OT- It's Friday! What's in your glass?
The weekend is here, what's everybody drinking? I am sipping on a few limited Blue Moon Samplers. Not the best, but for a mass produced beer, not too bad. Currently having a Short Straw Red Ale. Interested to hear what everyone's having on the longest day of the year...
Mango smoothie from Burger King.
Don't judge me!!
Checking out the Back forty in grand rapids tonight.
Small and usually crowded.
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
pinnacle, rose's, tonic
so jealous - i have a great little local grocery store that no one goes to but they have a FANTASTIC beer section, and I am waiting for them to get some in. I bought Beard of Zeus there the other day and thats another fantastic beer.
Did you happen to try Hopstash -- Yet another i am trying to get my hands on?
A nice Brewery Vivant Zaison.......mmmmmm. This micro from Grand Rapids has an awesome brew selection. If you are ever there, try it out.
A few of my friends work there and, from what I've heard, they're like the best employers ever.
After a rather long, somewhat aggravating week, I am delving into a present someone gave me - a six-pack of Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy. Good stuff. Just sitting around doing the modding thing and watching the Tigers game.
Studying right now so the drink of choice is water, once I am done I will most likely have a Brewery Ommegang Hennepin - I think its my favorite beer that is offered year round.
Im posbanging everyone too - its a good night.
Dead Guy. Wish I could find the Double Dead Guy in bottle
After imbed fail.
Madison River Brewing Company
Salmon Fly Honey Rye
ugh - you always are drinking the best beers. I am jealous...
What are the top ten best beers that you have had?
taunting us with tales of growlers at The Lost Abbey.
Its not as good out of the bottle as it is on tap . . . hopefully she's drinking it out of the bottle.
I've had several of the batches of the Enjoy By releases and so far and they have not disappointed. Really helping promote awareness for fresh beer. Makes all the difference in the world, particuarly for IPAs.
Honestly, I'm more interested in the Alpine beers you often post about. Nelson is a favorite, but also love Duet, Exponential Hoppiness...basically any of their IPAs.
I'm sure Brian would hate it, but would love to set up some MGoTrades with others so people from one region could experience great beers from elsewhere.
Cheers.
Oh, and for me tonight, I had a Zombie Dust (acquired via trade) followed by a Two Hearted (on tap where I had dinner). Also sitting on some Maine Beer Co. brews (Lunch, Weez, Mean Old Tom). Tonight I found a couple of bottles of Bruery's anniversary ale Bois. Looking forward to trying one and laying the other one down for a year or two.
I've cellared my Bois. A beer exchange would be tremendous. Have you had White Oak by the Bruery? I think its amazing.
I think they are on par with RR, although they don't have quite the following/cache. They do a fair amount of unique beers without striking out the way that Dogfish or New Belgium does with their LoF series.
I really like the BR Cafe 15 - I think that is just as good as any Enjoy By I've ever had.
I think I'm going to make one for myself tonight. I love me some brandy old-fashioneds.
A rocks glass full of Macallan Cask Strength after a LONG strategic offiste meeting (The Lakes Course at Grand Naional on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail) with my boss and others from work. Bogey golf at it's finest.
