Woodsinho Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 He has at worst a 1 in 2 chance of correctly working out who you are when we get on stage next week.I've been beer free since last Friday night. I'm going to pop into Tesco on my way home from work and get a beer with a cringeworthy name that I've never had before. I'll give it a review it later.

scottyboy Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Beer-wise, I like ales, especially darker ones. I've been drinking the brown version of Leffe recently. Forgotten what I used to drink in the UK but I remember I liked Hobgoblin a lot. Here in Saigon I know a few places that brew really good, cheap dark beer on the premises. One is attached to the Czech consulate (it's said that, legally, it's in the Czech Rep...), another is owned by a guy who spent some time in East Germany back in the Communist era, and another is a (very) Vietnamese buffet restaurant out in the sticks... The dark version of Beerlao is also really good. Pretty hard to go wrong with ales and stout really, I was back in Scotland recently and even found the brown Tennents (I think?) pretty inoffensive. Couldn't find any Hobgoblin but I was drinking Old Speckled Hen and various Brewdogs, nice but not amazing. I used to drink incredibly cheap local Vietnamese lagers but stopped because of the severity of the hangovers... A friend once brought home 5 litres of homebrew he bought for barely more than a quid, which was actually pretty decent (the taste, not the price, which was obviously beyond amazing)These days I also drink Sake and Korean Soju. Still like a Mojito now and again; I used to love White Russians but haven't had one for years. I briefly dipped into drinking wines at uni (had a flatmate who'd actually studied it in his last year of school), wouldn't mind getting into that again sometime. And whiskies for the future...

Spoonie Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'm extremely dense about whisky, I've never ever liked the stuff, but had a couple on News Years Eve and enjoyed them, this stuff called Black & White. I met a Scottish guy later and he was talking about whisky and I mentioned I liked that one and he laughed at me. Seemingly it is not a good whisky, he said he "wouldn't use it to wash his windows".It's a blend, but I can't be doing with cocks like that. I'm a big whisky fan, have about 25 bottles, have visited several distilleries, am a member of a whisky club for tastings, etc but as far as I'm concerned, if you want to drink Grouse on the rocks, fill your boots. Whisky snobbery boils my piss. Black and White has quite an interesting history too, with a few famous drinkers and film/book appearances. My favourite blend is BNJ (like a previous poster, I also love products with a really basic looking label) but when I'm on it like Wallace and Gromit, I'll normally just decant a half of (Craig)Whyte & Mackay into three 500ml coke bottles after sooking the top out of each and then blast the lot. I like to party. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaki Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I heard a lot of people go to Dublin just for the Kriek. Is that true? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 In terms of wine my favourite is the bottle of red which was £11.99 but is now £5.99.Oh dear... You know that's the falsest of false economies? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I like everything other than white wine/rosé and cider. Usually beer or lager, gin, whiskey and red wine. Ocassionally a vodka/JD or a jaegerbomb when I'm blazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I lied. This is my regular tipple. 2 Gluttonies and half a wrath.p.s. do they still serve these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'm not that adventurous when it comes to drinks. I drink beer until I'm pissed then switch to gin. That's it. In terms of gins, I like Tanqueray, Bombay Sapphire or Hendricks. If you offer me Gordons I will spit it in your face.EDIT - also it should be in a tall glass with a good squeeze of lime in it.EDIT EDIT - discovered the world's best drink by accident a few weeks ago, by total accident. Had no tonic water or ice in the house so, substitued bitter lemon in for tonic, and frozen raspberries in for ice cubes. Oh. My. God. Gayest thing I've ever drank but just magical 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfer_Rosa Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I lied. This is my regular tipple. 2 Gluttonies and half a wrath.p.s. do they still serve these?The only ever time I tried any of those cocktails I got two Envys right before my friends announced we had to finish up our drinks and move on somewhere else immediately. I had to down what was basically one and a half pints of milk. Horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I have a 75cl bottle of Hoegaarden tonight. Huge. Huge and great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsinho Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Ace!I have a bottle of March of the Penguins on the go tonight to follow up on what I said on the previous page. I didn't do it yesterday because I was full cold so tasting things wasn't happening.I'm enjoying its chocolately stoutness so if you like that kind of thing I recommend it.

Soda Jerk Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I have never, ever tried a Stout. I feel like it is something I should correct. Is it like Bitter? I don't care for Bitter. I find it a little watery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsinho Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Not even Guinness? You should definitely try a stout - they aren't nearly as watery as a standard bitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just what you need after several shitty pints, nice and refreshing. was like drinking my freezer..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Pimms and lemonade with cucumber is wonderful too. Throw in some apples and tangerine segments and you're on to a winner. I drank tons of it at a rowing regatta a few years ago. Felt like an utter cunt sitting in the sun with my Pimms amongst all the yahs, but the drink was lovely.

Moose Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 It has to be Hendricks gin for cucumber though. Pimms is awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paime Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Pimms is terrible. Apart from when you’re at Rockness, the sun is shining and the Pimms bus is there and you seemingly can’t stay away. Tastes even better when you’re wearing a straw hat and some sandals with a flowery shirt/shorts combo. As soon as is rains though, Pimms reverts to tasting like ass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
