the ruination IPA is very citrusy
i like

I kinda wanna hit up Habana Outpost tonight but I think the skies are going to open up.

Butters · May 2011

There are far too many IPAs on the market now. It's pretty annoying. I swear every other tap is an IPA.

I've drank keystone for about 6 years. I like it, it gets me drunk, and it is cheap. No need to change. For 20 bucks I can get a half gallon of whiskey and some of my friends can have a good time, or for 20 bucks I can get a 30 pack of Keystone, and all of my friends can have a good time.

I'm a big fan of Belgian beers, personally.

Darmak · May 2011

I don't know that I've ever had a Belgian beer but I'd like to try some.

A friend of mine swore up and down Shiner Bock was the greatest thing and as a Texan I owe it to myself to love it too.

I couldn't finish a sip it was so awful.

Yeah, I like Shiner Bock but it's definitely not my favorite beer in the world. I'm really more of an ale person, especially with lots of hops. I love bitter things.

Yeah I figured out I am an ale person too with a bit of a IPA thing going on. I bought some more Arrogant Bastard today along with some Ruination IPA. The tastes of these things reminds me of grapefruit rind which ain't too bad.

Try an Old Rasputin.

Mr. Buttons · May 2011

I heard something about IPAs in here

This is a tasty drink that you should drink (if you drink, and like double IPAs)

Did you just move to Seattle?

Because I fucking swear that is the only thing people seem to drink here.

Dubh · May 2011

IPAs are delicious but I gotta try as many different beers as I can.

That's fine. But it's been popular for a while, and I don't see increasing popularity having any major impact on the price.

Also,

Whiskey: .5 gallon * 128 fluid ounces/1 gallon * 40% ABV =

Keystone Light: 30 cans * 12 fluid ounces/1 can * 4.2% ABV =

Do that math real quick.

Actually I just have zero alcohol tolerance.

Four shots or more and I'd be puking.

Marshmallow · May 2011

This thread still tangentially related to having a taste for alcohol or not?

This is pretty related to that. And interesting too.

Especially starting around 1:25.

i know someone who has to do these calculations for every single new drink they find out about to find the most alcohol per dollar

Tonkka · May 2011

Monkey try and take my drink?

Gonna get knocked out.

Somebody bought me some Maker's Mark for my birthday. Drinking it side-by-side with some barrel select Buffalo Trace. Also, the store I work at just got a selection of experimental barrel pints from BT, but not the stupidly expensive Experimental Collection ones. Huzzah.

BT is my go-to bourbon of choice, but I haven't had any of the barrel select.

The distributor rep that gets the Trace for us picks out a new barrel every 6 months or so. The current one is super-delicious.

Come next week, I'm getting me a bottle of High West Double Rye! as a present for myself. Also, got some awesome mid-priced tequila for margaritas tonight. I heart alcohol. I also love working in a liquor store.

Raijin Quickfoot · May 2011

I bought a bottle of The Kraken for drinking tonight.

Tonkka · May 2011

Now I want to try and knock a monkey out.

Marshmallow · May 2011

Gotta watch out for the ones that are Drunken Masters.

Tonkka · May 2011

Oh good call.

Raijin Quickfoot · May 2011

This Jeremiah Weed Spiked Cola I am currently drinking is quite good.

Penguin Incarnate · May 2011

You know what is delicious? Framboise. Don't drink it on a full moon, though, you'll sprout a vagina.

Clint Eastwood · May 2011

STELLAAAAAAAA

I'm assuming you mean Lindeman's Framboise Lambic? Yeah, that shit is righteous. By far the best purple drank i've ever come across

Tonkka · May 2011

Help me out with a drink, because I come up with names of things before I actually know what they are.

WHISKEY POWER

Seriously! I don't understand it. I'm not too picky with beer nowadays, but I always feel that way when try to avoid getting a pitcher of IPA.

I'm quite fond of red and amber ales.

I have some Kraken that I might be drinking tonight (we'll see how the night goes)
Tastes soooo good in my diet pepsi <3

I'm thinking whiskey and red bull with something to make it taste a little less awful

Druhim · May 2011

also, pale ales are very common in Seattle because pale ales are very popular in Seattle
that's really all their is to it
lotta hop heads here

there are still plenty of other beers people drink
it ain't like you're going to find five taps with pale ale and then one tap with bud light

Whiskey + Gin + Gatorade + Red Bull + Grenadine + dash of bitters

smof · May 2011

I am drinking a nightcap of Baileys on ice and it is so delicious it barely even registers as booze. This is booze for children, really.

Oh god there is vomit all over my keyboard.

Mortal Sky · May 2011

I need to try the Kraken.

My favorite cocktail ever is a Green Alaska.
3 parts Gin
1 part Chartreuse
1 part Orange Bitters
Shaken. Drink out of a cocktail glass.
It's probably the strongest thing I've ever had, mainly because the 140 proof Absinthe I drank was diluted (because absinthe is not something you want to drink straight. Ever.)

skettios · May 2011

Is there a good whiskey greater than 80proof? If so, use a high proof one for Whiskey Power

I like pale ales, just not IPAs

Druhim · May 2011

I meant IPAs

skettios · May 2011

aah ok

Tonkka · May 2011

I have had people come in and look disappointed that we only have one IPA on tap.

Fortunately it's the Hale's Supergoose and it's really god damned good.
