You should try some belgian beers. Belgium has a huge amount of different special beers that are just too good to skip

There are a lot of nice beers you're missing out on. Of course they may not all be available in aus.

Fosters Doesn't have a good reputation but I like it
Yeah Stella is nice
Becks (bottled) is too good not to try
Tuborg is also nice
Grolsch - a bit sweet but can be nice
Carlsberg - not bad


And I'm just talking lagers since I don't drink bitter or stout

I think when he says "good" Hark means good taste. Right? I mean I drink beer cos I like it, not to get drunk, so taste is paramount.

Aaahhhh........Long Island Iced Tea's! Now that brings back memories...........hmmmmm, except I can't remember any of them!

Some beers I think are decent to good.

Vaskez mentioned some good ones.
I'd add 1664.

Some good belgian beers:
Leffe
Duvel
Some good beers from other countries:
Mont Blanc (France)
Tsingtao (China)
Zlaty Bazant (Slovakia)

Some german and other belgian beers are good too, I just can't recall some names now.

A Tasmanian brewery used to make a nice bottled beer I seem to remember. Cascade Tassie Tiger beer. You'll find it in some of the upmarket bottle shops in the city.

johnny: ------------- What do you consider "good" ? Is it good when you get drunk fast ? Or the opposite ? If you wanna get completely wasted really fast, go with Tequila slammers. Just don't hold a grudge against me the next morning.

hmm.. now that you think about it.. its hard to define good with alcohol . unless you have those flavoring like vanila, or choc which is easy to define. and dont worry about the grudge part. I wont even remember my own name when im going to take those slammers . thanks for the tip johnny

and the rest.. yep thanks as well for all the beer info . Ill be sure to try those belgian beers.

now any wine drinkers out there? there's got to be at least a couple of you guys somewhere

Someday I'd like to visit that "Long Island"...
If only it were real.

Oh my god.... we've created a monster.

If you want to get totally slammed in a short period of time, B52s are your drink (although in a bar/pub they are usually VERY expensive):

3/4 ounce Kahlua
3/4 ounce Baileys
3/4 ounce Grand Marnier

Pour directly over ice.

Or try a few Melon Balls for the hot summer :

3/4 oz. Midori or dekuyper
3/4 oz. Vodka
Balance with orange juice (your choice how much re how strong you want it).

Or perhaps you may enjoy Sex On The Beach LOL:

1 1/2 oz. peach schnapps
1 1/2 oz. vodka
2 oz. cranberry juice
2 oz. orange juice
2 oz. pineapple juice

Put in a tall glass with ice.

Oh and I agree with everyone re the Long Island Ice Teas, they are great but will take you out quickly LOL because they taste so much like a regular glass of cool iced tea LOL.

GREAT for Hot summer days with friends at the beach or a lake.
If you really want to get drunk and know that your drunk. Then go buy yourself a bottle of Myers Rum and a Small round Watermellon. Cut a plug in one end of the mellon about two inches square. Make sure you cut the plug at an inward angle so when you put it back on it doesn't fall into the inside of the mellon. after cutting the plug remove it and set to one side. Take a Long knife and poke it in and out of the plug hole 20 or 25 times. Now turn mellon with plug hole pointed down over a bucket or over a kitchen sink and allow mellon to drain for a couple minutes.
Next turn mellon so plug hole is pointed up then poor the bottle of rum (any Booze will work) into the mellon when bottle is empty replace plug into hole and cover plug with painters tape to seal. stick mellon into freezer for two to three days. mellon will freeze but the Alcohol won't totaly. Pack up your day outing supplies and head for your favorite outdoor party place and have fun, Don't forget the box of straws
