What have you been drinking lately?

[Terrasco]

Many people feel that way, I say drink it how you like it.



A nice wheat beer with a lemon or orange is good. However, I like when I don't have to do that. My fave wheat, Troegs Dreamweaver.

Lindemann and Melbourne make some great dessert beers.

 

[caudio51]

Oh sure. Framboise is fantastic

 

[kirscovitch]

lately its been Blue Moon. a wheat beer with a hint of citrus. very tasty with an orange slice.

I seem to act differently when I drink the hard stuff too

Can't drink bourbon or real rye whiskey due to a taste aversion from the side effects of an over-indulgence back in college (almost 40 years ago!). I generally drink Sapphire or Boodle's martinis (without vermouth, so it's really chilled gin) or any variety of Bushmill's with water and no ice. Also, premium vodka martinis (Absolut, Grey Goose, etc.) will work fine for me. I used to drink a lot of Scotch, but somehow over the years Irish has tended to take its place.

For a change of pace, I also like some of the amber rums, particularly Appleton's from Jamaica, with water and no ice.

Been drinking alot of wine lately.

Had some good pairings of melbacs and cabs with drier, cedary cigars.

Plus a flask of my old standby, Oban, for a couple of the football games.

Beer-wise, I've mostly been working on the last of the Alaskan Brewing Company's Summer Ale that I have on hand. However, it's that time of year...time for their Winter Ale. Love the stuff.

On the wine front, I'm waiting on shipment of my latest selection from Chateau Ste. Michelle's Vintage Reserve Club. Of the fall selections, the 2003 Canoe Ridge Estate Syrah was nice but suffered by comparison to the 2005 Horse Heaven Vineyard Chenin Blanc. I've also been eyeballing our lone bottle of 1993 Late Harvest Semillon from a hole-in-the-wall Washington winery, Blackwood Canyon Vintners, which will be one of our holiday treats. Of course, with this being the holiday season, we also we occasionally like to have a hot cup of Glühwein.

Speaking of Christmas "spirits", I'm still nursing the last quarter of a bottle of Lagavulin 16 and I'm halfway through a bottle of Bowmore 12. On the recommendation of a co-worker, I'm getting my feet wet in bourbon with a newly-opened bottle of Maker's Mark. I never had the taste for bourbon before but I must say, this is pleasant stuff.

Balvenie Doublewood 12 Year Old, Portwood 21 Year Old and then there is Gentleman Jack which is what I always go back to.

 

[PetersCreek]

I polished off a bottle of the Doublewood not long ago. What'd you think of it?

 

[avid toker]

Winter ales, winter ales and more winter ales :bottle:

 

[jmatkins]

I liked the Doublewood very much

 

[Fresh50]

I been stickin to the go-to's for beer, Yuengling Porter, Moretti La Rossa (doppio malto) and Spatten Optimator. Oh and Milwaukee's BEAST in the chili and brats!

As for heavier things I picked up this gift set at the class 6 for $27
I like it alot better than my :bangbang: Famous Grouse:tazerblas :

 

[Séamas]

[ATCDub]

Christmas party last night I enjoyed some Don Eduardo Anjeo tequila. Very tasty indeed.

 

[michaelbrehm]

Lately been drinking Absolute Vodka Martini with just a little vermouth when at home

Miller Lite when hanging out with my friends as that is the common beer of choice

 

[Hoodere]

Mostly the free stuff. Gawwd,-- how I love this time of year.:grin:

 

[UFGators]

Black maple hill 16yr bourbon, and coors light of course.

 

[caudio51]

Winter ales, winter ales and more winter ales :bottle:

Ditto!

 

[MadAl]

Laid in the winter supply of liquor, JWGreen, Balvenie Doublewood, Bowmore Darkest, Sapphire, still could use a bottle of bourbon
