What Are You Drinking Tonight? - Page 10

I've identified LaBatts ice in 24oz cans to be the cheapest ticket to buzztown. You get 12 for $11.99. That's like 50c per regular 12oz can. It's 5.1%abv.

drink 2 quickly and you're on your way.

BigV · 11-28-2013, 09:08 AM

if you're not enjoying the taste, it's... medicine. sometimes that's the ticket, but I drink because I like the taste far more than I like the buzz. I strongly prefer IPAs but I occasionally like a lager, if it goes with the meal, or it's hot outside (like lawnmower beer).

I love Ninkasi's Tricerahops Double IPA, and Fremont Brewery's Interurban IPA. Ninkasi is an outfit in Eugene, Oregon, the new center of the universe for hops and hop growing.

Tricerahops -

(the name, I know nothing of the beverage)

Gravdigr · 11-28-2013, 02:22 PM

We need an alcoholic beverage that tastes like Whoppers.

I am disappoint in all your beer deprecations.

and by the way, beer doesn't like the way you taste, either. :pfft:

Merlot tonight. From a box!

glatt · 12-04-2013, 06:44 AM

We usually have a box of merlot sitting on top of the microwave. Black Box wines aren't half bad, and as good as many of the inexpensive bottle wines at the $8-9 mark for half the price. I'm looking at you, Barefoot and Yellow Tail.

Lately we found a delicious red wine at Trader Joes, imported from Italy. I think it's really pretty good. We bought a case and would get more, but they have since sold out. Only $4 a bottle for that one.

Edit: I forgot to add, it was the Vola Sangiovese. It really tastes like a good $25 bottle of wine. Pick a bottle up if you see one. And then go back for a case when you realize how good it is.

I've revisited this thread for other reasons but find myself compelled to reply to this post. (I believe) I independently discovered this wine. It's *delicious*! I don't remember reading this post but I sure do remember this wine. Get some, a case is not overkill.

glatt · 03-04-2014, 10:07 AM

It was back in stock, and we bought another case.

I love this wine. It is so yummy (and cheap!) If they keep it in stock, then we can just pick up a case every couple months when we are there. Otherwise I feel like we should hoard it.

We found a French red like this there -L'Authentique. Also about $4. Also in and out of stock so I buy it by the case, although we don't drink wine all that often. but it's really good.
