OT: Friday night open/ what are you drinking thread?
I, personally, am drinking the leftovers from all of the tailgates. Basically it's just the cheap beers bought to play beer pong. It's a mix of Bud Light, Blue Light, and Molson. Not great quality, but it'll get me through the Wings and Championship games. For those of you who may have stopped by the Jager Yearbook(my tailgate) thanks for stopping by. Let's root for a Georgia loss tomorrow and a Sparty loss as well.

Yeah, I heard demand in Wisconsin had increased so dramatically they had to stop supplying Minnesota and Illinois a bit ago to keep up with the demand. Though that was a year or two ago so I think things have changed since then.

Friend lives in Milwaukee and brought me a sample pack back when he was in town for Thanksgiving. Got a six pack of Apple Ale, and then some Spotted Cow, Fat Squirrel, and a big bottle of Belgian Red.
December 2nd, 2011 at 10:04 PM ^

December 2nd, 2011 at 10:11 PM ^

Started with my Hoptimus Prime IPA and then switched to a concoction I like to refer to as Bastard Child (IPA/Amber hybrid).
I too am diseased at the moment, but I figure the best way to combat the buggers it to kill 'em with alcohol.
GO BLUE!!!

Woodford Reserve at O'Hare. This should cost me somewhere in the range of $6,000.
December 2nd, 2011 at 10:39 PM ^
Recovering from an injury. Not as fun as it sounds. Not sure how people get hooked on this crap, it makes me nauseated.
December 2nd, 2011 at 10:39 PM ^
Yuengling Traditional Lager, a new arrival here in The Worst State Ever.
December 2nd, 2011 at 10:40 PM ^

It's grind time with finals coming up and papers due so no keg Natty for me tonight. Instead i splurged a little and have a sixer of Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
December 2nd, 2011 at 10:52 PM ^
With that said^ I could use some suggestions for beers to try. I'm not a big fan of stouts or incredibley hoppy beers, but on occasion I do like to deviate from the norm and get a "fancy" six pack. Any suggestions for a younger drinker would be appreciated.
December 2nd, 2011 at 11:02 PM ^
This stuff is nothing special, but try Franzikaner Weissbier. Also, even cheaper, Smithwicks. Relatively cheap and they might be up your alley.
December 2nd, 2011 at 11:07 PM ^
Is that something that I could find around a liquor store in Ann Arbor? Obviously a little more high end liquor store
December 2nd, 2011 at 11:22 PM ^
Smithwick's (note: pronounced smit-icks) is really mainstream, you can find it in any grocery store. Franzikaner, not as much.
Since you're in Ann Arbor, I'll let you in on the best-kept secret: The Wine Seller next to Carpenter Brothers near the Kroger on Plymouth Road. They have the best beer selection in Ann Arbor, and the employees there are VERY helpful, and help recommend a beer. The prices are fair, and they even have "make-your-own-6-pack" where each beer is $1-$2. Definitely a great place to try out different beers and get some "professional" opinions. Make sure to block out a good 20 minutes to spend there, though, because they have literally hundreds of beers, and you'll want to look at them all :)
December 2nd, 2011 at 11:40 PM ^
Weihenstephaner and Hoegaarden are two of my favorite beers.
I suggest going to Hiller's in Ann Arbor. They have a pretty good beer selection. Sofie is also pretty good. It's made by Goose Island and is kinda fancy (as far as beer goes)
December 2nd, 2011 at 11:02 PM ^
Black and Tan on draft!
December 2nd, 2011 at 11:03 PM ^
Bell's Kalamazoo Stout and some sherry before I go to bed. Only Michigan brewed beer for me.
December 2nd, 2011 at 11:51 PM ^
Are you a Michigan Frasier Crane?
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:48 AM ^
I'm listening.
December 2nd, 2011 at 11:09 PM ^
Aged Jack Daniels.... Aged, bitches. Aged.
December 2nd, 2011 at 11:20 PM ^
company Christmas party tonight - the best beer available was Foster's in a can. That ran out, reduced to Miller Lite, with the Mexicans in Shipping. They didn't like it either.
Dear God, thank you for Bella Bistro and their Knob Creek to wash that swill out of my mouth forever.
Funny thing - Hispanics HATE whisky. Broad generalization I know, but based on a 5 person sampling, they prefer tequila. In a blue bottle.
December 2nd, 2011 at 11:22 PM ^
I live in Nebraska and the micro brews here are shit. I don't want a Bud, so just water. Maybe a Jack and touch of coke on the rocks tomorrow. I need some two hearted ale please!
<br>
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:05 AM ^
Bells is available in NE.
December 2nd, 2011 at 11:35 PM ^
Cheap vodka. Cheap beer. Anything to help drown out the sound of a gf on her period. God help me.
December 2nd, 2011 at 11:38 PM ^
Also, I am drinking it the wrong way. Can't do anything right.
December 2nd, 2011 at 11:53 PM ^
You need to go chill with some friends and get away from that debbie downer.
December 2nd, 2011 at 11:56 PM ^
CC and Dr. Pepper. I seem to drink that slower than Jack and Dr. Pepper. Oh that's right, that's because CC sucks. Oh well, I have at least 1000 ml left. Time to get busy.
