Beer, Who Drinks And Wot?

My beer of choice is Heileman's Special Export, brewed by the G. Heileman Brewing Company (of Old Style fame), LaCrosse, WI. I started drinking it in my college days and have continued for fifty years. The brand has changed hands several times and is now brewed by Miller Brewing Co. in Milwaukee, WI. which I understand is owned by

For hard liquor, I prefer Korbels XS brandy, straight up. A good sippin' brandy.

Wine puts me to sleep.

At present my favorite is Leinenkugel's Honey Weiss. It's generally considered to be a summer beer, but I like it anytime. I also like Grain Belt Nordeast. I've never been much of one for liquor, beer suits me just fine.

Back in my younger days we used to have what we called a 'whopper tooley' or what many referred to as a 'garbage can party'. For those who have not heard the term, it went like this: A couple of clean five gallon buckets (or a nice, new, clean garbage can) would be obtained. Each guest would bring along what ever type of booze they wished, and it would get dumped out into the garbage can or buckets and it would all get mixed together. When you wanted a drink, you ladled some of the 'mix' from the can into your glass, add ice and your favorite mixer. Amazingly it usually turned out pretty good, but sometimes not so much. :drink:
 
I have never had many Leiney's.

It probably has to do with the an incident involving it. My first professional job was as an analytical chemist for Ray o Vac. I started on New Years Eve in 1969. There was a young woman working there as a technician. When I came back to work,she wasn't there nor did she come back to work afterwards. We later found out that she had been drinking Leiney's and popping Darvon on New Years eve and woke up two days later in St. Louis married to her fiance's brother.

That seemed like a good reason to avoid the brew.

Ditto AND blotto sometimes as well.
 
For casual... Heineken...
For the end of a hot day... Bud Light Lime... less salt, less fat.
I keep a case of Corona in the 2nd fridge... when the Hispanic crew finishes a system change, sometimes I bring them to my home to finish out the day... yard work, wash cars, etc...
Always give them a cold one and chat a bit (they are all legal and speak English).
At parties... Capt Morgan and coke... sparingly... :)
 
Favorite beer? That would be 'Another, please.' :) Just take a closer look at my avatar.

Actually Guinness draft and stout are my favorites, followed closely by the Nutty Brewnette at BJ's brewery. I have a friend who brews beer, and 99% of what he makes, I like. He makes a Ginger Ale (real ginger, with the naturally produced alcohol via fermentation) that goes down *super* nice on a hot day while mowing the lawn.

Insofar as everything else, I'm partial to Jameson 18 year reserve, and there's a little distillery in Tennessee that makes the best moonshine I've had in quite a long time. Two fingers of good single malt whiskey, a good cigar, and an open fire is my idea of heaven. Thinking about firing up the burn pit tomorrow night. Hmm. I'll need to make a stop at the liquor store, though. Almost out of spirits. Plenty of beer, though!
