Although the guy at the counter was telling me about a new brand of vodka made in Texas, called Tito's. Think I might pick up a bottle of that next time I get paid, just to add to the bar.

Tito's may be new for you, but its been around here for years.

We Arkansans take awhile to care about anything that comes from Texas. :thumbsdown:

Anyway, after drinking four rum and cokes (heavy on the rum), and capping my night off with another Italian beer, I'm changing my verdict to delicious. Peroni perfectly complements a hot, humid night out on the porch with a hookah and a good book. BarristerBoy, you, sir, are Canadian and therefore a fraud, and naturally know nothing about how good beer should taste. Good day, and VIVA ITALIA.

Good.  We don't want our glorious culture desecrated by the redneck hillbilly hands of Arkansans.

Yesterday a few beers.

If you should ever find yourself in Romania, take care to find Silva Black - it is the only remotely good beer there is. It's dark brown in colour, taste is dominated by sweetness from (Munchener?) malt and some burnt notes from the chocolate malt. A bit heavy on the alcohol, and you feel it, 7%, but it mixes well with the other flavours. Best served at a little warmer than fridge temperature.

There are some OKish beers here, but I think it's pretty much a wine-country.

Peroni is just the water they use to clean the tanks after making real beer.

Fireblade - you should try Liberty Ale from San Francisco at your porch-sitting sessions. Lots of lemon from the hops, but not too hoppy to offer refreshment.

'Mort Subite' (i.e. 'Sudden Death') belgian beer...  Raspberry beer! Good for a change, exotic, etc., but far too acid for my taste. And a Murphy's Irish stout.

Just put a 6er of Southern Tier Imperial Pumpking on tap at work.  If you like pumpkin beers, try to track this stuff down.  It's probably one of the best ones I've had.  Soon to be tried:  Spaten Oktoberfest.  Mmm mmm. :mmm:

Spaten Oktoberfest is one of the best märtzen I've tried.

Do you work in a bar? A good bar that has good beer? :D

We're kind of small compared to some beer bars I've been to, but we have 12 beers on tap and about 80 or so different types of bottled beer.

You can't have much more than that and still serve fresh beer from the tap, IMO.

Actually I did find one good Italian beer - Forst.  But then again it is from the German-speaking part of Italy, and beer is one of the few things the Germans can do well when it comes to food.

Moretti La Rossa is an excellent beer as well.

Yes, you absolutely can if you have enough customers.  One of my local spots has 60 beers on draft.  Anything that is past its recommended date gets heavily discounted on the weekends so they get rid of it pretty quickly.  You Euros may not believe it, but a system like that works if managed properly.

This weekend was brought to you by Newcastle Brown Ale, which has about as crappy a website as a business can.  Heavenly stuff.  Fuck all you IPA hop guys.

I like Newkie and IPA :hug:

This weekend I had some delicious Amber from this place, which is about 2 miles from my house: 

Their stout is out of this f*cking world.  Can't find a growler of it anywhere now, though  :(
