MeHT Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 Piraat is a "living beer", right? Good choice, those are the best! I have a local no-name microbrewery here that makes them, not as good as belgian or german counterparts though.Mojito, Hemingways' favorite drink? Respect it for that, at least!

BrotherBuford Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 A "living beer" is any unpasturized unfiltered bottle-conditioned beer. That meaning it is carbonated in the bottle by either krausening (adding young beer) or by adding a sugar solution that gets converted to CO2 by the yeast in the beer. It doesn't necessarily have to be bottle-conditioned to have live yeast in it, but it absolutely has to be unfiltered and unpasteurized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaypourus Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I stopped drinking in Sept. because the liter of liquor a night habit was expensive and spiralling in a direction I didn't like. I decided to stop before it became a problem. Haven't had a drink since. That being said...Beer- I'm allegic to hops, which means beer and hops containing malt liquors make me VIOLENTLY ill. Even a bit of beer left in the bottom of a beer bong glass is enough to make me feel bad.Wine - I live in the biggest wine producing region of the east. I used to enjoy a nice Cabernet, Noir (mixed dry red), Tramminette, dry blush, and of course the ever awesome genetically created Noiret. The oriental wines are also awesome (sake, plum, rice, etc).Ciders - Often my drink of choice. Woodchuck, Woodpecker, Hornsby's, Strongbow...they are all good.Liquor - Vodka, Rum/Spiced Rum, Tequila, Whiskey/Scotch/Bourbon, and some liquors are all good. I very much dislike gins, So-Co, ice 101, and a lot of that specialty fruity liquor crap.Mixed Drinks - Used to live off of Captain & Cokes as well as Vodka & Cranberrys. You think vodka & cranberry is a sissy drink? You'll change your mind after I make you a few.... Right now though, I'm having a watered down pink grapefruit juice. It's delicious and high in Vitamin C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go with cider as my poison of choice if I couldn't drink beer, problem is I haven't found a good one and I've tried all of the aforementioned ciders and then some. We used to make hard cider back home that probably didn't have as much alcohol but it's what I expcect cider to taste like and the difference between our homemade stuff growing up and the stuff that often passes for cider is apples and oranges. I need to just get a cider press I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaypourus Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I've tasted beer...and in fact in college, I drank a lot of beer. My allergy progressed quickly though...within 5 days of my first beer a single sip would make me vomit and get a sore throat within 5 minutes. What I do know is that Busch is really bad, Labatt is tolerable, Heineken is alright, and Sam Adams is pretty damn good. Corona tastes like piss, but hear it always does without a lime in it. Funny that the beer I liked the most is also the beer with the most hops.I tried making some hard cider once...after it turned it went sour and we couldn't drink it at all. I blew like $40 in press pressed cider too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxik916 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Gin and tonic made with tangureay rangpur, Jager, Goldschlager, and any top shelf tequila except cabo wabo that shit is nasty. I'm not a big beer drinker I usually drink that inbetween shots or during drinking games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
