While craft beer is all the rage these days, I still like the big breweries. We recently had our Christmas party at our club (fee food, beer and wine). 😀 I enjoyed Stella on tap all evening. I'm a Bud Lite guy, but give me a Stella, Heinekin or Peroni if I want to splurge.
An English guy I play with recommended Fullers London Pride (bitter) at a British Pub in Tampa. Unfortunately they just carry the ESB version now. Too heavy for me.
Hard stuff. I like a good Martini. Used to be a Gin guy (Beefeater or Tanqueray), but switched to Vodka years ago. Usually go with Stoli, but if price is no factor Chopin (potato vodka) is the best IMO. Recently bought some Tito's and it seems fine. I like my Martini extra, extra dry (no vermouth).
When we lived up north this time of year was a good time for a single malt scotch. Brown liquor doesn't go well in Florida IMO. Don't need any artificial warming from a brown liquor buzz here in Florida. 😎
A Crown Royal Manhattan is very nice also.
