The Energon Pub

Noticed today that one of my favorites has made it's yearly return, Sam Adams Oktoberfest. And right now I'm drinking a Blonde Ale by some unknown to me. It's... eh, okay.

I gravitate towards lagers and pilsners, but like lighter through the summer, and go heavy through the winter. Example. Labatts Blue tastes great to me during the summer, but during cooler months I like to go Sam Adams or microbrews like Great Lakes, Wooden shoe (local), or some others that our local Spirits store sells.

IPA's not so much. Like the choices from Sam Adams. Several Belgian wheats, whites. Hefeweizen's are good and different.

None of that Arrogant Bastard stuff though. Or Hoppus Maximus either. Not a hop head.

Edited line: So, what brew is everyone drinking?

I'm pretty much the same. And it only takes me like 3-4 drinks to get drunk. I'm a wussy drinker.

I like Red Stripe Jamaican lager, Sapporo Japanese beer, Corona, Asahi, Sam Adams . . .

Captain Morgan, Grey Goose, Jack Daniel's, Jim Beam . . .

Chiraz, Merlot, Beringer . . .

Yeah, I'm a total drunkie.

I drink Stella artoise, but if i can't get that then its carlsberg extra cold. i also like a good sparkling shiraz, something like brio rouge. beer like a lout, and wine like a snob....

Kopparberg ciders or good ol' vodka and Coke. Beer can suck some of the sweatier parts of my anatomy.

Honey Brown.

Let's see..

Beer I like Sam Adams

Hard Liquor I like Rum (Capt. Morgan), Amoretta and Jack.

Root beer is the only beer that I'll ever drink. Most of the
time it's Coke, Cherry Coke, and Mountian Dew for me.

Like I've said before, not a big drinker here, but when I do go out for a social drink or two, it's usually a Bacardi or something. If I want hard liquor, I'll do whiskey and Dr Pepper, but I take it VERY easy on that.

The following drinks are JP approved.

Liquor

Powers (on its own, or with brown lemonade)
Jamesons
Jamesons Crested Ten
Bushmills
Black Bush
Hennessey
Martell
Twisted Sister (Malibu, vodka, orange juice and grenadine)

Beer

Harp
Guinness
Grolsch
Heineken
Peroni
Peroni Nastro Azzuro
Moretti
Messina

Do me a favor and see if you can find Bavaria anywhere in your region. Trust me, it's the best Dutch lager there is. Grolsch and especially Heineken ( ) are piss compared to it.

For me I like:
Beers
Bavaria
Kroon
Jupiler
Brand
Corona

Liquor
Bison-Grass Vodka (it's Polish, try it with apple juice)
Smirnoff
Bacardi

I'll have a look, but I don't know if I trust a man who drinks bacardi.

Only when there's no vodka around. And with Dutch taxes I hardly ever drink real Bacardi... more like the budget kind of rum which tastes somewhat like Bacardi

BEER.
Corona w/ a lime slice
Tecate
Heinekien
OTHER.
Wild Turkey 101proof whiskey
Jack Daniels whiskey
Johnny Walker scotch red or black label

Remember kiddies, Beer is a great chaser to that shot of whiskey!

I tend not to drink much in the way of imported liquor, really. Mostly whiskey, and as we all know, Irish whiskey is the only kind worth talking about.

Ew. Ew. Ew.
Could be worse, though. Ever have a cocktail made with Baileys? The cream curdles, no matter what you use.

That's probably safer. The first time I started drinking Twisted Sisters, I ended up swinging off a British war memorial screaming the Soldier's Song (an Irish republican song, and the national anthem of the Republic) at around four in the morning. Stu and BC probably get the severity of this.
