What's your favorite beer?

MountainPro

Nice one....for years i have always strived to come up with a way to combine competitive cycling and binge drinking (UKs latest craze)...off to Schwartenfurter for me..

el Inglés

Theikson´s Old Peculiar : used to be brewed in England and the only thing that I miss , a "real ale " of the old school - draft english bitter used to be the best beer ( not lager ) in the world but now it´s all pressurised piddle .

If you like lager then try Belgium - they have more than 200 different makes .

I must agree with you on that one. It might not come as a shock but 7 out of 10 pints sold in this country are pressurised, cold, tasteless piss known as lager.
The bitter drinkers (real ale) are generally over 35. Mr Boddington came out with these figures, so you've got to believe him.

Real ale is okay for the pipe and slippers brigade but for hardened binge drinkers it has to me some Red Square, Stella and Absynth in a pint glass in equal proportions.

I tell you what, the old Caledonian 80 shilling is a nice ale and i am quite partial to all those brown bottled ales you get in Tesco these days, the ones with the names such as 'The Parsons Pecker', 'Haystack Juice' and 'Old Mother's Bible Spew' . Not that i would touch the parsons pecker with a feekin barge pole you understand but some of the others are quite potent in achohol which, to be honest, is what this whole drinking lark is all about.

Occasionally i will partake of a light refreshement or two when there is an Old Firm game on the telly. A nice cold tinnints (fizzy piss water to some) but its all about the atmoshphere......c'mon the hoops..

BassDave

Root. The only beer I'll drink.

MountainPro

i think the question was aimed at the over 13s on the forum.

mind you, thats a lovely bass you have on your homepage...now, not even a madman in his deppest state of delerium would describe me as a musician but my bro has a few basses and a couple of custom fretless ones...none as nice as yours though....

FredC

Over 8's in Scotland.
Absinthe and Buckfast with a Gold Label chaser.
A bit of boozing history here. That prison in London 'Wormwood Scrubs' got it's name from the surrounding area on which Wormwood grew. This was used to make absinthe.
Those bottles of real ale that you buy in Tesco. Look out for one from Marstons by the name of 'Firestoker'.

How about Mrs Baxters Highland Games soup, and genuine cabers as a present from Scotland. Now we know where all the telegraph poles went.

Wow! Thank you very much, MountainPro! I got extremely luck on that fretless one. But everyone who hears it says it sounds excellent, and even the music store that soldered the electronics said it sounded better than the ones on the wall. Whew!!! Was I ever so relieved THAT day!! Anyway, thank you for the kind words!

Oh, and the Root being the only beer I drink was a bit of a joke, though I actually don't drink anything with alcohol in it. I had my first and last drink experience one night in 1989, woke up the next morning [after passing out], and swore I'd never drink again. Never did again. Felt HORRIBLE!!! I guess Southern Comfort and Everclear wasn't the best thing to try for a first time. I was really stupid THAT evening.

FredC

What's Everclear? Some sort of window cleaning fluid. Export it to Scotland, they love that sort of drink.

I'm not exactly sure [others may know more about it than I do] but it is a clear color, well into the upper regions of alcohol percent/proof, and even has a nice warning label on it that over consumption could be fatal. Yeah. I was a real moron that night. Scared the living tar out of one of my friends who opted not to drink.

jhuskey

Hell no! It is not to be used on anything as delicate as glass.Way too dangerous.

Everclear,PGA - Pure Grain Alcohol and a few others. A favorite of the college crew to mix with whatver and get smashed. Cheap and potent.
It ranges around the 180- 200 proof scale.
It aint't sipping whiskey.

"Wine is fine but wiskey is quicker. Sucide is slow with liquor"
Ozzy

Guess that statement would not be true with Everclear.

I'll stick with beer. I've heard of people passing out after just a few swigs on the everclear.

May have to go for a beer run now. Anyway todays thought of the day is
