The first two sound good, in theory, but that last part kinda wrecks it, Stretch. A nice trip stateside is just the thing for South African ennui, so the Great American Beer Fest in Colorado in the Fall sounds like the perfect cure! In the meantime, post more here and we'll all be happier.

Dan and DannyB share the same name and birthday, isn't that sweet?! I hope yours is fantastic, Dan, and that birthday month bon temps roll on. Cheers!

Raj is good stuff. Blanc is just more sweet and less dry, so act accordingly.

I like martinis but the Jupiter sounds good except for the oj. Might sub some orange bitters instead and see how that plays. Left my Raj in Tahoe because I had no room in the car. I'll have to wait a couple days until Claire returns because no other gin here either.

Nice Shelly! That's a good one! And a nice pic for someone who doesn't know how to take pictures.

The secret is that I have 3 more bottles of each of the three main 50/50 2010 Eclipse. Shhh!

You're going to crack, I just know it! Finishing up the FiftyFifty Rye-PA growler now that I am back in SF. I have to say that their beers are pretty damn good, and the Eclipse is outstanding.

Hope you guys have had a great day! Cheers!

The latest Amarra or at least the Sonic Console seems buggy and unstable again. I wish I had stayed where I was but will just load an old build for now.

Congrats CeeTee and Renlute and the rest. It looks like it was a great success and a lot of fun.

True enough, Matt, but I am still a little bit gratified that he grudgingly might have taken something I said to heart. And Raffy, you should try it with a splash of really cold spring water. Similar effect to the ice cube from the ease of drinking standpoint, and some people believe a little branch water opens up the bourbon. I am currently drinking tea because we forgot to get more ground coffee for this poorly equipped condo (the bag of beans are sitting worthlessly on the counter).

Martini (medium) Cocktail 1.5oz Old Raj gin .75oz Dolin Blanc .75oz Cocchi Chinato More improvisation.

Eclipse to finish. Good stuff.

Calzone bigger than my head! Birthday week ftmfw, btw!

Zombie Dust is a great beer name! Thanks for the props Gene, my slalom is Teh awesum. Now drinking the Red IPA. Malty goodness with major hops. This is a great beer.

Back at FiftyFifty for lunch now that everyone is skiing. Starting with a Concentrated Evil. Pretty good but I'm going to have to switch and decide whether I can fit in the red IPA before I have another Eclipse. This is much better than waiting in lines to rent ski gear and shit.

I quite liked the Bourye, but this was the first time I tried it. I thought it was tasty in the Old Pal and then had a dram neat and then with an ice cube. I like the rye bite and bourbon sweetness/smoothness. I can see why Dinny likes it because it is his perfect combo.

WOLVERINES!!! Nice post Tyll.

Happy birthday Al! Cheers, Al

TeeHee. I just did the same in one of the other threads our new grave-digger unearthed.

Welcome to Head-Case. Some friendly advice given that our welcome PM is absent with new forum software. Don't post shotgun fashion on anything that catches your eye here and don't ever unearth threads after years of inactivity -- especially dead tangential gaming threads and the like -- and then post your random musings on the subject. Once you get a sense of this place you can dive in a bit more but you are going to get pounded in the back of the head with a shovel if you continue this pattern. Cheers

Nice looking drinks even if you didn't like them. . I think really strong Ginger beer only works in a couple drinks and those aren't them. I also find I seldom like classic cocktails with OJ in them. Too cloying. A good Mimosa or even screwdriver can hit the spot sometimes but the paradise would be better without OJ.

This wasn't a democracy last I checked. That guy acted like a douche and dug his own grave. I don't like instant rejections or banning but this isn't a forum for everyone as has been stated over and over again. No need to keep the failures around after they show themselves. Edit: I got distracted and Jim said it better than I.

Dinny, didn't you read that it was cocktails and booze time?! The program. Get with it!

Yay, it's cocktail and booze time! Improvised Old Pal: 1oz High West Bourye 1oz Cocchi Chinato 1oz Dolin Blanc Nice, but not as sharp as usual.
