I don't know how you guys go from best beer to best liquor...but if you wanna go hardcore here is a taste from my home country

it's a plum vodka and it's 140 proof

for beer I hit a small pub in Dayton, OH called Chappy's and tried at least 30 different beers that night(I got a cab ride back to hotel, lol) but St Bernardus takes the cake...

I agree with Zap except that I wonder if it was maybe dropped on your head instead of the acid as a child? lol. I'm thinking you'd probably like to sit and sip Jagermeister as well? *ack... just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

This isn't factual, but a buddy had me look at the label on Jager and explained it to me...









The circle around the stag and the cross stand for , "Oh Dear God!" Anyone actually unlucky enough to drink enough to get drunk on it may attest to my buddy's translation.

Did you get a dose of hydrocloric acid as a kid? Must have affected your taste buds, bud.
Ouzo is the most vile stuff invented by man, with the possible exception of Retsina.

I agree with you about Scotch, but only because the Scottish distillers don't let the GOOD stuff out of Scotland.

Cheers, CZ

I quite like both Ouzo and "BUCA" rules with the whole pass the bottle around the campfire till it's dead and start another one goes. Scotch on the other hand has only passed my lips twice. Once to taste and the second time to be sure I hated it as much as I do.
Now what is bugging me is that we can not buy a beer here that has over 7.5% alcohol. No way no how and the liquor store owners are not allowed it to be sold as it is so government regulated. I mean geeze what a time saver to drink only one beer and have to go to bed . I can happily drink my low alcohol content Rainiers all night long and there is no hangover to deal with and I am fine to work the next day....Try that with a six pack of high alcohol content beer in you one night, and see how work goes.

IMHO, its not just the single malts that are over rated- Scotch itself is way over rated.

If your goign to hit the hard stuff, then my taste go to Ouzo or Sambuca.

Single malts are grossly over rated.

Say what?

[Special Ed]

What, no mention of Scotch?

Beer is a "back" for scotch. If I could afford it my choice would be a shot of Glen Levitt with a back of an amber ale, say, New Castle. Anyone who lives near a Trader Jose should check out their booze selection. Their generic "Blended Scotch" for 10 bucks is a super deal. Single malts are grossly over rated. My favorite "adult beverage" would have to be: a shot of a blended Scotch, say "Famous Grouse" with a Newcastle back; although truth to say, after the first round neither the exact variety or brand of either scotch or "back" are really important! Cheers!

I used to have a Jack Daniels Bottle with my name on it in a gold band. Bottle was registered to me and all that fun. Dropped it one day...NO FUN at all. Now all the personal playing cards etc have no meaning without the crowning Belle Bottle that they came with. Come to think of it I wonder where those playing cards and wherewithall went. Might have to have a looks see If I can still find them.

[BA80]

I was going to ask if that was the bottle you got from me but I didn't send an ENGRAVED one.

[dpotter58]

Step up boys...

[trbig]

Well, I have one such situation and I can handle that. You though, albeit not in a parking lot, how many of these do you have under your belt?

Practice makes perfect.. and I've never done it in front of the cops! lol.

[trbig]

I went to a big liquer store yesterday that sells many different kinds of beer. I asked about the Sam Adams Utopia and he said that there were a total of FOUR bottles shipped to Oklahoma last year, and that they went for over $100 a bottle?

[jwhughes3]

I have never had the Utopia, will have to try it...

[natemoen]

I think Nate should also. In a Utopian world, one would never dump their bike in a parking lot in front of the cops. Or in front of people that would give him crap about it from now on...

Hmmm...


I can't get either of those links to work.. either by clicking or copying and pasting. (And yes, I took the arrows off the beginning and end.)
