Time for a drink. Who's in?

[King Postwhore]

We are going to brew a Wee Heavy Scotch Ale this December.  My favorite beer.

[7th]

Been into the big IPAs lately, like Sierra Nevada's Torpedo and New Belgium Rampant, BUT noticed some weight gain only having a few a week.  Time to go back to a few sips of neat Scotch or The Kraken.

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

Sierra Nevada Celebration is back! Picked up a sixer tonight. Made up Alton Brown's eggnog recipe also. Sofa king good.

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

In!

Celebration Ale!

We just looked up that eggnog recipe, That's going to be a project for Saturday, so it can sit for a couple of weeks.

There are a couple under Alton's name.  To be clear, I always use the one on his site, here:

Also, that 12 egg recipe makes about 3/4 gallon, so save an empty gallon milk jug for it.

Yep, that's the one!

Not in just yet (still shaking off a bit of a hangover, nibbling on pumpkin spice biscuits), but will be soon enough.  Grabbed a bottle of the Fat Tire Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough beer (think it's a stout?)...I'm skeptical, but it's so unusual that it might just work.

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

I'm really curious how that tastes, even though I'm not a big fan of dark beer.

[millahh]

Correction...it's a chocolate chip cookie dough ale.  I had like six bottles of wine in the hand basket by that point, so wans't paying too much attention to detail.

[axeman90210]

In with a can of coffee porter from Night Shift brewing in Boston.

I'll be damned...it tastes like B&J CCCD ice cream in ale form.  I like it, but I think one is enough.

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

I'd imagine.

[axeman90210]

Yeah, a lot of beers like that are cool in that they taste exactly like what they're supposed to, and are good in small servings, but a lot of them I wouldn't even want a full 12oz. There's a brewery in Michigan called Short's that does a whole bunch of food beers (key lime pie, carrot cake, pb&j sandwich etc..) and they're always a big hit at festivals when they're pouring 2-4oz samples, but nobody really ever wants to pick up a sixer from them

I really like their beers. 

In.  Board Shorts from Trillium.   A delicious IPA.

[ReaperKK]

In, having some white wine from St. Augustine to soak up this food sitting in my stomach.

[Prog Snob]

In.

Had some Jack earlier. Now I'm sitting at work.

[axeman90210]

You know what they say, can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.

[King Postwhore]

Going heavy early I see.

[ReaperKK]

In tonight. Had some Carolina blonde and it was alright, nothing fancy.

[axeman90210]

In. Capping the holiday weekend with a 2015 Goose Island Bourbon County Stout. 15% ABV bourbon barrel aged stout... decadent and delicious

[cramx3]

In.

Leinenkugel Harvest Patch Shandy

I have a random assortment of beers that have been sitting my my fridge for awhile (beers people left from my fall bbq), lately I've been making a dent in them.

[ReaperKK]

In.

Having a Carolina Blonde Cream Ale. I think I'm growing to it's taste.

[millahh]

Had Elijah Craig Small Batch at dinner last night.  Oh my...I need to get me some of that.

[cramx3]

In.

Leinenkugel Harvest Patch Shandy

Just to add, that was fucking disgusting.  Thank god there was only one left here.  And I love the summer shandy, but that harvest tasted like ass. 

[cramx3]

In.  Returning to my grey goose

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

In.

Evolution Lot 3 IPA.

[King Postwhore]

Holy mother of God.  IN!

Arrogant Bastard Bigger Longer Uncut.  Aged in Scottish Whiskey Barrels. It's actually too strong.

[TAC]

We were drinking Arrogant Bastard Ales on Halloween.

Tonight...Two Roads Road 2 Ruin' Double IPA

[millahh]

In, a couple of drams of Macallan 12 (double cask), an Abita IPA with dinner, now a Glenmorangie 12 port finish.

[axeman90210]

How's that Glenmorangie?

[millahh]

How's that Glenmorangie?

I like it, though I am discovering that I prefer sherry finish (and I've had the Glenmorangie sherry finish, so it's a reasonable head-to-head comparison).  Of that general category, I think Macallan 12 double cask is my favorite.  I'm a sucker for caramel and dried fruit notes.

Also...there's a second location of Taphaus opening, a two minute walk from my apartment.  this could be bad for my liver.

Still need to check out the original. Beers soon?

[Snow Dog]

Sometimes, a beer just sounds damn good. Tonight's guest - a Belching Beaver Brewery peanut butter milk stout. Damn delicious.

We've been to the original    You're thinking of Pilsner Haus (which, embarrassingly, I haven't been to either)?

Yes, beer soon.
