Naïve Old Fart 12,141 Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 I don't know about tonight, but I've just had a lovely homemade banana smoothie, with milk, double cream, and crushed ice. Just the thing, after pumping iron.

Sweeping Strings 3,024 Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 As it's Hallowe'en and all, I have Hobgoblin beers from the Wychwood brewery and an Adnam's 'Ghost Ship' ale in the fridge for tonight (as well as a Badger's 'Blandford Fly' ale ... umm, I guess the last word has horror-movie resonances?)

Hmm. I've been drinking Hobgoblin since 1990. It's my favourite beer. I tried some Iron Maiden Trooper beer (I only bought it for the picture of Eddie, on the bottle). Not bad. I've also had some toffee apple cider. It does exactly what it says, on the bottle Sweeping Strings 1
Jay 43,858 Posted November 15, 2020 Posted November 15, 2020 Old Camp whisky... Maybe the best whiskey
Naïve Old Fart 12,141 Posted November 15, 2020 Posted November 15, 2020 Hold your horse, @Jay. Is it "whisky", or is it "whiskey"?
Bespin Copilot 10,052 Posted November 15, 2020 Posted November 15, 2020 Having myself a Gibson. Cheers!

Bespin Copilot 10,052 Posted November 21, 2020 Posted November 21, 2020 Drambuie... I bought a bottle... call me old fashioned... Naïve Old Fart 1
Naïve Old Fart 12,141 Posted November 21, 2020 Posted November 21, 2020 Nothing old fashioned about it, it's a fine drink. Slàinte Mhath, Bes! Princes in exile, raising the standard Drambuie. Parading their anecdotes, tired from old campaigns. Holding their own last orders, commanding attention. We sit here and listen to all of the story, so far. This is the story, so far!

Naïve Old Fart 12,141 Posted November 21, 2020 Posted November 21, 2020 Marillion fan, or do you just like the drink, Bes?
Thor 9,323 Posted November 21, 2020 Posted November 21, 2020 Drinking like a madman -- several specialty beers down and I have a small bottle of red wine waiting. I'm gearing up for an FSM Zoom meeting. By the way, I hope to host a JWFAN Zoom meeting soon, exclusively for us (so you don't have to worry about the strange people at Maintitles or FSM). I'm thinking January, maybe.
Jurassic Shark 15,548 Posted November 21, 2020 Posted November 21, 2020 January? The entire month? I don't think I've got enough wine for that.
Thor 9,323 Posted November 21, 2020 Posted November 21, 2020 Early January. I'll post in the 'video' thread when it's time. Naïve Old Fart 1

Sweeping Strings 3,024 Posted November 22, 2020 Posted November 22, 2020 Last night it was San Miguel and Staropramen, accompanying 3 live stand-up DVDs (Alan Davies, Jason Byrne and Jim Jefferies). Naïve Old Fart 1

Bilbo 4,044 Posted November 22, 2020 Posted November 22, 2020 I've given up drink because of my anxiety and the extended bouts of depression brought on by hangovers so I'll have to settle for Heineken 0 to celebrate our big win tonight! Bespin Copilot 1
Jurassic Shark 15,548 Posted November 22, 2020 Posted November 22, 2020 You just need to drink more, Bill!

Xander Harris 8,445 Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Where the hell have you been? Canada??
Bespin Copilot 10,052 Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 SHOOTER!!! But seriously, you have nothing best to drink in California than Maker's Mark? I prefer Johnnie Walker Red over that very basic bourbon. But I'm currently in a Gin phase. Dry (very dry) Martini, usually with 5 or 6 Queen olives. Hmmmm...
Xander Harris 8,445 Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 It's a good bourbon and was featured in all three Spider-Man movies, so I have an affinity for it. Norman Osborn drank it, then Harry and then the bottle explodes in the fireplace when they fight in the third one. I predominantly drink Evan Williams.
Bespin Copilot 10,052 Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 As a scotch drinker, I was not impressed by Maker's Mark. I tolerate Jim Beam in cocktails (for old fashioned and Jim Beam Bloody Ceasars), but to drink neat, I go for Johnnie walker (red label for the week, black for special events). Ballantine Is very good for Whisky sours in the summer. I do like Glenfiddich or a Chivas when I'm in restaurants or bar... but my favourite scotch is the Oban 14 yo. Oban Kenobi. But this one is a bit expensive. Talisker, Glen Livet, Isle of Jura tooo hmmmm....
bruce marshall 1,905 Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Bulleit bourbon is the one you want. Jack Daniels is good too
Xander Harris 8,445 Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Never had Johnny Walker or Jim Beam outside of mixed drinks at bars and such.

bruce marshall 1,905 Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Sorry, i forgot the effete French only drink fine wines. 😎
Bespin Copilot 10,052 Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 No, I drink everything, but Jack Daniels, that's perhaps the most ugliest thing I've ever put in my mouth. Bulleit, it's available in Quebec, I will try it. "Full-Bodied and Complex". Ah... Which variety do you recommend me? Maker's Mark is "medium-bodied and woody". In this taste tag, I prefer Jim Beam. But MINE is the Oban 14:
bruce marshall 1,905 Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Chase it with San Pellegrino. No hangover!
Bespin Copilot 10,052 Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Just now, bruce marshall said: Chase it with San Pellegrino. No hangover! With Perrier! Sometimes... yeah... but I prefer it neat, no ice.
bruce marshall 1,905 Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Chase it. Sip the bourbon and immediately drink water to chase it.
bruce marshall 1,905 Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Perrier is good. But the carbonation is harsher, so it doesn't go down as well. Just now, Bespin said: Why chase it? It disperses the alcohol in.your system. so you don't get drunk too fast. And, you don't get a hangover. I drink until the Pellegrino is gone. Then quit. But, you may have higher tolerance. If you just want.to get drunk, drink rotgut whiskey
