For those that drink, what's your poison of choice?

All this talk of Black and Tan reminds me of a drink served at a local pub in Hershey, PA...They call it a blue collar black and tan, we call it black and blue.

Guiness and PBR. Yuck. I made my friend drink it (he drinks anything that someone else buys for him) and said it was horrendously aweful. And near the bottom it started mixing and ended up tasting like Yuengling (at that point I tried it myself to verify the Yuengling taste).

If you don't know what PBR is, you may go back to your jr high classes starting again soon, or to your country of origin. some day you will learn to fear those 3 letters.

Ewwww. If I drank that, I'd have to mix a PBR and Old Milwaukee together just to kill myself! That's such a waste of Guiness. :mad:
 

Wine: Prado Enea from the Bodegas Muga in central northern Spain (Rioja). A grand reserve, it's only produced every 7 (or more) years, and it's quite simply the best wine I've ever had, hands down. The next time I see it on shelves, I'm buying a case.

Beer: Lots of contenders, but the finest I ever had was a pint of Archie's 80/ in a pub in Glencoe. OK, fine, it was more than a pint. Alright, alright! Alright. It was six. But it was a really long card game (I lost soundly).

Spirits: Talisker 10 year, Macallan 18 year, Balvenie Double Wood. Neat.

Beer. Preferably an imported German Weisse or Weizen (I'm not sure on the difference, both are wheat beers), the American micro-versions i've had come across to as being too watery in texture. More specifically, Neumarkter Lammsbrau Hefeweizen (Helles, not Dunkles or Doppelbocks, I'm not into dark beers). Unfortunately, I've not seen Lammsbrau ion the states, and contend with the Tucher brand (which I've consumed more of than any other brand) or whatever else I find stocked in the import section of my local liquor stores.
The best beer I've ever had was an unfiltered Lager, from the local brewery of a small town between Erlanger and Forchheim, and east of autobahn A73 (I no longer recall the name of the town or brewery).
I try to avoid most big brand name American and Imported beers, as most of them are (IMHO) little better than pisswater, and therefore a poor representation of the Pilsner which most are based on.
 

I like a simple drink.

Take at least a 16 oz. glass & add 4 ice cubes
pour in 4 oz. Black Velvet
add 8-12 oz. Dr. Pepper (or diet if you prefer, it doesn't change the taste)

I call it, unimaginatively, a Black Pepper.
