The boozer!

Recommended Posts

This is a thread to talk about, suggest and review beers, spirits and wines. Be they well known brands, new beers or local ones to your country that you would love others to try. Give a rating out of 10 if you wish.

Recently I had some of this for the first time. http://api.ning.com/files/oTlWvhTWsv-BMk0SQze0aPhRt5okrsj7xzRIEN-l2KAzPDkly6e7T2dNJk*5U*HAdMbF2AuR56tafAT05IAtDTS3nwSeP1ys/guinness_black_lager.jpg

Best described as a lager with a roasted barley giving it a slight taste of Guinness and an Coca Cola like colour. It is very smooth and easy to drink and taste simply great. If you enjoy any lager and/or Guinness then this is a nice change up. If you can get your hands on a few bottles I highly recommend it!

8/10

:beeeers:

Artemovsk KrimSekt

Don´t buy the import stuff, try to get the original (should look like above).

cheap alcohol

Giesler Kölsch!

It´s main advantage: being cheaper than the very tasty Gaffel Kölsch.

Still giving it a 7/10 because its a local brand, also it didn´t give me a headache this morning!

After the 5th bottle every beer tastes the same anyway :811:

For an awesome Gin+Tonic, I recommend Hendrick's Dry Gin:

Bombay Sapphire is a close second. :D

Or Irish coffee ;)

Well i'm more into red wine, but that must be connected to my genes. But my body prefers beers (not stout though).

Hate Irish coffee, the 2nd worst thing we exported from here after Jedward. (Sorry world)

Barman recommended Saxon as similar to fosters, but wasnt the best seemed rather flat!

6/10

What do I drink... Beers from small regional breweries, Whisky, some Polish Vodka once in a while. Not big fan of wine though, but If I drink any that would be homemade speciality of my mother - blue grape wine made from grapes raised by her in the garden. I like German Rhein wines too :)

Another things are... Tinctures - homemade macerations of different ingredients in spirit (for example... cherry, quince, lemon, ginger, walnuts). There are different kinds and recipes and each ingredient has it's own properties. For example walnut, caraway herbal or quince tinctures are very good for digestion problems, while ginger or horseradish tinctures are best medicines for cold. Tinctures are very popular in Poland and have been in use as medicines since centuries. Very easy to make. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nalewka

My every day whisky recommendation would be Teachers Highland Cream. That's old style Scotch whisky with very high single malt content over 40%! We get a really smooth, malty taste at 'normal' price.

My boozie of choice is Desperados, tequilla-flavoured lager from France. When it comes to stronger things, it's either Żubrówka, or Finlandia (my girl can't stand Zubrówka...).

Also every year I make some homemade wine (no concentrate, only real fruits), trying to make something different every year, last year it was cherry, this year blackcurrant
