amaretto and pbr
 

as the offical spokes person of the 'hipster' movement (according to the people at the party that i'm at) amaretto and PBR is the new official drink of the hipster movement. so, whenever you dribk PBR, mix a shot of amaretto in with it.
of course, take into account ihat thiis is a ciderpunk writing this. I can't stand pbr and need something else to make it palatable. so, if you're at a party with nothing but PBR and amaretto and you can't stand beer. .

So amaretto and PBR is the new fixed gear.
drink up. its good.

two wheels good, four wheels bad

Piiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!! Oh god drunk drunk drunk

Um new topic.

Another booze thread in the FG & SS forum. These things pop up as often as the "What bike should I get?" threads in the road forums. God, I love the FG & SS forum.

You sick bass turd! You should just take a dookie in a blender and mix it up...cheaper and probably tastes the same.

weak, just drink your ******* beer. Whether thats a hipster drink or not I don't care, it sounds revolting to me. Come to the midwest and drink some Old Style for a while. You will have no problem with PBR when you get home.

I drank a Miller Lite last night and it tasted so weak. I've been spoiled on good European beer for too long!!!

Two words. Steel Reserve.http://www.people.virginia.edu/~jpm7...el_Reserve.JPG

If I remember correctly from my bartending days... dropping a shot of amaretto in ANY pint of beer is called a Dr. Pepper (cause that's what it tastes like) You need a about 2/3 of a pint of beer, and you actually drop the shot (glass and all) into the the pint glass...as soon as the shot glass hits the bottom of the pint glass...Chug...

Yo! That's my drink!

Well, actually I prefer OE or Colt 45, but that's my 3rd... At least when I'm drinking malt likka...

The last "hipster" drink I tried was Zima and grenadine (no,I didn't just make that up). PBR and Amaretto sounds slightly better,but not much. I think I'll stick to being unhip and drink decent beer. :D

yeah i've been a guinness boy since I was old enough to steal it out of my friends' dad's fridge...15years ago...geez I feel old.

someone kept refilling my glass. i think i had over a gallon of beer. that's alot.

my rule. *****ty beer makes me feel like ***** the next day. good beer makes me feel good. yeah for good beer and kalamazoo michigan.

ps i hate the smell of cupcakes (or anything baked) post *****ty beer night. and the chocolate factory on milwaukke/desplaines.

Something I've noticed about guiness : If some part of you is not from ireland somewhere down the genes, you can't stomach the thing.

Me ? I'm quite partial to the thing. Great-grandmother from there.

yeah I've never thought about it...but I do have family in Ireland so maybe that's it :)

Love Guinness, not a drop of Irish blood in me. I like Murphy's Stout more, but just.
Used to drink Killians Red with Amaretto years ago, called it a flaming Dr Pepper.

Oh. My. God. Murphy's stout is sooo good. I also love Guiness. Actually, I was discussing with a friend of mine that if I had to pick a single beer too drink for the rest of my life it would probably be Guiness. But I'm on a whiskey kick right now anyways.

There's a really bizarre cougar bar in my town that serves Murphy's in pitchers. It is the only place I've ever seen serve good stout in a pitcher.

Amaretto into any beer is indeed a "Dr. Pepper." You're supposed to chug it, but since it won't curdle, you don't really need to.

I prefer Irish Car Bombs ... Take a tall highball glass, half filled with Guiness. Drop in a shot glass, glass and all, of half and half Bailey's and Irish Whiskey. Drink fast. This one curdles. Tastes like awesome.

While i certainly do love both Guiness and Murphy's, I have to say that good REAL Ale (Cask Ale) is a better choice while i'm out on the bike. no fizz means if i don't have to let it settle before i jump back on the bike.

Though, when I get back to the US i may be out of luck. it's tough to find there...

Old Style always made me nervous. Maybe it was the red white and blue can with "HEIL" on it in fairly large letters.

a friend of mine drinks corona and grenadine. it tastes like redbull. ickk. he says it's a culture thing. whatever. ickk.

i second the murphy's stout. delectable. can't leave out good ol' sprecher in milwaukee (maybe it's a hometown kind of thing). their irish and imperial stouts are pretty darn good too.

i'm a mutt so i think i like all beers.

I grew up on sierra nevada pale ale. It was the beer of my people, "my people" being shop rats.

Last night, I tried two hard belgian lagers 8 & 8.5% if my memory serves me right, to kickstart the evening. One was named Lucifer, and the other one captain' something-or-another. We were eating pizza (the good kind) and my 3 supper companions were on red wine (girls ....). Weird thing is, I can't drink red wine anymore, since the time I was sick on it. Seems like the tannins rush straight to my head and hold pitbull fights for the whole night, which is not a good feeling.

So hum, yeah, I'm sure I had a point. Oh yeah, I drank murphy's too last night, as well as some local brewsiks.

i'm no expert, but i think a flaming Dr. pepper is 1/2 glass of beer, shot of amaretto (including glass) with a little 151 in it. your light the shot (it IS flamable), drop it in the beer and chug. last one to finish buys the round. first time i did it, i set my hand on fire. south fulcrum set a bar on fire one time ... ah, the good life.

This poses quite a unique etiquette problem ... who pays the round for the firemen? The looser or the igniter?

I know some Puerto Ricans who do that. Looks like a damn Shirley Temple. No way, vato.

as the wise men from monty python once said, " drinking American beer is like making love in a canoe. f****** close to water."

fortunately, it was just the alcohol (fumes?) on the bar top that caught on fire ... there were multiple flaming drinks involved so the effect was dramatic if not actually destructive. if he ever gets off the couch, he might log on and tell the story himself.

BTW - we, Slartibartfast and South Fulcrum (brothers and house mates), hosted the party (damitgravity's birthday) that started this thread . i'm not proud, i'm just saying. so how was that ride home, Timarchy ... or should i say, Lamb Sandwich?

I was on the couch watching the Barves get beat by Boston (bunch of jerks). I don't have the energy to tell the story of the Gravity Pub catching fire because I'm too sad and too sober now. :(

BTW - it was her lesbo mitzvah, not really her birthday.

most beers are no good from a can or bottle, anyhow.
the only way i can drink a guinness or murphy's is on tap.
but there's no real reason to have a guiness or a murphy's when you live in the best place for breweries in the u.s. ... the bigger ones are mactarnahan's (portland brewing), henry's widmer bros, bridgeport, full sail, etc etc.
but if you're gonna drink a beer in a bottle or a can, can't go wrong with the cheap stuff. and that dr pepper concoction sounds alright.

pbr is pure dog ****...ill stick to my black n tans thanks

Old Style or "The Style" as it is affectionately called, is a bit rough on the nerves. It is not really what you would refer to as "good". The point remains, it is all a matter of economics. Some of us simply can't afford to drink good beer every night. When you think that you are getting two PBR or Old Style drafts for the same price as two decent beers it all of the sudden seems more appealing. The secret in my mind is to only drink cheap beer. If you start mixing good stuff in then things start to go horribly wrong.

Several extraneous points:

1. The oddest thing I have seen done to cheap beer is the addition of citrus fruit.
2. The Heil stands for Heilmanns...you have nothing to worry about.
