But Taurendil will get no argument from me wrt Belgian beers.... Leffe Blond is especially great.
I like both wine and whisk(e)y, but Glenfiddich is the only decent whisky I've ever had. Ice doesn't enter into it :)

I can appreciate booze only when I drink regularly. Of all available substances, alcohol gives the most terrible hang-over if you ain't used to it. Sometimes, I'm quite anti-alcoholic (for a while) and when I then drink maybe three or four portions, I can't even sleep, I have to sit awake in my bed until I'm halfway sober again, and I'm feeling rather low than high.
So if you want to drink two or three bottles of wine or half a bottle of whisky, you have to slowly work your way up to these quantities, unless you want to feel overwhelmingly sick - nor purge your stomach into your innocent environment.

We here have 0.33 l for bitter and 0.5 l for the rest.
I feel, the 0.5 l is a bit too much. Considering my drinking speed this makes my beer get luke-warm and stale - especially in these hot days.
Kronenbourg 1664 is a delightful beer ! ...and I dont say it because it's French ;)
Please try it out and tell me what you think.
Wow! 0.5 litres is less than a pint!!! That's crazy talk saying it's too much....

No!
Kronenbourg is not delightful.. It is the only 'acceptable' French beer. Only my opinion maybe... But most Belgian, Dutch and German Pilsners are better.
When it comes to variety, without loosing quality, Belgium wins! When it comes to Wheatbeer (Weizenbier) The southern german beers, like Paulaner, Erdinger and Loewenbraeu rule.
Well, I just thought I'd mention that thanks to all the motherless bastards (!) here at CDZ I now have a hard time enjoying my Scotch with ice! I keep thinking someone is going to string me up and let the ravens pick my eyes out.

You're welcome.
Schültenbrau, canned beer from the Aldi, that's beer. You have to drink it when ice (actually, near freezing point) cold, preferrably after the first tray of quality beer is finished. Vomiting is much cheaper, as is throwing with empty or half filled cans since you don't waste the deposit money.

Cognac and Amareto to finish of the night.

Not really a drinker here, I have other vices. http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2611
I drink honestly about once a month, having 1 to 2 drinks. I have developed an affinity to certain beers.
I like Boulevard Wheat, a microbrew out of Kansas City.
I like Guiness.
When I did some harder alky, like before I started weightlifting, I had been known to slam Jose Cuervo Gold straight. For my money, there is nothing better for getting a party started than 2 Man shots of Cuervo. Straight means no lime, lemon, salt, etc. That stuff is for women.
For fun, take multiple shots, then get in a jumping jack contest. Somewhere in the hundreds your world gets really weird.

NOBODY expects TheSpanishInquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise .... surprise and fear .... fear and surprise .... Our two weapons are fear and surprise .... and ruthless efficiency .... Our three weapons are fear, surprise and ruthless efficiency .... and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope .... Our four .... no .... Amongst our weapons .... Amongst our weaponry .... are such elements as fear, surprise .... I'll come in again.

I voted Whiskey and ?
Ice is normally the only thing I'll mix it with.
My current Whiskey of choice is Jack Daniels "Gentleman Jack" ~ I can't stomach the "old #7" but the GJ is pretty good.
At the end of the boating season we have what is becoming a bit of a legendary party called the Purple Pier Party. Everyone comes wearing something purple and pound a drink we concocted called a purple. Personally I don't drink it but the girls like it.
"The Purple"
40% Stoli Orange or 45%
50% Lemonade or 45%
10% Welsh Grape Soda
and squeezed lemons
Last year 3 kegs, 10 coolers of purple, a girl getting fished out of the water and a band guy who couldn't sing by the end of the night due to some extracurriculars. If you like girls come to Chicago in September. No married guys because we've caused a few relationship issues. [lol]
I'm a Kettle One and seltzer guy.
Since I've been in Poland a couple of times, I've switched my booze drinking habits to wodka. You don't get tired from it as from beers, no bad hangovers and coloured teeth as from wine and you can easily mix in some water or soda's in between. Great stuff imho :D
