Official N4BB Beer Forum

Alnamvet68

You've all been wondering about it, so here it is, the N4BB beer forum, where you can post your favorite brews, whether it be American swill out of a can, craft beers, exotic overseas bottled beer, and an opportunity to post your "mug" along with what you're drinking right now.

Home brews, craft beers, small batch local beers most welcome.

Though this is a beer forum, it's OK if you post non-alcoholic Shirley Temple tripe just so no one feels left out. It's also OK if you post wines, whiskeys, Scotch, Bourbons, or whatever as well if you're one of those in serious need of rehab.

Pics of you with your beer and with your BlackBerry device will be most appreciated.

Have at it folks, and bottom's up, if you know what I mean.

OK, I'll start...I'm a fiend for Mojitos, and this is the way I like it:

tall glass, 1/3rd filled with crushed ice
Juice of 1 large lime
1/2 tsp of raw sugar
2-3 crushed mint leaves
2 shots of white Rum (Capt Morgan's Key Lime is good)

Stir above well, then fill glass with Perrier Sparkling Water Citrus Collection while gently stirring

Chocolate Covered Cherry Shot

Served in a shot glass

1 part Amaretto
1 part Coffee Liqueur
1 part White Creme de Cacao
1 dash Grenadine, dropped down in the center

Lucas

Crown Reserve on the rocks. As for beer, I'm a sucker for all IPAs. For wine, I love nearly all reds, but really enjoy the Casillero del Diablo brand the most.

Chadd

That's all. No more liquor for me. Well Captain Morgans Private Stock once in a a while.

Buttery Nipple Double Shot

2 parts Butterscotch Schnapps
2 parts Baileys Irish Cream floating on top..

Use a turned over spoon resting against the inside of the glass, and slowly pour to make it float over the Schnapps

Hmmmmm.....I'll have to try some Bailey's (another one of my addictions) the next time I latch on to a nipple. :ar!

Red Tail Ale

Brain Hemorrhage -

But I'll go with a buttery nipple in two shakes of a lambs tail if one is offered to me.

Best beer I ever tasted - ever - St. Bernardus Christmas Ale. From Belgium. After the holiday season you can buy their dark and it is almost as good.

I was pretty sure you would say "a glass of Pinot", @glassofpinot ;)

Haha. Thanks. It's an old name chosen in a moment. The real life is hopefully broader.

I no longer partake of alcohol, but in my college days my favorite and I think hands down the best, was Guinness from the tap at room temperature, the way it was intended. There should be a law against serving it any other way :). I have a bottle of 20yr old Scotch that a customer gave me for Christmas that I'm very tempted to at least taste because I google the stuff and it's around $100 a bottle. It must be good, right?

jafobabe

Broken Down Golf Cart
1/2 oz amaretto almond liqueur
1/2 oz Midori® melon liqueur
1 dash lime juice

Serve in Shot Glass
Shake and strain through ice.

jafobabe

Bahama Slammer Shot
1/2 oz Blue Curacao liqueur
1 oz 151 proof rum
1 oz white tequila

Use Tall Shot Glass

Ok, gotta stop this, I'm getting thirsty!

@rotorwrench
I like Guinness too, but not here in the states.... tastes better in the UK.
What brand is the Scotch?

glassofpinot

So now N4BB is officially a wine but no whine site. Perfect!
How about that, @Lucas?

Well I enjoy my very own shine. Next to that it will be wild turkey 101. My beer of choice is budwiser. The only time I really drink beer is during harvest. Nothing else cuts thru the dust,dirt and chaff like ol bud. I've never drank wine so I'll have to try some of yall's recommendations.

BB4tw

My favorite kind of beer is cold and free. :D

Otherwise I like Bud Light or an amareto sour.

Macallan is the brand. It's a single malt I think.

Does 420 count? I only drink a few times a year and very few then. Did way too much too often in my youth and too many pukers. :)

Oysters and stout anyone?

jafobabe

I'll take the Stout.... you can have the Oysters Al

Would that be a Mackeson or Marston's Oyster Stout?

Anything that doesn't have Oysters in it.. :P

Blackjack93117

Not even Oysters Rockyfeller?

I can drink more Budweisers than any other beer.
That doesn't mean it's a good beer by any means. It just has continuity.

Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. Tastes great, not overpriced, and they sponsor my rugby team.

D_March

I'll take a vodka martini dry as a bone, or a single malt scotch. For wine I prefer a good zin or cab and for beer a Bells Two Hearted Ale.

zensen

a recent beer that I tried while in NY was a boddington on tap. was pretty damn good if you ask me. originates in the UK but I doubt its the same type of brew.

the reason I say that is that Red stripe(jamaican beer) tastes great when I had that in san francisco but when I went to the UK it tasted like crap - both were from the tap.

Same with fosters, fosters taste like crap in australia yet is somewhat okay in the UK.

and asahi was awesome in Japan on tap (as you can see I much prefer my beer on tap) but can't say the same anywhere else in the world.
