Drank a few of those down in Florida. They were lovely.

Ah,a lady of discerning good taste

Stella is the top drink for sure. As we say over here,it is the "dogs bollocks"

Hee!! There's a restaurant/bar near us in Florida that has a drink special each night, like on Mondays they have Tequila Sunrises for $1. Quite nice. My personal favorite is grape-flavored Skyy vodka with cranberry juice, $5 for a double.

I have never been much of a vodka drinker,although Mrs. Yogi likes a drop of it.

To be honest i am not a great spirits drinker,gallons of beer and plenty of wine does me in general!

See, I'm quite easy-going. I like plenty of everything.

Oh i have drunk plenty of spirits in the past,it is just that they disagree with me the next morning,especially if mixed with rivers of ale

I can assure you that my husband and I will never drink gin again!

I don't blame you.....

It's not called "mothers ruin" for nothing

I bought a case of Sam Adams White Ale today, and thought it was very good. They've stopped the seasonal production of it, so I hear, as they are filling the distributorships with its Summer Ale. I think I'll grab another case tomorrow to have on hand.

A friend, who stopped over tonight, brought me a case of Guinness. That's what you call a friend for life.

Beer is good to have on hand but it is even better in your belly

Could you ask your nice friend if he wants to be my friend too?

That's why I call you Yogi BEER!

I'll have a bottle of Guinness while watching the Mich St./Carolina game with my boys tonight,
Saturday night I had a Smithwick's while puffing on a Cuban cigar. A friend of mine had military operations in South Korea a couple of weeks ago and brought some back. I'm not a big cigar guy, but this one was outstanding. I've had Cubans before, but the one Saturday night beat them all. It must have been from Fidel's private supply.

my favorite beer is budweiser. cause to tell you the fact, never tasted the other choices. hehe. but now that i got the list.. let my try the others so there would be a basis.. bud's fine though.. drinking is fun..

Now that i'm living in Germany I've got access to some great beers, my favorite being the Weißbier.Also Paulaner is pretty good as well...

Agreed. I don't even drink Blue Moon anymore.

Bud Light. I'm having one now!

I'll choose a bud light any day over one of these foo foo beers with apple or some other fruit in it.

Salute!

"Give me a woman who truly loves beer and I will conquer the world" was what my best friend's older brother used to say whenever we were drinking Meister Brau in the woods 20+ years ago. Anyone else ever hear that quote?

Not my Fav but this is one of the better Holiday Brews I had this Season So far.

My main go-to's are:

Generic:

MGD(not the lite)
Beck's
Stella
Rickard's red


I often go for micro-brewery stuff too, mostly locals like "Maudite" or "Fin du Monde", both of which are strong beers though, if you can handle that.

I can do any of these Generics other than The Becks, years ago that was a main offering at stip clubs in NY but they get a little skunkie.

Also, not sure of the Rickard's but i will look for that.

The special brews are always interesting to me as well and I will look for those too. I enjoy the stong brew once in while, just had a Burbon beer called Backwoods Bastard, really good, its like drinking a Boiler Maker.

Any homebrewers?

I tried once in college with a home brewing kit. It was "English Pale Ale"

Not much of a Pale Ale guy, but I assume I did it right; I mean it got me drunk.

The kits are pretty cool. Each brew makes about two cases each that you bottle and can even put your own logo on. I know some people that are really into it and can make the light beers, but you need refrigeration units and it has to kept a certain temperature throughout fermentation. Definitely something I am interested in.

I started doing all grain recipes of the summer but they take so long and the clean up is a hassle. Kits are just easier, time wise and with clean up

Luckily my basement has a pretty stable temperature, 55 degrees. Trying to cold ferment an Oktoberfest says you supposed to to decrease the temperature two degrees every day from 57 to 32 but I don't have that so I just put it in my garage hopefully it does the trick.



This is a Pale Ale started Thursday night. Make wine also, the picture quality is crappy but behind the beer, one red and one white Thursday also



The white fermenting bucket is a Scotch Ale. Three other wines I have going



Brown Ale in secondary fermentation

Looks like your doin a great job.

I brewed some beer last summer , a kit. It came out pretty good the first time but the second batch went down the drain, it was horrible.

I may try again.

You should do so more its a great hobby

I had the dump 4 batches (20 gallons) down the drain this fall definitely bummer. Where did you get your kits?

Mr. Beer. The brown barrel and 8 brown quart bottles after fermentation.

I followed instructions to the T.

If you remember what was wrong with the flavors check this out.

One of my problems was adding the yeast when the wort was too warm.
