Microbrews are tricky.  Like New Belgiun, I dislike basically all of their beers except for 1554, their dark ale.  We cannot get New Belgium in my state though, because they will only ship it if it can stay cold, and our liqour laws prevent that.  I have some good friends in Boulder and generally do not like most of the Micro Brews around there.  However, if you want to consider Sierra Nevada a micro brew than most of their stuff is pretty amazing.  Everything except their IPA, but Pyramid makes a great IPA.  Carlsberg Elephant is my favcorite beer for getting drunk.  Czechvar is better than Stella.  And Stouts are the best type of brews.

However, some Jameson and Ginger Ale, Knob Creek with a splash of Coke or Chilean/Argentinian Syrah is better than beer.

Knob Creek with a splash of Coke

Why not just piss in it, you philistine?

I had a dream last night that I was in a dusty old liquor store.  I asked the old lady tending the store if they had Glenfiddich 18yr and she claimed they did.  Anyway, my week of finals ends Thursday so I think I know how I'm celebrating.  It's gonna take a few days to work up the guts to justify buying a 70 dollar bottle.

Hey, do you guys think that the "African tapes" joke is a reference to Awesome Tapes From Africa?

I doubt it severely, but hey, who knows what kind of shit O scours the internet for?  No one.  Not a one.

Don't mess with August's Southern liquors 'round here and expect to get away with it, boy.

I'm glad to see this thread pulled Bobby out of the woodwork, because if it hadn't, it would have proved that he had deserted us forever, like that other guy, you remember, the one with the letter of the alphabet for his name? X? W? You know, whatever it was.

he got all upset when I said we should hang out, too.

Actually, no. I didn't say that. I commented that I live like half a mile away from him. He said "You stay the hell away." and "I am so changing grocery stores."

Also, regarding this strip, the idea of a police officer whose job it is to shoot people that jump from buildings before they hit the ground is fuck*ng hilarious.

Took me a moment or two to figure who "L.B." was.  But then it was perfect.


Mmmmmm... bourbon.

I'm afraid I ruint him for you.

Dang, apparently.  I am from the south as well, though.  Anyways, sorry August, I am not man enough to take it in any other form than shots or with coke.  Sometimes I go with a splash of water, but it is hard. 

All this alcohol talk has made me want a strikeout like no other.  Basically what a strikeout is, is a gravity bong hit that you do not exhale, then you chug a beer and take a shot and exhale.  One time I did this with a Sierra Nevada Porter and some Knob Creek, that was a hell of long (short) night.  Plus it was dumb.  I should have just used some High Lifes and Popov.

[theinevitable]

oh my god dude, what did you do to him? Did you make him do that bong of death thing that Keith just scared the bejeezus out of me with?

Coke is for Tennessee Whiskey (typically Sour Mash). Bourbon is to be drunk neat, with neither mixer nor ice. Unless you're talking about Wild Turkey, which is only palatable when mixed with ginger ale and served over ice.

[KeithHernandez]

Knob Creek is sour mash.  In fact, if I am not mistaken, sour mash is very, very typical in Bourbon.  Also, if you are calling Tennessee Whiskey Jack Daniels then that is basically bourbon but is not made in the right place, plus that thing they do.  Some distilling/filtering thing I can't think of right now.

[Choop]

Yes that's basically what I'm doing

The difference lies in such as tradition and honor

Proffesional respect makes distillers of whiskey not call their products which might be considered hell of equivalent 'bourbon'

[pmcd9]

I guess Kentucky wants to be like the French all claiming that it's only Sparkling Wine if it isn't made in the Champagne region of France.  Sorry Frank, but it had to be said. 

[KeithHernandez]

I for one agree with Kentucky's (is there a Bourbon County?  Well all of it comes from one county I think.) claims.  Anyway, Choop is right, the other places respect Bourbon to much to call their Whiskey that, but they could if they wanted to.

The French are assholes though.  I mean come on.  Bourbon is the sweetest of the brown liqours, it has something that Tennessee whiskey can't touch.  Champagne?  Any idiot could make that.

I have to go with Paul on this. Unless there's some botanical difference like with vidalia onions needing to be grown in a specific hunk of dirt.
