shellylh Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 *Anvil* "A shot of Fernet-Branca" This bottle is going to last for a loooong time.
grawk Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 Then: perfect manhattan now: local apple cider (not hard cider)
Augsburger Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) 1998 Kalin Pinot ugggghhh! Tastes like the honey badger squatted on it, now if this was a southern burgundy region pinot with a little more chalk I might have paid extra, but not this Cali Pinot. At least I get to hear my daughter play the Phantom of The Opera live on our piano, nice consolation. Edited April 26, 2011 by Augsburger
morphsci Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Posted April 26, 2011 *Anvil* "A shot of Fernet-Branca" This bottle is going to last for a loooong time. I know what you mean Shelly. "The Shot" was my worst Anvil experience. To make up for it try a little Hanky panky Moving on to a little Hanky Panky 1 1/2 oz Bluecoat Gin 1 1/2 oz Carpano Antinco Sweet Vermouth 2 dashes Fernet Branca Stir well and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Twist a paper thin swathe of orange over the drink and drop in. Wow, this is remarkably good.
Dusty Chalk Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 *Anvil* "A shot of Fernet-Branca" That's a pretty simple little 'cocktail'.
Voltron Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 That's a pretty simple little 'cocktail'. That doesn't meet any definition of "cocktail" but it is something that bartenders drink and bartenders made up the Anvil list. Had a Bison IPA that was meh. Trying to decide what cocktail to make. Any quick thoughts, cocktailians?
shellylh Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 Thanks for the suggestion Jim! Very little and very simple but not so good. I still have about 3/4 of it left.
morphsci Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Posted April 26, 2011 Need to finish my lab exam for ecology so going with a simple celebratory whiskey. I think it is going to be an easier exam than I originally anticipated.
Voltron Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 Congrat on tenure Jim! I decided to make a Deadly Sin, since that's what it'll take for them to get rid of you now! Deadly Sin Cocktail 2oz bourbon (W.L. Weller antique) 1/3oz sweet vermouth (Dolin) 1/4oz maraschino liqueur (Luxardo) 1 dash orange bitters (Regan) orange peel garnish Stir with ice, strain, and garish. Cheers Professor!
emelius Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 ^^nice... Big sky brewing Ivan the terrible , wow this stuff is great, Tyll! I was able to order one bottle of this online...I should've ordered more...I found it to be quite enjoyable, but the friends I was hanging out with didn't seem to have an opinion of it one way or another...go figure... anyways...Victory Hop Wallop on tap...Brugge Harvey on tap...which is their Pooka but using Blackberries instead of Boysenberries...Jolly Pumpkin Baudelaire Series iO Saison from a 750mL bottle...lotta dry hibiscus flavor...& uh Surly Furious from a can...excellent stuff as always from Surly...& a great smell... oh, & I was finally able to buy another Upland Cherry Lambic so I was able to drink a 750mL of it on my own w/o having to break up my set...& I got a free pint when I bought it...so also had an Upland Maibock somewhere in there:)...
morphsci Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Posted April 26, 2011 Heh, nice cocktail choice Al. Cheers.
shellylh Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) Just read about tenure Jim, that is great! I wish I had a nice drink to toast you with but I poured out the FB and made myself an Aperol + soda. Will break out the Parker 27 after I finish writing this lecture (although classes finished last Friday, I stupidly volunteered to make up a graduate class I missed when I was away at a conference ). Good choice of drink Al! Edited April 26, 2011 by shellylh
tyrion Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 Four of these glasses arrived today from a client. It was a nice surprise.
morphsci Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Posted April 26, 2011 Nice glass, and nice beer to go in it.
Voltron Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 Cool gift. Did the client have them made or is there a Baker beer somewhere? I found this but not much else to suggest there is a Baker Brewing other than in your garage (and others').
grawk Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 apple cider My mom got me Blanchat Pub glasses for christmas
emelius Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 Goose Island Night Stalker. I'm drinking this: Goose Island Big John...which, from what I gather, uses the same base as the Night Stalker but instead of dry hopping it they chuck in Cacao nibs...
recstar24 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) Now that goose island is sold to anheuser do you think they will still be able to maintain the same high quality, especially their more rare beers? EDIT: next time people are in town we should coordinate hitting up the goose island brewpub as it is quite nice. Edited April 27, 2011 by recstar24
grawk Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 2008 Antucura Malbec So I ended up wearing that glass, so I poured another.

EDIT: next time people are in town we should coordinate hitting up the goose island brewpub as it is quite nice. allegedly the brewpubs are being left alone untouched...the theory is they bought Goose in order to be able to self-distribute in Illinois...in Illinois, if you own a brewery, you can self-distribute...so they overpaid for GI in order to save shitloads in the long run...they can continue to charge the same distributor mark up...this way they get two of the three price jacks before the beer reaches consumers...& they can also undercut their competitors...
