Beer... what DO you drink when drinking to get some?
« on: May 18, 2005, 11:02:12 PM »
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that most folks don't drink the same thing in a bar (in public) that they drink at home... seems to be some kinda stigma regarding 'branding'.

So come on.. fess up.. whaddya drink when yer out? And do ya drink the same brand at home?

It's hard finding that generic stuff that comes in a white can with BEER stenciled on the side when I'm out at bars.

Actually, haven't been able to drink beer since surgery.  But I HAVE started enjoying blended margaritas.  

ok, fine.  I like froo-froo drinks.  There.  I said it.  I also drink Daquiris and things with umbrellas in them.

If drinking beer in a bar (which I normally DON'T do) Heinekin, St. Pauli Girl, or Warsteiner. I normally prefer to order Glenlivit or Crown Royal Special Reserve.

About the only bar I go to anymore is the Brickskeller in DC. I just pick something nearly at random.

Brewed with a 'tude.

Pretty much drink the same stuff at home as when I'm out.

Guinness.

Though it is hard to get a decent pint where I live so I have been known to branch out into other beers, like Harp, Bass, Anchor Steam (brewed down the road in San Francisco).  Again it's pretty much the same fair in my fridge right now.

Depends on my mood.  I usually keep Little Kings and Bud at home.  When I go out, Rolling Rock (only because they dont have the Little Kings in the bar usually).

i drink mainly the same thing at home and pubs, only local brews - Rothaus & Waldhaus.
If i'm further away from home i like to taste beers i never tasted before,
ie. not the same brands you can get everywhere on earth.
