    What Is Your Favorite Brand Of Beer?

    I like Red Stripe when I can afford it and it has a light straw colour and the aroma is grainy sweet with some sweet apples type of taste. Also it has a full flavor kind of taste for a lager beer and originated in Jamaica, also the brand is owned by Heineken but not sure where they are brewing...

    Your Maximum Consumption

    Is this a trick question? because you have to figure the percent of alcohol I believe with this equation, and a 5% beer can make you twice as drunk as a 4% version(not sure how they got that figure though). The experts claim this and its based on the way the alcohol strengths are measured...

    Late Night Outings

    I really do not go out much these days,because of the dangers that lurk in the night and other drunks. I got my fill back in college to last me a lifetime with the- "out on the town thing". Maybe a few beers or glass of wine, at a nice pub or restaurant during happy hour, but I am not to big on...

    Beer With Whiskey.

    I think they call this a boiler maker or whiskey chaser,but a good reason for me to do this is to conserve my beer,so having a glass of whiskey helps you not drink all your beer (expensive or cheap beer)up. The reason people have a combination of beer and whiskey though is to produce a faster...

    Which Beer For The Fourth?

    I think that I would try to find a cheap Pale Ale of some kind because it goes with food in a really good way and grilled meats,also sharp cheese goes with this beer as well. Anybody know some cheap Pale Ale beers besides Sierra Nevada Pale Ale that are available anywhere in stores?

    Whisky Or Whiskey?

    Yeah,just don't call it whiskey or spell it like that in Scotland,but I like the way they distill whiskey 3 times in Ireland though to make a very smooth and tasty product. The countries that spell it whisky- are Great Britain,Canada,and Japan but they drink Whiskey in Ireland and the United States.

    Flat Beer

    No, I do not think I would drink flat or skunky beer,and leaving beer in the light can cause this. The hops can react in a photosynthetic reaction that can change the taste,and thats why the brown bottles are the best to protect your beer. Also after 3 to 4 months after the beer was bottled,it...

    Wine Coolers?

    I remember when they introduced these Wine Coolers in the 80's(Bartles & James) but they say they were made up of cheap white wine,water,and flavors like apple,citrus,and berry. I think the first homemade Wine Cooler though was white wine and 7up, they say?

    Pairing Bourbon With Food

    I think banana bread is nice to pair with a sweet bourbon and some other things that go great with this tasty drink,is a savory steak of some kind,also some rather light cheese and crackers, and maybe some oaky tasting bourbon to wash it down, would be nice. I think a good fruit they recommend...

    Beers And Pubs

    I like the Irish pub system for drinking beer and you can just walk home when your done like in the rural villages over there or Dublin,or you can even get a bite to eat at them. They are a good place to socialize and get out of the rain as well,also make new friends and watch the latest...

    What Is The Worst Whiskey You Have Ever Had

    I always enjoyed most of the cheaper whiskey brands, but my farvorite cheap whiskies are going to be the irish ones becuse they are smooth and sweet. Some great and rather cheap irish whiskies are Bushmills and it taste of grain and honey also try Tullamore Dew which has a taste of toffee and...

I found one thats called Mayflower Thanksgiving Ale and they make it in Plymouth Massachusetts which was the place of the first Thanksgiving which is quite interesting. This ale has...

    Adding A Little Water Or Not.....

    I like it on the rocks so it probably melts a bit while you drink it and adds a bit of smoothness to the bourbon. I would think the melting of ice,going through this process,kind of brings out the taste and aromas as well and makes it a more mellow drink.

    Taste And Quality: Miller Light, Coors Light And Bud Light

    I will choose "The Silver Bullet" which is Coors light and its a clean and crisp tasting kind of beer,with a mountain spring water kind of touch to it as well. Its a great beer at any price though and when you drink it down,it goes down smooth and mellow and with no bad after taste also.

    Whаt Is Thе Diffеrеnсе In Tаstе Оr Fееl Аftеr Drinking А Whiskеy Whiсh Соsts $10 Fоr 750 Ml In Соmpа

    Yeah,the longer whiskey is stored,and in a better quality of cask, for a longer time when it ages, it should pick up a better flavor than one that is stored for a shorter period of time. The whiskey can also react to the environment of where the casks are stored, like the salty air of a coastal...

    Why Dо А Lоt Оf Pеоplе Еnjоy Bееr In Spitе Оf Its Bittеr Tаstе?

    With the bitterness of beer, you can usually blame the hops but also you must consider how the sweet malts balance the brew out,and therefore the sweet malts can subdue the bitter hops. But hops can offer flavor as well,like fruit,citrus,cedar,wine and floral flavors and some hops are not bitter...

    Difference Between Whisky And Brandy.

    Brandy is made from grapes and whiskey begins with grain,also Brandy is enjoyed as a after dinner coctail. Whisky is made from different grains,but both Whisky and Brandy are aged in oak wooden casks though. The Brandy alcohol content can be a bit higher being 40 to 60% and Whisky being 40 to...

    Best Beer For Burgers?

    I think they most recommend a Pale Ale with burgers,and I might have to agree with this one. These beers have a bitterness of hops, that I guess stands up to the flavor of the hamburger. Also any kind of foods that have a bite like a mature cheese of some kind, work good with Pale Ale,so if you...

    Unique Flavored Beer

    No thanks !

Another one is Lone Tree Acres O' Green Irish Red which...
