Bout to walk in the bottlo thinking of cider or some coopers
Any one want anything?

I got some cheap cider, such is life.

>>19654001
Got some bourbon for my birthday the other day, shit was VERY cash.

>>19654001
I want to get an acceptable bottle of rum for $30 or less, what should I get?

>>19654690
What kind of rum and where? In that price range I love Stroh 80 but I'm in Europe, it's probably a lot more in the US.

>>19654451
That stuff's good.

>>19654701
America, CO specifically
Something aged and not spiced

>>19654701
>Stroh 80

>>19654001
venezuelan rum is the best in the world. Take the rumpill.

This was great

>>19654946
fuuuck where do I get this

>>19654996
It's from brewery Pohjala, they export a lot in europe, not sure about the states

so if you are high IQ white male you better listen to me laddie. you drink single malt scotch, or a good old rum (better jamaican or barbados), or cognac / armagnac, or, if youre unfortunately happened to be American - you allowed to drink bourbon. wine is for women, beer is for low test man boobs omegas. vodka / gins are for desparate alcoholics. and cocktails are for literal rear drive faggots.

>>19654001
Alcoholic since 2015, right now I've been drinking wines and monster beasts lately

I've got the ching Chong right now and I've ran out of drinks, probably going to make a liquor run soon

>>19655109
>Monster with no caffeine
Grim
When will the FDA stop being gay and let us have caffeinated alcohol in stores again?

>>19654690
that's almost all of them. high end rum is like $50. rum is cheap as hell.

go for anything from Plantation.

>>19654938
I would drink that if I could find it. Never knew Venezuelan rum existed.

>>19655013
>only certain groups can drink certain things
how boring

>>19654701
>inlander "rum"
First of not rum, carcinogenic and 80% alco. Is good with St germain or elderflower syrup, add (sparkling) water optionally some lime juice 2

>>19655013
Drink local.
Rum is also for alcos afaik

>>19655312
>would drink that if I could find it. Never knew Venezuelan rum existed.
Its unironically the best quality rum there is. There is a lot of variety with venezuelan rum but even the cheapest stuff is better than 90% other rums. If you are in Europe and you find any its probably gonna be way overpriced though.

>>19655312
>would drink that if I could find it. Never knew Venezuelan rum existed.
Its unironically the best quality rum there is. There is a lot of variety with venezuelan rums but even the cheapest stuff is better than 90% other rums. The most basic one is probably Pampero or superior but If you are in Europe and you find any its probably gonna be way overpriced though.

>>19655013
> Wine is for women
Both my Italian grandfathers who served in WW1 died of alcoholism from drinking wine trying to forget the horrors they saw in the trenches. Would you call them women?

>>19655778
yes

>>19655809
Pussy, I’d fuck you in the ass till you wished you were dead

For me, it's the humble Natty Daddy, a true beverage of champions

>>19654001
What the hell, I'll give it a whirl.
Rec me your favorite bourbons in the $20-35 range. I've been enjoying the higher-proof stuff lately, I thought picrel was really good, maybe a bit better than the Early Times BiB that I also liked. I'm interested in trying Old Granddad 114 or maybe Four Roses Small Batch next.

>>19655778
Yes lol how tf do you die from a womens drink, they should died on the frontlines like men instead giving birth to a linage of cucks like you

>>19656156
You probably got a tiny cock, think drinking spirits makes you a man. Too bad your father probably wore lingerie and got fucked in the ass in secret, raised a little shitstain like you

>>19655298
I'm not a faggot, I had a reign white gummy energy drink between a few of the monsters

>>19655813
no you wouldn't, woman

>>19656499
you would know considering your grandfathers died from wine

for me, it's the suntory highball

>>19656667
Have fun choking down your brown shit liquid trying to grow chest hair kid, I’ll get drunk on wine anyway and me twice the man you dream to be. Go get laid some time

>tumbler instead of Glencairn
>ice instead of neat
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING

>>19656959
>Glenlivet 12
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING

>>19656863
lol so mad

>>19657013
Talk to me when your balls drop. Are you so emasculated and your life so pathetic that the only seemingly interesting thing about you is that you drink spirits? Kill yourself chud

>>19654001
which is the comfiest type of beer for high fantasy game? I dont know much but maybe ale or lager? can anyone explain the difference quick

>>19655813
>I’d fuck you in the ass
>>19656499
>tiny cock
>father probably wore lingerie
>got fucked in the ass in secret
>>19657209
>Are you so emasculated

I think you might have some emasculation issues yourself my friend.
Also pretty unlucky that both grandfathers happened to be such pussies

>>19657329
what game we talking about?

>>19654001
>Post spirits,
vodka and cranberry juice. You can (almost) always trust the slavs with vodka

>>19657382
You sound like a faggot too, boy. Id rough your boyhole up and fill you with my manseed, dominate you, pull your hair. You’d finally know what a real man is like, seeing as your father was a limp wristed faggot. Apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree, I see

>>19655013

>>19654199
better than craft cider. Places will charge $15 for a 4 pack when strongbow is plenty good enough

>>19654798
is Colorado expensive for alcohol?

off the top of my head I know Plantation 5 year and El Dorado 8 should be under that. I haven't seen Doorly's outside of TotalWine but the 8, 12 and XO should also all be under $30.

>>19654001
>naturally lighter in alcohol

>>19656137
OGD114 is a mans drink and a great companion in the heart of winter. if you can withstand the Rye in that then your next stop should be Old Overholt 114.

>>19657556
Tastes like cheap cough syrup

>>19657556
>withstand the rye
The high rye content is why it's delicious.

>>19657563
have a Sprite then ya big baby.

>>19657566
Yes!

>>19657438
Maybe if your grandfathers were more impressive role models you'd spend a little less time ranting about having sex with men

3 days sober

how the hell do people drink gin? it's like drinking a bottle of perfume, it makes me gag and retch and it's impossible to swallow. I bought an entire bottle of this nasty dogshit.

>>19658042
my first really bad hangover was with gyn. Two decades later and still can't even smell the stuff without gagging.

>>19658042
what kind of foods do like to eat?

>>19658047
how much did you drink? I had about nine shots and feel fine the next day

>>19658054
i don't even know, we were on a weekend trip to a beach house and already coming off a hungover from the day before and decided to start drinking again but the only booze left was gyn. Its all a haze after that, i got sick and puke like crazy that day and the next, horrible flashbacks

>>19658053
when i drink? horrible deep fried goyslop

>>19658042
you could simply not "pound shots" of every "hard liquor" like some socially awkward rubber-wristed underage tryhard pretending to be a real man

>>19658147
who are you talking to?

>>19654001
I've been trying to get into wines lately and came across meads the other day. I never really knew what it was, so I got a bottle of Chaucers to try it out. There was a little left to be desired, but there was potential because I really liked the honey flavor. I would be interested to see how much the quality improves, because this bottle is like $14. Anyone else dabble in mead or have any recommendations?

>>19655109
ayyo this nigga eating beans frfr

I got a nice bottle of Jerez Brandy last week and I've been enjoiying it by itlself and with coffee.
Best alcahol for coffe:
-Brandy
-Whiskey

Fucking A. My favorite brewery I've been to anywhere on the planet

>>19657329
Some uncommon styles/flavors could work. Like rye ales or something more herbal. I think I had a caraway beer once which was kino

>>19655013

>>19657536
I can't imagine it would be any different from other labels. It's more about scale of operation/distribution than where in the country it comes from

>>19658286
meant in terms of sin tax
>pic related

>>19658358
Cool so its ranked 4th out of 50 for lowest tax rate

The only thing I hate about alcohol is that feeling the next day of needing to take a massive dump. The rest can be fixed with esomeprazole and extended release tylenol.

I have very little experience with Mexican liquor. I was thinking of picking up this bottle of mezcal tonight, which seems to be a common and decent entry-level drink for about $40.
Reviews are mixed over it having a smoky flavor. I like islay scotch-- is it something like that?

>>19658465
Taxes are low, but prices are sometimes higher than they should be due to the distribution model. Also some cities like Boulder have additional alcohol taxes.

>>19659240
As is the case anywhere else

>>19654001
if i was going to write such an affected OP I'd make sure to post a wine that didn't have a bunch of alarm bells all over the label

i guess it's hard if you're in the city and walking into Dan's and I struggle a bit buying outside the regions i've spent time in but there's not even a region listed there, not even uselessly vague "south east australia" which covers everything south of the granite belt in QLD and east of all the SA regions. Stinks of cheap.

>>19654001
>bragging about having less alcohol
>at Australian prices

>>19655124
Last time I drank I had this with some OJ. It's pretty shitty, but it gets me where I need to go

>>19659240
theres state minimums as well. not sure if it's part of the distribution racket.

>>19659221
had a small pour of pic related today while in my local. it's not super smokey, but it has that young spirit brightness. like if lime wasnt sour without the loss of flavour. it didnt convert me, but the additive free angle seems like its blown the lid off BIG tequila.

>>19659221
I have this same bottle, it's relatively smoky so it will probably be up your alley. It's a bit sweeter than scotch.

>>19659221
I have this. you can taste the smokiness, can't imagine their other stuff isn't

>>19654001
How do I become an alcoholic in the most asshole richfag way possible?

>>19660742
Develop a taste for fine wine and then drink a lot of it

>>19660305
>>19660583
I picked up the bottle and I'm drinking it now. It does have that sort of peaty smokiness that I enjoy in scotch. More sweet, not as complex, but very easy to drink. It's a little weak to my tastes but I can't always afford Laphroaig 10 and this is in that ballpark and will pair well with the many westerns I watch.

If there are any other mezcal drinkers around, I'm open to any suggestions.

I don't normally drink, but I've discovered that I'm quite fond of wheat beer and have been trying different brands. If I like that, what are some other types of alcohol (stuff other than beer) that I might like?

>>19660742
Buy Nuvo like ignorant niggers do when they come across some money after performing their circus acts.

>>19661312
stick with wheat beers

>>19661394
this, beers don't get comfier than wheat beers

>>19658174
I thoroughly enjoy mead as a sweet drink to have when it's cold or after dinner. For other bottles to recommend something like Sky River is kino, it's usually about 30 usd a bottle but is so worth it.
For something a little different there's this Pic rel. stronger stuff for about the same price, the hops adds a unique taste but doesn't make it bitter like a hoppy beer.

>>19655013
>or a good old rum (better jamaican or barbados)
nooooo you can't grow your own sugar cane, you need the heckin carribean rumarino, it's...just better!

>>19655298
>let us have caffeinated alcohol
Laughs in buckfast

This is my go to red wine, it is affordable at 8 euros and really good. Peppery, notes of cacao, and cherry jam. Despite the name it's from Italy, made from primitivo grapes (called zinfandel in the US)

>>19661991
had a bottle of this once. absolutely undrinkable unless it was borderline frozen. kept me up for like 24 hrs.

>>19662190
There's something with zinfandel I don't like. Most are too sweet or something. Had a few decent ones but not many.

gf and I are going to an italian place for dinner tonight. what wine should we get? I don't know shit about italian wine but I like reds and I'm planning on having bolognese

>>19661991
They've reduced the caffeine in it

>>19655109
>Australian posing as Mexican
why?

>>19662923
Just get the most expensive one anon, you want to impress her right?

>>19654001
I don't understand managements priorities. I'm tired boss.

yeah its Bushmills alright

>>19658047
Very similar story here. I had a miserable experience with gin my freshman year of college (decade ago now), and to this day I gag on the smell and cannot drink it straight. I've since had plenty of worse drinking experiences with whiskey, beer, and wine, and still enjoy all of those... gin is just nail polish.

Anyway, I am fucking pissed because I decided to try a sixer of picrel yesterday and I swear they put the wrong beer in the cans. They gave me a fucking IPA/pale ale. I'm not even sure what to do in this instance, I guess nothing

>>19663099
Based.

>>19654001
My spirits are in another town. But for now, this: cheap shit but decent, dunno what to do with it aside from cooking pork.

>>19657414
I swap the vodka for gin and mix in a little grapefruit.

>>19658042
Mail it to me, I'll drink it. I'm guessing you got a London dry style? Go for an Old Tom next time if sweet is your speed.

>>19658047
>hangover
What age? I've been drinking for some time and I've yet to have one, even when plastered.
>>19658054
Sounds about like the base to my standard drink. Cup of gin, cup of grapefruit juice, straight in a tall glass.

>>19658199
Try amaretto anon. Or nocino. I urge you. They're made for coffee.

>>19659747
It says Charlestown. Check your eyes.

>>19661312
>wheat beer
Try moonshine, sweet whiskeys, dark rums.

>>19662923
>bolognese
So you've got fatty meat and pasta. Get the merlot or cab sav "madego", they'll cut through the fat well.

>>19663668
we went with a bottle of chianti reserva which was perfect with her pappardelle short ribs. I had a glass of montepulciano with my bolognese and it was so good I could've cried

zoomer here
bought a bottle of dark rum
people don't really drink this straight do they

>>19663804
why wouldn't they zoomzoom?why the fuck would they not, huh?
where i'm from homeless dudes drink the cheapest cologne you can buy at the store.

>>19663804
dark/spiced rums arent really meant to be drunk straight. it's best to mix them with as little additional sugar as possible.

>>19654690
If you can go up to about $35-$40 you can get Kirk & Sweeney. They do a 12, 18, & 23 year and the 18 is the best.

>>19663857
i figured i should try it at least once

wish there was an easy way to import alcohol to the US, had a discussion with a coworker a few months back and found this but my choices are paying nearly twice MSRP for one of the few online retailers that stock it or going to the UK and getting it myself. and yes I would invite her to try some if I got my hands on it.

>>19663876
if you're comfortable with flambe cooking I suggest using it that way instead.

>>19654001
>But do not post premixed drinks; they are for the lowly and the intolerably childish.
Does this count? Even if it does I fucking love it

>>19664143
jesus christ

>>19664148
The Modelo one is slightly more balanced, if Im making one at home I just throw bloody Mary mix and Worcestershire sauce into the closest pilsner

>>19664138
any pointers?

>>19656685
What's your recipe? I picked some up after having them in Japan, but I can't get the same taste

>>19654001
Let me guess... You need more?

>>19664545
I have more

>>19664545
>43% alcohol
>not even as strong as my daily driver
yes, I literally need more

>>19663761
Chianti makes sense for the ribs, never had montepulciano

>>19664111
What's this like? Also in a similar spot, wanting to import birch spirits for cocktails but alas

lemonade + ?

>>19662940
Still got more caffeine per ml than red bull.
Buckfast sold in Ireland still has the original caffeine content. Something like 50mg/100ml

>>19664592
Moonshine desu

>>19664545
Ayo!

>>19664188

>delicate aromas

>buy an expensive bottle
>it's not nearly as good as WT101
every fucking time

>>19665329
buy Rare Breed and compare it.

I wouldnt even be mad that its not that great since it's not a single barrel store pick which are usually about the same price.

>>19665351
I like to keep some rare breed on hand

>>19665329
that's your idea of expensive? lol

>>19665389
when WT101 is $18 and significantly better it sure feels expensive

>>19665397
101 has gone up to $25 now. 81 is $17.99 and Rye 101 is $21.99. Kentucky Spirit is harder to find and went up $10-15.

>>19665472
I can still find it for 18-20 where I'm at luckily. buffalo trace is up in the 50s now though which I find hilarious

>>19664559
>What's this like?
that's what I wanna know, discussion went from snake wine to her wondering if you could do the same with ants and I looked it up and found this. I like unique spirits and making cocktails so it really sucks when I find shit like this but it's not made in the US and thus is basically unobtanium

>>19665476
101 handles are nearing $50 which isnt as good a value as it used to be either.

BT still under $30 here but if you want Eagle Rare you have to run into the city and be gay. alternatively, the Bowman line of bourbons have a good value and generally arent sought after by taters despite being BT distillate whereas even the Benchmark shit disappeared once it landed.

>>19665476
>buffalo trace is up in the 50s
a fifth or a handle?

>>19665671
a fifth. I think it was $54 at bevmo last time I went in

>>19655298
bring back pre ban 4loko

>>19665676
>bevmo
there's your problem.

>>19665687

>>19654946
Hell yeah Pohjala

Currently sipping pic related

Costco run results. Woodford $42, Laphroaig $43, Green Spot $50, Glendronach $48, Lagavulin $80.
Costco's stock rotates a lot and some days Costco has nothing good at all, but today was a very good day.

>>19654001
That is one of the gayest fucking labels I've read.

You could have bought 200 rotisserie chickens with that money anon

had a dream last night i got a beer at a bar and realized mid dream that i just broke my 3 year no alcohol streak and felt so bad

then i realized i was dreaming and felt so much better

>>19665801
They also had a $550 bottle of 27 year old Redbreast.
I was only slightly tempted to buy it.

>they bought Butt Buddy Light again

I'm going to get some drinks with my gf* tonight. Specifically I'm going to order a manhattan because I have little experience with bitter cocktails. Someone give me advice on how to enjoy it.

*I just learned two days ago that she's fucking other men, prefers stronger guys, thinks I'm weak and low stamina, and finds my memes to be cringe. Needless to say I will also be letting her know that it's time to part ways.

>>19666792
Just dump her now. Don't bother getting drinks with her. Go drinking alone and enjoy whatever the fuck you prefer to drink. I have a friend who somehow has girls all about him but he drinks sweet booze. Do what you like my guy

>>19666826
Potentially sage advice. I know it doesn't fucking matter what kind of booze you like, but I really am looking forward to trying some bitter stuff. Just to try it out. As for the woman, I will feel better about it if I can take care of business in person. So tonight I win by getting drinks and by being rid of her all in one convenient event.

>>19666849
Good luck then my anonymoose friend. With bitter, are you sticking to mainly liqour or are you also interested in beer?

Not sure if this is a right idea but you can always ask for a shot of whatever to determine if you'd enjoy it mixed with other shit. Tbh it's been a grip since I've been to a bar

>>19666884
Bitter cocktails specifically. Gonna start with a manhattan. Beer is what I usually drink, so I won't have any tonight.
>shot taste tests
Hey that's a preddy cool idea, I'll keep that in mind! When was the last time you went to a bar, and why come you don't go anymore?

>>19666920
>Gonna start with a manhattan.
Report back your findings. Some how I've never had one
>When was the last time you went to a bar,
Went to a local bar for boyfriend and his friends birthday
>and why come you don't go anymore?
Not cost effective for me. Plus the bars around here are all redneck/hill jack. So beer choices are shit and nothing all that interesting in the liqour arsenal. I'm not hoity toity with beer i just don't like piss water,twisted tea and angry orchard

>>19666792
>>19666826
Let her get blasted, then dump her and go drinking at another bar. Let her suffer the consequences of her actions.

>>19667236
I'm about 99.9% sure if he did that, the girl would just slide up to some other guy there.

24 of miller lite in three days. That bad? People acting like I'm drinking a handle of whiskey a night.

>>19658174
chaucers isnt bad but i recommend mixing it half with water, for me it brings out the honey flavor. if you want really good mead just watch some youtube videos and make yourself

>>19667549
when my uncle drove up to visit last Thanksgiving he brought 2 30 count packs of Milwaukee's Best for a 4-5(2 days on the road) day round trip. boomers that have been drinking like that for decades are understandable. most gen x/millennials seem to binge drink more often, but nothing that's comes close and zoomers see alcohol as lame.

unrelated, my dad had a senior moment today and left the beer he paid for on the counter at the store and didnt notice until he was back home wondering where the hell it went. I hope it's not a sign of things to come. his dad's nearing 90 and is still sharp. maybe it was just his mid day medication.

>>19667657
>zoomers see alcohol as lame.
I spend $500+ on a boozy weekend alone and I'm 25. I grew up with drinking in the family though.

>>19666938
Manhattan was great. I've had whiskey before and don't like it, but the Manhattan was like whiskey if whiskey wasn't so bad. Plus the cherry at the bottom was delicious. Would recommend. Then I had some weird drink with absinthe in it and I can't remember what else. Definitely didn't dump girl. We went back to her place and had sex and neither of us came. again.
>Went to a local bar for boyfriend and his friends birthday
Based gay anon?
>Not cost effective for me.
Big truth.
>Plus the bars around here are all redneck/hill jack. So beer choices are shit and nothing all that interesting in the liqour arsenal. I'm not hoity toity with beer i just don't like piss water,twisted tea and angry orchard
kek c'mon anon! have a twisty! I kid of course. Never had one. Man where do you live where there are no craft beers on tap? Still, sounds charming for like one bar visit.

What's the appral of tees Esquire?? Does it kno Cosmo?

I'm sad berry Weiss isn't sold in my state anymore. Just summer shandy.

fuck i'd love a red wine tomorrow lads
what's a good red i drink? like $3 aldi red win but i wouldn't mind like a nice bottle of red but i know fuck all about what's good and what's not

>>19666792
manhattan's aren't bitter. a shot of fernet is bitter.

Good to know. Sounds pretty alright

That's..something. why do this to yourself?
>Based gay anon?
Femanon, but most believe women don't exist on the internet so
>Man where do you live where there are no craft beers on tap?
Some outer city part of a majorish city in NE Ohio. Rednecks,hill jacks and bikers galore. Mainly just get my booze from work.
>Still, sounds charming for like one bar visit.
If you're down for a bar full of boomers and geriatrics reliving their glory days. I give a pass to the vets granted.

>>19667705
if you want something bitter/medicinal try a cocktail that uses campari, it's kind of a love/hate thing. Jungle Bird>Negroni>Boulevardier are some of my favorites that you can likely find anywhere, though I wouldn't be surprised if a bar doesn't have pineapple juice for the Jungle Bird.

I'm off weed and I'm wondering whether I should stop drinking, lest I get addicted to that.
I've 6cl vodka and a glass of wine left in the house. Going to drink the wine with a bolognese.

>>19668432
throw away the vodka. if you drink vodka you're not drinking for the enjoyment of it anymore

Ah, a shithole. Gotcha. Get down to Cleveland and grab yourself some booze at a store, fuck bars.

>>19668808
>Get down to Cleveland and grab yourself some booze at a store
Not big on going up to a bigger shit hole, then again I've been wanting to visit Great Lakes brewery at some point. And I get my booze at work. Got Cavalier to bring in one of my favorites beer wise.

>>19668822
What keeps you up there so that you're willing to suffer shit booze? Good that you at least got something - distributor?

>>19668836
I have the lowest rent around and my paychecks are ass. Threw my hat in the ring for liqour lead at another location in my city. And I work in a grocery store. I deal with beer and wine on normal weeks.

>>19662923
Nebbiolo is always a great option
it's Barolo at half the price

I haven't had wine in years. What are some good brands that don't break the bank?

>>19669632
I just go cheap and French.
Pic is a good default choice for me at $13. On the drier side, earthy, relatively complex compared to other wines in that price range.

>>19654001
i had this beer the other day
https://prairieales.com/beer/thai-delight/
it was a typically sweet pastry-type sour but it had like chunks of coconut cream in it. almost like one of those drinks you get at an asian grocery store with chunks of coconut or jelly in them. it was wild. never had anything like it, in fact i didn't know you could even have beer with stuff floating in it. sounds gross and it was a little offputting at first but by the third sip i was enjoying it.

>>19654690
for mass market stuff i like sailor jerry and appleton reserve, both of those are around $20 probably
for me, it's planter's punch:
-bottle of spiced rum
-pink lemonade (get the fancier stuff)
-juice of several limes or one green plastic lime juice container
add other things (chopped up fruit etc) as desired

drink from large container filled with ice and poured over ice, and remember to drink water because
a) it will go down extremely easy so you will get schwasted
b) because of the rum and sugar you will have a hellish hangover
so drink water

>>19654938
i know Flor de Cana is kind of mass produced and shilled and probably too expensive but it's really good. in general i have been impressed with the rums i've gotten from central america and venezuela, when i used to live with a restaurant bar manager guy they would get tasting bottles and he'd bring the leftovers home. but flor de cana i have fond memories of particularly, i drank a lot of it on a layover in Managua with a sultry milf trapped in an unhappy marriage

>>19656137
old forester is good. my booze snob alcoholic roommate always talked about how old granddad and the slightly fancier evan williams were the best cheap whiskeys. my personal favorite mass market whiskey bottle is the four roses small batch and i get a bottle every fall.

also if you have access to homemade apple cider, the stuff from the orchard itself, i've made a tradition to drinking cider and rye or bourbon (something like old granddad or evan williams would be perfect for this)

also protip find an orchard that makes cider vinegar and get them to give you the nondiluted stuff, it is magic. for a few years i found a place that would refill a Bragg's bottle for like $5, it was ambrosia. good for everything.

>>19658042
mix it with tonic or soda and lime? maybe a little lemonade? and try not being such a big baby? anyway after the first one the taste is a lot less strong.

>>19665710
when i was in college we'd get those for free all the time, i don't know why or how. i remember girls in uniforms (like red bull girls) giving us several cases for free as we were walking out of a liquor store, my friend got arrested for indecent exposure that night lol

Can any anons commiserate with me on the death of this fine American brew? It was the peak of American large scale microbrewing, and to my shame I neglected it for years before realizing they had been shut down. They started putting it in cans and I snubbed them, not realizing that was their death knell. Anchor Steam was beer perfected, and now it is gone.

>>19659221
it is smokey, but it is going to be a lot sweeter than scotch. it tastes decent for sipping but I could see the flavor getting old fast, probably better as a mixer.

>>19666920
Negroni is the best bitter cocktail, and the name is fun to say

>>19655572
really depends on the stage of the alchie I find.
the vast majority of terminal alcoholics tend to gravitate towards vodka because
>can get a ton of it cheap
>relatively tasteless and odorless
>can pretend it's not liquor for the truly doomed alcoholics
the exception are those that are rich, don't give a fuck about appearances, or both.

Try mead from Brittany, especially this one: https://dragonrouge.bzh/#cdr/2

>>19657329
Not beer, but a good mead/honey wine would work. Could also get away with ciders.

You could also try to vary each drink by fantasy race. Dwarves might like stouts, halflings lagers, elves wines, orcs might like schnapps or vodka, etc.

I HATE TEXAS I HATE TEXAS I HATE TEXAS
I can never find certain spirits, and I can't order anything because it's fucking illegal to ship liquor in/to Texas. Only retailers have the ability to do so, and of course they pick the normie shit. THIS STATE IS NOT FREE

I love being drunk at work, makes the time fly, makes it fun, kills the aches.

What do you think about these? Glaincairn glass but larger and without the base, for mixing drinks or adding ice. I was going to buy some old-fashioned glasses but I figured I might as well just get these instead.

Kek, 10€ a bottle here. Considering what legit German doppelbocks go for (3-4€), I can't imagine I wouldn't be dissapointed by this. The couple of beers I've had from them were good, though.

>>19673565
I too would like to try, but the price is putting me off. I can get a really good sipping whiskey I know I'll like for that money. And this thing has a ton of sugar, so I know it's not that expensive to produce. None of the "alternatives" are available in my particular euro country either.

>>19674851
Looks like an unhappy compromise to me, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't suit you. Personally, I'd go classic Double Old Fashioned, just feels right in the hand.

I AM DRINKING

i love alcohol

I don't drink on any day I go to work. Can't drink again until Saturday, boo hoo.

i should stick to dumping bottom-shelf vodka into oral rehydration solution. today i guzzled two 40s of steel and passed out. 7PM hangover.

How do I get into actually drinking whiskey? Do I just force it until I develop a taste?

what do i drink when i've hit rock-bottom?

>>19670680
I lucked up and found a 6-pack of the Porter at this shitty liquor store. There was another 6-pack left and I guarentee it's still sitting there, might go pick it up in the future. It's really damn good porter, reminds me of Sam Smith. I've already drank 5 of them, saved 1 to drink on a special occasion. RIP

Yes, doppelbocks are way better. If you're after booze, they go up to 14%. If it has to be an ale, get a quadruppel. Only adjunct-lovers have any reason to get stuff like this.

Do you live in the US? Do you live where mail order is legal? If so, you might actually be able to get whiskey cheaper through mail order than locally, even after accounting for shipping costs.
Mail order is usually like $15-20 flat rate whether it's one bottle or several, so if you buy like four bottles you're only paying $5 per bottle for shipping. If whiskey is really almost $30 more expensive than it should be where you live, then you could save money with mail order.

>>19678894
Imported things are often cheaper. Depends where it's being imported from and what it is.

Do you guys think drinking a handle of 80 or proof spirit in three sessions with a day between sessions is going to kill my liver. That's like a handle a week.

Probably. If you have to ask, you should probably ease up

Japan has a machine that mixes the whiskey and soda perfectly, but you can made a good one by hand with enough care. To start I keep the whiskey cold in the freezer. The quality of the soda is also important, go for something nice like fever tree, and pour it slowly. Ice cube shape is a personal preference but use ones made from filtered water

why yes I DO put a large ice cube in my stirred drinks

pharma phag here, stick to NSAIDs like ibuprofen after drinking. Tylenol after alcohol is like a liver failure speed run

>>19680293
If you don't have the obvious symptoms of liver damage than you are at the reversible state. Just stop drinking for a month. It's technically reversible in two weeks but to be safe go longer. Don't binge over five drinks and don't get drunk more than once a week. If you need to drink every day just have beer or two.

My mom and dad used to get cider from Elsass (we are german, it's a hop over the Border). Wonderful tasty. We Germans have something similar but not that good. I drank it like 20 years ago.. Maybe it's to harsh to say it wasn't that goof. It's called "federweißer".

My opinion:no good cidre if from the supermarket.

>>19683065
federweißer is grape based and totally different from cider (apples)
the german equivalent would be Most or Ebbelwoi in Hessen

Which is better? BiB or this? The price difference is negligible.

>>19684945
value wise, BiB. flavor wise idk since I've only had the BiB, but I wasnt a fan and honestly preferred Henry McKenna sour mash. thinking about picking up a handle of the 1783 soon though.

>>19685442
>value wise, BiB
BiB and 1783 are only about $1 apart.

Can anyone explain to me why Bordeaux wine makers are in such deep shit?

>>19681782
These two are fantastic. I'd put them up there with the best Cognacs and Armagnacs I've had.

whiskey/hard liquor is too strong, the occasional ice cold beer or wine is better

Ok, i'm about to make mead, i have 1.2kg of honey, mead yeast and water, want to make 5l. Is there a certain sequence i should combine them in or just slap everything together? How long should it ferment before being seperated to different bottles?

It just werks.

>>19685473
BiB means by definition that it must be four years of age and 100 proof.
1783 is extra aged (a vague statement), small batch (meaningless unless stated how big the batch is) and 90 proof.

From a value perspective BiB is the winner, but only the tastebuds know the truth of value.

Is it worth trying Irish whiskey? Normally drink bourbon.

>>19685473
$5-$7 difference in my neck of the woods

>>19687047
Irish is mostly on the lighter side of Scotch style whisky. big difference between the typical Jameson and Bushmills to something like Redbreast Tyrconnell too, so it depends on which end on the pool do you want to take a dip in.

Bourbon smells so good. Bought a Glencairn glass and if I get the right angle when smelling it, it's great. Didn't buy any special bourbon either.

>>19689781
Seems like hovering my nose about an inch above the glass is best. If I stick my nose in it, it burns lol

>>19654001
11.99 for a 6pk of pint cans is pretty alright. Also raking gin recommendations

>>19689880
sniffing too hard. try slightly opening your mouth so that the harsh bits separate.

>>19689995
Will try that when I get another glass later

>>19689995
Yeah that helped. After checking that I decided to add an ice cube. Definitely made the drink less enjoyable. Will be sticking with neat.

>>19690216
Adding ice = drink is watered down, less flavor, tastes bad, need to drink it faster before it gets watered down too much, feels like you're just drinking to get drunk rather than to enjoy the whiskey

what is the bump limit on this board?

>>19690607
300 maybe? We've already hit.
