fortgarry dark (local, it sounds like one our local beers is a knock-off haha!)
and if you knew anything about beer, it looses its taste and texture if exposed to direct sunlight. so yay! for brown bottle beer. and especially euro brew! and sleemans and new castle are good too.

So your saying green and clear bottles would taste better if they were in a darker bottle?

There is no difference between green and brown bottles, but there is a difference with clear bottles. UV light affects the hops in your beer. If you've ever had a clear bottle beer like sleemans, corona, etc. on a hot and bright sunny day in the summer, you probably will notice it starts to smell different. This is the hops breaking down from sunlight creating a chemical that is pretty much identical to a skunk's defense smell. Paler brews and hoppier brews will get this the worst. Brown and green bottles help prevent UV from breaking down the hops quickly. It still will if you leave it out in the sun. A clear bottle could start breaking down in less than a minute, while a brown or green bottle might save ur beer for a couple minutes or more. Why doesn't everyone use darker or even solid colour bottles? Money.
My top 3 beers:
1. Fuller's London Porter
2. Guiness Extra Stout
3. Hobgoblin, Duvell, or Steamwhistle
My Choice of Liqour:
1. Gin (Sapphire, Tanqueray, & No. 10) Usually drink Gin n Juice or gin martini with lemon zest and large orange peel.
2. Vodka (they all taste the same, yes even greygoose or bellvedere) Pure vodka & water. Nothing else.
Technically speaking, all alcoholic beverages can cause a hangover. Wine will be the worst since there are a number of sugars, acids and other chemicals dries your body out.
My best hangover prevention/solution is to drink a shit load of water after a late n long night of drinking then drink a gatorade/powerade then pass out. When I wake up, drink another gatorade or litre of water.
Gatorade is a lifesaver, it won't rid ur headache in 10 seconds, but it will pretty quickly. Basically, ur body is sapped of electrolytes and ur dehydrated after pickling your liver for 12 hours. Gatorade helps to slightly restore ur blood pH, adds salt to ur bloodstream which restores electrolytes, and rehydrates you so ur headache can clear.
Cheers for the holidays yo! I'm gonna try to find some of the beers u other guys posted.
nice !
