I loved guinness a lot more back in college.
Nowadays the only suitable way to drink it is from the tap -

I used to be all about IPAs, Ranger was my fav even though it's not considered a stellar example. I'd had Guinness a few times over the years, but didn't find anything particularly special about it as dark beer goes. But I was gifted a 12 pack set to the task of slamming them (did I mention I'm a Barbarian). I woke the next morning with barely a hangover, which was weird. But then the really profound thing hit me, my stomach was fine.Originally posted by 6-eyed View Post
For years beer gave me gut issues. Probiotics and other holistic Voodoo were useless, so I relied on Zantac. Scotch doesn't give me gut problems either, but I discovered that Whiskey Dick is a real thing and quit liquor altogether. Guinness is the only beer that has been this good to my innards.Comment

I can imagine, though I don't care to. When I was a sailor I got all kinds of propositions, even a few from women!Originally posted by Undies View Post

Gargling the Keilbasa
Honking on Bobo
Throatin a Mean Weenie
Gobbling the Goo

In my college days my friends and I drank tons of this:
In my 30s I moved on to Budweiser, then later on to whatever was on sale. The thing about being an alcoholic is, unless you make a lot more money than I do, you can never afford the good stuff very often. I can drink about 10-12 beers a day throughout the week, probably more like 16-18 a day on weekends. The trick to drinking that much is to stop eating and stop paying bills. I've been on the wagon all year but if I had my choice I'd be drinking Henry Weinhard's dark every day.

Usually the summer time is my beer season--but I haven't been in to it as much as I have in the past. I love a good sour, saison, or farmhouse beer though. And anything Belgian!Comment

My Dad was a world class high-functioning alcoholic. The man had everyone fooled utterly. He went to work daily and obviously did a good job since they built everything he designed. I was never able to do that with any kind of alcohol. I can drink and have been drunk many times, but I get punishing hangovers unless I drink a lot of water while I'm on a bender. I usually can't drink for a week after that sort of thing.Originally posted by tumbling.dice View PostIn my college days my friends and I drank tons of this:

So alcohol never became a problem that called me to the races. Nope, that was the effect speed had on me. I could do meth all day and night for weeks at a time. I managed to beat meth in the 80s, by joining the crack epidemic. These days an energy drink gives me chest pains. Hard drugs went away in 1995 and I've avoided them since.Comment

I've got a couple of Dales Pale Ales waiting for me to get home. I love them but every time I look at the can all I can hear is Hank Hills voice in my head going, "DANG IT DALE!"

Hello there fellow beer drinkers (and more).
I missed out on mentioning what I was drinking last night, because I'd already finished by the time I signed up here.
So, for the record, last night I drank:
Aurora Bullrealis (brewed by Bolero Snort)
- Mango and citrus up front, with some pepper notes. Then soft, dry, dank hops fade in along with a bit of pine as the whole thing fades out.
Star Gazer (Connecticut Valley)
- Sweet lemon/lime citrus with a stone fruit afterthought, that itself is daydreaming about dry pine notes.
Cosmic Handshake (Sixpoint and Victory collaboration)
- Nectarine with a distant touch of mango. Paltry pine permutations. All wrapped up in a pleasantly puckered package.

Future reviews will come with pics and more info and whatever.
Which reminds me, are y'all ok with NSFW pics in this thread?
Obviously I don't mean hard core porn, just like nude shots that are sometimes full body.
(I tend to match up either a nude or SFW pic with each beer I drink.)
(I don't know. I started doing it a long time ago and now it's just part of my review ritual.)Comment
