MOTHAFUCKIN' BOOZE TIME

[Naylzie]

I, having not been able to find Espresso Oak Aged Yeti, went for what I presume to be the next best thing: Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti. It's quite good. I thought there was a more pronounced alcohol burn than I'd expect from an aged stout with >10% ABV until I found out there's a pinch of cayenne in the brew.  Nice.

This sounds both deadly and delicious.  I'll have to see if the liquor store by my folks' place carries it.  Apparently their selection is pretty decent.  We got the Leinenkugel's Berry Weiss there.

*drool*

Beloved's step-Mom is stupendously awesome.  After a bit of a trying vacation, some of which is already in the vent thread, she decided she needed to pick up some beer for the last night here, which she graciously shared, after assuring us that, knowing what she does of our distaste for beer, we'd like this if we'd ever like any kind of beer.  She was quite right, and we sure as hell needed it too, after this week.

It's a wheat beer, so it's light, and the berry note is very strong, but not too sweet.  Note: the berry weiss will overpower the flavor of the honey weiss, so if you're inclined to sample the latter, do it first.  I can't give a fair opinion on the honey weiss because the berry just dominated my taste buds.

Sangria with strawberries tonight. Such a simple pleasure. I like to use a tiny wine glass. That way I can refill my glass repeatedly and give myself the illusion that I am having a lot more than I really am.

Cigar City Maduro Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Brown Ale

Fuckin. Awesome.

[luna]

Kaulua and half and half. Not really a good summer drink . But fucking nummy none the less.

2 and a half screwdrivers last night, which is a half too much than my typical low tolerance limit. to be honest, it was more like 3 and a half I had,one place served them in a small cup,the other in a huge glass. needless to say, there was a lot of texting/calling going on after it..nothing stupid,just fun stuff.

this past winter was rough, I was drinking absinthe nearly every night for a month or two straight. haven't had any in a while..it's not too bad.

funny little note: I never heard of a screwdriver until I saw the film Jackie Brown and Samuel L Jackson's character was drinking it throughout the movie. I thought "that's pretty bad ass,I have to try that" ..to my surprise it wasn't a bad ass drink,just oj and vodka, ha.

[luna]

screwdrivers were my drink of choice before i got into beer, i tried to order one when i was in london and the guy didn't know what the hell i was talking about

currently in my fridge are granville island raspberry ale and hoegaarden, i <3 summer

[r00]

my latest drink kick has been a cherry lime-aid sort of thing.

- lemon-lime flavored vodka
- 7-Up
- grenadine

yummy.

[boom]

Damn r00, that sounds delicious! Will definitely be trying that one. Plus I found out I get a discount on booze at my job

[r00]

That discounted booze will come in handy when dealing with the jerks.  Mommy's little helper.  8-p

Fall marks my favorite beer season. Up here, the fall beers are already rolling in. Yesterday, I picked up a 12 pack of a variety of "summer" themed sam adams beers (while I still can!)

I did not really enjoy the Rustic Saison, but the East-West Kolch was really good.

[rynne]

I totally agree on fall being the best beer season. This is about the time Mrs. rynne and I start to get excited for the impending pumpkin beer releases.


Good news! Fat Tire has finally got a distributor in Maryland. In the past I've only had it west of the Mississippi.  CSB: I saw a guy with a Fat Tire t-shirt at our B&B this summer.  When I complimented him, he told me I was the first stranger to know what the shirt meant.  Since it only had the bike logo and "Fat Tire" on it, most people thought it meant he was a cyclist.

Kinda like the adult who told a teenage rynne that he appreciated his t-shirt's affirmation of faith. He was not corrected on the actual meaning of "Jesus Built My Hotrod."

[Aaron]

hahahahh. So Jesus didn't build your Hotrod? Damn. 

I have tried Blue Moon's Pumpkin beer, and I didn't think it was pumpkiny enough... Good, just not quite what I wanted. (I still liked it, just wasn't what I thought it would be like at all.)

I'm gona be drinking energy drinks all day, and night. Since I work late, then early. (1pm-9pm today, and then I got back in at 5am tomorrow morning.)

Tried a variety box from Left Hand Brewery. Milk stouts still the best, but the 400 lb monkey, and the stranger are pretty good. the perverse part of me laughts at left hand brewery's the stranger more than i should though.


hearing good things about shipyards pumpkin ale. must try.

[kristin]

Dogfish Head Punkin = my favorite pumpkin beer. UFO has a good one, too. Shipyard is too spicy/artificial tasting for me.
