HoosierFaithful Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Beer? It's gotta be either Gumballhead (man, I miss the midwest...) or Two Hearted (easy to get out here still). Liquor? Tough to beat a simple Gin and Tonic when the weather is hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Old Rasputin imperial stout when cool/winter SN pale ale or torpedo anytime. Knob creek 100 proof. Anything free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had some Gumballhead this past weekend My regular goto beer is Alaskan Amber Ale (now available in IL!) but I generally like to try different ones. Whenever I travel, I stop in the local brewpub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 I'm pretty good with any beer. Never got into hard alcohol. Just didn't work with me. Something about being on the boat at Lake Monroe and popping the first Shandy of the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drroogh Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Liquor: Vodka, if I can get it, Beluga from Siberia. Problem is, it makes me do things like start threads titled "Coaches that teach how not to play basketball" Beer: I'm one who likes to try different tastes, but my experiences with craft beers have not been the best. Maybe, I'm toooo experimental? I'm just going to stay with Bud Light as my favorite for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierFaithful Posted March 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I was back in Indiana a few weekends ago when Sunday sales first went into effect. I went and bought a six pack just out of principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 This is a tough topic, or perhaps I have a problem. My answer would be very mood dependent. My favorite bourbon is probably Angel's Envy, though 1792 is my go to economical bourbon. Zombie Dust is an easy choice for a beer, though I love a cold Sunking Cream Ale on a warm day. And of course I can never turn down a nice Pinot, Merlot or Cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't drink the swill they sell here in the US for years after, as Russian stuff is just so, so much better. (Caveat, I'm a beer guy, but I like a really good Vodka). I remember Siberskaya, over there. It's not sold here. Btw, as I recall, the reason we have Smirnoff is due to an old Pepsi barter deal, addressing the hard currency challenge, Pepsi did a barter deal, Pepsi for Smirnoff. The Ruskii's got the better end of that deal. Smirnoff is some of their worst stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last couple of years when I have gone, Tsarskaya and Beluga have been popular in the stores. Tsarskaya is better than most anything we can get domestically, but Beluga is about twice the cost and worth the money. Very smooth! There is also a premium version of Beluga at about twice the standard version cost that I have not tried. You are right Russians do know how to make superior Vodka.

hoosiertildeath Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Nothing I have ever tasted since has equalled the fantastic taste of a Cold Burger Beer in Old Crosley Field in Cincinnati , Ohio , when I was there to see my Brooklyn / La Dodgers play the Reds !! Damn !! I wish I had a COLD Burger's right now ! I don't think you can find Burger beer anymore as Burger Beer Company was bought out by a LARGER Beer maker and just disappeared ????????????!

Colonialcrester Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Eagle Rare 17 year is the best Bourbon I've tasted. I think it is better than all the Pappy's. I like Zaya rum too. I don't drink beer at all anymore...maybe a shandy in the summer. Some of you may remember Hoosier Liquors and Bloomington Liquors. I used to work there in the 80's. Sad they sold out to big red.
