It's Fun Friday! Today's Fun Friday question is, what is your favorite adult beverage? If it's a beer, which one? A mixed drink? What kind? Wine? How do you pick?
t
A pale ale about 5% and from the barrel

Whatever contains alcohol, not too picky. though if it's beer, Octoberfest "German" stouts".
b
My 2c... It depends... Mostly on Time and Location... Hot and sweaty == Beer - lager or pils Dinner == Wine - Pinot Noir Party == Beer - Almost anything from Belgium or Netherlands
j
A good cabernet or manhattan - makers mark, carpano antiqua and peychauds

Beer: Double, Hazy, usually with Citra hops + others or barrel aged stout north of 12% so I know the love is real ❤️ Drink: Old Fashioned, double sweet, Rye OR Weller Full Proof, with one rock Wine: red table wine, Italian if possible. Not picky, but I don't want to have to chew it.

During long winter evenings, nothing is better than Sherry (Jerez) or Porto, or sweet brandy. If food is right, crystal clear Polish vodka is never bad option.
c
Almost any IPA (hazy or West Coast), stout (especially the barrel-aged and pastry styles), sour (including fruited sours), Saison, Barleywine (depends on time of day and who I'm with). Love the occasional wee dram of single-malt Scotch whisky or Irish whiskey, although some of the nicer blended ones are pretty good. Like small-batch bourbons too, especially Woodford Reserve.

Lately it's been Irish whiskey, and, since it's winter, I've been making hot toddies. An ounce of whiskey, a few ounces of hot water, a cinnamon stick, a teaspoon or so of honey, and some cloves stuck into lemon slice so they aren't floating around. Warm and comforting when the windchill is -6 F.

I will always have the perry if it exists. But it usually doesn't.

@Tim What is this perry you speak of?
t
cider, but with pears instead of apples.

If I had to choose one, I'd go with beer. There are too many good ones these days to have one favorite, but preferring darker beers my go-to is usually Yuengling Porter. The fact that it's a bargain doesn't hurt.
