Friday Night Drinking Thread. No Game(Covid-19) Edition
TGIF my fellow MGobloggers!!!
Hope you all are doing well and staying healthy ?.
What's in your glass/bottle/cup tonight?
My bourbon journey is getting very diverse with a dozen different bottles to choose from. Started with a dram of Russell's Reserve Private Barrell Selection from Red Wagon in metro Detroit and now chewing on a finger of ECBP B520. After that WT Rare Breed in my glass. Anyone else enjoying a little bourbon tonight. Would love to hear your favorite. ??.
As always, Go Blue ???

Has anyone tempted the Hamm's 30 packs they have at Meijer? I remember sipping some of my uncle's Hamm's when I was a kid and I couldn't understand how someone would voluntarily drink that stuff. Now it's almost calling to me at $11.99.
December 4th, 2020 at 7:00 PM ^
OMG, I would sip on my Dad's Hamm's while he was watching the Tigers game. That was 55 years ago, so I can't remember what it taste like. Go for it!!
December 4th, 2020 at 8:18 PM ^
It disappeared for a long time then popped back up like 5 years ago. Hamm's lite too. I remember the bear from their commercials.
December 4th, 2020 at 7:06 PM ^
Yes. For the love of god do not do it. You value yourself more than that.
the extra $6 for a brick of PBR is worth it
December 4th, 2020 at 7:09 PM ^
He can always give it to the neighbors...lol?
December 4th, 2020 at 7:40 PM ^
What the fuck did the neighbors to to him to deserve such a punishment?!?
December 4th, 2020 at 7:45 PM ^
Guess I was thinking of my neighbor, idiot staee fan.....
December 4th, 2020 at 6:27 PM ^
One Miller Lite down, more to come. Going to throw together a little breakfast plate and settle in for some B1G ass basketball. UDM giving Sparty all they want so far.
December 4th, 2020 at 6:34 PM ^
Yup. I'm hoping to drink Spartan tears tonight.
December 4th, 2020 at 6:32 PM ^
It's just a Bacardi and Coke kind of evening.....
December 4th, 2020 at 6:33 PM ^
Broke out the Eggnog, nutmeg, and Kraken.
December 4th, 2020 at 6:38 PM ^
Hell yeah.
December 4th, 2020 at 6:43 PM ^
That's some serious Holiday cheer, comrade!!
December 4th, 2020 at 6:35 PM ^
Twelve days of milkshake stout — Rochester Mills, my good man.
December 4th, 2020 at 6:41 PM ^
Saw this @ Meijer today. Do you have a favorite in this selection? Have not tried their stouts but used to visit their taproom many years ago when I lived near there. Nice brewpub?
December 4th, 2020 at 7:23 PM ^
I’ve had 6 so far. Gingerbread cookie and double chocolate are my choices so far. Didn’t like King Cake. Saving Peanut Butter Cup for last.
December 4th, 2020 at 6:44 PM ^
In my personal opinion, Rochester Mills makes some of the best Milkshake stouts I have ever had .... excellent choice sir
December 4th, 2020 at 6:40 PM ^
Refs seem to have started the bail out msu mode. Blowing the whistle after seeing if the shot misses.
December 4th, 2020 at 6:43 PM ^
I’m drinking the goddam pound for pound champ .... PBR
got some Jefferson Reserve Twin Oak for later. Also, since wife is out of town I might dip into the Glenlivet 18
December 4th, 2020 at 6:45 PM ^
About to pour a bit of Yellow Spot whiskey and watch the Mandalorian.
December 4th, 2020 at 8:42 PM ^
I was a big fan of season one but think season 2 is WAY better
December 4th, 2020 at 6:50 PM ^
Tequila
December 4th, 2020 at 7:08 PM ^
I don’t know what this is, but I know I need it in my life
December 4th, 2020 at 6:54 PM ^
Buffalo Trace
December 4th, 2020 at 7:12 PM ^
Solid choice, great distillery ?. Have a bottle of this juice.
December 4th, 2020 at 7:38 PM ^
Have you read pappyland yet?
December 4th, 2020 at 8:04 PM ^
Have not, do you recommend it? Hoping to do the distillery tour whenever things are back to normal...
December 4th, 2020 at 6:55 PM ^
Refs working hard to make sure Sparty doesn’t lose. Terrible officials
December 4th, 2020 at 7:03 PM ^
FYS!!!!????
December 4th, 2020 at 7:16 PM ^
Working this evening. Which sucks but celebrating the fact I don’t have to see the turtles club wolverines tomorrow!
December 4th, 2020 at 7:17 PM ^
Because my order of absinthe did not come in from Germany, I had to resort to 100 proof Knob Creek small batch nine-year-old bourbon. Not a bad substitute. Follow me next week for my wild, trippy, absinthe journey.
December 4th, 2020 at 8:06 PM ^
Knob Creek is on my wish list for next year. Heard good things about it, especially the 12 year.
December 4th, 2020 at 9:14 PM ^
The 12 year is stellar. Definitely a splurge purchase, but well worth it. The 9 year is very inexpensive and a solid sipper.
December 4th, 2020 at 9:35 PM ^
Cool, thanks DaveHuck. Good to know ?. Glad you enjoy it. Have a great weekend ?.
December 4th, 2020 at 10:40 PM ^
Knob Creek Rye (also 100 proof) is one of my favorites, It's only around $30 here in Tulsa.
8.5.5December 4th, 2020 at 7:21 PM ^
Those are some very solid bourbon choices!
I'm drinking a homebrew ESB. Got an IPA and oatmeal stout on tap too
December 4th, 2020 at 7:39 PM ^
It's a 'whatever's appropriately chilled' night here.
Just finished my second (or is it my third?) Lansing Brewery Velvet Villain. Smooth and effective at 8.2%. Effective enough that I keep having to retype this. I've been on a porter/stout exploration excursion recently. So far my favorite for daily consumption is New Holland's The Poet, an Oatmeal Stout. But this Villain is pretty good.
December 4th, 2020 at 7:41 PM ^
Founders porter
youre welcome
December 4th, 2020 at 7:49 PM ^
Excellent choice, probably my favorite porter. Sure miss going to Founder's taproom ?
December 4th, 2020 at 8:13 PM ^
Founders' Porter ranks highly, and is in the regular rotation.
Brought back a couple stouts from VA after visiting my daughter a month ago. Didn't compare well to our MI offerings.
Why do so many brewers of stouts and porters feel the necessity of adding coffee to their brew? A good one should have hints of coffee and chocolate without adding those flavorings, IMO. (Full disclosure: I am not a coffee drinker, so I may be biased against this trend.)
December 4th, 2020 at 7:44 PM ^
Henry McKenna bourbon shots with Michelob Ultra chasers.
My teenage kids yelled at us for playing music too loud.
Heh.
December 4th, 2020 at 7:53 PM ^
Party on M-Dog!! Heard good things about Henry McKenna BIB. Have you tried it?
