om nom nom nom. actually, it's a solid meh.

[Thrax]

I think the harvest moon is pretty gross. Very bitter.

I had Kuhnhenn's Classic American, Pilsner and Draak this evening. Draak got worse as the night went along; pretty hoppy and not my style. The rest was top-notch.

[Gargoyle]

Tonight I had a Columbus Brewing Company Apricot Ale (delicious), a home brew a friend of mine made (tasty but with an enormous head), a Boulevard Wheat (usually yummy but this bottle tasted like watery mead?!), and a Yuengling (dependable).

[primesuspect]

I had 3 glasses of Kuhnhenn's A Few Shillings Too Many.

Delicioso!

Sam Adams Oktoberfest. It's growing on me.

Had my first heineken the other day. Not a bad beer. Definitely no Oberon or Sam Adams, but it's a safe pick at the typical bar that has only coors and bud on draft.

My last enjoyable beer was Sam Adams' Summer Ale, on tap at the restaurant to which my girlfriend and I took my sister and brother-in-law out to dinner on Saturday.

I find it immeasurably better in taste and drinkability than the Boston Ale.

[pigflipper]

If you had any of the rum at the LAN that I brought, then that was Sailor Jerry, or if you did one of the Retarded Tigers (High Life (8oz)+ sour + shot of Sailor dropped in).

All I remember are people having it at the LAN and getting HAMMERED because of that lovely 92 proof goodness.

ooooohhh ok! Yeah, I tried the rum, didn't do the Retarded Tiger. Man, surprised I didn't remember that taste. Probably because I sampled so much that night (no to mention Ryder's Blue label. Took the cake.)

Awesome. Still on the hunt for Sailor Jerry locally....

[cherplunka]

just for the record,,,,

just because i'm having a glass of private stock,
does not meant there is not a bottle of jerry on my shelf

i don't drink beer, so the sailor is actually my casual drink of choice.

....scotch is just to darn expensive for partying on.

[UPSLynx]

Ah the booze stash under the bed. Is the hidden Jerry under the bed an exclusive case, or do you have a liquor cabinet of sorts down there?

Last night had a baileys on the rocks (mmmm like drinking coffee) and a Sam Adams, ala Fatcat. I love Sam Adams so much.

I assumed Ryder was a LAN attendee with great taste in scotch.

Oh, classy move Eggroll! Ryder hooked me up with a glass, so I assumed it was his.

Tonight I did well for myself. Kingpin picked up some Bell's Oberon. First Oberon I've had since I visited ICHQ after the Dream Theater concert. It was excellent.

Cherplunka, I know you're not big on beer, but if you ever cross paths with a bottle of Oberon, do give it a try. I think you'd like it. I hated beer until I drank Oberon. But it's brewed in Michigan, so you'd be hard pressed to find it on the west coast.

After that I tried a Stella Artois Belgian lager.. Very impressed, I liked it a lot.

Good night for drinks.

I've recently discovered Kopparberg pear Cider.. Ever since my days of getting totally legless when I was 14 in the park on White Lightning, etc I can't drink Cider at all.

But after tasting this pear Cider I was hooked..

I was at the pub last night and had a Bulmers pear cider but it still tasted like the normal Apple cider and I nearly borked!! :(

Kopparberg for the win, my new fave drink.

Finally just went out and picked up a bottle of Sailor Jerry and had some last night.

[pigflipper]

Remember the "Retarded Tiger" from the LAN? Yeah, well I did seven (7_) of those tongiht. Woah. I highly recommend thse to anybody who likes saoilr jerry and/pr beer.

The Retarded Tiger

Description:

8oz Miller High Life (substitute light beer of choice if you wish)
1 (one) strong squeeze of lime juice (or 2/3 shot of sour mix)
1 shot of Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum 92 proof (or captain/admiral nelson if you are going the "light" route)

take 8oz of High Life, pour in glass. Dump in the Lime Juice/Sour Mix. Toast. Drop in shot of spiced rum. Chug. Do the Retarded Tiger (make weird retarded sounding tiger noise while making tiger claw with drinking hand)

I know this sounds disgusting, but if you play with the mixture just right, it should taste like a REAL Key Lime Pie when drinking aka pleasently sour with a very hint of sweet.

Enjoy this Tallahassee (birth place of Icrontic) original.

[UPSLynx]

Awesome, thanks for that post Piggeh! Gonna give it a shot one of these days.

Wedding last night. Had a gin and tonic, Sam Adams, and Baileys.

Also had some Drambuie on the rocks. EXCELLENT HONEY SCOTCH.

[UPSLynx]

Had my first Newcastle Brown Ale last night. Very good. Rolled out with co workers after a VERY long day of election work at the studio. I toasted to America and it's further prosperity and enjoyed that delicious beer.

I want to be at a bar for future elections. The general positive attitude was contagious.

Absolut Citron + crushed ice + lemonade + lemon slice = Citrusy Goodness.

Seems like there's a trend for big breweries to make "microbrewed-style" beers now. I've seen Budweiser do it, Michelob has their six craft brews, etc. Last night I tried the Labatt's attempt. I had Labatt's Honey Lager and Labatt's Signature Ale.

The signature ale was meh. The honey was good enough that I had a second bottle.

[Thrax]

Yeah, the Honey Lager isn't bad, though Michelob's is much better. It's not great, but it's worth drinking once or twice.

[UPSLynx]

I tried the Bud American Ale.... they were handing it out at the club I went to Halloween night. I have to admit, it's better than any other Bud I've had, but that isn't saying much. I wouldn't buy a bottle, but I think BLL has a challenger on it's hands.

Funny trend though. Perhaps the masses are finally waking up to the suck that is American domestic beers.

Champagne glasses are entirely overrated. It's so much harder to break 10ga tempered glass bottles.

[shwaip]

gonna go to the local dive bar (2 blocks) and share a pitcher or two of pbr with my roomie and her cousin.

[Khaos]

Optional? But then you'd be skipping out on the best part :)
Yeah, without the whiskey your Irish Coffee just turned into a Crapichino.

[SPIKE09]

So I picked up my first bottle of scotch (http://www.lovescotch.com/productDetail.php?pid=76).

Pretty damn pleased with it too. I don't know much of the expected flavors, but it certainly has a great finish and has been a pretty great drink over the last couple weeks (our New Year's guests enjoyed it too!).

Price point for me was $40, would certainly recommend it.
As i live fairly close to this and the other distillery you mention Excellent choices and the current exchange rates make for great value for you :bigggrin:

[pigflipper]

Not drinking tonight unless I can find a bottle of 150+ proof alcohol, go back in time a week and mix something in it to soak for a few days.

[pigflipper]

Ended up drinking a sixer of Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat last night.

[mondi]

Tonight. This was listed as a Caol Ila on the menu which was what sparked my interest. One of the better peated malts I've had since the Ardbeg Airigh Nam

[primesuspect]

i hate you so much

[UPSLynx]

lord. why.

why.

Tonight I tried Natural light.

One of my old college buds stops by with a 12 back of natty light. IN CANS. I've heard nothing but the absolute WORST about this beer, so I had to try it just to say I've experienced.

It is the worst beer out there. To call it beer is doing the general beverage a disservice. This is water with a touch of bad beer taste.

How can they even sell this garabage?

Worst drink I've ever had. Natty Light is awful beyond words...


...but every last one of you already knew that, didn't you?

[primesuspect]

It is good enough for Jimbo, my ex's father, so it's good enough for me! ;D

No, not so much.

[cambrose]

I had the privilege of a delicious landshark lager last night. Not the best but since I love Mr. Buffett, it was enjoyable enough.

[pragtastic]

Stain and I were drinking some Tommyknocker Nut Brown last night, pretty freakin' tasty (http://www.tommyknocker.com/ourBeer.html#Imperial).

[revorocks]

Nuffink :(

[pigflipper]

Last night I was once again drinkin that Sailor Jerry, but mixed with orange soda this time. Tasted like an orange cremecicle with alcohol; quite good.

Then I moved onto some more Sunset Wheat.

Then we started doing shots of Yukon Jack. It was at this point that I got on irc...

[Bobby1211]

I was given a gift set of The Glenlivet and a couple of glasses. I broke open this bad boy over the weekend and was amazed. Its so delicious. I think I will be saying so long to Johnny as my go to guy!

[Funny that a couple guys a few posts up had the same drink. Must have been a popular gift :-P]a

Oh goodness...that was SO GOOD.

Right now I'm having a glass of 47 Pound Rooster Merlot (http://www.rexgoliath.com/rexgoliath/catalog/view_product.jsp?product_id=1007&cat_id=1). Cheap and tasty!

I must try this.

Got the old standby Jerry and coke at the club last night. And a bombay gin and tonic. And a newcastle brown ale. They had good picks behind the bar there.

...Jerry and coke being an old standby, I only discovered it 5 months ago!

HELL YES.

[AlexDeGruven]

Hmm... so many choices.

Daily driver: Diet Mt. Dew
Morning Kicker: Monster Blue (Lo-Carb):rarr:

Now for the fun stuff:

Beers (Talk to me if you can't find any of these fine brews in your area):
Theakston's Old Peculier
Fuller's ESB
Fuller's London Porter
Rogue Brutal Bitter
Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout
Samuel Smith's Taddy Porter
Bell's Christmas Ale
And, of course, good ole Guinness if nothing else is available

Harder Stuff:
Grey Goose Vodka is a delightful treat now and then
Johnny Walker Black
Chivas Regal
Jack Daniel's Old Number 7 is always a classic


So, that turned more into a list of my favorites than anything else. Nothing wrong with that, I suppose.

[pigflipper]

Tonight, we came up with a new drink. This is Version 1 (ONE) of the latest craze out of Tallahassee. Remember, Tallahassee brought you the Water Moccasin and the Retarded Tiger.

Yoda Punch:

2 drops Tiger Sauce (a hot sauce)
half shot of sour
half shot Sailor Jerry

This is a shot.

Anyone have a 'Rocky Mountain Bear ****er'? That stuff is just twisted!

Where does one obtain 'sour', what does it look like?

Wouldn't mind making a tom collins now and then.

[Gnome Queen]

Copious amounts of ice water. God I miss beer.

[Bobby1211]

Collins is just a tall Yellowish bottle you should find near the liquer

Some say its a "shortcut" because it is really easy (and better, and sometimes cheaper) to make your own

Enjoy!

[RyderOCZ]

Wouldn't mind making a tom collins now and then.They make a bottle of "Sour Mix" also. Should be in the booze aisle at the supermarket/meijers.

[Koreish]

Jack and Coke and lots of it. Also the classic Bud Light due to it's cheapness and not really all that great but better than Natty Light Taste. Mix in Jeager and Jose Cuervo shot and that my friends is one ****ed up night :D

As a side note avoid Sam Adams at all costs it taste like a recently ****ed monkey's ass.

[shwaip]

Going to celebrate the inauguration (late) with my girlfriend. We'll have some champagne and cool ranch doritos to go with them.

Quoted for inaccuracies. Sam Adams. Good beer. leagues better than bud. Agree or GTFO

^ This!

Tonight I will be drinking whatever gutrot alcohol is in the house since I am too poor currently to go get even a bottle of ABC Vodka.

[Koreish]

I'll agree its better than Bud but it is not the beer I've heard it made out to be. I was disappointed which is prolly what led to that statement. I still prefer a Guinness double stout by leagues more.

[Mr TRiot]

Tonight I'm going to be drinking "Grant's Family Reserve Scotch Whiskey" and "Marie Brizard Blue Curaco"

Yay for birthday booze!

And yes, it's green.

Sticking with the KC classics tonight Caribou Lou for the cocktails and Boulevard Wheat for the beers. KCMO!!!

[airbornflght]

caribou lou is awesome.

[UPSLynx]

Had an epic beer night at ICHQ. I tried a Maudite. Frigging crap, that's a GOOD beer.

Also tried Bell's cherry stout. Good taste, super thick beer. Very heavy. It was good, but I enjoyed it less as it went on.

[cambrose]

http://www.newbelgium.com/beer/mothership-wit Had one last night and love it.

OMG Caribou Lou? I didn't know that it had made it's way out of Kansas City, Misery.

[pigflipper]

Last night, due to a lack of mixing materials, my friend and I finished her bottle of Sailor Jerry with five (5) straight shots each. On top of my other...fun...I woke up this morning on her couch wondering what the **** beat me in the head last night (besides her thighs)

[pragtastic]

Two more Balvenie's scratched off the list: this (http://www.lovescotch.com/productDetail.php?pid=75) and this (http://www.lovescotch.com/productDetail.php?pid=74)

The 15 was very pleasant and smooth. The Portwood on the other hand was fantastic, even though I'm pretty sure some of its complexity was lost on me as I'm pretty new to Scotch drinking.

[MiracleManS]

New Amsterdam Gin when I get home...delicious.

MiracleManS and I put some Captain Morgan: Black Cask down this weekend. Delicious w/ Coke and guaranteed to knock you on your ass.

[chrisWhite]

Great, now I'm thirsty, thanks all. What I'd kill for would be a Hoegaarden or, better yet, a 21st Amendment Fat Bavarian followed up with a smooth whiskey, probably Bushmills. That, or I'd kill for a Guinness right now.

He's speaking from experience. He spent like an hour and a half at my place sleeping after drinking two glasses.

I'm thinking that today, since it is one of my roommates bdays, we will be drinking pitchers of cheap domestic crap. yay! maybe I can convince them to at least get one pitcher of Yuengling.

Tonight, I found out my favorite bar (the one my roommates work at) has started to pick up Sailor Jerry again...$3 for a double Sailor and Coke: Is this heaven?

Yep, that's the bottle I've been drinking for a while, really wonderful Scotch. So good. Now I'm thirsty again.

[chrisWhite]

So you guys are all listening to Beer School (http://www.beerschool.com/), right? Freaking love that show.

[chrisWhite]

Damn, I just picked up and opened a bottle of Bushmills Black Bush and it's completely blown me away. I don't typically have the opportunity to try $50-100+ whiskeys so take this with a grain of salt but this whiskey is hands down the best I've ever had. It's incredible smooth at it's start but it picks up some pepper as you go despite finishing remarkably clean. The color is an unusually dark beutiful amber that I assume comes from they sherry cask aging and provides a touch of sweetness with layers of complexity to keep you tasting.

I'll definitly be enjoying this bottle and it's at a price that I might put a few bottles away to continue aging, either way at under $35 this is an incredible deal.
