Molson XXX Super Premium. Not bad.

Somebody likes malt liquors? :naughty: Over 7% Molson does sound so dirty that I'd like to buy it somewhere. Not possible in Finland, tho.

I drank AleSmith IPA last night and boy... The best IPA I ever tasted!

I think I'm going to make my first-ever trip to Bottle Rev tonight. I want to get something top shelf from NC to share with the groomsmen during gift giving time before the wedding on Sunday. The gifts happen to be personalized wall-mounted bottle openers, so it's only fitting.

Jameson, straight out of the 1.14l bottle. I will mix it with ginger ale tonight.

Bacardi 151 is on my Christmas wishlist.

Wtf? Is any of this in reverse? Pining for 151 yet you wanna dilute the Jameson?

EDIT: Imma let you do you. But damn do I love my Catholic whiskey ;)

Any suggestions on moderately good, moderately cheep beer?

What style do you like? I'm not sure if you are asking about beer in general or more craft type beers. Taste is such a personal thing that it's hard to say for sure, but for non "craft" beers, if you haven't tried them, give Rolling Rock, Yuengling, Dos Equis (amber), or even Pabst a try (if you like that light style). A lot of places you can just buy 1 bottle/can to try or mix and match (ducks waiting for GP to throw something at suggesting these).

If you want something more "crafty", Kroger used to carry a brand out of NY called something like Taproom 21 that was a step up and "used" to be lower priced than the $7+ / six pack that most craft beers cost. I think they give you a deal if you buy multiple six packs as well. They used to sell a Copper Lager, an Amber Ale and a Pale Ale.

Probably my favorite beer is back on the shelves now..it's New Belgium 1554 Black Lager. I typically like Porters, Stouts, Amber Ales and stuff that aren't hopped to the extreme, although when done right and balanced well, I like a good IPA as well.

I'm trying to diversify so I'm not really sure I have a "style" yet. I'm not looking for fancy stuff, just more options. Blue Moon is probably my favorite at this point. I guess I's be interested in something more in line with that.

I can't help you from my own experience as I'm not a fan of Blue Moon or beer of that style. I'd go grab a few wheat beers and give them a try. Leinenkugel, Shock Top, etc... Depending on how much hop you like, a friend of mine loves the New Belgium Accumulation. A different friend of mine likes Blue Moon and he also likes Magic Hat #9 even though it's a different style beer so you might want to try that.

hmmm, moderately priced wits are pretty hard to find good ones.

If we did 12s of Beekeeper I'd suggest that one, but we don't and bombers have a much higher price point. I think that's the big issue with most wits though is they're typically in bombers or tap-only type setups.

Pricepoint is going to vary on these but here's the ones I'd suggest checking out:
Allagash White
Lagunitas Little Sumpin Sumpin
Bell's Oberon

Bell's is probably the cheapest of the 3.

I'd also suggest Three Floyds Gumballhead but we don't get distro in NC of them.
