What's your poison??

Just a bit of fun - what's your favourite drink? The weekend's nearly here and it's often the time when one's thoughts turn to putting one's feet up with a glass (or 3) of one's favourite tipple? :)

Where's Guinness? :(

Regular tipples depending on venue (in no particular order); red wine, guinness, lager, bitter, vodka. Occasionally drink white wine or G'n'T dahling... oh and of course champagne :D Unfortunately my taste for this exceeds my income by a considerable margin so I'll make do with Pol Remy :wink:

I can't touch whiskey, brandy rum etc - the smell of them makes me want to hurl so there's no chance I could drink them.

If I had to choose just one though I think it'd have to be Guinness. Image

OK Adam, I've edited the poll choices :)

Silly of me really - I always drink Guinness in London as the bitter's so shite. We've large Irish population in Uxbridge so the Guinness ound these parts is very good indeed. :)

Richard - Bugger, I voted jizer in protest :lol:

Mick - Blacksheep in your absence it is then. I'm sure there'll be a September jaunt as well.

Richard ,

as you know I work for Coors Brewers (Formerly Bass) so I am a bit choosey with beer. It has to be browney colour & wet. There is no bad beer,just some better than others.

Has to be real ale or guinness followed by wine (don't care which colour) then sprits (nice G&T) as a freshener in one sitting of course. Only drink Larger if there is nothing else or on le continent.

Never touch a drop while out on the bike though.

How can one vote with those options? It only allows one choice! :?
Richard, could you add 'not' to the question, plleeeaasssee???

Depending on the day - Guiness, real ale, bitter, red/white wine, neat Tenessee/Kentucky whisky (the good stuff).

Have to side with Adam about scotch, though. I really can't abide it myself. Scrumpy has a similar effect but that's through over indulgence in Old Rosie followed by a rather unpleasant train ride from Bristol to Paddington. Now, I only have to smell it... urgh!

Reg,

Do Coors (Bass) still brew 'Breaker'? It was an excellent American style beer, similar to 'schlitz'.

Sad to say, I enjoy all of the above. Only exception would be 'Tia Maria' and exotic holiday liquours that don't quite taste the same when you get home. :|

I once made the aquaintance of a gentleman who espoused the vertues of hair laquer, meths and milk. I was unable to gleen any further information as he was engaged, huggng the tarmac like an 010! :cry:

Paul,
I think it is still on sale in our staff shop,I will find out who brews it and let you know.It is one of those beers that you drink a lot of quite easily,but then find your legs won`t work.
