It all depends. In highballs, I like rum. I also like it straight but that hardly ever happens. I'm also partial to whiskey that isn't Crown Royal to drink straight, and brandy/cognac. Vodka is good mixed, but I can't drink it straight, even the "good" vodka.
Usually at the bar, we'll drink pitchers of Alexander Keith's. I find it the best "macrobrewery" beer. I'm not too familiar with microbrewery beer, but my friend had Dead Guy Ale at his place once and it was pretty good.
I also laugh at my friend who thinks Carlsberg is the pinnacle of beer, and always compares everything to Carlsberg.
"Carlsberg this and Carlsberg that. This beer we bought is not as good as Carlsberg! Carlsberg has the crisp taste I like. I love European beers like Carlsberg!"
