    Chris, I hear Leinenkugel's 1888 Bock is a great spring beer. I haven't tried it myself, been having trouble finding a six at my local shops. It's technically a late Christmas/Early spring bock. Spring is spring though.

    Picked up a six of 1888 bock tonight.

    This is good beer. Thick and rich in flavor. Slight bitterness at the finish and carries hints of caramel and chocolate. Real shame this is a seasonal.

    Grab some while you can!

    Also saw the local shop had Bushmills Black Bush on sale for $27 for the rest of the month in honor of St Patty's.

    I'm buying a bottle before the month is up.

    a LOT

    Nikki the hot Jersey bartender at Blvd 16 in Westwood was given carte blanche to "surprise me" - so after a wonderful (and long awaited) glass of Balvenie 15 single malt, I had one of her custom bloody marys (made with fresh horseradish among other things) and then a drink that had gin, fresh picked rosemary, and some kind of melon. After that she made a "Gin Dragon"

    THEN my buddy Jimmy Z from detroit shows up with some of his boys, and he proceeds to buy a round of jaegerbombs.

    I finished the evening with apple juice. srs.

    Draught Guinness from a can whilst watching vids of British Sea Power on Youtube.

    May just crack a little JD & coke innawhile. With lots of ice.

    Or maybe some merlot.

    Damn, what a boring Saturday night, John's birthday drink at the Coach and Horses was cancelled, he chose to take the wife for a meal.

    My goodness.

    I've been drinking Boon's Farm Sangria. It's actually a quite good Sangria. You could even dress it up with some fruit to make a cheap drink a little classier. :P

    OMG FLOPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    On another note: after the celebrations last night, alcohol is not on the agenda for a few days. Drinking lots of green tea instead.

    Recipe

    1. Take the juice from one bottle of that Ol' Janx Spirit.
    2. Pour into it one measure of water from the seas of Santraginus V.
    3. Allow three cubes of Arcturan Mega-gin to melt into the mixture (it must be properly iced or the benzene is lost).
    4. Allow four litres of Fallian marsh gas to bubble through it.
    5. Over the back of a silver spoon float a measure of Qalactin Hypermint extract.
    6. Drop in the tooth of an Algolian Suntiger.
    7. Sprinkle Zamphuor.
    8. Add an olive.
    9. Drink . . . but . . . very carefully . . .

    ... wtf!? :P

    Currently, I am drinking a nice cup of coffee w/ a good-sized serving of unsweetened soy-milk and one teaspoon of sugar. Excellent first thing in the morning while watch the Sunday talking heads.

    Last night, I sampled a bottle of Samuel Smith's Oatmeal stout while read "Marx in SOHO." I picked it up from the corner store on my way home. Suffice it to say that I was pleasantly surprised. The $3.99 bottle was worth every penny.

    Overall, the beer was hearty, smooth and mildly sweet. The initial rich, malt flavor was nicely balanced by a perfect amount of hops. Neither was overpowering, but the malt definitely took center stage giving it a nice, mild sweetness.

    As this is one of the first oatmeal stouts I have tried, it is hard to say how it compares to other oatmeal stouts, but my tastes buds were in heaven. I would highly recommend this to people who like to sip a dark, thick beer after a good meal, or while chatting with friends.

    Today I sampled a bottle of Ninkasi's Believer Double Red, and while it's definitely not like any of the few reds I've had before, I really enjoyed it.

    It has an intense hoppy bitterness that blends into a smooth malty finish. The malt also adds a hint of caramel sweetness that ties it all together nicely.

    All in all, this beer has strong, complex flavours that are surprisingly well-balanced. I'd highly recommend this to people who like to sip a rich, well-balanced beer that's bitter yet sweet.

    Got a 6er of Guinness Extra Stout last night....


    It's one of the worst beers I've ever had. The after taste is exactly like taking a bite out of unsweetened baking chocolate :eek:


    I just hope it's going to taste a little bit better when drank with some seafood chowder...

    What? No, Guinness is never a bad beer, it's just a wonderfully dark stout that is exceptional if you like that kind of beer. Trust your pallet and all that but Guinness superb.
