Drinking Beer

[HowardRoark]

For some reason I have beer on the mind today. Maybe it’s all the new Oktoberfest beers showing up in stores. What are your top three places to sit (or stand for that matter) and drink a beer?

No politics….sorry Tex.

1. Nepenthe – Big Sur, CA

I've got nothing against beer drinkers. I'm just not one. It tastes like piss to me--and no, I actually never tasted piss. But I bet it tastes like beer.

The Odeon cafe in Zurich is a great place to drink beer on the sidewalk...the London pub in Kitzbuhel....the seven glaciers restaurant at the Alyeska ski resort...my house...on my brother in laws patio....Humpies bar in Anchorage...the red dog saloon in Juneau. I better stop now...

If you are ever in vegas and want a workout, rent a car and head west on charleston about 15 miles to calico basin (right before the scenic loop). Climb to the top of the rock (about an hour if you in moderate shape) and drink a beer.

Drinking Beer is good(although not always appropriate) any day of the week and the Memorial Terrace is a fine place to get Hammered

I'm sure we could send this to the GC real fast. Girls and Beer! Like that!

Anyone ever take the factory tour of Miller Brewery? I've never tasted better beer than the stuff they serve after the tour. Maybe it's the atmosphere, or because it's fresh. Or because it's free. :D

Yes. I agree with you.

Once, on a layover in Amsterdam, I had the same experience at the Heineken kiosk/bar at the airport. I think they bring the good stuff out.

A good spot to drink. You can lock the doors to keep the nagging kids away, and it saves you the mad dash. Plus your wife doesn't bitch about having to clean up your vomit.

...the London pub in Kitzbuhel.....

Kitzbuhel…..reminds me that I never answered your question. No, I am not Franz Klammer. But I have skied down the Hahnenkamm. What a great place to ski. I remember I ended up somehow at a town (looking down the mountain, way to the left); no lifts, no nothing. I didn’t know what to do, so I hung out with some Austrians. They just got on the next city/town bus with the school kids and business people and got off at the base of Kitzbuhel.

I do feel a little like Franz though when I go down Dave Murray at Whistler. I think that’s where there are going to put the Downhill course during the Olympics.

[Cleft Crusty]

I don't care where I drink beer, just so long as they put one of these in front of me.

I love skiing in Europe...other than the hordes of horribly dressed skiers you sometimes encounter it is just an amazing place to ski. I'm always amazed where you can find a lift or gondola over there.

Did you have to choose Amy Reid the stereotypical pornstar? Why not a Packer chick or something?

Could you please define/provide example/etc. the non stereotypical pornstar.

BTW, FTV is a Phx based company. We have quite the number of porn companies here. Not to mention Ms. Jameson and her crew.

Also, Ms. Reid is available for personal consultations as she travels the country. Don't ask me how i know. :oops:

Well, I flew into Washington DC today and will be here for a few days lobbying politicians. I got hungry a few hours ago and decided to look for a watering hole with good burgers and stuff. There really are not that many restaurants in the DC area. I'm about 7 or 8 blocks from the White House. I did find a place called Stoney's Tavern. Looked worth a try. On the wall their were pics of Goerge Bush Sr, Dubya, Bill Clinton, Sam Donaldson and more. Looked like the quaint place to try. I got the Stoney Brown Ale and a loaded Pastrami sandwich. Pretty good. I like to try places that are not you can't find at home.

Anyone know of any other DC pubs?

[MJZiggy]

The only pub I know of in the city is on 25th and Pennsylvania. If you're looking for Italian, the place on 20th (I think) and M is good. Or go a little further up Pennsylvania and you'll hit Georgetown where they have absolutely everything. If you want the bar scene, try Adams Morgan (try not to get shot).

[LL2]

I'm staying at the Westin on M and 15th...the Italian place might be worth a try. So

[MJZiggy]

Go west on M, and as you look down the numbered streets (to your left) it is on the left (west) side of the street a couple doors down from the corner going toward L street. It's kind of a hole in the wall, but those always have the best food. Sorry I can't remember which street. But hurry or you'll miss game time. I hear the Hawk and Dove 329 Pennsylvania Ave SE 202-543-3300 is a good place for Packer fans to watch the games. I'd call first to be sure.

At the top of the mountain above Beaver Creek lodge in the summer.

drinking beer above any beaver is ok with me

Wnet to Old Ebbitt Grill last night. They say it's the oldest restaurant / taven in DC. Good food and drinks and nice atmosphere.

[digitaldean]

How about in the Lambeau Field parking lot with my fellow 'Rats before we watch the Pack lambaste the Falcons??

Nice alternative is on my patio in a lounge chair on a still cloudless summer night.

But before I die, I want to go back to my ancester's homeland and experience Oktoberfest in Munich.
