nikongod Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 On this fine evening I drink a Rogue XS McRogue Scotch ale that was a gift from ASR Steve. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/132/1578 I drink this fine beer to commemorate it being in the way of my turntable and me wanting to play a record.
emelius Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 Upright Sole Composition Series Blend Love...more sour goodness...this time in the form of a wild ale...I like it, I do...but it sorta bugs me that I'm probably never going to see it again let alone try any others from the series... Saint Arnold Pumpkinator...was certainly glad to see/sample this, but I've had so many pumpkin beers lately & the memory of that home brew was still fresh in my mind...& the home brew was killer... Fantôme Magic Ghost...I brought this one...it's new & unique...I cannot describe it...it really does pour without head & it really is green...it's already got quite the reputation...there's a buzz...I know it has lemon grass, but there's a rumor out there that it contains spinach dust...in any case, it surprised a lot of people...highly recommended... Three Floyds Biggs' 'Stache...sucks to be me, right?... an unknown Hill Farmstead beer..I have another pic of it w/a tag, but I cannot read it...the first letter looks like a T:)...anyways, nice & rare... Beaver Pecan Pie...I have absolutely no recollection of this, if I'm honest... Kuhnhenn Crème Brûlée Java Stout...ya...kickin' myself for never visiting this place...everything I've had from them's been glorious...& this guy shows up w/a fucking growler?!?...cheers to him...that's a helluva drive...I thought I had it bad at four hours...there were some New Yorkers & some Chicagoans...what an event!... fittingly, I'll end the pics w/a bottle of Jackie O's Grand Wazoo...I immediately thought CRAP, I just opened one for that Sun King/HBG Tailgate for Nothing event...& I agonized over that decision...I know it's just beer, but this one's special & it's drinking crazy good right now...just the nature of small batch beers...I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough... I'm sure there are many beers I've missed...after picking up my allotment & heading over to the brewery side, I went into trade mode:)... apparently, I did pretty well...before I headed back to the hotel, I landed a second Rum Barrel Apparition...
emelius Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 oh, & I had Cantillon Fou' Foune... wonderful, wonderful, wonderful...best of show...hug the bottle good...

cetoole Posted December 6, 2011 Report Posted December 6, 2011 Can I eat dinner to the honor of Chris's new citizenship and the reduction in evil celebration of Dinny's father's retirement? Baked chicken with asparagus prosciutto and fontina with a glass (or five) of '08 Forefront Cabernet Sauvignon. I like!

Duggeh Posted December 6, 2011 Report Posted December 6, 2011 Late night Vodka and Canada Dry. Woudl be better if it had more gin and tonic and less vodka and ginger.
emelius Posted December 6, 2011 Report Posted December 6, 2011 Congratulations to Chris... I'm drinking a Jackie O's Matriarch Double IPA from a growler:)...
emelius Posted December 6, 2011 Report Posted December 6, 2011 Flying Dog Barrel-Aged Gonzo Imperial Porter... perhaps a bit cloying, but I'll still take it over regular Gonzo...
Voltron Posted December 6, 2011 Report Posted December 6, 2011 The Caskstrength cocktail-ish blog is posting on the Cocktail Advent Calendar at the bar where he works, Rob Roy in Seattle. He is a pretty funny ranter writer, and here is his description of the event: The Cocktail Advent Calender at the Rob Roy is a gift to you, the guest. It will enable you to enjoy the holiday drinks classics that have become taboo for so many reasons; because they are never made well, because you are embarrassed to order them, and because it is morally wrong to order a Spanish Coffee. Rob Roy’s bartenders will make a new, likely sweet, libation for each day in December up until X-mas eve. X-mas eve will be Blue Blazer acrobatics. I’ll post each day’s new holiday cocktail and its recipe on this blog as we count down to the 25th of December.
