glad you like it....saw a first commercial for it the other day, and the customer response in the contest to choose it was overwhelming...maybe they'll take the hint....i'd like to have one on a summer day..

Agree best of the seasonal beers and I already like the Winter Lager a lot. This however blows it away.

NyQuil.

4 shots of the best tequila at the dive i was at, 1800 Cuervo :shake: & 2 Coors Light... for that critical 'lightness' after 4 shots of bs tequila.

it has been a month or so since my grandma has passe so i am feeling a little down,so im having vodka and coke

I had a 24oz. bomber of Sierra Nevada Glissade Golden Bock and am now nursing a Bell's Rye Stout.

Vodka and coke????? What are you, 12 years old.........
Knob Creek on the rocks, and lots of it.

More bonded bourbon, this time w/hot Tazo Zen tea for a chaser. Pertty nice combo.

Drinking a smooth, creamy, hoppy 2010 Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine. I'm going to follow it with a 2009 Bigfoot to see how the aging process is going on my '09s.

Rum and Jack Daniels

Rusty Nail

A can of Boddingtons Pub Ale.

I'm halfway through what is quite possibly the best Bloody Mary I've ever made.

http://www.bauerwines.com/labels/B100340.jpg

As an afficianado, I'd love to hear more.

What is different about this one?

I can't get Oskar Blues beer in the KC area. Thier Ten FIDY Imperial Stout is very nice.

A little bit of Barcelo Añejo rum & diet Coke...

That's good stuff. Does it have the freaky thing on the bottom of the can?

A 40 and some crack.

After spending the past 18+ hours on a server migration, a ginormous glass of Gentleman Jack.

Thank gawd I don't have to be back to work for another 5 hours.:cuss:

water

Holy shit... peach Kool-Ade, where have you been all my life?

Liquid marijuana. And it goes well mixed with Ketel One....

After my reprieve from beer I am kicking things back off with a bottle of Boulevard's new limited-release Smokestack Series release -- Rye-on-Rye, an 11% ABV rye ale aged in Iowa's Templeton Rye brand whiskey barrels.

Boulevard's stupendous, world-class [Smokestack Series] Dark Truth Stout came out on Monday. I bought a case. I am opening up a bottle now (note: this is almost the same beer as Jan. 2009's limited-release Imperial Stout, only Dark Truth contains no spelt in its multigrain grainbill and it wasn't aged in bourbon barrels).

Mother****er, this is insane good. I'm in love.

Royal Oak rum on the rocks.

I'm on me thurd bottul o Sailor Jerrys 92 proof rum laddies...

Jameson's Irish and a Bully! Porter chaser

LMAO

My favorite drink of choice there.

mojito bitches

Metrosexual much?

Weihenstephaner VITUS (weizenbock)

Irish Coffee w/Powers Irish Whisky. Nutritionists note that Irish Coffee contains all four of the major food groups - fat, caffeine, sugar and alcohol.

Plunger Head Merlot...

Goose Island Sofie (saison). Its releasing again in April so I'm making headway into my 2009 bottle reserves.

Yeah the nitrogen ball is unique. I want some right now.

Stout-tacular Monday! First up is a can of Oskar Blues Ten FIDY Imperial Stout to be followed by a 14 month old bottle of 2009 Boulevard [Smokestack Series Limited-Release] Imperial Stout.

tequila and boulevard wheat!

Bushmill's 'black label' Irish whiskey

Boulevard's Smokestack Series Dark Truth Stout! Just popped it open.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I'm indulging in some liquid marijuana tonight, hold the liquid. We're going green for the festivities.

green beer...

Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout. It came out today in KC. It will be gone by the weekend.

Jamesons on the rocks

I friend brought that to my SB party. I have to say I am not a fan. A bit too much for my taste.

You have a friend that brought a 10-month old bottle of 2009 KBS to your SB party? Surely you must be referring to Founders Breakfast Stout, an imperial stout brewed with coffee and chocolate nibs. I'm referring to Founders' Kentucky Breakfast Stout, a similar recipe to Breakfast Stout only aged in bourbon barrels.

god damn you are a nerd

That's pretty ****ing accurate.

MGD

Heritage Dr. Pepper

How is that? I had Throwback Pepsi and was underwhelmed.

Crown royal reserve Manhattans...

Good. Though I prefer the sugar taste over the HFCS taste.

I'm thinking a nice cabernet-shiraz might be nice this evening.

I'll have to check the rack to see which one I want.

I forgot I'm not on call anymore (you just get used to it after a few days). Time to start working on emptying out the fridge. I think I'll get rid of the singles first.

Is it pretty bad when my Honey Moon Summer Ale has a date printed on it of NOV1609?

Beer circa 1609 might be a bit skunky.

Or have a shit ton of alcohol? :D

I trade beers every once in awhile with my coworker. It works better to try them that way then to buy an entire 6 or 12 pack only to discover you don't like it. Anyway, he gave me a Guiness Extra Stout that I finally got around to trying last night. That was really good. Strange as it may seem with the different beer I've tried, I had never tried a Guiness, any Guiness. I picked up a 6 pack of that tonight.

Has anyone tried Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Ale? Man, I love Sierra Nevada brews, but that one was a little too strong for my tastes.

Bigfoot is tremendous. And it is one of the better beers to age long term.

Interesting tidbit about the throwback Colas.

When Pepsi and Coke started using and buying up sugar (sucrose) it drove the cost of sugar sky high. Using HFCS was cheaper and easier to get.

They have driven the cost of sugar up due to supply and demand significantly.

We use a lot of sucrose (sugar) at work and this drove our cost way up on our sucrose containing products.

So you're saying that everytime I purchase a "throwback" pop I am sabotaging your business? :hmmm:

now drinking: Bell's Batch 9000

Sam Adams Noble Pils...

Moose Drool

http://justbeer.files.wordpress.com/...oosedrool1.jpg

I may switch to Alaskan IPA soon. I picked up a case to fill in the holes in the Man Cave Fridge today.

http://beerandmicrobrews.com/alaske-ipa.jpg

selling Big Sky down here now...haven't tried it.

I have done a lot of brewing and this is one of my top three picks off the shelf. It's a damn good beer. I make sales call on the Big Sky Brewing Company and make sure to make the calls at around 4-5pm. :D The owner is also a good guy and takes care of me when I make those calls.

I'll pick some up. A friend and I swap beer so this will be good.
He gave me some "dead guy ale" very good.

Rogue Dead Guy Ale is a stone-cold classic.

How is it?

I'm a huge fan of Moose Drool. I picked up a 18 pack sampler of Big Sky, my favorite was the Moose Drool. I thought Scape Goat was also good, and the Big Sky was ok (a little to sharp for my taste).

That is also one of my top three choices. Let me know what you think of the "Drool."

I have some Scape Goat in the Man Cave Fridge as well. Also a very good beer.

Drink of choice tonight will be.......Sangria.

Going to a cuban resteraunt that has awesome food, and delicious sangria all for a very good price

That sounds like a good drink of choice, but what are you eating off the menu?

I've had a couple of Skull Spliters tonight. It is in my top 5.

http://www.sinclairbreweries.co.uk/skull_splitter.html

I will have to look into that, sounds tasty and a great story on the brewery. :thumb:
