Alcohol Snobbery

Hi five man

tullamore dew

i absolutly refuse to drink ordinary whiskey... jack daniels makes me wanna

Single malt scotches of every kind -- I don't think I have yet had one I didn't like. Macallan's and the Islay malts are my favorites, and I drink Glenlivet on a regular basis.

I like good wine, although I am hardly a snob about it. I prefer hearty reds. I am also partial to mead. My favorite producer is a grey market producer called Griffin. All the commercial ones I've had were ass.

I prefer cider to beer most of the time, and my favorite cider is Wyder's, especially their rasberry and pear flavors.

Makers on the rockks or tanquray ten!!

Green chartreuse (and just about any drink containing it) is as far as I go with the hard stuff...

I'm more picky about beer and ale. I looooooove snakebite (+ black, or not if no blackcurrant juice is available), Theakson's Old Peculiar ale, Spaten lager, White Diamond cider, Newcastle brown ale, Warsteiner lager, and Molson Dry lager (which is *really* difficult to find outside of Canada, in my experience).

Oddly enough, though, I can't stand the taste of Guiness. I think that makes me a heretic.

There's nothing snobby anout beer, unless it comes in a bottle wtf is that all about?

Beer: Creemore Springs Lager

Vodka: Moskovskaya

Gin: Bombay Sapphire

Single
Malt: Talisker

Blend: Ballantines

Whenever you're in the neighbourhood mate!
But it'd better be 1990 Krug and '82 Chateau d'Yquem...I'm an alcohol snob...

Tanqueray Ten. its really the only bottle ive ever bought

yea.. Sapphire does it for me...
As for beer... I dont really care as long as it dont taste like crap and its Dark.. Which leave few available....

3vodka martini... straight, up, with a cuke slice....now that's the business!!!

I have two questions here:

What's the difference between the green and the yellow? A friend of mine claims chartreuse separates the men from the boys, but it really isn't as intense as, say, straight absinthe.

Is there something peculiar about these two, like you have to drink them with a slice of lemon, or at a certain temperature? I've bought cases of both and later thought, well, that's $2X USD spent unwisely. Warsteiner seems like the Bud of German beers to me, but it's popular even at my local biergarten, so there must be something good about it that I'm missing.

Green is 110 proof, yellow is 80 proof. Apart from the colour, there isn't much else to differentiate them. Yellow has a slightly milder, slightly sweeter flavour than green, and it's usually sipped straight as opposed to mixed with other stuff. You can generally do a lot more, as far as mixers go, with the green stuff.

Not as such, no. I just like them a lot. I usually get them on tap. Spaten, I like because it's one of the smoothest beers I've had, and Warsteiner is just a good average German brew. I always considered stuff like Beck's or Shiner Bock to be the Budweiser of Germany. Hmm. The only really distinctive thing I can think of about either of them is that they both go really well with spicy food.

*sigh* The little people are so lowbrow... 12 year old whiskey... maybe if I was living on the streets, but that'll never happen, will it? No, don't think; allow me to answer for you: no, it won't. If it's a common brand such as *chin lifts a little* Jack Daniel's and you paid alot for it... it's because they held onto the same whiskey for a little longer. Like Granda' always said; don't pay for age, pay for quality. Basil Hayden? Oh, please. Perhaps if I were living out of my Rolls. If you've heard of it, I don't drink it. If you can get it at the store, why would I waste my money on it? I'd drink only the finest 'cept I havn't earned a dime in several months. Or were it years? Thank god for Padder's foresight with my trustfund. Now excuse me; I must be off to the gala.

I love those imported Beers with the widget inside the can - they usually are 5% or lower - very smooth....they cost more than Heineken or Beck's and are mainly British.....True Ales!

*not believing his luck*

Only brand meths, none of that generic crap, and strong purple, not weak ass violet.

hah, i used to work at a dazzling upscale wine/spirts place in a snobby part of town so i've got you all beat. i took everything from a 1/2 keg of sierra neveda christmas ale(retail: $165) to grey goose fifths(retail: $35) out the back door.

high class, beer: alagash white/sierra neveda pale ale liquor: knob creek/bombay dry gin

day before pay day: pbr in cans/old crow.

eat it, kids.

with you on the makers mark... but i'll take it any way it's given.... fuckin BOMBAY gin all the way though

Bombay or Tanqueray or Beefeater - those are the esteemed 3.....mix with Fresca or Grapefruit soda and lime + ice = wicked........

I am an alcohol snob. I will only drink wine from the third world or former second world - I piss on California wine. I will not drink Miller or Bud light or anything lighter than an Ale (unless it is Japanese). If it isn't dark or yeasty enough to hurt the average person it doesn't interest me.

Magic Hat #9, Dewars.... mmmm

Good whiskey. Jack and Jim are allright mixed, but are shit for straight shooting. Maker's Mark or Irish Whiskey, particularly Bushmills Malt. Good Bourbon is still my favorite though.
and red Italian wines.
but I'll drink most things....if it's cheap I'll just mix it with something. not much of a beer drinker.

Bombay Sapphire makes me wet
