What are you drinking?

[Irishman77]

Have you had SUCKS? If not you should try it.

Sucks is my favorite laguanitas by far...It's all gone right now here!

Mission Carrack Imperial Red Ale. A pretty good Hop Red if you like that style (not the best but worth trying).

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Chimay

Chimay

Blue, white or red?

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Blue, white or red?

Blue because that's what they had at Costco. Really like the Red as well, never had the white yet. The Red and Blue are each probably in my top 10 beers, are you a Chimay fan?

 

[Saint Shamrock]

Breakfast Stout .

Founders is jolly good

No doubt about that.

32 oz SUCKS for me. Need to find more!

Was in SB for the game yesterday, picked up some Gumballhead (no Zombie Dust unfortunately) and Enjoy by 10.31.14. Cant wait to try them!

I think that Blue is very good and the Red is good while I am not a fan of White.

What other Belgian beers have you had?

Have you had Trappistes Rochefort 10? or St. Bernardus Abt 12? Those are probably my two favorite Belgian beers.

Have you had any of Unibroue's beers such as La Terrible or Trois Pistoles?

 

[Black Irish]

Stone 18th Anniversary on tap. Good, not great.

 

[greyhammer90]

Had a "straight out of ale Oktoberfest" last night. Decent beer. Imagine Sam Adams Oktoberfest but with more sweetness.

 

[Irishman77]

My local liquor store was kind of to alert me the Elijah Craig barrel proof was in and they held one of the bottles back for me...very fired up to taste!

I don't believe I've had any of those so I'm putting them on my list. Thanks for the suggestions.

[Classic Irish]

Just had a Shuggie Soul Bender IPA by SingleCut Beer Smiths. Very, very good!

 

[zelezo vlk]

Glass of Sangiovese. The bottle was given to me and it's not awful. That's a win in my book.

Deschutes Hop Trip Pale Ale. I really like this Pale Ale

Hops from vine to kettle within 4 hours. Some really nice citrus and malt with a little tropical fruit thrown in. If you like Pale Ales this is worth getting.

That is always a positive with a bottle that is a gift.

What kind of wine do you normally like?

Last night I had
2012 Cave de Roquebrun Saint-Chinian Terrasses de Cabrio GSM 2012. A nice GSM blend from France that I got from Costco for $10. It either needs to be decanted for 1-2 hours or another year or two of aging as it was really closed at first but was already improving by the second glass. Going to use a little to make a red wine reduction for some pork tenderloin tomorrow and drink the rest.

Locking up the compound and heading to Stone in Escondido... This is gonna be the longest 15 minutes of my life. So thirsty!

I normally am a dry red kinda guy. However, since I'm mostly a newbie at this, I try basically anything available and try not to be too picky. The Sangiovese was a bit more acidic than I was hoping but still much better than expected.

I can never get enough Chianti Classico. I think I would give up Guinness before I gave up Classico.

I also love to cook with wine. WC Fields put it best, "I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food."

Gumballhead.

 

[ACamp1900]

In honor of Salma and Penelope in the other thread... Sippin on a Margarita

 

[Black Irish]

Jefferson bourbon. Good but not good enough for the price.

 

[ACamp1900]

Got some Dos Equis Green,... everything needed for Cadillac Margaritas and three pounds of marinated and pre-chopped carne asada...

I'm ready to celebrate the re-birth of ND football in style tomorrow boys.

 

[NDdomer2]

Anyone make a fall mix? Im sure everyone has had some apple pie.

 

[ACamp1900]

My wife makes really good hard apple cider from scratch...

That is the best way to go. I love red wine (Cali Cabs, Bordeaux (left or right bank), Rhone blends, Merlot (if from a good region), most Italian wines, Zins, Malbec, etc) though lately I have been working my way through some Spanish wines (mostly Rioja and some Monastrell).

Is that legal on the Left Coast?

My wife and I only drink reds... mostly Merlots... I'm curious on your thoughts here, Tisdale.

Tisdale is basically a two buck chuck out here but much better than the average TBC... and we both really like their Merlot especially. Ever had? (Again, keeping in mind it's a 'cheap' wine).

I have not had Tisdale but I will now look for it next time I am at the grocery store and report back.

I have to admit that my go to "grocery store" wine is Smoking Loon Merlot (in particular the 2010 vintage was good) but most have been solid. A nice wine to cook and enjoy the rest of the bottle.
