[perigra]

AFTER thats why it's called a chaser.

Hehe,,, I have a chaser of a single malt after a pint.... you should see that pint run down my throat, closely followed (chased) by the malt......

[Myriad2112]

WITH cause that's the way I like it OK?

[Jugglering]

I would say that was totally acceptable Myriad.... and darned nice too ! Can I have one before as well please ? hic....

[perigra]

come the revolution myriad you'll be stood against the wall and be forced to have a whisky only after you've finished your pint.

viva revalusion!!!!!!!!!

[Myriad2112]

I used to do that in the yard of ale comp.

[thundercrack]

is anyone going to give me a sensible answer, or are you all drunk? you all seem to like the scotch after or with or anytime with the beer!

[Jugglering]

Sorry Thunder.....

I thought we had answered the question.... it's called a chaser because it is drunk (ie chased) after the pint....

Anyway, it is no different to a normal shot of whisky, it's just terminology..

Just to confirm that Juggerling is being serious. It is called a chaser when ordered with a pint and is drunk after the pint. Quite simple. A normal shot of whisky.

Alternatively if you drink the whisky first and then the beer, that's usually called a boilermaker - can also be mixed together and or the shot glass dropped into the pint at which point some people will still call it a boilermaker, others a depth charge.
