How many calleries are in beer or liquar?
Beer tends to have more then liquer. I found a extra oatmeal stout that had 620 C per pint. Yes, thats a whole meal by itself.
I think that there is about at least 160 calories per acoholic beverage.

A group of men drank beer under scientific conditions. When tested, they exhibited female like responses.
They drove much worse.
They babbled on and on.
They were less coordinated.
It was concluded beer contains female hormones.

Hahaha....well I guess thats why dudes have beer bellys
Wifey says Red Stripe upsets her stomach, so rubbed some salt in the bottleneck and it's my job to finish a six-pack. Normally, I like Heineken, Carlsburg, Corona with lime, and for those special occasions Ron Medellin. :D :p So watchya drinkin' tonight?
And Uhh... never drink before you train, beer before liquor never sicker, and do you like to knock back a cold one after practice? I don't drink most days but a beer can be good after an evening workout.

Ah, the subject of true martial arts. My Shuai Chiao teacher kept a fridge in his basement dedicated only to beer. A true hero.
My longest running student is in town this weekend, so it's "Bridgeport Porter", an Oregon microbrew that I find very tasty, followed by Bass Ale, a perennial favorite. I actually prefer Newcastle Brown Ale, but it a.)tends to go stale in those clear bottles and b.) has unfortunate side effects on the, um, back end.
My fridge was recently depleted by various guests of Asahi extra dry, Dogtown pale ale and IPA (a Northern California micro brew), as well as some Moosehead and Boddington's cream ale.
Asw you can see, my beer drinking style is focused on darker, hoppier brews. Which I find superior in technique to Pilsners or Lagers.
I used to like all them micro-brews, but I changed my tastes a little when I travelled south of many borders to the tropics, I prefer a clear beer especially in the Summer. I have been in the Chzeck (sic) Republic and had great Pilsen, in Amsterdam had the best Heineken, Germany and Austria had their lagers and I also like wheat beer. Too bad I didn't do far more drinking when I was in Europe - well, maturity will serve me well in the future.
All the same I will have to come over to your (MS2) place one day and drink all of your beer. ;)
To paraphrase Ben Franklin-
beer is god's way of letting us know that we are loved and we are to be happy.
peace
And as the poet said...
"Malt does more than Milton can
To justify God's ways to Man."
Anyway, tonight I have Red Seal Ale, which is pretty typical of what I like. I prefer a beer I can relate to: Red and Bitter!
Although to echo sentiments from above, sometimes in the vicious heat of a Texas summer, nothing compares to a hefewiezen with a squeeze of citrus. Mmmmm....
It's good to know our american cousins have finally discovered some actual beer :D
Otherwise USA beer is often like making love in a canoe. hahaha, if you get that one.
peace
Dos Equis Amber is my favorite.
Killians Red is rather splendid too.
For domestic american beer Michelobe(sp?) isn't bad.
And for the record, I never bought in to that beer before liquor saying. You should be able to hold it all down. Otherwise you need more practice.
Haven't bought a six-pack in years. Homebrew, baby. Once you get the equipment ($100), and learn what your doing, you can make any kind of beer you want, exactly the way you want it, and it's much cheaper than buying it. As it's unfiltered and unpasterurized, with live yeast still in it, it has a much greater shelf life, and it's more nutritious. The liquid yeasts in the homebrew stores now are of such incredibly high quality that it's no exagerration at all to say that you can easily make beer at home that's brewpub quality.
Plus, you build up your brewing kung-fu with every batch!
Tsing-Tao-of course! it's light, but has a really clean finish-which is weird, considering that China has a major pollution problem. I also like Blackened Voodoo lager-dark, but not heavy, also a clean finish-neat label too-one day I want to paint my tank on my bike like that. Usually, when i eat ethnic food I like to drink the beer from that area, so with Chinese food, I like Tsing Taio, I forget the names of the Indian, Thai, and Phillipino beers, but they all seem to be fairly light, and also have a clean finish. Hienekin always reminded me of skunk. I once gained about 10 lbs the summer I discovered Black and Tans (Guiness stout and Bass ale) Beer-it's not just for breakfast anymore!
My alter-ego, Great Grand Master Richard Cranium founder of Mushin-Do (also author of the book-"The way of the Tao of Mushin-Do') The symbol for the system is a brain with the circle/slash through it. Anyway...he sez that beer is the perfect food.'Ya got yer hops, yer malt, which are yer cahbohydrations, an the alcohol turns to sugar for a quick pick me up for your workouts. Hops is a natural diuretic which prevents water retention-for all you ladies out there. Also the alcohol mixes with the water and the water also gets burned off that way-it's like dry gas.
This is the best darn post ever....
I like all sorts of beer, with the exception of some very dark stouts, but my fondness is for a good mexican cerveza. Give me a Pacifico, Tecate or Corona with lime on a hot day with some nachos and salsa and I am good to go. To me the mexican lagers and there darker brands have a cleaner taste to my mouth than a lot of the euro cousins, I have just now only found out about a excellent mexican beer called Negra Modelo which has a bitter taste at the end which reminds me of choclate, another good one which is new to me is Dos Equis Special Lager.
For something on those colder days I tend to like other treats, ales are good, something like a Grants Scotch Ale or maybe even Altantic Coast Old Scratch Barleywine, there is a trappist ale called Belgian White by Blue Moon which is good, the session beers are great for a chilly night, a sessonal Okotberfest beer like a semi-dry Spaten Ur-Marzed, or a Samuel Adams Double Bock or Shriner Bock.
I tend to take my time with my beers as I like to enjoy the taste with food.
I guess I drink a lot of MGD. Why? Well, it's cheap, and it goes down easy.
"And the lights are blinking, I'm thinking, it's all over when I go out drinking. Oh, makin' my mind slow, that's why I don't **** with the big 4 0."
You tried the special lager hey Black Jack? You must try the amber now. I personally prefer the amber.
i have yet to find a beer that i wouldn't drink or didn't actually like for that matter.
i'm usually spotted with a natty ice in my hand, but other favorates are honey brown, killians, ice house, sam adams, amber bock, and that grosh stuff you can get in a little keg.
Thumbs up for Grolsch and Negra Modelo!!
Natty ice - is that like Natty Light? I knew some serious hicks to drink that...
Busch is a chuggable mass-marketed beer.
Warsteiner, a German beer is really good. If you happen to be in Central Mass., you might be able to find a local brew called Z-Street, my paticular favorite is Rollstone Red.
Sierra Nevada Pale ale is quite nice. If I want something heavier, I'll go with a black and tan - Guiness and Bass mixed together.
And if I can find a restaurant that makes their own beer, such as last night in Nashua, I'll drink much more than I should, but it doesn't happen often, at least not since my last job -- I hated it.
I've been on a Foster's kick all summer.
I like Harpoon IPA but that was packing
the weight on me.
Bai He, if you haven't already done it, you should try the Saturday morning Harpoon Tour some time. You basically just sit in the room overlooking the brewery while they pour you free samples!

I will check it out.
I'm all for the occasional a.m. brew!
You know, some of the 'beer' I had in Ottawa was pretty awful :( , but if want something very special... go for Flowers here in the UK.
An ale left to mature in casks that previously housed whisky. Mmmmmmmmmmm..... soooooo........ goooooddddd.
When in Thailand I drank a lot of Singha... regret it to this day.
The chap who mentioned NC Brown Ale.... ohhh yessss, that "back end" problem.
Favorite Beers...hmm this is a toughie
German.......Warsteiner
American.....Coors Original
Micro...........Fat Tire
Mexican.......Negra Modello
Irish............Murphey's Stout
Canadian....Labat Blue Light
Holland.......Amstel
The Budweiser brewed in Czech is pretty good too. It also depends on the mood of drinking....party, dinner, type of food, etc.
If any of you liquid carbohydrate swilling b@stards get down here to Austin, let's set up a bunch of pints at the Bitter End Brewery's B-side Bar, then stagger up the street to the park and spar like sh!tfaced derelicts!
Spar first, then drink. We wouldn't want to waste all that juice by barfing it up with the first sidekick.
Other than that, it's on. ;)
Oh c'mon...what do you think I meant when I said "...like sh!tfaced derelicts?" The vomiting is half the fun!
:D
That's a splendid idea CSN. I'm up for it.
ewallace,
I have not had the amber yet, but when I see it I will try it:D
I just dig good mexican beer, though I don't drink often at all, when I do it seems to be from south o' the border.
I have deep Irish blood and I can not stand Guiness so what the hell does that tell ya!
For some odd reason, everytime I drink it's a wee bit north of the border :)
I'm quite serious, EWallace and the rest of y'all. my email address is austin@swinburn.net and I check it at least twice a day. Let me know when you'll be around, and I'll see what I can set up.
Jack -
I don't care for most Mexican beer, but I Negro Modelo, XX Oscura and Indio are all quite acceptable when a microbrewed IPA is out of the question. Like if, say, you're visiting Mexico.
My favorite beers, hmm...
Guinness and Harp are my two favorites by far. Labatts Blue is really good too. I drank that all of the time in college. Anchor Steam is a really good beer.
Ky-Fi, I've done the Harpoon tour. It was a beautiful and special moment. Nothing like having beer as your first meal of the day. :D
I have a new job now which has its home/corporate base in Austin I believe-Progressive Insurance Concepts-I think we take a trip down there about once a year.
If I do I will let you know, my time is opening up this week for the first time before I start the new position on Monday, so I should be finding some time this week to go review some tapes with Royal.
I just got back from Seattle, and they have tons of great local brews there. Just about anything from the Hale brewery is pretty solid.
Also, nothing beats a good snake-bite. It's like a black and tan, only it's half Guiness and half hard cider. If it's made with a good draft cider like Strongbow, the two flavors complement each other incredibly well. It goes down easier than either of its constituent parts.
Other great beers:
Belhaven Scottish Ale, Paulaner Hefeweizen, Beamish Irish Stout, and Newcastle. There's a great brewery and restaurant here in Columbus called Barley's. I have yet to taste a beer from them that isn't great.
sam adams anyone? The summer ale is good for er...summer.
Caronas are nice to take down to the river while you back in the sun getting yang excess.
Newcastle is nice. I like Guiness in Europe, it tasted like cough syrup in America. Depends on the time of year.
Nothing on earth beats a dark bavarian wheat beer. Not even sex is better. Its close, but I'd say they tie.
I also love a nice stout beer like murphys stout and a nice cigar.
OE 800 or st ides. regular beer just isn't strong enough. St Ides is $1.25 for a 22 oz with 8.2 % alc. King Cobra is good too but not as strong. I also like the 64 oz OE. for the big occasions:D
That's funny Stacey. I remember seeing that it was your 19th birthday a few weeks ago.
So let's hear from the old-heads what were some great beers that you can no longer get. You know, like Stroh's, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Ortlieb's. What do you think went wrong?
