What's Your Drink?

[JWsleep]

Been drinking a lot of single malt scotch, recently. Macalland 12, neat. Going broke because of it, but man it's good. (I used to go with burbon more--Austin Nichols Wild Turkey 101, Makers--when I lived south of the Mason-Dixon line.)

Guiness draft pulled slow by a proper Irish bar keep--Brendan's on 35th street; Freddy's in Prospect Heights. I went to Ireland last summer for my honeymoon, and you really can't get Guiness here, but I can dream... (Ireland kicks ass, btw!)

In summer I drink a lot of Cuba Libres and Carona with lime. Tequilla shots are always good--I like Sauza, but I haven't tried that many kinds.

I dig all the microbrews, though my standard is Brooklyn Lager, from the Brooklyn Brewing Company. They bottle a lot of their beer in Utica, NY, but they have abrewery in Williamsburgh Brooklyn where they do the kegs and lots of specalty beers. Good stuff.

When in a pinch, I'll drink (almost!) anything. Haven't been near St. Ides since "the incident."
