Beer!

[ZRH]

If you didn't work at Dairy Queen, you would probably be able to afford the good beer.

If only I worked for Dairy Queen I could have free ice cream...

I'd think that people who say hell's bells would know if they still make it or not. YOU BIG SILLY MAN

<snip> good beer costs too much to justify buying in quantity.

Two ~25 oz bottles of Belgian abbey ale per night, $12

vs.

5oz from an average priced scotch (Highland Park 21) $14

A tad bit more cost effective, not a lot

A more homosexual thing has never been said. Except by dbzeag, probably. Anyway, you can't continue to claim to be some golden-flowing-hair Viking....thing with an attitude like that.

Beer is God's nectar. When served in the appropriate temperature, enjoyed within the proper temperature range.

Bottle of Westvolterin 12 (very bad spelling) for $16 every 12oz bottle. $9 for the glass.

Hmm, I usually do one finger of scotch before bed. Drinking an equivalent amount of beery alcohol (about 1 full bottle) makes me feel fat, and lasts only six days.

I keep checking the price of my favorite beer, the name escapes at the moment (Ol'- something, it's a really dark stout, Imperial maybe) was like $15 per 12 oz bottle. It would be awesome if someone can remember what that is btw.

Lagers are meh, they all taste like grassy lemonade to me.

 

[Syrup Beaver]

Ah, well if you're in the game of good dark stouts - then yeah, that's more comparable to a bottle of Port Ellen (In my quantities)

But then the rarity of Port Ellen (Silent distillery) comes into play, and the beer still seems easier to glug

Other stuff that's hard to find: Perry and I think I'm the only person keeping the local store in business cider (Vermont's Best lol). We have this awesome, and cheap liquor store though that carries -all- the islay scotches. They dont have beer, but I've seen one bottle of port ellen locked up, bowmore is only $20, Laphroiag of course, and cask strength etc.

Stout is -impossible- to find locally though. I can get Bechorovka and Amaretto but not fancy beer.

 

[Syrup Beaver]

Amaretto is a dime a dozen 'round these parts

Boston is blessed with at least 7 beer purveyors with an esoteric selection, scotch is bloody expensive here though.

Going up to NH you can get HP 12 or Bowmore for around $30, but they don't do much in the way of independant bottling sales up there.
