ILX DRINK Fight Nomination/ Question Thread

fat tire

and Erdinger

Sapporo

Red Stripe XD

This is going to be a solid 32

NOT Fosters

Heineken

Yeah, I'm good with excluding Fosters

Stone IPA

Kinda wishin' this was a pan-alcoholic thing, 8-10 spots out of 64 reserved for beer styles.

ten ppl have had stone

you think? We can totally do that, too. Might be more interesting. Would certainly include more people.

Can we get a mod to change the title to represent this?

NOT FUCKING Carling, or Boddington's, or any English lager ever

Kinda wishin' this was a pan-alcoholic thing, 8-10 spots out of 64 reserved for beer styles.

Thought this could be an all-beverage fight. Maybe do a separate one for juices then pit the two winners together?

Ten people have had Stone

Yes, but FIVE of them are ME, so it bears inclusion.

Alright, so - pan-alco -

Lager
Pilsner
Stout
Porter
IPA
Barleywine

Trappist Ale
American Lager

Bitter

Any others bear inclusion (except for lambics or other fruit beers)?

belgian

oh wait you had trappist

pan-alco idea otm

love beer the most but this would get 3x the participation

My liver and Marxist science tell me not to mix the alcohols and the non-alcohols.

10 beers, 15 wines, 20 base liquors, then liqueurs, cordials, bitters, etc

Just throwin' ideas out there.

lots of xposts, you guys have moved past my thinking already

lambic in the beers for sure!

and for other participants:

Red Wine -
Cabernet
Syrah/Shiraz
Zinfindel

White Wine -
Chardonnay
Pinot Grigio
Sauvignon Blanc

Port

Bourbon

Irish Whiskey

Scotch

Canadian Whiskey

Manhattan

Martini

Margarita

Cosmopolitan

Mimosa

Bloody Mary

Chelada

Caipirinha

Mojito

Cuba Libre

So, no cocktails?

cocktails are a good idea

I think so, too. I mean, we had hard cheese and pizza in the last one, right?

key hard alcohols + key cocktails

Specific drink recipes? I dunno, seems like they'd be overpowered in Rd 1.

Like I say, I'm tossing ideas like end-of-pub-crawl cookies, I bow to whatever the final decisions are without complaint.

mojito will win the poll, though, and deservedly too

wmc change the title already!

also guys

SCRUMPY

that is all

Specific drink recipes? I dunno, seems like they'd be overpowered in Rd 1

I think it'd be a lot like the food poll actually, like BLAM said, w/ pizza vs. cheese

What am I changing the title to again? Sorry, reading too fast and trying to unclog my email inbox.

Got it. So,

Bourbon
Scotch
Irish
Vodka
Tequila
Gin
Rum

Martini
Manhattan
Old Fashioned
Margarita
Bloody Mary
Gin & Tonic
Cuba Libre
Pina Colada
Vodka & Tonic
Americano
Cosmopolitan

Lager
Pilsner
Stout
Porter
IPA
Barleywine
Trappist/Belgians
American Lager
Bitter

Cabernet
Syrah/Shiraz
Zinfindel
Pinot Noir
Sangiovese
Chianti
Chardonnay
Pinot Grigio
Sauvignon Blanc
Prosecco
Champagne
Sake

ILX DRINK Fight Nomination/ Question Thread

SPIT-TAKE! ILX Beverage Wars 2010, how's that. Yeah, I hate it too.
xp

39 thus far

No, no... for THIS thread, keep it simple.

"ILX Drinks and Goes Home"

what does "Irish" mean

o whiskey i see

I SAID *SCRUMPY*

Campari
Ouzo
Palm Wine
Rye

Keep it real: Moonshine

also dude put Mojito in that list or else

Mojito

45 alco, 19 non?

I feel palm wine could get bumped by Diet Cola

Oh wait, is this All Drinks Ever? Coz man, the Juice Brigade of which I am Leader have some words to say about that proportion

Jagerbomb

Mojito, yes please?

xp if I were running this and you said "do x or else" I'd say "OH I THOUGHT YOU MEANT TEMP BAN ME OR ELSE!!!"

Here's a list of 16 beer styles, along with potential representative brands:

IPA (Lagunitas IPA)
Pale ale (Sierra Nevada Pale Ale)
American lager (Budweiser)
German lager (Paulaner)
Stout (Guinness)
Porter (Fuller's London Porter)
Wheat (Hoegaarden)
Lambic (Lindemans Framboise)
Malt liquor (Olde English)
Brown ale (Newcastle)
Bitter (Fuller's ESB)
Pilsner (Pilsner Urquell)
Trappist (Chimay)
Red/amber ale (Smithwick's)
Blonde ale (Leffe Blonde)
Barleywine (Sierra Nevada Bigfoot)

(Feel free to quibble with this.)

would the "spirits" bracket include liqueurs?

or would you just break it down like for example:

rum
tequila
vodka
gin
scotch
brandy
bourbon
whiskey
congac
schnapps
jenever
mezcal
ouzo
armagnac
chiew
applejack

i think this is just too much. an all encompassing booze poll, i mean...

the food poll was a mishmash of ingredients, specific foods, and whole dish-styles. i guess that kind of works for booze too, in some ways, since, say 'drambuie' and 'chartreuse' are brands as well as the only thing of its kind.

but man, i dunno.

as someone who deals with categorizing information and someone who loves to drink this is really bugging me out

unicum vs malört would be kind of fantastic, particularly if you had to taste-test before voting

haha @ ^^^^

again I think a (pass) option is key here

I'mna bet there's nobody here who will have tried all 64, no matter what we end up with

fully support jaymc's 16 btw

ONE example for each is a great idea too

ha i bet i will have tried all 64, but i realize that i am a special case

Alright, I'm going to work this thing up.

Its going to be an all-alcoholic bevs poll, out of the interest of seeing a good bit of trans-category conflict.

I'm going to keep jaymc's 16 beers.

Alright - the brackets have been completed. First groups going up now.

tbf this one actually had a definitive answer

Freal tho fuck unicum
