BGRH Xmas Drinkz List

DarkJager

I need help brothers. The Annual DJ Christmas Drink Stockpile (tm) shopping is due soon and this year I'd like to break away from my traditional list (Jagermeister, more jagermeister and slabs upon slabs of heineken). Can the brothers recommend some new or maybe unheard of drinks I can throw in the basket and sip on come the day itself?? I've got a budget of 200 euro for the drink so if its expensive but guaranteed to get me loco, spit it out!!!

Agent Smith

grab a slab of keineken, just to be on the safe side.

Goldschlager

It is like rohypnol!!

Slow Motion

Tiger beer or Grolch (sp?) are allways a good choice if you have the cash !

The Wychwood brews are great.

I love the Hobgoblin Ale.... they have a few seasonal brews too... so I want to try and get a bottle or two of them.

that new sweedish cider is nice as well

Kopparberg?

DarkJager

Kopparberg is very nice, too easy to drink though which results in ungodly hangovers the next day. I think I'll avoid the goldshlager types this year, drank a bottle of blue aftershock over the weekend and it didn't even give me a light head!!

I'm not looking forward to coming home and having to pay 3x-4x times the price of what I pay here for the same beer. Damn Irish tax system :mad:

Real Guinness ftw, not that Draught Can stuff.

Either the stubby longnecks, or pint bottles.

Beruthiel

This weekend I stocked up on 30 bottles of Faustino red wine. Might seem a tad excessive but if we get snowed in, I'm prepared.

Good old Faustino... A very dependable chap if ever there was one.

H.O.T.A.S.

Erdinger Dunkel, stand out in the crowd

Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum ... don't knock it till you've tried it.

Recommended to me by yer man with the schmig from the Fun Lovin' Criminals.
Absolutely and without doubt the most tasty and satisfying of spirits.

There is a bottled beer you get in good Asian restaurants ... I think it's called Tsing Tsao ... if you see any, please let me know.

Dun laoire

Do they still do Yella pack?

Quality

Their is also Sing whiskey from Thailand, I think it is full of amphetimines though!!

That stuff is great. I remember drinking sand buckets that contained a naggin of Sing, bottle of cola and a bottle of red bull. All for less that €2. Would be absolutely legless halfway through the third bucket! Great stuff

Agreed. Best way to drink it I find is with coke and a squeeze of a wedge of lime. Its bleedin delish.

In my house we have kind of a xmas day drinks ritual which you might be able to find some help in.

Glass or 2 of champagne (or bucks fizz for the wimmins) at about 11 AM.

Cocktails at 12 (usually Harvey Wallbangers but we have been known to deviate)

Its Beer time by 2 so a couple of cans of whatever the old man gets in. He is pretty good for getting nice exotic beers for me to sample.

Wine with dinner.

Feeling a bit sleepy after dinner so its a redbull and vodka or 2.

Then in the evening get tucked into the bottle of Jemmy ive conveniantly given to the old man as a xmas present just minutes earlier.

New beer in my local offy called Budejovicke 1795, very nice czech beer.
Erdinger, the regular one and the winter version.
Tsing tao, Singha,Kirin Ichiban, Maisels Weiss,Paulaner,Budvar, Leffe, Hoegaarden are all quite good beers and reasonably priced, except for the Leffe which is quite dear.

I also have spent manys a night on the Goblin, it has a chocolately taste (or so it says on the bottle, i can't really tell) and also results in many blackouts - must be the magic

the Ciricle Master is quite nice too, not mad on the fiddlers elbow though
