AMP...because I hate my bones being too dense.
I also hate: my liver, my heart, my kidneys, my pancreas, my gull bladder...did I miss anything?
Ovaries?
My only nod to Bushmills stems from a trip to Ireland in 1990. My wife and I were on a lengthy trip that involved renting a car and doing a "circle tour" while occasionally dipping into the interior.
It was late October. We were in the north on a blustery, cool and rainy day tromping around the countryside. We were drenched and miserable and decided to pop into the Bushmills Distillery. We were the only ones there and the gent manning the bar had nothing better to do than serve us a few free hot toddies each until we warmed up.
Hopping in the car to drive to The Devil's Causeway may not have been the best decision – driving on the "opposite" side of the road, shifting the manual transmission with my left hand and smashing the bill of my cap into the window when looking up and to the right (out of habit) to glance in the rear view mirror – but we survived.
Finally found Lagunitas SUCKS and Bell's Hopslam (both have been in real short supply around here). Having a SUCKS right now...as good as I remember it.
When you make it to the west side of the State, find a Mega-Bev, they always have Lagunitas in stock.
I am drinking Arbor Brewing- Mr.Delicious, double IPA with a nice malty finish. Probably the best IPA I have tasted. Also had A Saugatuck Brewing- Neapolitan Milk Stout. More Chocolaty taste than vanilla and strawberry as advertised. But pretty good otherwise.
Brilliant marketing by the Left Hand Brewery.
Left Hand Brewing calls 'audible' on Peyton Manning's Bud Light
Early start today eh?
I'll start with this: Bud light is not a beer. It is a sad, carbonated soft drink infused with alcohol. It has vile hints of poorly processed rice. Wait. Did I say "hints?" Nay. Both Bud and Bud light should be prosecuted for abuse of rice, which can play an exquisite role in an alcoholic beverage.
My son gave me a bottle of Milk Stout Nitro from Left Hand Brewing Co. after a Thanksgiving dinner with his girlfriend's family. If I could afford it, at the volume of beer I consume, it would be my everyday brew. An obvious payoff. Manning can't be that taste bud dead ... unless blows to the head have taken a toll on his taste bud receptors to "oh, that's gooood brain receptors."
Law school semester just started. I don't have a lot to do right now and I have one class on Friday. I pregame with good shit so I can drink trash later at the bars for cheap.
Pregame at 2 in the pm? Outstanding.
Like I said the semester just started, it's just one of those days. I literally thought about everything I could do. Reading for Monday? Three day weekend. Research? Can't, don't know my topic. Apartment is clean, and I already have plans for dinner taken care of... Sounds like as good day to see how long I can maintain a steady buzz. Plus Ten Fiddy might be the best stout I've ever tasted.
Due to my usual liquor store slowly recovering from a week and a half of no deliveries because of Snowmageddon, I came home with some Arrogant Bastard Ale. Seen it mentioned here a few times, figured I'd try it.
Bomber #2 down. Not a "hallelujah" moment after that first sip, but I'm definitely enjoying the ride. Has a nice bite to it, and I'm intrigued now to try Stone IPA and some of their other stuff.
