It's Thursday. It's a drinking thread.

Submitted by BlueNation on
It's Thursday, and it is basically summer, so it is perfectly acceptable for a drinking thread. So, let's have it -- what's on tap? I'm hanging at a local brewery having a couple cold ones. Currently "Mosaic Moproblems IPA". Cheers!

The sun is high, the aspens are quaking, and a gentle breeze perfectly offsets some mild heat under the bluebird.  No water in sight, but it still has to be: Corona.  I love this season too.

I'll be having a Dantonio, neat. 

Recipe?  Take a chilled martini glass.  Add a dash of aromatic bitters.  Then add another dash.  Keep adding dash after dash after dash after dash until the glass is filled.  And a splash of Ramazotti.

Drinking bourbon, as per usual.  Went with some Weller 12 year to start off with.  Just received the J Riddle "Peated Bourbon Whiskey" from Detroit yesterday in the mail.  Thought it was an interesting take on bourbon.  Started off smoky like a nice scotch and had a little bit of bourbon heat at the end.  Not too bad from a Michigan distillery, but as always the best stuff comes from Kentucky!  Anyone else have any really special bourbons lately?  I have about a quarter of a bottle of Blade and Bow left, I can't find it anywhere...  Its outstanding pick up any bottles that you might run into, because as far as I can tell its super hard to find!  Happy Drinking my MGoBrethren!

I'm opening Two James Grass Widow on Sunday as a gift to myself.  It's my "everyday special" for lfie's little celebrations.

I've also got a bottle of Breckenridge in the office that I'm holding out for special event.  Anybody had that one?  I've heard good things.

Weller 12 is on my buy list, as I found a "poor mans pappy" mix.

Collecting bourbon is tough nowadays.  I used to work at a liquor store here in Bozeman, MT when I was going to school.  I was able to get my hands on some pretty sweet bottles of bourbon: George T Stagg, Stagg Jr., Pappy 10, Pappy 12, Blood Oath Pact #2, Blood Oath Pact #3, most of the Orphan Barrel collection, Weller 12 yr., Eagle Rare 17, Rock Hill Farms.  Those are just the ones I can think of off of the top of my head.  Hard to find now, have buddies looking all across the country constantly.  Maybe we should start a MGoBourbon Club and see who can get a hold of some of these rare bottles and maybe send some back and forth...???

So I'm always getting lit with my dogs; Sammie (old black lab mix) and Ash (one year old Rottweiler pup).  Ash is currently help me work out by doing Rottie curls with a rope in my left hand and drinking bourbon in my other hand.  Gotta switch hands every couple minutes because a 100 lbs Rottie pup gives you a good pump when you curl them!

Just cracked open a 90 IPA. Not an IPA guy generally but man I love this one. Also, have a Founders Doom in the fridge but probably going to leave that for tomorrow.
