OT: ~The Beer and Nightlife Thread V4~ Bring On the Doppelbock

[mikethelegacy]

I'm really not a fan of pop/soda. I try to limit my sugar intake to only naturally occurring sugars as much as possible, so pop now tastes too sweet to me.

I know, i'm trying to quit but I have a major sugar/caffeine addiction and it's a problem. Not addicted to anything serious in my life, but caffeine/sugar addiction is like the silent killer man, lol

I think that's the majority of America

I have a salt addiction so we're even.

of course you do

not that there's anything wrong with that

Just think: If it's hockey related, do as Shady Machine. If it's not, do the opposite of Shady Machine.

i really should probably follow this one though. I say that as I sit here washing my Taco Bell down with a 600 oz pepsi

IPA's are too hip... IPA's are too plenty..... IPA's aren't what they are cracked up to be. GO STOUTS

Stouts are good as well. So are lagers. There are so many great beers out there. People should enjoy them. Except light beers. They should not exist.

And if you like Arcade Fire then yes you are a hipster.

No. You are just calling something you don't like hipster.

Round and round we go

Can a hipster band have two chart topping albums and an album that got to number 2?

 

[Valarukar]

He's correct though. Arcade Fire is way too mainstream to be considered hipster. The fact you know who they are means they aren't hipster.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

That's what I was aiming for. And I'm sure he only said that because I said I liked Arcade Fire. For revenge for the IPA comment I made.

Same here. Stopped drinking pop completely 3-4 years ago.


General observation, this is the only place I've ever seen associate IPA's with hipsters.

I've associated the two and thought other people did too thanks to this:

ya me too. Though I have found more IPA fans who are far more pretentious than any so called Hipster I've ever come across.

Salt is definitely the best savory flavor...lol. Salt is the spice of life...and heart attacks

Drinking some Woodchuck Fall Harvest with a little Jack Daniels Cinnamon to top it off. Love some cider in the fall.

 

[Shady Machine]

Drank Hoppin Frog double pumpkin tonight. It's a solid pumpkin ale.

So I'm curious; how many of you are liquor drinkers and what is your preferred beverage? I'm partial to old fashioned myself. meat and potatoes has a good rendition, and oddly tgi Fridays in monroeville makes a good one too (yeah, I know, sounds real strange)

I drink liquor as well as brews.

I prefer Maker's 46 for American Whiskey, Finlandia for Vodka and mixing, Macallan for Scotch, Broker's for Gin, and Jameson as my fall-back.

....I like Radiohead. A lot, actually

I agree with the sentiment though. I get called hipster when it comes to music and politics, but I don't go out of my way to be different. It's just what I like.

I hate when people are so conscious of what others think of them. Who gives a crap if something is "mainstream"? Whatever that means.

 

[eXile59]

No. You are just calling something you don't like hipster.

How do you know I don't like them? No I really don't they are horrible.

Beer snobs didn't just materialize when IPA's did. They've been around longer than that.

My brothers is a sous chef down there and he recommends something every time we go. Last time I got a Manhattan and it was great. A couple weeks later I asked for one on South Side since I had just had a good one. I told the bartender that rail bourbon was fine and about 5 minutes later he came back and went "We don't have any of that rail bourbon" so I told them to forget it and ordered a beer.

I've never heard that term. Then again, I'm not a bartender.

Maybe it's not as common of a term as I thought. My Girlfriend use to tend bar and she knew so I just kind of assumed it was common knowledge among bar tenders.

it may be. I'll have to ask my wife. I've always heard well or bottom shelf.

Though I didn't even look up what it meant. It was easy enough to figure out from the context what you meant. At least, once he couldn't find it on the shelf it should have clicked
