SHOTGUN MESIAH 855 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) 1 SIP = INSTANT HEADACHE Something about high alcohol beer that gives me bad headaches.

Rhodes1968 1,638 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I am no beer guy but IIRC different yeasts are used to produce the high content, that may well be an allergic reaction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HB of CJ 1,263 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Don't they have to call it Barley Wine because of the high alcohol content? Our local pizza place has a micro brewery and they have what is locally called Russian Imperial Stout. Sometimes the alcohol content comes out too high and they have to sell it as Barley Wine. Glug glug. One pint of the Barley Wine will definitely put you on your ass. HB of CJ (old coot) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doug Hartley 526 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I prefer Imperial Stouts which generally run around 9-10%. Over 30% would be interesting to try but I'd have to go to bed early! Doug 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
termite 463 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Best beer I ever had was in Indonesia, every morning I had 2 Bintangs(spelling) delivered to my room at 5:30, you couldn't drink the water, so I brushed my teeth with a "little" then drank the rest at breakfast, and these where about quart sized bottles. At the mill, since we couldn't drink the water, we had our choice of HOT beer or soda, just don't get staggering drunk, otherwise, you where immediately kicked out and not paid. Some real Brazilian beers are pretty good, and am going back down there in couple of months, babes are pretty damn fine too. especially in Rio. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JDeko 792 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I really like darker beers like Atwater's Vanilla Java Porter, OG Guinness, and Guinness Black Lager. I'm also a fan of most things Sam Adams makes, and Woodchuck Hard Cider. Surprisingly, Steel Reserve is actually pretty good beer and for a dollar a 24oz can its great when money is tight.

thebuns1 4,323 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I like a good ale best. Highland brewing company makes a good one called Gaelic ale. Try it. Ive come to the conclusion that if its a twist off cap, I dont really like it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mullet Man 2,114 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Beer? Yes please! Great Lakes Brewing company has some good choices. My go to on a normal basis is 312 Urban Pale ale and draft only Green Line. Love me some IPA's though. Super high alcohol content beer is rough to me, very hard to drink and usually over powers the hoppi bitterness I'm after. In my opinion.

JDeko 792 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Tis why I like Black Lager over regular Guinness. Also I think Steel Reserve is pretty high alcohol content but to me tastes creamy like a beer float. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are some double and triple IPAs out now that are really strong but still have great flavor.

You should totally try dogfish head 120 minute i.p.a. it'll set ya right in a hurry! Hard to come by tho, you see the 90 minute version around more often which is good but the 120 is awesome.

lumberman 116 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 I really do enjoy Alpha King from 3 Floyds. Need more, now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nailbomb 10,221 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 On the cheap I'll drink Old Vienna, and Yuengling. I'll enjoy heiniken, Amstel, Molson, Dos equis, modello negro, guiness, smithwicks, sam adams... The list could go on for common beers. getting into Micros I love Stone Brewings Double Bastard. It was the beer that made me think of beer differently. More recently I've had Founders all day IPA, and Saranac Caramel Porter. Both good breweries with quality products. More esoteric would be Two Goats, Middle Ages, Empire, and Roosterfish. If you like imperial stouts you need to seek out a pint of Middle ages dragonslayer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigChongus 765 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Yuengling and Labatt Blue are the only things I'll drink. Everything else - no matter how expensive - just tastes like shit to me. Guess that's just my unrefined palate, but whatevs. I'm a Captain Morgan and Coke guy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nailbomb 10,221 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Weird... is it a thing for rum drinkers to not like beer? Not that I won't drink rum, but I will go for the whiskey(Scotch and bourbon included) first. Rum especially with soda seems so sweet and syrupy, messes with my stomach after too many.

Dad2142Dad 6,559 Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Rum especially with soda seems so sweet and syrupy, messes with my stomach after too many. Can't even stand the smell of rum and all it took was one night that I remember very little of.

BigChongus 765 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Long Islands are the queen mother of all stomach rapers. Never got sick off of any mixed drink except those. I don't know what it is about them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 I LOVE a proper Long Island Iced Tea...but damned few places make 'em right...and I need a cab after ONE. They put you on your ASS. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BigChongus 765 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 At the bar by my college, the special on Wednesdays is Long Islands for $2, so they likely don't fit the description of a "proper" LI. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) There's about 5 shots in one drink...so if it's $2, it's a hell of a bargain c. The Recipe: 2 cups ice cubes 1 part vodka 1 part gin 1 part white rum 1 part white tequila 1/2 part triple sec 1/2 part sour mix 1 splash Coke Lemon wedges for garnish Edited April 4, 2015 by patriot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigChongus 765 Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Yeah, it's a definitely a good deal, just pretty sure they use shit-tier liquor in them. Not that I'm complaining. It's kinda tradition at my school for people to head down there the Wednesday night after their 21st. They don't taste very strong, so the new guys tend to get confident and slam 6-10 of them fairly quickly. They then wake up at some point the next afternoon wondering wtf happened.
