I am off to buy beer and alcohol for wedding reception today.

Georgia girl-Texas guy

Here are my thoughts so far:

Good beer: Sweetwater 420 (Georgia standard)
Light beer: Yuengling Light (can't get in Texas)

"Bourbon"-Jack (groom's favorite)
Vodka-Titos (made in Texas-good stuff)
Gin
Scotch-Dewars (Irish in law loves it)
Rum

I'm looking for helpful input. I'm obviously not buying mid shelf stuff.

Thanks.

I'd also get some yuengling original. It's very easy drinking and some people may not really like pale ales.

Id skip the titos. I personally think there are much better vodkas for that price, and you're kind of paying for the "Austin Texas vodka" theme.

Can't imagine anyone complaining about tanqueray for gin.

What are your thoughts? Svedka, Rain?

I will check with my Texas people too.

I like the idea of getting the Yuengling and Yuengling Light. Great idea.

I'm sticking with the Jack. Groom's favorite.

Maybe I will get some Jager and Red Bull!

Thanks guys.

Get some Jack for the groom and anyone who drinks it straight, and some Evan Williams Black for the people who mix it with Coke. Pearls before swine and all.

So what's the clear flavorless liquor of choice amongst Texas hipsters these days?

Saying any vodka "sucks" beyond maybe a handful of truly rotgut once distilled versions, seems rather silly to me. But, what the hell do I know?

You tell me.

I don't hang out with hipsters.

I'm just repeating what the guy at specs told me. But hey what does he know?

I hate Rum. But all my friends do Capt Morgan or Sailor Jerry's.
Everything else seems good. I mean it's alcohol. Once people start getting drunk, it doesn't matter what it is.
