    Default What's yer poison?

    Don't know if this has been done before. I'll kick off.

    Tooheys Old. It has to be out of a keg and MUST be cold.
    Good scotch Whiskey just with ice.
    If one must drink whiskey with coke then any whiskey may suffice
    Like a good drop of wine too. Red or white. Like WA wines.

    I think I may have a problem.

    Glenmorangie or Glenfiddich if it's something special.

    Other than that, almost anything. Red or white wine, or lagers.

    Aalborg Akavit
    Coopers Ale
    Or more commonly, just plain old garden variety VB, if it's on special. (which it usually is)

    Real beers, not chemical-laden mass-produced stuff. Dark beers, stouts, and malty red-brown beers. If I'm going to drink a paler beer than make it a Hoegarten or a Coopers, something with real taste.

    Red wine. Robust, Australian stuff - best in the world. Shiraz from the Barossa, Cab Sauv from Coonawarra, blends from McLaren Vale, anywhere the wine is good. Doesn't have to be expensive, but life is too short to drink bad wine.

    White wine, NZ Sauv Blanc and that's about it. And stickies.

    Scotch. With ice. Single Malt, the milder varieties. Cardhu, Glen Morangie, Glenfiddich, etc.

    And a whole lot of other stuff depending on what mood I'm in, like Irish whisky, vodka, ouzo. But I have to admit that these days I drink more tea and coffee than grog. Must be getting old....

    Knockando or Bruichladdich.


    (Single malt whiskies, to the uninitiated boors. )

    Tooheys Old.

    I don't mind it from a bottle 'cos that are not too many places up here with it on tap, nearest is about 35kms away.

    Like Poppa,
    good beers, real beers, tasty, amber, brown, stout, pale whatever- just not that mass produced bland crap.
    My standard bottom of the barrel everyday beer would be coopers, pale, sparkling or even stout.

    Red wine I like strong and full, even a bit sharp, shiraz, cab sav, etc, get that damn Merlot away from me. Australian is great.

    White, is sav blanc.

    then of course the spirits.
    Scotch, anything good, and as a base, Jamesons.
    Then rum, I like Mount Gay.

    yeah I spose thats a problem.
    Oh well.

    Not much.

    I have lost my taste for beer, even the better stuff. Which hurts since dad-in-law has about 6 boxes of top end ($60 a box) beer, he can't drink it and I don't want to.


    Can't stand whisk(e)y any more, unless it's cut with something sweet or is a little on the expensive side. The only one I have tried (so far) that I would buy is Suntory's second top whisky. 17 years old and over $200 a bottle. It can be drunk neat without setting alarm bells off. I have no doubt their 30 year old stuff is better, but that's over $1000 a bottle.

    Don't drink wine either.

    Coffee or tea, that's a different thing. Coffee I drink too much of, and the teas I don't mind drinking would make most of you guys sick.

    I know I can't drink, and I don't particularly care.

    Only one real choice, Coopers Sparkling Ale. No headaches or any other carry on in the morning. Naturally carbonated, sweet on the front of the pallet, clean finish. Serve cold with the rest of your life. As far as I can tell formulation hasnt changes in the 35yrs since I first tried it. Used to drink Old till they buggered it up about 20 yrs ago, the got rid of the burnt grain overnotes and changed to hop to dilute the flavour. Same with Hahn Premium a formula change 4yrs ago, changed the hops, blech..

    I will indulge in other fine ales, Little Creatures Pale Ale, although the Pacific Northern hop can be a bit much after too many, a local drop called Barons which is like the Little Creatures but the hops are better balanced. Guinness is always good and so is Hellentauer. I will try anything once, sometimes thats one to many.

    Dont bother with other tipples, just dont like em,

    Good gads Cliff. Where do you live. Uppercombuckter west?

    Beer...glorious beer. Love an expensive Cab Sav.
    Don't pass them by! Be daring and caring!

    Dampen their misery....sit with them and talk a little.

    Buy them something to eat and a tram fare to a local mission.
    I'm so lucky that I've somewhere to live and have family support.
