Naïve Old Fart 10,530 Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Tsk, tsk. You need to come to Scotland, and try some local whisky. Do you like gin? I live just under two miles from an award-winning distillery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,445 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 Well, i wanted to sample this stylish, and sophisticated drink from the colonies. That kept, especially the British, from dying for Malaria while operating tea plantations far abroad.

I think it has pretty mild bitterness. Certainly not bitter like most IPA's (I'm not a big IPA fan). Fun Fact: Guinness is actually fairly low-calorie beer, despite its heaviness. And it's good for you! 3 minutes ago, John Dutton said: Out of a souvenir approximation of John Dutton's two-toned mug. I admit that's a pretty nifty looking mug.

John Dutton 7,503 Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 My go-to booze that I drink every night watching Fox News and the same old shit before I pass out in a drunken stupor in preparation of the next work day is Evan Williams, which appeared several times on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, including the bottle that Giles kept hidden under the register at the Magic Shop which Spike and Anya drank the night they hooked up. Of course, on Buffy the logo was crudely altered with a magic marker to read Van Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick1Ø66 6,064 Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 The only whiskey I ever tried because it was on TV was Vat 69, which was mentioned in Band of Brothers. It tasted like the back of an LA county school bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
