What are you Drinking?

[Threviel]

Carnegie porter. A Swedish Scandinavian porter. Reputedly the only Swedish beer exported for it's taste and n my opinion the best Swedish beer.

Are you in Sweden at the moment? I can give you lots of pointers... Oppigårds, and some other smaller ones.

If you like Carnegie, the Danes have a similar: Limfjords porter, also a bottom fermented semi-baltic style porter.

I am a swede and I have tested a good few of the swedish porters, I also have two Limfjords in the freezer but haven't tasted them yet. I like porters with less "beska" (don't know the english word.

What's the verdict here on Tequila?  Anyone like sipping Patron or something similar?

Even though it's not exactly tequila, I like to sip on Monte Alban mezcal.  With a delicious chaser of sangrita (basically tomato juice, orange juice, and lime juice with some spicy head) .

The price is good, the bottle aesthetics are nice, and IMHO the taste is superior to similarly priced tequilas.  Oh, and there's the guisano at the bottom if you are entertaining.

EDIT: I've also noticed a sort of fad for bars featuring high-end tequilas.  Maybe if you can find one of those you could try a bunch without investing in a whole bottle.

I don't know how tequila has gotten such a bad rap.  Shitty tequila is gross, but not worse than shitty gin or rum.  I guess it just that most people only drink it as shots when they're young, whereas you can easily concoct cheap rum-and-Cokes at the same age...

I would think that drinking shots would induce less hangovers than mixed drinks.  It's a lot harder to overconsume alcoholic beverages when they're pure and not mixed, especially if the pure beverage is hard to stomach.

I usually loathe Tequila. A friend of mine brought a bottle from Mexico that was great, though. Can't remember the name ...

[DGuller]

Can't remember the name ...

Seems to be a common thing.  I wonder if that's one of the side effects...

Oppigårds Starkporter is a good one, with the flavor from the smoked malt marrying well with a sweet malty palate.

Also - I like Slottskällan Imperial Stout. Great both fresh and after a year or two.

Limfjords wasn't excactly similar to Carnegie. Sure, they are both dark beers and named porter but the similarity ends there. Disappointed.

Hmmm, what other beers are drinkable to you? I guess we have different tastes here.

[Scipio]

Buffalo Trace White Dog Rye Mash.

Wow.  Cask Strength moonshine.  Delish.

But it has a bouquet like an aborigine's armpit.

Other side effects include profuse bleeding from the anus and Disappearing Kidney Syndrome (DKS).

Oh that can happen to anyone, darling.

Beam Brands (Princesca's employer) gave away 'grab bags' of product on Friday.  I now literally have gallons and gallons of Jim Beam, Knob Creek, some rye stuff they make, and a bunch of Puerto Rican rum.

I think I'm going to start using bourbon as mouthwash and as lighter fluid for the grill.

Buffalo Trace

I think that's the only Kentucky distillery I've still not been to.
