What should the official liquor be for the diving world?

[Mikko Ilari Laakkonen]

Beer, but only if you exclude American beers :tongue:

Americans tend to be funny with words. They call a game they play with hands and an egg "football" and some strange mild liquid they have they call "beer".

Here in europe we have game we play with feet and a ball, we call it football. We habe a delicious beverage nothing like it's name-kin across the big water, it is beer and we call it such.

What's even funnier is that all the beer companies here were founded by Europeans.
Maybe they made horrible beer in Europe and were outcast so they came here?

I have a German friend who constantly bashes American beers, but then his normal daily choice is Coors Light
That's the most watered down piss water you can get and he likes it. I don't get it.

Come to the west coast and try some craft beer, it sure beats any Karhu, Karjala, Koff, Labatt, Molson, or Moosedrool I've had

I voted for beer, but know it won't work if it makes the next round because I love an IPA or stout after a dive in cold water, but a local beer when diving places like Mexico or Fiji. Hawaii has Kona Brewing, but I usually go with one of their middle of the road beers.

So picking one single beverage, I'd have to go with the Kraken. I love me some Sailor Jerry (great with ginger ale), but it seems to be much harder to find in my travels than Kraken.

That's part of the object of this thread, to try and put Rum on the map and make Sailor Jerry available world wide. Come on Rum!

But if beer wins I'd have a tough time too because there are too many great micro breweries where I live. In fact I have the number 1 in US (number 7 in the world) right in my town - Pliney the Younger, Russian River Brewing Co.

#1 based on what? (there are so many ranking metrics I see, just curious) I usually go for a double IPA (Ninkasi Tricerahops), a triple sounds tasty

A nice local beer or, for more festive occasions:

No question about it out here on Catalina Island... buffalo milk!

 

[Hickdive]

Scapa whisky, obviously or Highland Park.

If beer is your thing then Skullsplitter, Dark Island or any of the other Orkney Brewery beers.

I'd like to know what people are choosing when they select "other"?
