The videographers sense for beer

Chris Hurd · January 20th, 2006, 09:39 AM

Modelo is great. I am no fan of Corona, but I thoroughly enjoy an ice-cold Dos Equis, and, believe it or not, Carta Blanca.

Nick Weeks · January 20th, 2006, 09:43 AM

Oh yea, Modelo is great... I guess I just have a thing for Coronas

Anyone ever has the Ashshi (sp?) Japanese beer?

Bryon Akerman · January 20th, 2006, 09:51 AM

THis thread does uncover a quandry for me. With me being a minister and all, I have to stick with the good ole non-alchoholic beverages.

So, I bring up this recommendation.... Root Beer. You laugh, I know, but statistics show that Barq's has more bite and of course, the mother of all liquid refreshment....

IBC in a frosted mug.

ahhh. Now that is what one needs for creative refreshment.

Now, in order to deal with the opposite sex.... well, that would turn anyone to the hard stuff.

I agree with that! How about O'Douls? I think it's non-alcolholic beer, but I'm not sure if it's any good... never had it.

I love root beer, it's probably my favorite "soda" drink

Marco Leavitt · January 20th, 2006, 10:42 AM

I'm a big root beer fan as well. My grandfather used to brew up his own batches. That was the stuff.

Chris Hurd · January 20th, 2006, 11:42 AM

In Texas, we're all rooting for IBC. They make a great cream soda as well.

Bryon Akerman · January 20th, 2006, 03:01 PM

I'm still waiting on the water into IBC miracle...

Now, that would be awesome....

Before I read this thread, I was merely hungry. Now I'm hungry, thirsty, and craving hot chicken wings and hard cider (can't drink beer, so that's as close as I can get).

However, I also recommend a good shot (or two, or three) of Maker's Mark.

Victor Burdiladze · February 8th, 2006, 09:58 PM

New good vodkas are Russian - Uree Dolgoruk and Zyr. These are good for screenwriting though, and don't do much for actual production. I'm still trying to find one that's good for shooters and as soon as I find I'll share with that information.

or four... or.... ffivvvveee..... :)

Maker's Mark is a good choice for any occasion

Mark Sasahara · February 12th, 2006, 08:47 AM

Just did a shoot in Kentucky and Tennesee this week and the Producer/Director gave me a personalized bottle of Makers Mark as a gift. It's so nice, I don't know whether or not to drink it. Heh, what am I saying, it's only a matter of time before I finaly crack the gold seal and start chugging the bottle.

I write this at 9:40 am, on a beautifully snowy Sunday morning, while drinking a Heineken keg can of beer.

Lorinda Norton · February 12th, 2006, 09:43 PM

Last week in Miami I got to try Amber Bock--first for washing down Cuban sandwiches, then accompanying hot wings and something called fish bread. How is Amber Bock related to Shiner? :)

Here in the Rockies we can get some good ideas flowing with Kokanee--a beer from our friends up north in Canada.

I have, and I totally agree with that statement. Those monks know what they're doing! The monestarys had the best beer I've ever tasted. It's also my understanding Rob, that the Dutch aren't very keen on Heineken. I'll tell you a funny story about that while we are at NAB. :-)

Prost!

Nick Weeks · February 12th, 2006, 11:25 PM

Anyone for Killian's Irish Red? I recently tried this beer for the first time, and I absolutely admire it

Rob Lohman · February 13th, 2006, 01:32 AM

Greg: the Dutch are a bit "divided" on the Dutch beer brands. But Heineken
and Grolsch aren't really considered great beers. I think most Dutch will agree
that Belgium beers tend to be a lot better. However, the Dutch still drink a lot
of their own beer, myself included. Grolsch is a lot more bitter than say Heineken
or Amstel. I guess those are the 3 big ones...

p.s. proost :)
