I can't be the only one enjoying a few drinks on this fine New Years Eve. I'm surprised there isn't a thread quite yet.
I'm on my 5th or so Leinenkugel's Snowdrift Vanilla Porter.
How about you guys?

Having A Nice NYE...
I have the Peach Bowl (using Seth-approved name) and some Strongbow cider at the moment. I made beef enchiladas for dinner - slow cooked the beef in salsa verde, fresh chopped cilantro and diced onion, with a smattering of diced serrano peppers. Turned out nicely, I might add.

I was afraid this night was shot...
after the girlfriends friends (we're in her hometown right now) said they'd be house party hopping in downtown Cincinnati, which I currently can't participate in due to a fucked up knee. Turns out her dad had the perfect materials for a BP table downstairs, so we're going to play some pong with her little brother and enjoy premium satellite on their very big TV. Not all that shabby, even if it is way more lame than being at UC tonight.
We're drinking champagne all night, with a few Yuengling's mixed in.

I think 60; maybe only 55 but I have a 43 and it's substantially bigger.
Also, that sounded every bit as dirty in my head as I'm sure it did in yours.

And am drinking my west coast IPA (Stone, enjoy by 12-21-12) out of a Jolly Pumpkin glass.
Switching to Cabernet, and making my famous "kid-mosas" for my kids, who talked me into staying up to the "real" midnight. We are on the west coast, and I like to celebrate midnight at 9 because I'm old.

It's my go-to any time I'm in California.
Jolly Pumpkin distribution is so spotty in Chicago that every time I see some in a Binny's I buy like 5 bottles because I'm never sure if it'll be there the next time. Any bar that has Jolly Pumpkin on tap immediately goes into my pantheon.

than I. The last of mine did not survive past September, and I started with 4 cases. It was good aged, but I prefer it fresh. The hops faded and the malt took over a bit too much for me.

My guess is that if you''re less than 30,
The fans are worse because you can likely tolerate that beer. Anyone over 40, hanging with 40+ aged Ohio fans would probably think the fans are more tolerable than that beer. 30-40 year olds....it would be a toss up.
