Beer, whats yours?

[bunyip]

They used to say the same of Emu Bitter re the factory on the can, it was truly a terrible brew fit only for clearing blocked plumbing.
As for Scotch, I love a nice single malt all by itself, my brother is the same and we can make absolute bastards of ourselves with a couple of bottles in a night and regret it the next morning, our tastes in beer are very similar too, we are heading down to his place in three weeks so look out Tasmania, lock up your supplies.
Now bourbon, I find it just rough and hot and it doesn't work for me, I do like Zubrovka vodka but not many other spirits.
I remember when I was in Russia we were on a Russian air base as guests in the officers mess and they gave us samples of their finest all night, the first time I experienced airsickness the following day while we were still on the tarmac.

Oooh! Tassie Scotch is making a great name for itself internationally. Gin too.

"Larks Distillery" has a tasting room off of the Hobart foreshore (next door to the 'Mawson's Hut' display). I've imbibed and the offerings are yummy.

:licking:

When I could get it I used to like Schooner out of Nova Scotia. Never cared for Moosehead that I think was from New Brunswick.

Also liked a beer that I forgot the name of. It was in the 1970's in Alberta, Canada and I remember the bottle cap had a buffalo (bison) on it. Never could find it again.

Maybe it WAS Moosehead and you were drunk?

Or maybe it was this...

Thank you.

You are welcome. Beer research is hard work, but someone has to do it. :drink:

I have a couple of books on the subject by Michael Jackson, he used the same line in one of his documentaries, was quite entertaining.

Here is my favorite church key and I have it in regular use to this day. Manhattan Beer was reported to be associated with Al Capone. From what I can tell it is roughly 100 years old.

Courtesy Wikipedia:
According to the book After Capone,[1] Chicago mobster Johnny Torrio and partner veteran brewing magnate Joseph Stenson (of Stenson Brewing Company) purchased Manhattan in 1919. Not long after the purchase, pal Louis Greenberg (finance man for Al Capone) assumed management responsibilities and held a significant stock position in the brewery. Greenberg was seen as a perfect fit given his experience in the booze businesses and as a money-man.

Coming full circle with the OP, my go to is Becks. I also buy a lot of Two Roads because it is brewed by a old friend of mine.
