Combine those beers!

[imaguitargod]

When I just want to get drunk and don't want to spend the money, I buy cheep but strong beer. The problem is that it tastes horrible.....that's when I combine beers! I usually buy a forty ounce of Magnum (7% abv) for $2.50 and combine it with one bottle (I think it's 16.9 ounces at 7.2% abv) of Optimator for $2.15. Drink it in a 1-2 hour span and that'll just about do it.

What do you guys do?

[dreamtheatervt]

Some gins are as cheap as $5 for a fifth...if you don't mind drinking stuff that tastes like pine needles. I don't go that cheap, but usually shots do the trick for me. It's cost effective in the long run. Panama Jack Spiced Rum is really good, it goes down much smoother than Capt. Morgan, and they are about the same price.

[Hillbilly Chili]

When I mix my Bud with Bud.... It still taste the same bro.
I'm still not peeing though, incase ross is watching out there:-)

[sevver]

Two shots of each, Vodka, Gin, Tequila, TripleSec, Rum, a shot of Sweet and Sour mix, and a dash of coke. Add to a 32oz glass with ice and a straw.

Repeat the above at least 4 times. Always does the trick for me.

Sorry, but I generally only like a beer after a good day of 90degree heat and working outside. And if it is not "Chilled to Perfection" then forget it.

[Skydiver]

Shenanigans!

I have a bottle of Wild Turkey I use when I wanna tie one on, WT and Dr. Pepper is my poison of choice. Throw a shot of nyquil in there and let the good times roll...right off the couch to pass out on the floor.

Beer, for me, is something to savor.

[imaguitargod]

Ok, let me clarify, what's your BEER COMBO. If it's a hard liqour combo then that's just a regular drink.

[GreenHot]

I don't drink it since it gets me waaaaay too pissed but snakebite is good if you want to get drunk. Beer + Cider (Hard cider). It's been banned in many many pubs here in the UK because of just how drunk people who drink it get.

[xgrafcorex]

i thought this thread was gonna be about black & tans haha. if i want to get trashed i usually just buy something cheap and suck it up. i used to drink a lot of malt liquor so i'm pretty used to not very good tasting beverages.

another thing i do as far as combining beers is say i don't have too much but want to have something good...and still get a buzz going...buy a 6 pack of something really cheap like high life..then something from the higher end. (that publix carries at least) the price ends up about the same as a 12 of yuengling.

I usually use Natural light or Low Life for shop beer....every once in a while i'll spike the a bottle with some cheap vodka...talk about a rough mix. It'll definitely ruffle your fur.

[chuk hell]

When I was young and crazy like Mr. Passow, I used to mix malt liquor ( usually King Cobra or "The Bull") with Mad Dog 20/20. I had read this was George Clinton's drink of choice. After waking up vomiting every morning it finally hit me that this was not such a good idea.

These days I can afford good beer so I don't really have a need to mix 'em. If I do it's a Black and Tan or, on occasion I'm feeling especially fancy, a Black Velvet. No, that's not cheap Canadian whisky, it's 1/2 Guinness and 1/2 champagne.

[ross]

i never mix beer. you sir, are a sinner.

as for a cheap buzz, go get some night train. its 17.5% wine thats $2.50 per bottle and it will make you feel like a train wreck.

or i go for scoresby scotch. its about 9 dollars a fifth, and its actually really good blended scotch - it just costs so much less because it is bottled in the USA and not in scotland. i remember my local liquor store was running specials on pints of scoresby, 3.75 per pint. yeah i bought a lot of those..

haha i wouldn't go that far! :P while its not my scotch of choice...its decent and the price isn't too bad, though its not the cheapest ...but who wants the cheapest scotch anyway? heh. j & b is my usual choice, but one of these days i plan on trying some of the more expensive and older stuff.

If i'm doing Scotch, it's got to be at least Glenfiddich or Glenlivet...although i have had Blue Label once, and it was damn good indeed...better than the other two by far, but the "Glens" are much more affordable.

blue is over-priced. and its blended. granted its like 25 year old blends...i still dont like it better than single malt. ive had macallan 18 and 25, and i prefer the 18, but my favorite scotch is glenmorangie, or cragannmore. both will run you about 45 a botte, with the specialized glenmorangies running 55-60 a pop.

how can you drink j&b? go get some scorseby and give it a try. j&b goes down like water.. way too easy to drink , it doesnt have near the flavor or anything, shit its about 18 a fifth isnt it? get a fifth of famous grouse. its about the same price, and its way better than j&b.

[xgrafcorex]

grouse is pretty good. not too long ago i bought a bottle that came with a nice glass that i drink all of my liquor from.

today i picked up a 1.75 of bushmills irish whiskey. never had it before that i can recall.

just had some monty python holy grail ale...it was alright but i bought it more out of novelty.

I dig the single-malts way more than any blends, but blue is still pretty good. And yeah, it's way f'ing over-priced!

[DevilDuck]

Mixing beers? WTF????

The only time I do that is when I order a Black & Tan (Guiness and Bass).

[sevver]

Come Out Ye Black and Tans

was born on a Dublin street where the Royal drums do beat
And the loving English feet they tramped all over us,
And each and every night when me father'd come home tight
He'd invite the neighbors outside with this chorus:

Oh, come out you black and tans,
Come out and fight me like a man
Show your wives how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away,
From the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra.

Come let me hear you tell
How you slammed the great Pernell,
When you fought them well and truly persecuted,
Where are the smears and jeers
That you bravely let us hear
When our heroes of sixteen were executed.

Come tell us how you slew
Those brave Arabs two by two
Like the Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows,
How you bravely slew each one
With your sixteen pounder gun
And you frightened them poor natives to their marrow.

The day is coming fast
And the time is here at last,
When each yeoman will be cast aside before us,
And if there be a need
Sure my kids wil sing, "Godspeed!"
With a verse or two of Steven Beehan's chorus.

Listen Here. (http://www.soundclick.com/util/streamm3u.m3u?id=3405862&q=lo)

I recommend signing up for all your favorite booze e-mail or fan clubs. Makers Mark let me label a barrel. Glenmorangie gave me a taste of scotch that sells for $1500 a bottle. Dalmore fed me and got me drunk. Knob Creek fed me and got me drunk twice. Johnny Walker has taken me to tastings 4 times now. Van Gogh vodka sends me promo stuff in the mail. Most of the other cheapies send coupons.

hey ross (or anyone that knows aboug aging beer), i picked up a 4 pack of pranqster yesterday and the guy at the store mentioned it was a beer you could age and it would taste better. i drank one just to try it (not really my favorite style of beer) but i wanted to save the others. i was planning on drinking another in a few months, another in a year, and another sooner or later depending on the how the other two go. i don't know anyone around here with a cellar..being a few feet above sea level doesn't help..so i was gonna just leave it in my closet or the fridge. what are the ideal conditions for its storage? thanks.


edit...anyone know where i could buy some St. Ambroise oatmeal stout? someone i talk to on another forum has been telling me how good it is, but they don't sell it in florida according to my local good beer store. the beer is from quebec, but it is sold in the states too(just not this one i guess). if anyone has it available to them, maybe we could work out some kind of trade or something?

[chuk hell]

Leave 'em in the fridge if you have room.

[xgrafcorex]

thanks! i just hope none of my roommates or any other people that come over grab them.. ha maybe i'll tape a sign to them that says do not drink. :lol:

ok.. first part. pranqster. you could age it, i suppose, but it begs the question of why? its techically a belgian strong, but in all likelyhood it is really a belgian witbier, a very strong one (7%ish?), and these do not improve with age. if you want beer that will improve with age, go with stouts (big ones, imperial stouts), barley wines, lambics (not kriek), and belgian strongs / quads. there are other styles that should age - belgian tripels and dubbels, but why? aging is also slowed a good deal by keeping the beer in sub 40 degree temps (see - refridgerator) and is progressed faster by aging in 70+ (see - room temp). so if you are serious about aging beers, you should invest in a little cooler that will allow you to keep beers at 55 degrees. if its not that big of a deal to you, then keep it in the fridge or on a book case.

by the way, when people say: improves with age... that doesnt mean 1 month. improves with age means several years. i would see no reason to keep pranqster around for more than 2 days. since you bought that, you should have access to north coast old stock ale 2006 and old rasputin. the old stock ale should be good for 10 years, so if you really want to see what aging a beer will do, put that one in the back of your closet and forget about it and when you are cleaning your closet in 6 years, you will see it. feel free to ask any more questions regarding aging and i should be able to answer you.


second half: st ambroise is not sold in america. i dont know where you got that info from - i am pretty sure you cant buy it in the states. if you CAN buy it, you would find it in the very top of michigan and some obscure parts of new york. its very good stuff, pretty unique and well worth seeking out. the way to do it, would be to join up either ratebeer.com or beeradvocate.com and suggest a trade. you will have to ship across the border so there could be transaction problems, but if everything works out smooth you can get it pretty easily.

i just traded some beer and got some the other day. ill be trading to canada to my friend again in a few months, so if you would like a bottle, i can perhaps help your situation. ;)

[ross]

Leave 'em in the fridge if you have room.

beers will not age in the fridge per say.

the whole point in aging a beer is for the hop profile to die down some, thus making it more balanced and drinkable. if you put a beer - say a huge barley wine that is hoppy as hell - it will not improve much in a matter of 3 years. (improve meaning the hops will subside (bitterness) and the malts (sugars) will come to life more, thus balancing the beer out)

if you put that same beer in 70 degree temps (room temp) in 3 years it should be fantastic.

the best beer i can think of to undergo the aging process is simply sierra nevada bigfoot. sure, there are much better beers to age, but this is all over the USA, sold in six packs, cheap, AND it will improve with age. it is also a huge hop bomb of a beer. fresh off the palate this beer is raw, bitter, and offensive (i really like it), but once it has had 3 years in the bottle is becomes a tad sweeter, a little more round, smooth, just damn good.

point is. beer ages slower in colder temps. if you really wanna get that yeast working, put it in your closet!

[chuk hell]

Well, that's not gonna work down here where summertime temps top 100º for months at a time...the temperature in the house is often over 90. I guess I'm just SOL on the aging deal unless I invest in a wine cellar.


But,

I did try a 2003 Old Stock the other day that I've kept in the fridge for most of it's life and I do have to say that it mellowed nicely. It was wonderful...are you saying they won't age AT ALL in a fridge? I find that hard to believe.

Also, the fridge I use for beer is a secondary...kind of old and crappy and probably holds at about 40-42º...and most likley higher than that in the summer because it is usually in an unrefrigerated environment ( it's in my studio) and has to work harder...probably hovers around 46-48...or higher, in the summer. I wouldn't attempt to keep food in it. I notice the "regular" everyday drinking beers...( lagers, pilsners, etc. ) are never cold enough out of there in the warm months...I usually have to stick 'em in the freezer for awhile before drinking them.

[chuk hell]

That said, I may move some of the beers in the house for the winter months and when the heat coms back ( like March here (!) ) , move them back to the "beer vault".

no. i said they age SLOWER in a fridge. not that they dont age period. your 48 degree cooler would be ideal for aging anything you have. as 50-55 is the perfect temperature to age and actually drink beer (not macros, pilsners, etc).

the only beers i drink cold are cheap ones, ipas, double ipas (kinda a nono), pilsners, hefewiezens, and american wheat beers.

drinking a stout at 35 degrees is like pissing in the wind - what is the point?

Ok...all good then!

thanks. i chose that one because the guy at the store recommended it as one you could keep away for a while. its 7.6% ..i know they have the old rasputin, but not sure what other ncbc beers are available. the rasputin is really good, though i've never kept any for very long. :lol: they have a handful of imperial stouts, i guess i'll try it with one of those.

well if you can get a bottle or two from your friend up north, i'd appreciate that a lot and would pay your or trade you for it...maybe there is some florida beer that doesn't get distributed out of the state or something.

you should have access to north coast old stock ale 2006


took your advice today after i got out of work...just caught the 4 packs of old stock ale in the corner of my eye. going to drink one as a base, and i've stashed the others as far back into my closet as i can so i forget about them.

for tonight i bought some saint bridget's porter from great divide brewing co., and a bottle of rogue's monk madness ale. so far i've only opened up a bottle of the porter which is nice. i guess i tasted roasted hops? and a hint of cream or chocolate.

i think you will enjoy the OSA (i hope).

anything from great divide is pretty good. im not crazy about their raspberry ale, but the rest are good.

the monk madness hasnt gotten very good reviews, and i have not even seen it - thus i havent drank it. let me know what you think of it.

make sure to stash some old stock ale, as hard as it may be, they improve alot. also, make sure you drink it from a wine glass or a snifter, whichever you may have.

my first sips of the one osa i did drink to see how it was before it gets older were a bit strong for my taste..but i got used to it i guess and it was fine for the rest of the beer. can definitely see why people use the term "mellow out" in regards to the flavor.

the porter from great divide was damn good..i'll be trying out some of their other offerings available to me.

yea i can see why the reviews for the monk madness aren't great. it was good, don't get me wrong, but i would say it is one of my least favorite brews i've tasted from rogue. it might even be at the bottom...but it was still good haha. worth a try i would say. i think my first try was my last. dead guy is way better!

the osa is as far back in my closet as it can go. i plan on forgetting about it and finding it when i move out of this house finally. hah it is tempting as i close in on my last sierra nevada pale ale though.

[chuk hell]

I love that Old Stock. Great stuff.

I usually drink about half of what I buy and tryto age the rest.

[ross]

man, i drank a good bit of beer this weekend. ill post my thoughts on some of them tomorrow. one highlight was standing in the parking lot passing a fifth of capt morgans private stock around with daniel (best friend) seth (daniels best man) and daniels dad at 145 in the morning after shooting pool all night. was quite entertaining. the first wedding i have actually been a groomsman in. now, at 1am i am back home, eating some cheese and chips with the legend. :mouthonfire:

[chuk hell]

That Cap'n Morgan's Private Stock is mighty tasty.

We had a party saturday. My friend David brought over a bunch of beers he bought in Belgium that you can't get in the states. One was called Troll...I think. (!)

We drank many a fine beer that night...I had a 2 day hangover!

[xgrafcorex]

ouch! sounds like fun though, before the hangover.

tonight i bought a 6 pack of rogue mocha porter. first time ever trying it, but i like it. not my favorite rogue beer though. also got a bottle of oak aged yeti imperial stout. i haven't opened that yet though. beer advocate says i could cellar it for a long time under the right conditions..but i was kinda planing to drink this one and maybe try aging one later.

[xgrafcorex]

well i normally don't combine any of my beers..but a friend that we haven't seen in a year or two came down and bought some guinness and hornsby's cider to make some "black velvets" honestly, i thought it sounded very strange at first..but it was surprisingly drinkable. you pour the cider first (slowly) then the guinness on top (also slowly). they mix a little i guess...but you can see a definite line between the two. wasn't so great that i'm already planning on trying it again or anything..but if i did, i would play around with a better stout and a different cider.

since we were mixing those and i bought a 12 of sierra nevada pale ale...i said what the hell and bought some sn stout to make some black and tans. they were pretty tasty! i'm sure there are better combinations out there..but this was the first time i've ever made my own. other than that i've only had the yuengling version which i would say isn't as good as using sn.

[Sickmont]

Best way i've found to "combine" alcohol is either make boilermakers or Irish car bombs. Do 2 or 3 quickly in a row then hold the f**k on.

[JayT]

Getting back to Jon's original question, I usually buy some really good beer (just bought a case of Thirsty Dog Siberian Night Imperial Stout love that stuff!) and have some other cheaper beer. Drink a couple of good ones then switch to the cheaper stuff after you already have your buzz.

[hudd]

I usually go for a case of Little Kings Cream Ale. Suck down a case of those little 7 ouncers for 10 bucks and off you go.

[rabbit]

If I want to get drunk quicker off of a beer I just drink Molson XXX's. They taste good, cost just a little more, but have a 7.6% alchol content. Honestly I don't usually drink to get totally wasted anymore. I think I've done it waaaaaaay to much in the past. A little buzz is good for me. If I really want to get drunk, Jack and coke, shots of Jager, Jack on the rocks, or substitute your rum and coke with 151. That will do the trick alot quicker;)

miller high life light is my main cheap beer. it gets expensive drinking a lot of really good beer, not to mention not the best for you health wise when trying to burn off some of the ol' beer gut.

i always felt guilty after i went running then would sit down and have a double chocolate stout or some beer of that nature. :rolleyes:
