Yes, another alcohol thread.

[CrazyAnglican]

I noticed we had some discerning palates among us and was curious. I know its been done, but I wanted to give more general terms and see the results. As I'm not truly a liquor drinker, or at least I don't remember much about those days, I've left them out for the purposes of this poll.

My personal choice is ale. I had to develop a taste for lagers and stouts over time, but ales have always had a smooth taste that I enjoy.

[luns101]

For me it would be the dark lagers, my friend. Really good to see you here, Anglican. The site's not the same without you.

I hope you don't drink an ale before Tae-Kwon-Do class!

[neoni]

i voted red wine but if it's a good ale i'd prefer that

No, alcohol and martial arts are two great things that certainly do not go great together.

[CrazyAnglican]

Okay let's hear it. Who voted for mead?

lager.

[cenamom]

I say red wine.

[Master Bush]

Stout or lager for me. I drink Guinness most nights. But I love Yuengling Lager. I also enjoy Yuenglings Black & Tan. I sometimes enjoy making my own Black & Tan with Guinness Draught and Bass

My initial response exactly! Who are these mead drinkers??

I voted for cider, but it was a tough choice between it and wheat beer.

[CrazyAnglican]

Ah, I like cider too. My first experience with it I wasn't exactly sure it was alcoholic. Lots of non alcoholic apple cider around these parts. So a good friend and I had quite the surprise as the buzz hit. We spent a good part of that afternoon happily watching the goings and comings of the Renaissance Festival. Quite a few trips back to get more cider as well

Apple Cider = Delicious

If it's nonalcoholic, just spike it with something interesting. Bonus points if your friend does it for you and you have to guess what drug it is!

[RobinJ]

Cider... lovely...

Closely followed by lager and stout

[Anarkistsdream]

Wheat beer for me... There are many wonderful microbreweries that produce some EXCELLENT beverages.

[Koba]

While its nice to see cider so well represented, I'm sure there aren't that many westcountry boys here, and there are only 2 types of people who drink cider. Westcountry folk...and chavs...

And apple cider is just cider (sorry, 1 of my many irrational bugbears, like people who call pasties 'cornish pasties' I think I need to get out more.)

[btownmeggy]

I drink Hornsby's Amber Draft Dry Cider. It's made in Modesto, California.

I like Hornsby's. My first experience was with Woodpecker Cider, so I'm kind of fond of that as well.

[2dimes]

Is mead even available in north america? I'm going to look for some.

The only times I have had it It was homebrewed. Your best bet is a Renaissance Festival, if they have them out there.

[Stopper]

I prefer this thread to the ones asking for favourite brands of lager, beer, etc, because if I'm perfectly honest, I can barely tell the difference between different brands. I wonder if I'd get pilloried for this, but though I can tell lager from ale and cider etc., I'm damned if I can distinguish Grolsch from Carling Black Label. Mind, I've had my fair share of alcohol consumption, so it isn't lack of experience.

I picked red wine in the above. I used to drink exclusively bitter & stout, but I've changed to lager, dry cider and wine. I've no rational reason to offer why, but there it is.

[hecter]

I love red wine. I guess it's the French in me.

[CrazyAnglican]

Thanks It's been interesting. I have to say I'm surprised by Lager being so high (I guess I shouldn't have been), and cider, champaign, and red wine as well. All good drinks though.

[Numia Kereru]

I'm into white wine, probably more than is healthy for any man.
But I also like a cold, crisp ale after a hard day's work... which isn't as often as I like to think lol.

Favourites:

White wine, Villa Maria Cellar Selection Pinot Gris 2005.

or

Ale, any type made under the Monteith's banner here in NZ.

[boogiesadda]

Spaten and Stella Artois by far the two best beers on the market.
