If I go to the pub with people, I will buy beer. That is supposedly what I'm meant to drink. I'm not a big admirer of the taste though if I'm to be honest. I know some people who will buy a few cans for when they get home. I've never really been interested in drinking at home. I would prefer to have something else.

I assume people who golf this opinion haven't tried the right beer.
Well, indeed.

Yeah, that's pretty great too
Plus it has all those nice/fancy flavours. I don't think I've ever had more than one before, but I shall heed your advice.Nope.
Tried quite a few different types of beer. All of them were terrible.
lol, not sure if this was a joke or not, but it made me chuckle

I love Guinness. I haven't had it in Ireland, but I've had it at an Irish pub in Schwetzingen, Germany, run by a real live Irishman.
There are a number of good local breweries here (also a number of terrible major-brand breweries).
The bottles are terrible. The fancy cans with the ping-pong ball inside are pretty good.

Man Throwing Stuff were ridiculous yesterday. Moreso than usual.
Note: The floor was covered in dust from destroyed custard creams
I love beer. And whisky. Whisky is good. I'm just getting into it but I tried an excellent one yesterday. Hibiki 12 years. Fucking awesome stuff. I'll be getting a bottle of that sometime next year. Back to the beer, I'm a huge fan of wheat beer and most kind of ales. Lager I'm less enthusiastic about but there are some good ones there as well. Mariestad is my favourite lager. Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier is my go-to wheat beer and is almost always among my picks when I want to treat myself to some tasty stuff. Among the ales I haven't developed a real favourite yet, I'm still looking for that special someone.
But whisky, nom.

Cider is nice in the summer when it's really warm, but 9 times out of 10 beer wins.
oh and pale ale fucking suuuuuuuucks

I have tried beers, I've tried lagers, I've tried meads.
I'm sorry, but it all kinda taste the same - bitter liquid bread/yest drink.
Cider is okay.

I don't mind cider that much, but then that is quite sweet. A couple of glasses of red wine after a meal is nice. Also, a glass of Baileys is nice at Christmas.
I was trying to watch the VGA Awards, but it was doing my fucking head in. It's like they set out to make the most 'awesome' show possible. Instead of actually being awesome, it was more like watching someone's interpretation of what is awesome. It just felt really contrived and forced. It was handled with all the subtlety of a brick in the face. Like the award show equivalent of a Michael Bay movie. Explosions going off every five minutes. lol
The question must have been asked, how do we make this VGA better than the last? And someone said, "You know what would be really awesome? If we had Samuel L. Jackson as the host and have him say 'motherfucker' a lot". Of course that would give the show attitude. It would would make it seem 'hip' to the younger audience. So basically the whole show is like that. It's like the show is shouting out to you, "look how cool I am!" every minute, and you're like, "Yes I heard you the first time!". :/

And this is why spiced rum wins.
The video game industry blows like most other major industries.I don't mind cider that much, but then that is quite sweet. A couple of glasses of red wine after a meal is nice. Also, a glass of Baileys is nice at Christmas.

I don't know. The Oscars is handled with a bit of class. The video game awards is more like a young kid looking for attention.
Yeah. The BAFTAs has always been an understated affair. They're never trying to outdo anybody.
Speaking of the Oscars, the year 'Slumdog Millionaire' won was probably the best I have ever seen. Incredible production. It was just unbelievably well done that year. It was a pity there weren't really any great movies that year to make it worthwhile. lol

This years vga's was just incredibly boring and not even worth it for any of the reveals(not that it ever is but this year wasnt even particular cringeworthy and horrible, just really boring) , there was little to no awards actually give out during the show.
Wouldn't know. I stopped at the sketch where Samuel L. Jackson was the president of "the motherfucking world!".

Games industry in a nutshell.
Seriously, the industry has a collective intelligence of a 12 year old. Easily the most immature of industries.
Well the majority of the games industry consists of manchildren right now. We'll have to wait decades before it actually grows up I think.
And no one else likes whisky here?
Love a good whiskey. Don't like whiskey that's too sweet. For example, that Jack Daniels Honey whiskey, bleh.
In response to gaming industry I present the comic industry. Just as bad, worse in some cases.
That's an Islay whisky right? So you like the peat and smokey stuff.
I haven't tried many whiskeys yet, I've mainly been tasting whiskies from Scotland. Any good suggestions?

Aye it is, and yeah I really do love my whisky peaty. The 'peaty' bottles I am currently owning are Ardbeg 10, Ardbeg Supernova, Bowmore 12 and Laphroaig Cask strenght
Non-peaty: Highland Park 12 and The Glenlivet Nadurra

I think the're both as bad tbh. The large disparity between women and men in those industries (and the consumer circle) slants things far too much towards muscled macho men and big tittied sex objects. In general it seems to me that the larger a company is the more guilty they become of perpetuating that stereotype. They really need to "grow up" and I'm not sure it can happen until more females gets involved as members of the industry and as consumers.
I've got Bowmore 12 myself, it's very nice and helps clearing up the nose just by smelling it. Highland Park is another whisky I want to own, I've tasted the 18 year one but it was before I really started to appreciate whisky so I want to give it one more try. And everyone I've talked to praises it so it seems like a good whisky to have either way. I really do recommend the Hibiki 12 if you haven't tried it yet. It has a wonderful taste to it!

I should post a picture of my partner's Scotch cabinet in the 'show off your girlfriend' thread. Not that I drink it.
You mean you got a small brewery set up at home? Sounds awesome! What flavours did you put in?
On a completely different note, when I got out from work the seat of my bike had two big icicles on it. It only took 8 hours for that to happen. That's how fun it is to have snow where you live.

Well, its my first batch. I'm a newbie so I haven't gone too far out of my realm of comfort. I've got a batch of Irish Ale fermenting currently which should be ready for bottling in about 2 weeks. I want to get comfortable with the whole process before I start making things like Chocolate Raspberry Stout or anything crazy like that.
Oh, and "brewery" is overselling it by a long shot. I have a 5 gallon pot I boiled the wort in, I have a 7 gallon fermenter bucket, a 7 gallon carboy for secondary and bottles. That's about the extent of my "brewery"
I'm still waiting for an opinion you hold that I outright disagree with.
Haha yeah "brewery" is a bit of an exaggeration then, but it's still cool that you're trying to do that on your own. You need to show us some pics of the finished product later!
Therapy has been going quite well, my therapist is super great. First one I feel like I can be entirely honest around.
We're finally getting into my desire to be an artist despite how terrible I am at art in general. It's the one thing I've thought about doing for a living my entire life. So now she wants me to draw something for her based on my interests in life. I'm scared it'll be shitty :< but I'm starting it at some point today.

Of course it won't be very good, but that's to be expected. Nobody is an expert when they start something; you learn by doing.
