Beer geek here. drink

Best local brewery to me is Buxton by far but it is also the best brewery in England to my mind (close with Cloudwater). Particular highlights being Yellow Belly and Rain Shadow.

However, for truly awe inspiring brews America is the place.

Gin & T, but quite partial to an espresso martini or 5.

Beer only with a takeaway or to refresh on a rare hot n sunny day, don't get what as long as its icecold. I like the taste of craft ales but they give me the worst hangovers so stay clear.

Pretty much anything with booze in it...

In order of preference:

Ale - craft/real/whatever
Whisky - Single malt preferred.
Red Wine - Standard supermarket plonk most of the time.
Cider / Perry - The real stuff i.e. not Strongbow
Cocktails, G&T, Rum and Coke etc..
Lager - sometimes if it's hot and you're thirsty it just hits the spot, not the weak stuff though
White Wine.
Anything else.

Wincle Brewery for me. Some of the Buxton stuff is good but there are too many high percentage beers that taste nice for the first pint, but you can't face a second. I prefer an old fashioned 3.8% session beer which Wincle do really well.

It's a thing on my chest that seems to serve no purpose and is just a bit of an evolutionary hangover?

Mostly ale.... Otter, Badger, Shere Drop....

I've never got on with Whisky (or Whiskey). I've been bought so many bottles of single malts over the years from well meaning folk who didn't know what else to buy me. Unfortunately it doesn't taste good to me with water or neat. So I give them away.

A gin and tonic is hard to beat- particularly with the Fevertree tonics. I drink them far too quickly.

And finally wine - lots of it. Very partial to the big houses from Bordeaux....

In the main, vodka, Belvedere or Grey Goose, don't turn my nose up at Smirnoff.
In the U.S. I'll go for Crown Royal, it's like a Canadian Club, but a superior version, rare to find in the U.K.
In France, Armagnac or Calvados.
Since around 1970, you could count the beers I've had on the fingers of two hands, if the temperature hits 37c and I see a frosted beer bottle, with condensation running down the sides, I might have one, but that's it.
To quote another thread, and probably put me beyond the pale, having been raised in a coffee, wine, and vodka drinking household, I think that tea and beer may be council.

These days alcohol sends me a bit 'wappy' and not in a nice way thanks to my medication. Pity, as I enjoyed a single malt, Cardhu for preference, or Blooms gin and Fentiman's tonic with a slice of lime. Beer... Black Sheep Imperial Russian; wine, a bottle of Fleurie - all in the past now cry

Fine red wine from anywhere and occasionally fine cognac.
