im drinking yuengling lager & vodka and eating delicious polish food. Viva POLONIA .
@Fischtix "A couple of pints…or as we call em in the states 12oz bottles…of Magic Hat Black as Night Winter Lager. really nice dark lager…hella malty! " Those would be a couple of halves. In England a pint is 20 oz.
A pint is 16 oz here.
I’ve yet to find an actual American pint in the bottle…just 12 oz, 20 oz bombers, n deuce deuces. Got pint cans tho.
Firestone’s Velvet Merlin. Despite the silly name, a wonderful Oatmeal Stout.
Holy CRAP!!! I haven’t had Firestone since I left California!!! My favorite was the Double Barrel Ale. From what I understand they bought the old SLO brewery on the south end of Paso Robles…they make a damn fine brew. I’m mixin it up 2nite…Fat Tire Amber, Sierra Nevada Pale, and Magic Hat Not Quite Pale. (not mixed together of course) 
The Fat Tire is the best by far!
+1 for the Double Barrel Ale It’s a shame that Firestone has such shoddy distribution. I used to be able to find most, though never all, of their brews when I was living in SF.
Got some Heineken in the 5 liter baby keg…pretty decent. It’s definitely better than from the bottle!
Got some Stella Artois goin on tonight…pretty decent gor mass produced Belgium lager.
Wife beater Stella?!? You can do better than that! I know its not a pint, but ive had some sherry 
ERDINGER WEISSBRÄU.
@SnuffHead , did you have it in an Erdinger glass, the tall ones? Its a glorious beer.
@Koba22…I can do better…but not much! It’s slim pickins at the grocery stores in my town…and the only shop that we had strictly for beer closed due too lack of business. The wealthy that come from from family money and the nouveau riche in this lil southern town both prefer their fine wines. There’s not much of a market for quality brews. The closest store with a nice vatiety is about an hour away, and I just didn’t have the time or energy last night. It’s starting to look like it’s time to start brewing my own!
@ Koba, sure did. But there is Oranjeboom in there now. 
@SnuffHead , good man, I’ve got a couple myself, they accidentally fell into my pockets when I was in an Austrian bar in Spain oddly enough…
Oranjeboom is delicious SnuffHead! The brew shop that we used to had carried it, an it was one of my favorites, along with Hoegaarden(sp).
its not a pint, but I tried to drink Absinthe today. Took a sip from the bottle and it was everything I could do to get the vile stuff down. It finally gets legalized here in the US and its -that- ugh, I feel cheated. And they made me buy 2 bottles due to state law which was reasoned and I quote “You can drink a bottle of the stuff and it won’t turn up on a breathalyser. So you have to buy two.”
I would like to say Thwaites best bitter but its just about unheard of in London pubs, apart from that pretty much any decent draught beer.
In my pint glass tonight was Chestnut Mild. Tomorrow night it will be a real ale called Pride of Pendle, a brew from Lancashire. Stefan
@Yoru there’s an “art” to drinking absinthe…you don’t drink it straight from the bottle. You place an absinthe spoon on the rim of an absinthe glass, a sugar cube on the spoon, and slowly dribble the absinthe over the sugar cube ubtil the bulb on the glass is full and the sugar is disolved. Plus you have to be careful…several of the brands sold in the US aren’t real absinthe. Plus to add to all that, you really need to have a taste for it. And, whatever you do, no flame should be involved…that’s just theatrical BS!
