emelius Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 G&T right now. And Jeff, we really like the Spotted Cow. I've really liked all that I've had from New Glarus... Surly Wet...

morphsci Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Posted November 9, 2011 Small batch vinegar for the win; Supplcation for the bigger win. The Lorraine looks good Marc, the Earthquake, not so much. Trying out some High West 36th Vote barreled Manhattan. I'll need to get back to you on this one.
HDen Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Everything in that picture looks so nice, love those coasters too!
shellylh Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) Had some Grenache/Syrah and Malbec with ribeye at Ray's the Steaks tonight which was nice but now it is back to work. Edited November 9, 2011 by shellylh
teufelshunde Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Took a tip from Dan and tried the Sazerac thing - not bad.
morphsci Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Posted November 9, 2011 Well it is definitely interesting as the ingredients are well integrated and there is a bit of smoothness that would not be there without the barrel aging. I probably would have used their Rendevous Rye rather than their Double Rye, but that is personal preference. But that is where I was disappointed. When I make a Manhattan, I get to choose the Rye, the vermouth(s), bitters, proportions, etc. the Manhattan is one f the most tweakable of cocktails, and that is one of the reasons I like it so well. I can craft it to fit my mood at the time. You lose that here so better to view it as something altogether different. If you do that it is worthwhile and interesting.
shellylh Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 ^You still get to choose the cherries.
shellylh Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Had some Grenache/Syrah and Malbec with ribeye at Ray's the Steaks tonight which was nice but now it is back to work. By the way, if anyone finds themselves in Arlington, VA, I can wholeheartedly recommend the steaks at Ray's. They were absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked. The only thing is the wait (we had a bit of a wait on a Tuesday night) and they only have wine/beer so no after dinner whiskey.
manaox2 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Just finished an Oscar Blue's TenFidy. Great tasting out of a mug.

Voltron Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 It would be better if it had actual drink suggestions rather than 6 oz lemon juice and 6 oz heroine. Funny, but not as helpful.
jvlgato Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 It suggested 'The Paul McCartney' for me: 8 oz Tequila Anejo and 8 oz Coffee.
Hopstretch Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Gin and coffee. The Mumford & Sons. Think I'll stick with wine, thanks. (PS: Not my cat or headphones.)
grawk Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Mikkeller Barrel Aged Black Hole - Scotch Whisky A little too "scotchy"
raffy Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 2011 Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale. Quite quaffable
Aura Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 This is really what I drank 48 hours ago at Bruery Provisions but I figured it was still worth a mention. A good assortment of Cantillon followed by Black Tuesday 2011 on-tap.
morphsci Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Posted November 10, 2011 This is a very nice Bourbon.
The Monkey Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 Four Roses Single Barrel Special Private Reserve Double Specialness or something like that.
