Re: Official Drinking Thread: 7&7s for Everyone!

Something I just learned: in South Korea, a shot glass is 60 mL, which is larger than a double shot glass in some countries.

I just bought a 6 pack of the Guinness Black Lager. Will try it and report back.

Had some over the weekend, it was NPB. Tasted pretty much like you'd expect - Guinness done as a lighter lager. An OK replacement for SA Black Lager, since I refuse to drink SA products anymore.

I was in Seoul in April, and I was definitely pleased that the whiskey pours were better than most other places in Asia. But 60ml? :eek: Dang!

Once again, Elijah Craig proves to be a fine bourbon for the price.

Which is on sale for $18 at Haskell's right now. And Basil Hayden? $25. Maker's 46? $30.

I would recommend visiting there for the fall sale.

I bought a wine rack the other day. Put my bottles of bourbon on it. Thats how I roll.

Meh. I don't consider the Guinness Black Lager a red-headed stepchild to the Stout in any way. It's such a completely different beer it needs to be reviewed in its own light and I very much approve.

So if I'm thinking, "I could use a Guinness about now," could I get the lager anyway?
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: 7&7s for Everyone!

I thought the Guinness Black Lager was pretty good. It was super smooth, which makes sense given Guinness' rep for broad appeal. I doubt I'd get it again though. It was a good dark lager, but nothing to separate it from others in the genre. Given the choice, I'd stay more local and cheaper and go with Leinie's Creamy Dark, which I love.

No. Asking for, "Guinness" will probably always (and for good reason) default to the stout, but I've seen the BL on tap much more often lately and bought a sixer more than a few times. It can't replace a legend, but imho in its own right the BL is a fine beer.

Ok, that I have had. Good reference point. That being said, I'll have it on tap somewhere, to try, but not spend the money to buy a sixer.

And might I say, that Sprecher's Scotch Ale is high on the favorable list. Doesn't top Orkney Skull Splitter, but it's close.
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: 7&7s for Everyone!

I like the Leine Creamy Dark and eff the SA haters I like their Black Lager.

I don't hate SA, but I have yet to find a beer that stands out, in any style. The winter beer (whatever it's called) is the closest, and that's only because it is way better than any other SA beer.
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: 7&7s for Everyone!

Meh. Black Lager, Fezziwig, Holiday Porter, Wee Heavy, Imperials, Saison and Kolsch are at least very good.
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: 7&7s for Everyone!

Bought an 18-year Glenmorangie at Top Valu the other day. Retails for about $140 but they had it on sale for $80. I couldn't resist.
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: 7&7s for Everyone!

Sipping a very nice Tullamore Dew tonight. Sometimes, though, the word is Tullamore Don't. ;)

Cheers!
