[Lightner, Jeffrey]

I often have to explain to wait staff (and some bartenders) that in no way is Captain Morgan's a reasonable substitute for Myers.   If I have to I'll drink Bacardi but as often as not I'll just go with water if I can't find a decent beer or a Myer's.

Oddly when I lived in Grenada (the island - not Mississippi) I couldn't find a decent rum to save my life.   I'd usually drink rum punch (because you couldn't taste how bad the rum was) or Red Stripe beer.   They did have a local liqueur called Le Grenade that was made from nutmet (their chief export) that wasn't bad.   I often wonder if all the good rum got shipped north to the US.

I like dark (no spiced!) rum, but I tend to like Guinness, Boddingtons, and
other darker ales.   To me... IPAs taste like grapefruit and I avoid all
IPAs.

Thanks,

Personally I prefer dark rum - Myer's Jamaican dark is my favorite.   I've
also found a couple from India oddly enough that I like.

If I have to drink beer I first see if they have Guinness Stout.   Failing
that I look to the "craft" beers but often enough am disappointed because most offerings are pale ales of one sort or another and I find those quite bland.
