Beer, wine, spirits

Postby Elwher » Thu Nov 28, 2024 9:54 am

Given the interest in beers in a previous thread and the lack of a current thread on the subject, I introduce this.

What are people's favorite beverages? Beer, wine, or liquor?

Personally, I prefer a good brandy, like St. Remy XO, or a rye whiskey in the evening, and a full-bodied red wine with dinner.

I mostly drink beer (or sometimes cider) when I'm at the pub or buying cans and hanging out with friends, sometimes have wine with/after supper (especially at restaurants), and quite like a bottle of fizz on special occasions. I generally stay off sprits though.

I usually drink some kind of craft beer, though in keeping with the stereotypes I do also drink Guinness pretty often. I'll drink wine or spirits as well, but not often enough to have very strong preferences.

The cream one? I didn’t care for it.
You need the right kind of whiskey for the other one. Of course I have forgotten the brand used at the time…..

Beer tastes likes cat piss.

Craft beer enthusiasts be like "This small batch was made with hops grown in the fields of Themyscira tended to by the Amazons themselves, mixed with water sourced from the waterfalls of Valhalla and ancient yeast obtained from artic core samples dating back 6.5 million years and then left to ferment in a hyperbolic time chamber" and it'll still taste like shit...

Cider and spirits for me please. I have to be feeling fancy for wine, which is rare.

Ah, but you see it's supposed to taste like shit. It's also 19% ABV and when you drink it you can see the moment of your own death.

Some wine actually does taste like cat piss. As in, scientists have identified a chemical in common between some wines and literal cat urine.

Cat piss? Oh you mean big name American beer?

The smaller breweries are improving that. Not always the case, still I do find a few interesting ones from time to time.

Cider? Meh. Was tad too much of a fad. Tried a few and wasn’t that memerable.

Spirits? Goes through phases. doing the gin thing, chocolate martinis and wrapped up dark manhatans….

If they were then I'd expect vintners would be breeding cats and giving them specialised diets to produce the perfect flavour of urine.
