Well with no wings game tonight, I thought I would scale it back a little and stick to "Old Faithful" and stick with Jack Black Label.
What say you?
Edit: Also if anyone has information on Jolly Pumpkin and if they can ship to New York, I moved recently and am craving some great local beers from back home!
Jameson neat, right out of the freezer so the bottle is frosty. Just like always.
Kamchatka & Vernors
Last night in Ann Arbor for my freshman year, so I'm watching Space Jam with my hall mates with a case of Bud Light. Doesn't get much better than that.
Ann Arbor, I will miss you. Until sophomore year starts..
while you can.
That was the fastest year of my life... Can't believe it's gone. I never wanna leave this place
Every year at U of M is like that. I feel like my 4 years were 4 minutes.
Damn, I miss college.
I just turned in my last thing. I ought to be celebrating, instead I want to cry into my beer.
was a great year. I'm graduating a week from today, and I am so jealous of you right now.
There are few times in your life more melancholy than right before your college graduation. You'll see most of your friends from time to time, but it will never be the same, and you know it. Savor every moment, then let them go.
I have to say that being deployed brings a lot of the same feelings as you just described. Obviously, in the situation I outlined it's a matter of life and death so you have to bond quickly with comrades. However, each gives us memories that we will cherish and others that I am sure aren't so fond. All these memories should be savored.
Was spent at the Silverdome attending a U2 concert (Joshua Tree tour, which REALLY dates me) with my best friends. Unforgetable night.
Long Island style!
But unfortunately I've run out.
A Full Sail amber. Just found out it has finally made it's way to RI from the west coast. An Easter miracle.
hockey game. Sippin' Wild Turkey 101.
Go Nashville!
Jargon Pinot Nior. If my fiancee leaves me any.
Starbucks coffee. Last semester of grad school.
Great Lakes Brew: Eliot Ness
On a flight back from a week in Mexico. No mas.
Hair of the dog, my friend.
"Hair of the dog" calls for a Blood Mary (Bloody Caesars are actually tastier, but whatever) and a good breakfast.
Jameson, straight shots, room temp
while cheering for Preds & oiling the hurls...
The Huma and Uncle Steve's Irish Stout
Buckeye tears, same as last week.
Drinking a St. Pauli Girl while writing a 12 page paper on a topic I am clueless about. Why don't professors ever let us write on Michigan Football?
Writing a 6 page paper that I know nothing about and that I started today and is due first thing in the morning. Luckily this is my last class of grad school hopefully, haven't really counted credits. I'd be happy if professors let us write about any sport, even cricket.
for English 125
to U of M was a quarter-by-quarter breakdown of Michigan's football team while coached under Bo...
I was dumb as rocks to do that, but they still let me in.
Chillin with 2 month old son and wife while the mother-in-law's in town. Hooray Me!
haha well played!
If that's not a reason to start drinking heavily, I don't know what is. Hang in there!
Good sir, I and my Ketel One salute you.
Nice
Southern Tier Choklat Stout, two Bell's Two-Hearted, Stone IPA, Southern Tier IPA, Sam Adam's Lattitude 48 IPA, and a Dundee IPA.
Took the Sam Adams Brew tour about 4 weeks ago and had some fresh Lat 48. Couldn't believe the difference from the bottle.
Everything!
As I won't be able to partake. I'm pretty high on Vicodin right now, and I don't want to take a chance on not waking up tomorrow. Had a troublesome wisdom tooth pulled by an oral surgeon that happens to be a U of M grad no less. He commented on my varsity style U of M jacket, and went on to tell me that he played football there. He was recruited by Bump during high school, but wound up being coached by some other guy he arrived on campus. He told me some pretty cool stories, and offered some sound advice as far as my ongoing education before he realized he had another patient to see. Really nice guy and good at what he does. It kind of sucks that he's not my regular dentist.
Only the bottom ones emerged from the gums. The top ones are still in there, back behind the molars. It sucks afterwards because food keeps getting caught in the sockets and you have to be super-careful when eating and making sure nothing is trapped in there overnight. That's probably more detail than you wanted at this particular moment but remember, your gums will eventually heal.
Mine was at the top, so when he was pulling on it, I felt this unbelievable pulling sensation in my sinuses. I thought that, along with the crackling noise was kind of cool. Thank God for for local anesthetics.
I feel you. Ditto for me. It took a few weeks for the pockets to heal. If food gets caught, it hurts like hell. It makes you want to drink.... Eh, and why is that so bad afterall??????
I just tried my first Sam Adams IPA. Like all IPAs this is very hoppy but SA IPA leaves more of an after taste. i cant say that this beer is bad because I would get negged for an oxymoron (there is no such thing as a bad beer in this universe).
My wisdom teeth removal was pretty epic. I chose to use the local anesthetic, so they injected me with it and oral surgeon started the removal process within the a minute or so. I did not know what effect the anesthetic would have on me so I thought that a little bit of pain was going to be normal for this type of procedure. While removing my bottom wisdom, the DDS took a saw to me and boom, pain. Apparently, the DDS did not let the anesthetics set in long to numb the area. Therefore, the DDS rushed to inject more anesthetics to numb the area to continue the job.
(rest of story, I did not take any vicodin prescribed to me or any pain relievers during my "recovery")
About a half hour after the procedure, I had to go take a microbiology exam which was fun because I was drooling all over the place and all over my answer sheet.
About 1.5 hours after the procedure, being foolish and hungry, I went and ate a 1/2 pound burger with everything on it but it was by far the best burger I have ever had. I think I impressed the waitress with my manliness.
Next day, I had to work a 12 hour shift as a server and from what I was told, the busiest time of the year for the restaurant and my manager wouldn't let me off.
A little Aberlour 12, a Highland Park 18, back to the Aberlour 12, capped off by a white russian.
Just some Newcastle tonight.
Dirty Bastard.
BTW, I live on the west side, what particular Jolly Pumpkin are you craving?
Got an email from the noting they were about to release Biere de Mars this week, it is a crazy weird spring beer that I tend to enjoy before the summer gets in full swing. Also could go from some Maracaibo Especial.
Dry Tanqueray martinis in the Redwood City Sofitel. Long two days at a client site, but upgraded for tomorrow's flight back to A2.
Started the night with Ron Anejo rum on the rocks. In the middle I drank some Left Hand milk stout. Finishing up the night with Ketel One on the rocks. What can I say, I'm a classy bastard.
PS: the client is a UM undergrad and law school grad. He informs me that the next time I am here, two weeks hence, I am to bring him some Zingerman's love.
Don't have another final until Monday, so Blue Moon
I've enjoyed some 5 O'clock and Mountain Dew tonight.
Tastes terrible, and fully expecting a massive hangover.
This may lead to the worst hangover in history.
abita purple haze & yuengling
Just got back from the Pixies concert at the Fox, it was awesome. the trip out of the parking garage was less awesome so we parked again and went to hockeytown and got some capt and cokes
how awesome was it?
it was a 10, ended with where is my mind and gigantic, played the entire doolittle album plus a bunch of b-sides and even played umass. no caribou or velouria but thats ok. going ot see the flaming lips at the filmore may 13 and a perfect circle at the fox july 8 so its going to be an awesome summer concert season
Out of the loop and missed that show. Would have loved to see them.
Hangin with two other M alum and drinking local craft brews. Tonight- Ale House X IPA...had Jolly Pumpkin last week!
Dear late night drinking thread -
In light of the recent Devin Funchess commit, I'm wondering if anyone can explain why Harrison is thought of as a MSU pipeline. Is it mostly because of Mark Dell and Drew Stanton? Or are there others I am forgetting?
Also, I'm drinking cheap whisky.
Started off with vodka and red bull then switched to vodka and orange juice then went back to vodka and red bull then had a couple vodka and red bull and orange juice then finished the night with a few shot of straight vodka. good good night
Cap*n is making it happen!
soda and a splash of Cranberry with lime twist. You can get a handle of Smirnoff for $15.99 at Costco. Good shit and highly recommended. It's not as good as Grey Goose but damn close.
Recovering from the flu so just straight Tropicana tonight. Delicious.
I forgot to drink!! If it wasn't for those meddling kids!!
My wife and I were planning to go to the Schlafly Tap Room last night, but the string of violent thunderstorms and tornados last pretty much killed that idea. Instead, we sat in our basement, drank some Two-Hearted Ale, and played Scrabble until the storm passed.
We have this place called Piece Pizza, that makes spectacular pizza, and brews their own beer. They have sports games on the tube from opening until close, and...its always a good crowd, even if its in the heart of hipster heaven. One of the best places in town.
With that said, I had myself a couple Golden Arm Ales, and took home a 64oz growler. Spectacular!
Piece is the best. Golden Arm is usually all I ever get. The pizza is pretty good too.
I got introduced to martinis last night - beefeater, ice, and olives. Pretty good, but the ratios are absolutely critical.
4 22oz ribbons. Shots. 3 Jamesons. All after a long run. I feel like death. So much for getting an early start on studying for evidence today.
