Favorite/Least Favorite Brands of Alcohol

[ResAlien]

I'm sure I'll be told I like swill, but I did happen to run across some Kold here once, that was good for a "regular" beer.

But I also like Molson XXX. I'm kind of a drunk, so whatever does the job, except that god awful wheat beer. I cannot stress enough that that garbage isn't fit for human consumption.

[McG]

beer loves: guinness cold, innis and gunn, black amber ale, mcewans export
beer hates: hoegaarden, mgd

vodka best: smirnoff blue label

rum best: lamb's navy rum

cider: rock creek, strongbow

I've had Innis and Gunn, and I've gotta say...meh. It was alright, but definitely not worth the price tag, and you can only have one or two. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing I suppose.

Man, I wish I could remember the names of some of the beers I had in Europe...they were just outstanding. There were a couple Czech and one or two Austrian ones that were really really good.

Also blankall, I find that I can taste the difference between "cheap" beers. Maybe it's just because I drink them often enough.

Oh and gimme a vote for Bombay Sapphire. But with tonic water, not in a martini. Martini's are gross.

[Eric Vail]

I forgot to mention one the best beers I have ever had is called Hermanator and can only be bought on Vancouver Island around Christmas. I've only had it once, but it was outstanding!

I don't like beer in general, but I will drink Dos Equis amber. I'm more of a wine guy.

For hard booze, I really only like Bourbon. Jim Beam when poor, Woodford when I have a few more bucks on me.

When out, I like to order anything with grand marnier, usually doesn't matter what kind of drink. (I actually don't drink Cosmos...let's also make that clear)

[doozwimp]

Alexander Keith's Pale Ale is my everyday beer (despite not being a true pale ale). When I feel like something a little fancier i go with Pilsner Urquell.

I hate Corona, and am not much for hard liquor.

That Wraspberry Ale stuff is pretty good.

Alley Kat makes some pretty neat stuff. That Pumpkin Pie beer was pretty good, as was the Winter Ale or whatever it was.

Really? You liked that? I thought it tasted like the drippings from a compost bin. It just goes to show that everybody's taste buds are different eh.

I tried some hemp beer too ... I think Granville island might have made it. It was, umm, interesting. Not good certainly, not really bad ... just interesting. And different. I wouldn't call it beer though.

I suppose I should be more accurate in my description. It's pretty decent as a draft, but outta the bottle it's not very good at all. It's definitely one where you can only have one or two and that's it.

[habernac]

Beer: Fat Tire Ale mmmmm, for local (or national) Keiths and Molson Export

Hard liquor I avoid as it tends to make me angry.

[schnee]

Fav beers: Rickards Red, Kokanee, Big Rock Beers, Canadian, and Elsinore.

Theres a huge surprise...


Actually, Wine is pretty good, I enjoy it but really only on the odd occasion or when you're really in the mood for it. The Vino hangovers absolutely slay me.

Jim Beam is good stuff when you feel like getting loser drunk and seriously punishing yourself for a few days.

[Weiser Wonder]

Favorite: Guinness, Grasshopper
Least favorite: Anything with "ice" in the name, Busch Light. American beer can get downright terrible. Budweiser and MGD are on the higher end of the stuff you can buy in gas stations.

Not really into hard liquor anymore and never have been into wine.

[Thunderball]

As for Homemade Wine, I dont think its possible to make good wine from a kit. It may taste alright if you're lucky, but its loaded with excess sugars and crap, and tend to make people sick. As a general rule, I avoid it in any quantity greater than a polite half glass, unless I know the person makes theirs from real grapes, and knows what they are doing.

Whiskies (Scotch, Rye, etc.)
Like: Jack Daniels (Gentleman Jack), Crown Royal, Tumbler Ridge, Glenfiddich
