The Evening Tipple...

[Smithy]

I suspect that there's quite a few Loungers who enjoy something to oil the wheels in the evening. Much like the "what you had for dinner" thread I thought one for the evening tipple was warranted.

Tonight I enjoyed a Twisted Thistle Indian Pale Ale which did the job nicely, nice and refreshing and with a good bitterish taste. Just about to pop the top on another.

Right, what's your poison this evening...

 

[Ecuador Jim]

This weekend my choice was a "Dark and Stormy"; Scotch and ginger beer (NOT ginger ale)

 

[staggerwing]

Macallan 12 YO, neat, served in a brandy snifter.

 

[Josephine]

Last night I had a Sam Adams Black Lager.

 

[Spitfire]

you just might not believe it, but I just had a nice pint of...

Strange isn't it? With a name like mine

 

[Smithy]

Good man Spitty, we have Spitfire on tap here, damn nice drop.

 

[Doh!]

I had a wee bit o' Guinness.

It'll be two fingers of Glenfiddich Malt Whiskey Liqueur over a rock as soon as I complete my sixth grade homework.

That would be just now.

 

[Spitfire]

Good man Spitty, we have Spitfire on tap here, damn nice drop.

...yet another very good reason to go to Trondheim one of these days!:beer:

In some special bars in Copenhagen, you can get Spitfire on the tap too - but most of the time I'll have to settle for the bottled version. (Which is a damn good drop too!)

Due to overordering for a party and gifts received our recent evenings have begun with Champagne. Unfortunately, we are getting down to the last case and may need to think about a return wine, Manhattans or Sidecars.

 

[Nathan Flowers]

Last night, a microbrew barleywine.

 

[Mr. Lucky]

For me, a double espresso with a twist of fresh lemon from my lemon tree.

 

[Big Man]

Whiskey. Straight.

 

[Jack Scorpion]

John Collins fan. (A Tom Collins w/bourbon or rye.) I prefer Rye Whiskey, but Bourbon is more available barring a trip to BevMo.

This weekend my choice was a "Dark and Stormy"; Scotch and ginger beer (NOT ginger ale)

I thought a "dark and stormy" was dark, spiced rum and ginger beer? In Bermuda, dark and stormy's with dark rum are like what a mojito is to Cuba, kind of like a national drink.

Which reminds me, I'm running out of all the good rum that I bought when I was in Bermuda...

Whiskey. Straight.

Rum. Gay.

Sorry, tough guy, couldn't help the jokey-joke.

Me it's either beer and schnaps or sctoch, usually a black or a islay/peaty single.

Last night it was a bit of both....

 

[Big Man]

Rum. Gay.

Sorry, tough guy, couldn't help the jokey-joke.

lol lol lol lol lol lol

 

[Tommy Fedora]

I usually have a glass or two of wine with my dinner, and shortly after.
Last night a fine chianti put me in a mellow mood, and all was right with the world thereafter.

 

[BeBopBaby]

Yes, the original concoction is made with rum. I just prefer scotch, but pay homage to the ginger beer by keeping the name. There is a bit more twang to it.

I did pay homage this year, to the rum gods of Puerto Rico though...geez, over 200 distilleries on the island!

Either way, it sounds good! I love ginger beer.

 

[Smyat]

Whiskey. Straight.

Pour me one. Jack Daniel's Single Barrel preferred. Knob Creek will do.
