Nikolaus Report post Posted August 23, 2008 Ipa's rule too. Just dont try to polish the whole sixer. I guess its kinda mediocore, its like 6.? alcohol per beer. Redhook ipa's are good, but a little thick, I feel like I ate a steak dinner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MTgrayling Report post Posted August 23, 2008 I ventured out to a few bars last night. Ordered a Glenlivet and water at one, got it on the rocks!? Looked far and wide for Bushmills and not one bar here carries it, Pendleton is everywhere though. Really makes me want to drink at home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cowbwoy Report post Posted August 23, 2008 Sierra Nevada Anniversary 2008 last night. What I was looking for was the Chico Estate Harvest Ale, anyone seen it yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bksmithey Report post Posted August 23, 2008 I've seen the Southern Hemisphere Harvest ale in a couple of the larger liquor stores that I visit here in Colorado (bought a bottle, haven't tried it yet). From Sierra Nevada's web site it sounds like the Chico may see pretty limited distribution. I'll keep my eyes open but I'm not holding out much hope that I'll find any this year.

Le Gimp Report post Posted August 24, 2008 I had the Waldorf Cocktail I'd been planning on for several days, and I was sorely disappointed. 1-1/2 oz. Wild Turkey 101, 1/2 oz Lucid, and 1/2 oz M&R Rosso Vermouth. Stirred with ice, strained into a cocktail glass, and way too hot. Not balanced at all. What a disappointment... I prefer Rare Breed if I'm drinking WT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OMG_Bill Report post Posted August 24, 2008 Tonight I sippped absinthe with the owners of a new bar/food fixin' place. They had what is legal in Okla-by gawd-homa, Lucid, grande absente, Kübler and absente. I took samples of montmartre, La Coquette and Jade NO. We also discussed sugar/no sugar plus fire/no fire. It looks like we have a winning place. The bartenders paid close attention and prefered the traditional method and the owners were glad we were there to educate, Just happened to be a grand affair with the local theater group and a few of them stopped by to sip a bit and leave with curiosity on their faces. They had two fountains in use by the time we left. I think it went over quite well. That was my evening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe Legate Report post Posted August 24, 2008 Finished off the Buffalo Trace. Finished off the Stranahan's Whiskey from my Colorado friend. (Thank you once again for that fine booze) Wiped out a lovely absinthe from another dear friend. Just happened to be a grand affair with the local theater group and a few of them stopped by to sip a bit and leave with curiosity on their faces. Bah! It's the time of year when theatre people begin to emote. or Bah! They were merely doing character studies for their performance in Gross Indecency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absomphe Report post Posted August 24, 2008 Way too much legendary (and beautifully aged) Besançon-style absinthe last night. After all these years (well a few, anyway), it's still my all-time favorite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Selmac Report post Posted August 26, 2008 Last night a few beers from Dogfish Head. That Midas Touch Golden Elixir is really tasty I tell ya! They claim that the recipe is for the oldest fermented beverage in the world. Don't know how they know that but it really is fine. I'm so not in the working mood today. I think I will skip the gym and head straight for the vertes tonight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
