Taste buds and alcohol question.

Tonkka · May 2011

Yep.

spono · May 2011

what's the deal with George Dickel whiskey?

the label is almost identical to jack daniel's

I saw a bottle at the store the other day and thought it was a joke

Mortal Sky · May 2011

I really don't know anything about beer at all. Someone enlighten me. Because all I know is that Asahi Super Dry is pretty alright, and Blue Moon is tasty stuff.

EDIT: Also I had some Guinness once and it was awesome but chronically overrated

Tonkka · May 2011

I think you have it figured out pretty well.

Dark beer is better than light beer. Blonde beer makes me gag.

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.

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.

let's see... That's plus... times... devided... I don't get it.

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

Did you just move to Seattle?

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

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.

IPA is grooooooossssss

Maybe you drank super sweet drinks your whole life.

I mostly drank water. Juice once in a while.

Imperial Russian is about the only type of beer I've ever tasted that I didn't care to have another pint of. That shit was for dudes who've been poisoned, strangled, shot, stabbed, and drowned.

Well, as long as you think you're getting more bang for your buck, I'm sure the folks at Coors will be happy.

The saddest part is the Keystone has addled his brain so much he thinks there is a plus sign there.

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.

this sounds like gross hyperbole, but i'm sorry anyway.

also, tonkka, i'm starting to train behind the bar tonight!!!

Raijin Quickfoot · May 2011

The Kraken was a success and is now my favorite rum.

I think its also an acquired taste thing, I don't like beer, and I can opt for the sweeter drinks, but I bet if I kept at it and tried I wouldn't find beer so bad tasting. The same for coffee.

Raijin Quickfoot · May 2011

I don't drink a lot of rum. I'm more of a bourbon drinker.

Dead Legend · May 2011

rum is good stuff

like i remember for a while i was promoting sailor jerry very hard, cause it's $20 a handle for a decent cherry spiced rum

and by decent i mean it's better than admiral nelson, captain morgan, and i'd probably rank it higher than kraken.

mount gay is a good rum, and if i remember right i enjoyed pyrat (it's fancier)

he clearly was referring to devision

I definitely think he's right, I was just saying I didn't drink a lot of sweet stuff as a kid.

Don't plan on letting my kids drink much of it either.

Dorktron9000 · May 2011

Nobody enjoyed their first shot or beer or cup of coffee or cigarette

Welcome to acquired taste, population cry about it why don't you

Peccavi · May 2011

I enjoyed my first beer

Dorktron9000 · May 2011

well it looks like you win

Keith · May 2011

I enjoyed his first beer.

Dead Legend · May 2011

you know how i know i can respect a man's opinions?

not what his favorite beer is, or his favorite liquor, but if he believes that the best lynyrd skynyrd song is the ballad of curtis loew

I think I enjoy Kraken a bit more, but as you said before, that might just be because of the bottle haha
My other rum of choice is sailor jerry. I can't go back to morgan or nelson now.

I couldn't stand coffee until this year, started drinking weak mochas for a caffeine hit + warmth over winter, and now I can happily drink black coffee.

Basically we need to identify the mocha of beers.

So a beer that only barely tastes like beer? Mic Ultra I suppose.

I don't think a porter is a good suggestion for people that haven't acquired a taste for beer yet.

I've had most luck getting non-beer-people into beer with either witbiers or sweeter brown ales
