                                Booker's, like smoke flavored moonshine and equally potent, Glenmorangie Cellar 13, smooth: http://www.whisky-distilleries.info/Glenmorangie_EN.shtml. 
Getting closer to broke for the Booker's, but holy christ! Once a month, I swear to God.
Anyone else made dark beer with pinon (a nut giving pine tree...) needles? Tastes like Lo... I mean Coca Cola.

                        If Stone IPA or Pale Ale seems heavy after awhile, try Stone Levitation. It tastes good and the alcohol content is normal.

                                Just yesterday i was jonsin' big time to get back into brewing, IPA was the first thing that came to mind, should be fairly easy. After that if i could approximate Anchor Steam and Spaten Munich Dark (the Optimator!) i would be thrilled. I usally start of with Papazian's Joy of Home Brewing for recipes and tweak them a little with good results. I suppose Worm's Way is still the place for ingredients.
Btw, agreed on the O'Fallon 5 Day, damn fine stuff whenever i've had it on tap.

                                Darn it, brewing rocks. I only drank on these occasions, never had a hand in making in though, but would love to do so.
Since I'm not living in the green countryside anymore, I don't have no space to get equipment permanently and start it up. I might as well try one of these brewing events, where you can work using the brewery's equipment.

                        I had the New Belgium Trippel last night for the first time. Normally, I don't care for New Belgium beers, but Trippel is pretty good for the price, compared to other Trippels.

BEER HOUND? That's me!
I don't knock myself out with it anymore, but enjoy all the more since I don't, so...
It's all about the freshness, cold and tall and I'm game. Dry tastes aren't always my taste, but the Czech beers are Killer: Kozel and the original Budweiser of course. Some Eatern Austrian stuff I dig: Ottakringer, Stigl, dark lagers are cool too.
The Indie brewing thing you guys talk about is FANTASTIC, although it doesn't happen often enough where I live.

                        I always say that the closer wine taste like blood, the better. Spaghetti and red wine at campfire is the best.

                        MAAAYBE kind of off, since he doesn't clearly take the part of the bad guy, but Nicolas Cage in the Werner Herzog version of Bad Lieutenant, was freakin kick ass! Most possibly everything he ever let out of his wrenched mouth made it a classic part in my eyes. He sacked every bad dude in that movie.

Well, when I mix milk with vanilla vodka and Frangelico, I like to call it an Albino Russian...I had a bottle of Irish Creme I wasn't sure to do with. Tastes funky to me. So I put a shot of the Irish Creme, a shot of Jameson over ice with milk. It's like a White Russian. Not sure what to call it though, McRussian? White Irish?

Check out Devil Born Without Horns (written by Mike) and A Loud Humming Sound Came From Above... great pulp crime fiction! I also have Rock Stardom for Dumbshits but haven't started on it yet. I'm currently reading I Have Fun Everywhere I Go (Savage Tales of Pot, Porn, Punk Rock, Pro Wrestling, Talking Apes, Evil Bosses, Dirty Blues, American Heroes, and the Most Notorious Magazines in the World) by Mike Edison, and that's a GREAT book!
I just wish I had more time to READ. :(
