Sipping on a George Dickel Rye on the rocks, after long, but quite eventful, Halloween shenanigans...

Kicking off my 3 day weekend with a Victory Golden Monkey, 9.5% abv spiced triple. Gonna go play some poker at Delaware Park with the daytime degens then go visit my father to watch the ND game. Pizza and a lower abv beer then because I'll have to drive home at midnight.

Smooth, easy drinking Busch Light with my brother in law as we flip through the early college games in preparation for the better games later.

Founders Harvest Ale Wet Hopped IPA. This is the best of the Founders IPAs that I have had but that isn't saying much. It pales in comparison to the Sierra Nevada wet hop IPAs. I don't get the hype that surrounds Founders, outside of their Stouts (which are great) I have been disappointed by everything else.

Oh...I disagree. Taste so good.

That was Dick's point. The colder something is, the less you taste it. Thus, sh!tty adjunct lagers advertise their "coldness" (a property which the brewer has no control over) as a tacit admission that "You really don't want to taste this". Darker and more flavorful beers are almost always better at cellar temperature (50-55 F), so you can actually appreciate them.

Very frustrating when I order a nice beer and it comes out in a frosty mug.

While I agree with your general point, I am not sure that I consider Guinness to be a high quality beer (at best it is extremely average to me and might even benefit from me not tasting it).

On that point a little miller High Life as I am cooking my sausage in it and had about 8oz leftover.

Agreed. Used to like Guiness but the more I've gotten into other stouts the more I find it watery.

Don't hate me.

I think I love you.

Wine and beer are much the same. The lighter they are, the more they benefit from the "crispness" that comes with chilling. The richer, heartier and full flavored they are the more they benefit from standing on their own. "Let the sunshine in."

Years (and years and years) ago I went to some schlocky chain restaurant for St. Patrick's Day at the insistence of (my now ex) wife. They had Guinness on tap. I ordered one.

The first (foreshadowing) came with no head. I commented to the server. He thought he was doing me a favor. I explained the Guinness Mystique. He returned with another in a frosted glass with head intact. I balked again.

I accompanied him back to the bar. The barkeep understood and appreciated. He pulled me a proper Guinness.

Not as good as in The Motherland but much mo' better.

How long does it take, 119.5 seconds? Or is that a myth?
