Friday Night Drinking Thread

Submitted by gopoohgo on

In a bad mood after hearing news from my family (brother is a disaster...).

New Holland Mad Hatter is up to bat.

After that...maybe Stagg Jr or Handy.  It's a 60%+ ABV kind of night.

I bought some Oberon but just doesn't feel right drinking it now that it's so cold again. So I'll clear out the Blue Lights out of my fridge... and a Schmohz Amber Tease.

Sorry OP hope your weekend gets better.

I'm enjoying a bomber of Burnt Hickory's Old Wooden Head DIPA. They are a newer brewery here in Georgia, and they are quickly becoming the best in the state. I have the NCST/Louisville game on in the background and a live version of ¨Cobra¨ by My Morning Jacket on the stereo. Should be a good night.

Started with Rittenhouse, but a buddy gave my this. It is AWESOME !! Carmel, woody, leather, delicious. I have not had Pappy, but if this is Pappy reject, then I would love to taste what made the cut. It is my new leader. Get some.

...good stuff, indeed!  One of my favorite Oatmeal Stouts, I usually refer to it as "Pout Stout", a nickname a non-microbrew buddy gave it a couple years back as he stared at the bottle wondering about the poison I had brought to a tailgate.

I am through my fourth pint of Guinness and still trying to mentally piece together the UCLA-Gonzaga game, which really had moments where, well....blech.

Duke-Utah isn't getting off to anything that might be mistaken for a fast start either, but then there has been a lot of that in this particular tournament.

I'm trying the Good JuJu, which is brewed with ginger. It's interesting, I think I should be having sushi while I eat this. 
 
My real purpose in posting after lurking since The Horror is to ask if anyone watches Archer on FX? Specifically, part one of this season's finale, which had a very U of M centric theme. 
 
In a nutshell, the team has to Fantastic Voyage themselves into a brilliant scientist's body to remove a blood clot or something.
 
That scientist's name? Zoltan Kovacs. 
 
I can't find a screencap, but let's just say that when I saw the name my girlfriend thought I was going to pop a vein in my brain from laughing so hard.

oldest brother called a while ago.  his youngest son just got admitted to michigan, cal, ND, BC, and santa clara.  he is waiting on dartmouth and brown which send their letters on tuesday.   he is a lax player and i would love to have him at michigan, but i suspect cal and dartmouth are the 2 front runners.

i ever killed was in the hills near santa barbara.  missing it's head, i took it down to see my buddies and go water-skiing later in the day in mission bay, down by where you live, and took it into the bar we were patronizing at PB.   pulled it out of a bag, probably 5 hours post-mortem, and that thing would still coil if you touched it.  pre-historic creepy.
