GF unit would disagree, though thx to her Celiacs disease, she must partake of Norwegian Potato vodka.

[AW1Steve]

IPA. Especially a local "double IPA" put out by Silver city Brewery called "Whoop Pass". Failing that , Any good single malt scotch>[:D][:D][:D]

[Miller]

Stella Artois.

[Nikademus]

Guiness!

Its not just for breakfest anymore.

[niceguy2005]

For everday sorts of occasions and especially at baseball games - a really fine amber ale (Fat Tire or Avalance)

For fine dinning - a really nice red, perhaps a Cabernet Saviognon (white if its fish of course)

For those occasional evenings out Gin and Tonic

Finally, for those rare howl at the moon nights nothing but top-shelf tequilla will do. [:D]

Stella Artois.

Excellent summertime beer.

[Nikademus]

Warsteiner for summer!

[Mike Scholl]

Black Bush "neat" in the winter..., Gin & Tonic (with ice) in the summer..., Sam Adams Boston Ale (winter)..., Falstaff very cold (summer).   The summer heat in the Midwest causes seasonal changes in tastes.

Light beer is right beer
Dark beer is real gone too
Drink too much ale you get put in jail
guess I'll stick to home brew
I never pout just drink a little stout
a little stout will make you bulge way out

drinking beer
in the morning
drinking beer
in the afternoon

"Drinking Beer" recording by Jimmy Witherspoon circa 1948



well the G-men T-men revenooers too
all tryin to find where pappy makes his home brew
mighty mighty pleasing
pappy's corn squeezings

ooooo White Lightning!

"White Lightning" recording by George Jones circa 1954 (first recording by 19 year old Jones)

Love the Rhones too. Especially North Rhone: Cornas, Hermitage, Cote Rotie, and one happy time, a Grange Hermitage. Had a few Guigal single vinyard Cote Roties back in my pre-divorce, wine-cellar days - wonderful. There were a couple 1981 Lafites in there too but my ex-wife's lawyer ended up drinking them.

For alternatives, the Australians do an excellent job with Syrah. Not up to the best of the French but, for the price, very very good. Especially the 100% syrahs, that have the forwardness and bigness of a decent North Rhone. At about $6-$7 US a bottle, I'd recommend Yellow Tail Syrah. Comes in double bottles too but you'll need either a brace of thirsty friends or a nitrogen displacement system.

For the harder stuff, Highland Single Malts. Occasionally a Springbank or other lowland but only in the best bottlings. I very strongly recommend cask strength (100 proof and up). The bottlers frequently release their very best at original cask strength and you can add water to your tastes.

Beer. Well, something has to keep the pizza from burning the roof of your mouth. Do rather like the India or export ales and a good ESB. Porter over stout, thank you.
