TimPitot Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Posted July 8, 2011 Peter I have been to the Little Creatures brewery, they do brew some choice ales. While in NZ I would occasionally go 'off piste' and stray away from the fantastic NZ craft beers for a Coopers Extra Strong Vintage Ale - tasty stuff! Quote

Jeff Wexler Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 I'm Cheap. I think we should put this Pabst next to Eric's bottle of Diet Pepsi. Quote
Eric Toline Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 I think we should put this Pabst next to Eric's bottle of Diet Pepsi. Do not disparage the recuperative powers of Diet Pepsi. It allows me to be cute & adoreable, The Ketel One vodka allows me to believe that, regardless of what the lying mirror says. Eric Quote
dfisk Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 I just purchased a Soda Stream recently, and I'm experimenting with making my own sodas. I am a total lightweight when it comes to booze, so I don't really drink...but at NAB, the folks at the Hilton were giving out free shots of some kind of Whiskey that was damn good. Quote
greg sextro Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 Dig this thread. Many great ideas to "ponder" over. After a my day dealing with a difficult DP, I will be enjoying a few glasses of this (neat with a splash of water!) : Followed by a cool bottle of: Quote
Sebastian Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 Chocolate Block is amazing, every time I go to SA I pick up a bottle or two. I'm surprised you get it all way in LA! Loving all the micro/craft brews - there seems to be a lot of great beer brewed in the states. It's morning here, so 'builders tea' as the poms call it, is imminent! Mmmm! I'm a South African and have never heard of Chocolate Block. Guess you guy's are the privileged few who get to taste our wonderful exports. Am going to check it out when I get home. I'm in Brazil at the moment so it's Caipirinha's all round! Cheers!! Quote
John Moore Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 Smuttynose Brewery gets my vote for best name in a month o' sundays! (Yeah, I know it's an island... so?) Quote
Eric Toline Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 Smuttynose Brewery gets my vote for best name in a month o' sundays! (Yeah, I know it's an island... so?) How about Moose Drool? Quote
John Moore Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 Okay- Moose Drool has my vote for one of the best-named beers (next to Raging Bitch)... It's not my favorite, since I prefer hoppier beers. Quote
Peter Deutscher Posted July 23, 2011 Report Posted July 23, 2011 My beverages for the evening. Great triple hopped IPA from Eugene, OR and some Japanese whiskey my brother gave to me for my birthday. Good, but still doesn't come close to my beloved Laphroaig 15 year. Quote
Marc Hoppe Posted July 23, 2011 Report Posted July 23, 2011 What else would I be drinking, especially out of my large curling club mug? Marc Hoppe Quote
Ferdinand Almalvez Posted July 23, 2011 Report Posted July 23, 2011 Welcome to the Mid-Atlantic, John. Be sure to get down to the Wharf Rat on South Ann in Fells Point. My current fave is from Delaware, Dogfish Head Shelter Pale Ale +1 on the dogfish, its my current fav as well Quote
chris_bollard Posted July 23, 2011 Report Posted July 23, 2011 With the tour de france on we have been sampling wines from the region as they go! With Cadel picking up the final yellow jersey tonight (our time) might have to celebrate last day with a big Aust red wine (to match his team colour) On the beer front I'd say Hoegaarden is one of the best (Belgian) and from Aust - Fat Yak or White Rabbit Quote

Chris McCallum Posted July 31, 2011 Report Posted July 31, 2011 Those all look like good choices and I think I have tried a few . But my favorite tipple these days is Tea . English Breakfast Tetleys or Builders brewed in the pot and served in a mug that you could throw a pool party in, the bigger the better.No Assam ,Earl Grey or fruit flavored camomile infused hand picked by Tibetan Grandmothers nonsense just tea.The stuff my Mother poured down our throats from the moment we came of the breast . From morning till night in the hard wet cold of a Scottish winter to the fierce heat of the Egyptian Sahara it warns your innards one day and refreshes you the next .And I swear there is no more welcoming words heard on location than "would you like a cuppa' it makes the longest days that little bit sweeter. Best John PS Milk no sugar thanks I am with you brother! My present project has me recording long long interviews (up to 4 hours at a stretch) in a cold dark room and my saving grace is a very large English Breakfast tea to get me through. My new motto is "Where there is tea there is hope!" Quote
