[big zeke]

Back in school (like 20 yrs ago) Tequila gold straight behind a beer (dark beer is best) - can't remember anything after the 2nd one.

Since then, 15 yr Balvennie , any Auschentoshan, really old (30-40 yr) tawny port.

I've probably had too much practise at this.
Zeke

[Elohim]

if im feelin rich, Jameson special reserve 12 year irish whiskey

Usually I just grab a jug of Hiram Walkers Special Old, my favorite canadian rye whiskey... had many of firsts thanks to Mr. Walker....including first time getting caught dipping into dads liquor, and first hangover :D

[jaylow?]

Beer, preferably Pilsner. Paralyzers. Amber Rum. Mostly the beer though!

vitamin p all the way.!!!!! :love:

[Albertadiver]

Wisers deluxe

Also enjoy dark rum. Some of the dark stuff we bought in Cuba was great, but my new favorite is Mount Gay.

I enjoy my beer, but to wind down for the evening, definately a nice rum or whiskey. Don't know enough about scotch, but I'm heading that direction. :lol:

[vinny]

x2 on the Mount Gay rum. Best by far with Ginger ale and lime.

[graham1]

Another Pil fan here. A little scotch every now and then. Not fussy on brand.

[sprinklerdog]

I like my whiskey on ice. I was recently introduce to Forty Barrel Whiskey and it is now my new favourite.

Geo

[pickrel pat]

4-5 budweiser, followed by 4-5 gibson rye and coke, followed by........ gee, i dont remember what i drink after that!!!! :lol:

[Mike_W]

Jagermeister straight cold or on ice, Mixed with coke is good too!
I like my Rye and my spiced rum...I also like white, amber and dark rum ...favorite amber rum came from the dominican Ron Barcelo imperial!!...I also like red wine and beer and on those bad nights a fine tequilla........I suppose I just like to drink lol:innocent::evilgrin:

[bobjoe]

Beer, preferably Pilsner. Paralyzers. Amber Rum. Mostly the beer though!

I agree Mostly beer, I like anything wet when it comes to beer, But Gibson Rare 18 years hits the spot when I need to relax or a 25 year old bottle of Dalwhinnie single malt scotch on the rocks. Gee I could keep going with this one....:evilgrin:

[roadkill]

Uh, Lagavulin and Bowmore are my faves. I also like Bombay Sapphire. For rum, I'm into Appleton's.

On the non-hard side, it's all about the Syrah, Shiraz or Pinot Noir. My faves are all either Californian, BC, a few Ontarios and a whole lot of South Africans.

On the beer side, it's a whole different thread...

[IR_mike]

Beer wise, sleemans honey brown (literal translation from the gods I think) or cream ale for something lighter.

Absolute citron lemon vodka or finlandia lime, both with.....well anything.

Don't mind the odd shot of rye but wow it sure don't like me.:lol:

Rum see above times 2.

[redranger15]

Nothing like a cold beer,and a good ceasar.

[alacringa]

Strong, dark beer (Okanagan Springs' Porter is a current favourite).
Sometimes a real nice scotch.
On cold days in the winter, nice warm sake.

[4thredneck]

Ceasars At Tony Romas are pretty hard to beat. BP's Does a pretty good job too.:love::love::love::love: Beer on a really hot day.

[TheClash]

a nice dark creamy cold rootbeer....or really atrong ginger beer mixed with a bit of water...'bout as strong as i get haha

[froggy]

Cold beer during the summer.

Lamb's Amber Rum or Lemon Heart.

Love Captain Morgan Spiced Rum but just tried Captain Mortgages Special stock. Think I might have a new favorite:love:

Surprised to see so many list Scotch. Only 7 types in my cupboard right now.

Rum drinkers you should try the Cruzan Estate Single Barrel.

[IR_mike]

Has anyone tried the real absinthe?

With the oil of wormwood and "thujone" I believe its called.

Just curious to what its like, and no I don't have a desire to make crazy paintings or slice my left ear off.

[ghostguy6]

Tastes like black liquorish. The alcohol content is so high that you really dont get the effects of the thujone.

Personally I like Appleton Estates rum, Crystal Skull vodka, Tangle Ridge rye, and Glenlivet. Frozen Malibu is good too, goes down like a slushie but it has to be like - 30*C before it will freeze.

[The Fisherman Guy]

Harn. East coast moonshine, bought off a roughneck up north. Stuff makes your mind unwind.

Glenmorangie sherry finish

Mount Gay. Makes. The. Perfect. Drink.

Moosehead for beer

Black Stallion Vodka

Gibson's 18 year is the ultimate whikkey.

[BBJTKLE&FISHINGADVENTURES]

How did i know this was going to come up :lol::lol::lol:, Im no longer a Vodka drinker , but remain a Rum or Whiskey guy , And of course Beer . Budweiser , or moosehead is good , or whatever that beer was that Bobcatguy had in hunt camp . I think it was some cheep beer but man it was tasty .

[Chris K]

Vodka Caesars or a Corona with a lime.

I like Gladiators for shots.

Chris K

[steve]

im a redneck ill drink anything lol

[Whiskey Wish]

Century Reserve 21 year old whiskey - difficult to find. Canadian Club Classic is almost as good and Gibsons Finest will do when nothing else is available.
S.I.L. drinks Capt. Morgan Spiced so have become accustomed to that rum and we drank boat loads of Brugal in the Dominican Republic and that is very tasty rum.

Keep Your Powder Dry,
Dave.

[saskbuffaloguy]

X2 on the Gibsons 18 year old..but when when I have extra money burning a hole in my pocket.
The rest of the time its regular gibsons either on ice, with coke, or mixxed half and half with Baileys..with lots of ice.

Any type of beer will suit this guy. GrassHopper with a couiple slices of lemon, or a few years and girlfriends ago I was introduced to Yuengling beer when working on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. It's a tall brunette type of beer..come to think of it so was the girl.:evilgrin:

A very good top shelf sippin tequila is very tough to beat too

[Dick284]

I like the single malt Scotch's. My favorite being Cragganmore,

Otherwise it's rye with my favorite there being Tangle Ridge.

[camshaft]

Well I'm not sure who has mentioned fine tequila yet, but I have recently started enjoying this type of drink. Not the cheap "shooting" brands, but a nice sipping type similar to a scotch.

My favs so far are Patron (anejo) and Don Julio (anejo). Both incredibly smooth and strikingly different from each other.

Still makes me cringe when I see the g/f doing shots of $100 tequila though :(

[bisonhunter]

lost my sense of smell in a car wreck 20 years ago, the only one i can really taste is from bourbon county kentucky, mostly wild turkey or makers mark. i like them on ice or with a bit of coke. i'm not averse to a dark rum either.
for beer i like the browns and reds.

[Geezle]

I'm a Saskatchewan boy so I have to go with the Pil! I also really like Big Rock Traditional, or if I'm slummin' it I'll grab a few Boxer's or Lucky's :o

If I'm on a mission it's usually white rum or vodka.

[honda450]

Nothin like a fine wine like Calona Red or Baby Duck. :wave:

[Ryry4]

Good Tequila (something that's over a $100 a bottle, anything under that tastes like boat gas) or Jack Daniels Single Barrel.

[rhuntley12]

Has anyone tried the real absinthe?

With the oil of wormwood and "thujone" I believe its called.

Just curious to what its like, and no I don't have a desire to make crazy paintings or slice my left ear off.

Years ago I tried a couple different kind imported from other parts of the world. Never did the sugar on the spoon thing, just straight. The taste as I can describe it is just bitter, thats really it. It made me us feel mainly drunk but a little goofy.

I used to drink almost all liquor straight or with ice but hard to do that anymore with the cheapest liquor.

My favorite is probably a glass of jameson, bushmills or glenfiddich with some ice.

[lucky_magic_stick]

I think I will be the responsible 17 year old that I am and say my poison is a nice cup of peppermint tea every morning while checking the board :P but seriously it's always nice to have a Bud with my dad here and there (Andy) and then this weekend I'm thinking some Corona and lime, the some coke and rum!

Cheers, Brett

[PoorTurtle]

Hi My Name Is Todd and I drink a lot of Canadian........
Havana Club 7year old or better

[theycallmeNoah]

Nothing like a cold beer,and a good ceasar.

x2 with the odd porn star shooter

[BowhuntAB]

Beer- Bud or Bud light and lots of Patron.

[Matt L.]

Beer, My fave is Holsten from Germany. Any german beer is good tho! I also like Keith's. I don't mind some brandy or scotch now and then, but I'm not much of a hard liqour guy.

[wall tent]

it's bin oxycodone and strong coffee for me i broke my back but canadian beer if all is good.

[doetracks]

Love light ales and lagers.

Favorite used to be Yukon Brewing's Yukon Gold or Cranberry Wheat Ale. Now that I'm in MT, I'm a BIG fan of Big Sky Brewing's Summer Honey.

Unfortunately, I got off of contract after they discontinued it for the winter :(

When the hub and I were in Calgary couple weeks ago, tried a couplu other honey ales - Sleeman's for one, Rickard's Honey Brown and Original Joe's Honey Brown. Big Sky is the best, IMO. Of course, it's all subjective :D

[Tracker34]

Big Rock honey brown beer. Warm or cold. That, or a Capt. Morgan Spiced rum with cranberry and lime with ice. I see there is Capt. Morgan 100, spiced rum. It's 50%. Haven't tried it yet.

[shooter]

Any good German or Belgium made beer preferably the foggy wheat beers.... Erdinger Weissbier
Paulaner Weissbier

For North American it's Keith's.

if not beer then,
Wisers Special Blend whiskey with a good can a Pepsi.

[Whiskey Wish]

it's bin oxycodone and strong coffee for me i broke my back but canadian beer if all is good.

:eek: Ya mean yer not supposed to mix 'em ???
I find my Percoset goes well with a nice red Pinot Noir or Foche wine as well as adds a nice hue to my fav rye whiskey..... :evilgrin:

8 WEEKS in this stinking cast...I'd go plumb crazy without the occasional ''elixir of life" to unfurl my troubled brow.

Keep Your Powder Dry,
Dave.

[Elohim]

since so many people mentioned beers I thought I would chime in with a few of my favorites...

#1.) Newcastle (Dark)
#2.) Smithwicks
#3.) Big Rock McNally's, its a genuinely GOOD strong beer...not something you buy in a 40 ounce and keep in the paper bag to share with your buddies in a back alley


Also, this summer while doing a tour of western canada we met a guy in central alberta who was kind enough to give us a jug of his home brew. I'd had moonshine and other home brews before, but this stuff actually TASTED GREAT.

[Matt L.]

Where do you find those beers Elohim?

[Elohim]

Newcastle can be a tough one to get ahold of! Alot of times the shipping from england can be delayed for months! Usually if I see it at the liquor store I will grab as much as I can carry (or afford). But Im pretty sure it would be relatively easy to find in calgary or edmonton. (also, AVOID THE NEWCASTLE WHITE. I REPEAT, AVOID THE NEWCASTLE WHITE...DARK ONLY!)

Smithwicks is pretty easy to get ahold of...just head down to your local liquor store and see about getting them to order you a case if they dont already have some.

And if I'm not mistaken big rock breweries is in alberta, so there should be absolutely no problem finding some McNally's.

[Shmag]

Don't think it's been mentioned yet, which is good.... more for me
CROWN ROYAL....ahhh just like momma's milk to a kid!!!!

CHEERS EVERYONE....to the big one that never got away

[mooseknuckle]

Cold beer during the summer.

Lamb's Amber Rum or Lemon Heart.

Love Captain Morgan Spiced Rum but just tried Captain Mortgages Special stock. Think I might have a new favorite:love:

Thought I was the only one!! Lemon Heart all the way. Cheap beer. shroomies.

[big zeke]

If we're adding beer into the mix...there is something I had called Leffe, it's from Belgium and it is probably the smoothest I've ever had. In Europe they sell it in gas stations in litre sized bottles.

On a business trip last yr, at 11 euros a bottle (~$17 CAD), it took the better part of my boss's credit card to drink the bar out of it.

It seems you can't get a hangover from it. Another nice side effect.
Zeke

[9mikemike]

Captain Morgan Private Reserve or Spiced, Killkenny (lately), Kokannee, Lemon Hart

and the most important


GUNPOWDER :evilgrin:

[Grizzly Adams]

Big Rock Grasshopper, when it's hot. Highwood whiskey with a little water. Right up there with Crown Royal, but considerable cheaper. I see somebody likes Jaegermeister.:lol: Not so long ago, you could buy it as stomach bitters for about half the price, at your favorite European Deli.
Grizz

[jaylow?]

beers!

my go to beer is pilsner ( lived with 3 guys from saskatchewan in school )
i love , keiths , stella artois , big rock traditional , steam whistle , kilkenny and innus and gunn.

when i was in high school it was the cheapest garbage found. black ice , big bear and olde english .....wild cat extra strong!!!:sick:

not too much of a booze hound, i bartended for extra money for awhile

[bobjoe]

Well I will go deeper into the beer discussion I also like to get into Asahi beer. It is a Jap beer but it is good. About $25-$30 for six depending oh where you find it.

[wheeler]

Labatt Blue.

[Off in the Bushes]

Will I see that there are alot fo rye drinkers on here and there is a new canadian rye on the market called Danfields Private Reserve and it is a great rye, plus it is made right here in Alberta. I have converted some die hard Crown Royal and Gibsons Finest drinkers.
It is a seriously smooth rye, trust me, you will not be disappointed with it.

[DarkAisling]

Wiser's Deluxe and Gibson's Finest (another rye drinker) are my standard poisons. I'm also a big fan of craft beer and of apple cider (particularly Strongbow).

Can't seem to drink anymore though . . . haven't been able to get down a full beverage in the last month without KILLER heartburn.

[dubbya]

smooth, cold, PILSNER.

[Joe Fehr]

Budwieser top of the list then any fine beer from there. A good whiskey is hard to beat Gentlemen Jack is just about to die for if you can find it.

[wolfriver]

wisers or almost anything wet

[jaylow?]

i love strongbow in a crown float ( guinness floated on top of apple cider) its a friggen expensive pint though

[jaygjf]

Jagermeister straight cold or on ice, Mixed with coke is good too!
I like my Rye and my spiced rum...I also like white, amber and dark rum ...favorite amber rum came from the dominican Ron Barcelo imperial!!...I also like red wine and beer and on those bad nights a fine tequilla........I suppose I just like to drink lol:innocent::evilgrin:

Try Jager and Root Beer

[jaygjf]

I like anything in the rye or bourbon family. I've tried really hard to get into scotch but it tastes like you're sucking on the barrel :sick: There are some really good high end ryes that no one seems to know about though.

[oldgutpile]

pretty much any rot-gut scotch, and usually bastardized with a shot of drambuie.
Lemonhart is great when I have to stoop to rum, and crown royal is still my "go-to" in the world of rye.
In the heat of summer, when its time for a cool one, pretty much any of the dark beers or ales (traditional, rickerts,etc).

[Douglas N]

White rum caesars are the best!!!!

[Redfrog]

Still makes me cringe when I see the g/f doing shots of $100 tequila though :(


I've been drinking Tequila for 40 years, never had any that i thought tasted like boat gas, but then I haven't been drinking boat gas for very long.:lol:

I have tried several different kinds, and I guess the reason we have a choice is because everyone's palette is different. i don't care for Patron or any of the other "expensive" products. I like Cuervo Gold on ice or as a shot.
I also really like it when i can buy it for $12.50 in the U.S. instead of $40 here
I don't like mixed drinks.
A friend of mine gave me a bottle of Mescal one time. He had picked it up in Mexico for a couple dollars and it was in a dark green plastic bottle. It was excellent.

I also like Yukon Jack on ice.

I do not like mixed drinks, but a good summer drink is Tequila/Yukon Jack and orange juice or Five alive tropical. Lots of ice.

I also like Alberta springs whiskey or Jack Daniels. Irish Mist on a hunting trip or Drambuie works well.

[DarkAisling]

i love strongbow in a crown float ( guinness floated on top of apple cider) its a friggen expensive pint though

I've GOT to try one of those! Perhaps the Joyce here downtown will be able to serve them up :)

Have to bring a whole bottle of "Tums" with me, though.

[dcutter]

Jack or Jim with a squirt of water.

[sinawalli]

Has anyone tried the real absinthe?

With the oil of wormwood and "thujone" I believe its called.

Just curious to what its like, and no I don't have a desire to make crazy paintings or slice my left ear off.

Yup, tried the Czech stuff, and it tasted like floor cleaner!:sick: Nice buzz though!! No matter what you mixed it with it was still aweful!

[unclebuck]

Kokanee, it is the "high protein" beer, because Trudeau's son is still at the bottom of the lake. Every time I p, it gives me great pleasure to see a part of Trudeau going down the sewer where he belonged.

Quick lesson on Tequila there is NO difference between silver and gold tequila...it's marketing and caramel color thats it. The only way tequila should have color is from aging in oak barrels, repasado ( rested in oak ) or anejo ( aged in oak )

I have to chime in here:)

I can't drink more than a couple of beers in one sitting, I am allergic to something in it:sick:. But whan I do I enjoy a cool bottle of STANDARD imported from Manitoba..:D

But my posion of choice and can keep down:sick: is Whisky, I have in the fridge now a bottle of Canadian Club, good ole bottle of 83, and when I am feeling a little frisky I pull out the bottle of 40 creek.

I think it should be easy to find if not ask them to bring it in and the store will not be dissappointed. It is 10 years and they also make a 21 but it is rare to find.

A baby seal walks into a bar, and the barkeeper says, "What will you have?". The baby seal goes, "Anything but a Canadian Club".

badabumbump. I never said it was a good joke

[deadman]

you're all making me thirsty and its only 8:00 am. can't even enjoy my coffee anymore. capn morgan is pretty good but he beats the s#!t out of me every time we get together. sailor jerry is my new fave for rum, we get along fine. any of the bacardi family is pretty user-friendly, but my wife doesn't like it so it kinda got phased out. beers: moosehead, boh, pil, in that order. they are all just like a sore dick; you can't beat em;)

[bobcatguy]

Black Label , you 're right BBJ it is a cheap beer Best part is most of my friends don't like it. If I leave some after darts it'll still be there waiting.
Keiths is 2nd only because of price ,almost twice as much Hard fav is luxerio 7year old no mix required. I think you have to go to Cuba to get it tho. lambs amber with coke is my go to for the hard stuff

[Kanonfodder]

If you are meaning Lengendario its available here in E dot I have seen it in numerous stores. Also for you rum drinkers try Matusalem 15 , Zaya or Diplomatico 25yr these are ultra premium rums and run from $50-75 no mix required.....
