I like Woodford Reserve bourbon (sometimes on the rocks, sometimes neat), Yuengling Lager, Dos Equis Ambar, and just about any beer from Munich (Spaten, Hofbrauhaus, Paulaner, etc). Hoegaarden is a summer favorite. As for ciders, I occasionally like Magner's (Bulmer's in Ireland, where the nice folks in Dublin first showed this Yank that cider is not a girly drink, it's just a drink). I'll occasionally revisit my college days and get a slushie from the 7-11 and add vodka.
