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.

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!

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.

I say red wine.

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.

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 :wink:

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!

Cider... lovely...

Closely followed by lager and stout :wink:

Anarkistsdream · Post by **Anarkistsdream** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 3:36 pm

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

Koba · Post by **Koba** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 3:44 pm

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... :shock:

And apple cider is just cider (sorry, 1 of my many irrational bugbears, like people who call pasties 'cornish pasties' :evil:

I think I need to get out more.)

btownmeggy · Post by **btownmeggy** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 5:27 pm

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.

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.

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 · Post by **hecter** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 6:35 pm

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

CrazyAnglican · Post by **CrazyAnglican** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 6:47 pm

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 · Post by **Numia Kereru** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 9:39 pm

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 · Post by **boogiesadda** » Mon Mar 26, 2007 7:13 pm

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

Yes, another alcohol thread.

Favorite type of alcohol (non distilled)
