    My wife likes to start with two or three of the good stuff, get the buzz on, then carry on through the night with something lighter/cheaper. You're already buzzing pretty good, so priority on flavor diminishes. Pretty sound plan IMO.

    you married good.

    your wife is a very smart person.

    Ha I'll tell her. She's a beer lady, but still drinks wine on occasion.

    We've had some wreckless nights thanks to our mutual love for the brew.

  • Crown Royal neat all night long

  • Worst hangover ever came from Milwaukee's Beast Light. On tap. On special nights it's free at my sportsman's club. So I drank away...oh GD the headache.

    LOL, maybe we ought to morph this thread into what gave you the worst hangover ever. Mine came from Schaffer beer in upstate NY way back in the 70s- I'll never forget that one. Even worse than a massive quantity of Gilby's gin one 4th of July.

    Can't drink high octane straight- never could. And take it from Dr Hoorta, slamming 80 proof or higher straight on a steady basis isn't good for your health. Crown on the rocks is one of my faves.

    i think my liver has a callous.

  • I can't say much about hangovers from the hard stuff. Well, then again I mix with pop, so I guess I always get some sort of hydration, even if not very much. Worst hangovers always came from beer for me (and forgetting to drink a big glass of water before hitting the pillow). Maybe I should test that and trying drinking Crown straight sometime.

  • MD 20/20 or 151 Rum by far the worst hangovers I've ever had.

    Slamming Crown is a sin in my book. Sip and savor it's silky flavor. A little goes a long way, especially with a nice cigar.

    Now you're talkin my language

  • Generally drink one of the Samuel Adams offerings, Lager being the favorite. Today, however, I'm having Yuengling Lager because I'm tired of paying out the ass for Sam Adams. For an occasional treat, I'll have a Founders Dirty Bastard Scotch Ale. Got a good kick to it. No cans, just Bottles or tap.

  • brought a 12 of this to a friends bbq yesterday. had tried on tap at a bar up in sleepy hollow a couple of weeks ago.

    something different for when the sun is beaming down on you.

  • I've tried a few, but just do not enjoy fruit in beer.

    My favorite beer is Old Leghumper Porter from Thirsty Dog Brewing Co.

  • naming a beer nowadays is like naming a band. you want to be creative and edgy.....or at least crass.

    Ditto- no arguing about tastes- as the Romans said about 2,000 years ago. If you like lemonade in your beer- more power to ya. My wife loves Summer Shandy, I don't. Pretty much a purist when it comes to beer- about my only .exception is lime in a Corona or Dos Equis at a Mexican restaurant.

  • I bought a six yesterday of Shock Top's Honey Bourbon Cask Wheat. Got half a bottle down before I had to give up on it. Thankfully the wife will make sure it doesn't go to waste. I like trying new stuff but damn it sucks when you get one you can't even force down.

    I'm not a fan of the fruity Summer Shandy either. I tried it on tap at a Browns game last year and although I could at least forcefully drink that one down. Well, at $9 a cup, you'll find a way.

    Can someone give me a good summer ale out there to try? I've had Sam Adams and Blue Moon summer wheat ale. They are ok, the SA one is fairly tasty, but looking for something else different... My problem too is being able to find it. There are a couple wine and beer shops near me that get better selections, but still are limited.

  • i brought the shandy, had a couple, turned them on to the girls and it was over. i went to bud cans in the cooler. something about that shandy, it tasted soooo much better on tap. you only tasted a hint of lemon in it, not like the bottle where it seems they stuffed a lemon into each one.
