What are you drinking?

[NDinMich]

I have had that Lagunitas Undercover and you are right it is pretty good but not as good as most of their other offerings. Do you get any of Stone Brewing's beers up there?

No, can't say I've heard of it either. I'll be on the lookout for it though. I've been trying to try as many Lagunitas as I can and as many Shorts beers as I can lately (Michigan only brewery but outstanding, voted top 5 at the Great American Beer Fest this year).

Any recommendations if I can find it?

I'm drinking PBR tonight and watching the Niners beat the **** out of Da Bears. Just got done feeding my son carrots and he's like his old man... not a fan.

 

[PraetorianND]

Drinking chardonnay watching my Niners put it down on the Bears. Err scotch.... Drinking scotch.

I've been researching high schools in the area where we'll be moving to and found a school with a fantastic football program! My son turns 3 months tomorrow and I'm already looking into high schools.

Where are you moving? My son is 14 months and I've been doing the same thing.

If you like IPAs I say try Stone's standard IPA IPA (India Pale Ale) - Stone Brewing Co. - Escondido, CA - BeerAdvocate A classic example of a west coast IPA.

Just poured the first half of a Goose Island Sofie. Sofie - Goose Island Beer Co. - Chicago, IL - BeerAdvocate

Looks like champage. Citrus, vanilla, a touch of yeast, white pepper, some malt and it is rather fizzy. A good beer, but not as sour as I was hoping it would be.

Drinking green tea tonight. Teaching my second science class right now (they're quizzing in case you're wondering)... so no 'fun with drinking' tonight.

Whoa, baller! Mr. High Class!!!!

 

[PraetorianND]

We're moving to the San Antonio area. I'm excited about being around Texas football... I love it.

Nice, you gonna send him to Corey Robinson's high school?

Jealous, I got my Texas credential and everything with the intent of moving to San Antonio... hasn't worked out as of yet and doesn't look like it will. Love SA though.

Whoa, baller! Mr. High Class!!!!

LMFAO

 

[PraetorianND]

Haha... I've thought about it. I'm leaning more towards Byron P. Steele II High School.

Well from the looks of that meatball it looks like he's going to be a fullback or linebacker anyway. As long as he's bustin heads it's all good.

A little high class. Tomorrows brew is Russian River Supplication Supplication - Russian River Brewing Company - Santa Rosa, CA - BeerAdvocate Now that is high class.

Russian River has amazing beers! That one sounds delicious. You're either an old man or wise beyond your years, pkt!

I am 31, not quite old yet, though my 2 boys do make me feel old. Russian River has some great beers, I have probably had about 10-12 different offerings from them. All have been enjoyable to amazing.

Now the other half of my Goose Island Sofie.

Yeah, they've also got some good food. We went out there a while back and it was a really cool place. Great live music and a wonderful atmosphere. You are old... I'm a young 28! How old are your 2 boys? They playing football yet?

 

[BobD]

I'm drinking whatever the 49ers are serving.

A little too young for football yet as they are 3 years old and 11 months. The 3 year old probably won't play football (well unless he is the kicker/punter or a Deion Sanders type of corner) as he isn't very aggressive. Now the youngest is very aggressive and I think he would make a great football player. He loves to headbutt people and then laugh about it (pretty funny because it almost brings my wife to tears while he is cackling like a madman).

Haha... very cool. I just got done telling a friend of my wife's from Arkansas that my son won't be going to an SEC school like she suggested. I told her he's gonna be ND class of 2030.

 

[pkt77242]

AD Rattray Royal Lochnagar 1996 14yo Sherry cask. Rather nice. Lots of butterscotch, some malt and a touch of strawberry.

Have y'all checked out Maynard's video - "ND vs The Analysts" yet? It's badass!

 

[pkt77242]

Berry Bros and Rudd Clynelish 1997 14yo.

 

[pkt77242]

Gordon & Macphail Longmorn 30yo. A very good whisky. varnished oak, sweet breads, some cherries, vanilla and pencil shavings.

 

[pkt77242]

Scott's Selection Macallan 1985 21yo.

 

[pkt77242]

Had some Nikka Taketshumaya 17 year last night. At work right now, so it's just coffee and smokes.

Had some Banff last weekend (1st time for the Banff)-so smooth, so good!

I wish that more Japanese whisky made it over here as it can be very good.

 

[pkt77242]

Last one for me for tonight.

Gordon & Macphail Secret Stills 2.2 (Cragganmore) 1966 40yo sherry casks. A damn good whisky.
