Beer and Hootch

[Texas1911]

So what do you knuckle draggers drink?

I've been doing my part to keep Dos Equis in business lately, and out at the ranch we had some authentic Southern homemade pear wine and moonshine. Both were very good, and would certainly sell if made commercially.

Vodka water and a lime. You don't get hang overs with that and less filling. You still fall down though.

 

[dobarker]

Pearl light when I don't want to get sloppy, Shiner when I don't mind waltzing to bed.

 

[kurt]

Newcastle or similar. The new black label Shiner is pretty good too. Occasionally a Chimay Belgian ale made by monks.

New Belgum's Trippel is VERY good beer. Blue moon is a close second.

White russians are good too. : )

You've watched "The Big Lebowski" too much.
They are good though, like an alcoholic chocolate milk.

+1 in Bluemoon, I like Killians, and rolling rock as well. Always have a bottle or two of JD Green Label on hand.

 

[Leper]

Chimay red or blue, depending on my mood. Anything made by Unibroue, especially Trois Pistoles Unibroue | Trois Pistoles

 

[texas skeeter]

Coors Light and most any top top shelf Tequila.

I noticed that Cazadores has an Anejo tequila out now. I'm buying me a bottle next week!

last week (tuesday and wednesday) i was hanging out with aone of my lady freinds, we went out to a couple of bars and i was paying fro drinks via working the pool table. anyway, i ended up getting snookered on pitchers of shiner. so we left, went to another place, (no idea ont he names of these places, San Antonio is to damn confusing for me to keep track, jsut small town boy...) ended up at a nice cozy dimly lit place with a piano guy.

whatever this place was (obviously some kindof piano bar, maybe 'the piano bar' i dunno. but reminded me of 'the uptown piano bar' here in NB) and i spent my winnings on martinis.
gordons gin is a beautiful thing.

anyway, as a parting gift, she gave me a bottle of triple sec one of boothe's gin (my fav) 1/2 a bottle of monopolowa (awesome vodka btw) and a handle of sailor jerry's.

geesh i wish i could remeber what i did to deserve that... maybe she jsut lieks me better when im drunk! hah.

as far as homeade stuff, Vash and i make a few cases of beer every summer. it is usually darker than shiner black, and fairly bitter and we try to shoot for atleast 9-10% alc. i'll see about getting some made fresh for dove season this year when ya'll come out to the farm.

i have been trying to figure out a good recipe for a unique texas whiskey.
wouldnt it be cool to put something liek a mocking bird feather, or a rattlesnake rattle, or an armadillo tail in it?
to sink down to the bottom, and be a good object to dare people to eat when everyone is smashed and at the bottom of the bottle eh?

actually, bluebonnet might be an interesting ingredeint to add tot he flavor.
anyone ever eat a bluebonnet? what do they taste like?

 

[Wolfwood]

Coors Light and most any top top shelf Tequila.

coors?

isnt that stuff made in new york city?

get a rope.


---------edit------------
oh snap! this is the first mancave thread! i should have known

I respect your good taste and love of quality....Dos Equis namely.

 

[berto40]

tequila (preferably Cazadores) and Squirt...

 

[ROGER4314]

Been clean & sober for 29 years this month. In the day..............Black Jack straight & sometimes with a little water. Bartenders will tell you that Black Jack drinkers are the crazy ones! It's nice to have a sordid past.

[Charlie]

Duvel. Wonderful Belgian strong beer.

 

[45tex]

Iced Water, straight

 

[BT1911]

Pilsner Urquell from Czechoslovakia. I'd drink it in my sleep if I could get someone to hold the bottle.

I highly respect that one. If you ever get the chance to try some Budvar, It's amazing. I havnt found any in the states though.

For beers, the list is long. Here are just some of my favorites, in no particular order:

New Belgian 1554
New Belgian Sunshine
New Belgian Fat Tire
New Belgian Abbey
Maredsous
Shiner Black
Shiner 99
Shiner Hefewiezen
Santa Fe Nut Brown Ale
Pacifico
​

And a few others, but I can't think of them at the moment.

In the "Hooch" category, the list is fairly short:

Balvenie 21 yr Portwood Single Malt Scotch
Balvenie 15 yr Single Barrel Single Malt Scotch
Glenrothes 15 yr Single Malt Scotch
Glenrothes 1993 Single Malt Scoth
Glenlivet 18 and 12 yr Single Malt Scotches
Fonseca Tawny Port 10 yr or older

​

In a pinch, I'm happy with Crown or Jack Daniels, or a GOOD margerita. I might even hold my nose and drink a Coors Light, but I'll never touch a Miller Lite. Personally, if you can see through it, it ain't beer!
