What are you drinking?

[OCIrish]

Bud Light is better than Miller Light.

No......no its not, and it's not even close......

 

[OCIrish]

You call that fancy? I drink it in a damn champagne glass---it's the champagne of beers after all.

No, that's high life.

 

[IrishJayhawk]

Just go with a good session IPA instead. Lower alcohol content and calories, but with flavor. Lagunitas DayTime, Founders All Day IPA, or the Stone Go To IPA are some of the best.

That would be "The Champagne of Bottled Beers."

In your honor, I got a Port Brewing Shark Attack Double Red Ale.

Very Good. I'm not usually a Red guy but that was good. After some painting on the house today, Going to Pizza Port to score a wheel and some IPA's. Also want to try the Brown Ale called Board Meeting, people talk about like Sculpin and Enjoy By.

.

I am glad that you enjoyed it. I am not usally a fan of the typical amber/red ales but I really like hoppy reds. OK I just really like hoppy beers.

Ballast Point Sculpin For me while I prepare dinner (shredded beef Chimichangas With some corn off the Cobb pan fried in butter with loads of cumin).

I wonder what beer Alford drank after he took the OSU job.









Okay, I'm done.

Hopslam in the house! It's chilling in the fridge as we speak.

Just got my first six pack last night. Having one right now. Just lovely.

Indeed. Cap yourself at 6, and switch to something softer after. I get a raunchy headache personally with anything more than that.

I figured you of all people would appreciate a "Minnesota Martini"

Nope. Noop. Nyet. Nein. Non.

"... the concoction is made with ice wine. The dessert wine is made from grapes frozen on the vine, and hence has more concentrated sugar. But when combined with the vodka ..."

1) I am not a native Minnesotan.
2) It ain't a Martini if Vodka is involved.
3) "Sweet" and Martini are violently antithetical.
4) I've been to the Dakota Jazz Club.
5) They are a pretentious, overpriced bunch.
6) I preferred "The Dakota" when they were in St. Paul. More Jazz, less chichi.
7) "Where the Grapes Suffer" is the catch-phrase of regional vintner.
8) Wine has no right, authority or raison d'être in a martini.
9) A toothpicked cube of rutabaga or parsnip or horseradish might be nice.
10) Catch you later. I'll be in my lah-boor-a-tory.

Avery The Czar Imperial Stout. Only on dictator left in the fridge now (Maharaja!).

I'll gladly swing by and post an eval on that Old Guardian. Mo Hops... Mo Betta.

.

No doubt. Like Old Guardian, interested to see what the extra hops do to the beer.

Watching golf , Rangers v Stars and Ducks v Tampa Bay .

I was extremely pleased by this year's offering. Very very well balanced in my opinion.

I'm a little upset we didn't get this batch. I've heard it's pretty good. I just had a 32 oz. Lagunitas Sucks and I'm following it with a Founders Porter which I really enjoy and have been drinking a lot of.

 

[scUM Hater]

Good Ole Lagunitas IPA

Michigan got the 2/14/15 according to Stone. Now the 3/14/15 is not coming to Michigan and that is sad.

 

[scUM Hater]

Yeah 2/14/15 came to Michigan

I am in Northern Michigan about 90 minutes from any freeway. We have one really good beer store and one ok beer store. We didn't get this batch. It sucks. And I didn't know the bolded part, that is sad.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Lagunitas IPA and Deschutes Not the Stoic. The latter really impressed me. Novel take a Belgian Quad. Partially aged in used oak wine barrels, it's the most vinous smelling beer I've ever had. The taste reinforces that, as tannins from the wine barrels give it a little red wine-like dryness. Hides the ABV well. Highly recommended.

Northern Lower. Lake Huron side. Beautiful part of the state, long ways from you though (couple of hours right scUMHater?).
