Title: Beer vs. Bourbon
Post by: peanut butter puddin surprise on Nov 16, 2005, 12:58 PM
Okay you alcoholics out there...gimme your vote if you had to choose one over the other, which would you go with?

How about if you were stuck on a desert island...which one would you go with??

I'm voting bourbon...

You must be from Chicago, because that's what I would choose too, pal.

I would prefer a single malt scotch but that's not a choice so I'll go with the bourbon.

29 Days without Bourbon makes one...weep!  We need to lift that ban on export to Canada so we can get you on the Knob Creek train... ;)

i really dont like more than a few beers, so i dont mind the fact im left craving more and more.  i love Newkie because you can drink it out of a fucking plastic cup, and it still tastes delicious.  not many beers can compete with that.

Knee-jerk reaction:  Beer

But in the long run, I'd be more inclined to say bourbon.  Although beer is more filling and I imagine on a desert island, the menu would be sort of light and not vegetarian friendly.

I'm sticking with bourbon I think.

I would take bourbon, and then mix beer into it for a mixture I like to call "bourbeer".  Patent pending.

thats quite an idea there.  similar in pronunciation, berber carpet would go well with your invention since it absorbs stains so well, for those, you know, sloppy nights.

HAHAHA!!!  awesome.

Golden Shores, there's Labatt's.  Actually, what you guys call Labatt's, we call "Blue", because Labatt's has a lot of different kinds of beers.  I always find that funny when American pals come and visit.  They always want Labatt's, and I say "Blue"? and they don't know what I mean.

Anyhow, my favourite Canadian beers are:
Keiths
Moosehead
Mill Street Organic
Mill Street Coffee Porter
La Maudite
Creemore
Steamwhistle

hmmmm  ...

Hey, even some of the popular American brands are brewed in Canada by Canadian brewers. Coors is made by Molsons and Bud is Labatts. The big difference is that they are stronger in alcohol content than they are in the States. No matter where they are brewed, they both suck.

My favourite Canadian brands are:

Canadian
Keith's
Rickard's Red
Moosehead
Cool
MacCauslin Pale Ale

Hey EC,

Cool is made by the same folks that make Buzz beer. You can get it on tap for $2.40 a glass ( US pint-size ) at the NY Cafe on Broadview & Danforth. It's a good restaurant and a good beer.

Crazy!  I love the Danforth, too.  Favourite places include:
World of Cheese
Dora's (I miss that pub being so close)
Thuna herbs (I'm a hippie, so, you know)
Carrot Common (see above)
Stanley's.  Have you ever gone there on karaoke night?  I know it's probaby the skiddest bar in Toronto, but they have the best karaoke. ever.

I like the World Of Cheese too.

Stanley's closed four months ago. I went to karaoke there twice - didn't sing because she didn't have any MMJ songs for me to butcher.

I shop at the Carrot Common a lot. I go to the Big Carrot.

Favourite pub in the winter is the Auld Spot. The OId Nick for convernience and I love the NY Cafe for the atmosphere and good food.... and cheap beer.

There are almost no bad pubs of restaurants on the Danforth, except Terry O's and The Black Swan ( downstairs ).
Title: Re: Beer vs. Bourbon
Post by: EC on Nov 16, 2005, 03:15 PM
Stanley's is closed?   :'(
Oh no.  I had a lot of good times there.  

Okay, when you're at the Big Carrot, does the short dude with the really long dreads still work there?  I remember he had a smile that is probably in my top five smiles.

Ah, The Auld Spot.  I had a couple of very good dates there.  Have you ever had their white wine mussels?  They're splendid.

And The Old Nick.  Me and an old friend used to go there probably once a week for a long time.

The only place I hate on the Danforth is that ladies' clothing store in the Common.  b) it's not an environmentally friendly store, and b) the girls who work there are JERKS.  Erietta's.  

Also, I like the Black Swan.  But I don't think I've ever been downstairs...  (Just upstairs for the muuuuusic.)
Title: Re: Beer vs. Bourbon
Post by: Jaimoe on Nov 16, 2005, 03:27 PM
EC:

I don't like mussels so I've never tried that there. The Auld Spot does have a good menu however.

The Black Swan is really a dive downstairs. It's funny: I was in Clarksdale Mississippi last February and a bartender at Morgan Freeman's juke joint, Ground Zero, goes to the Swan when she visits Toronto. It's a small world.

The dread guy is still there. I've never seen that smile.
