OT - Friday Posbang (kind of?) - what are you drinking thread
August 9th, 2013 at 11:22 AM ^
so I'll be brief: Quitting my current job, starting a new job on Monday, nothing really for me to do today so I'm just watching the clock tick away. (NEED MOAR CONTENT, PLZ!) And on a weekend that I desperately need some rest, my wife has planned all sorts of things for us to do. So, I'm drinking coffee and switching to beer as soon as the day is over. Black Crown most likely. Ugh.

Quitting my job as well. Today is my last day! It is also beer friday in the office so I get to enjoy a few cold ones starting at 2 o'clock. As soon as I get out of work, I will be making the 4 hour drive from Boulder to Gunnison, CO where I will be going back to school in the fall to earn another Bachelor's degree.
August 9th, 2013 at 12:30 PM ^
brings back memories. We used to fly into Denver, then get on a Ritchie Valens type plane and fly to Gunnison, and on to Crested Butte to downhill for a week. Awesome stuff. I wonder if Crested Butte Brewery still has Red Lady Ale? Good stuff, but it's been 16 years or so.
August 9th, 2013 at 12:15 PM ^
Just quit my job and am starting a new one on Monday as well. I am right there with you on the NEED MOAR CONTENT part.
As far as drinking goes, it is only 11:15 and there is a bottle of Jack staring at me, tempting me. Let's see how long I can resist....
August 9th, 2013 at 12:25 PM ^
to each of you, my Michigan brothers, to good luck starting your new career paths.
But I'd say you only need to resist until noon, then all bets are off.
Jared Wangler just "quit" Penn State. This is totally catching on! Wait....why are we already drinking??
I'm in a similar boat: yesterday was my last day. Now I've got a week (and change) off before starting my new gig a week from Monday. It's only 10 am out here, and I have to go look at apartments, so coffee is the drink of choice. Later it will be a growler from TBD (whichever brewery catches my attention as I'm running errands today).
August 9th, 2013 at 11:22 AM ^
Mother Earth tap takeover.
August 9th, 2013 at 11:22 AM ^
11:20??? Betty Ford on line 2... But there will be Stellas in the not-too-distant future.
August 9th, 2013 at 11:22 AM ^
I'm trying you guys.
August 9th, 2013 at 11:25 AM ^
Brian - wasn't meant as a jab/bitching. Just keepin the Posbangs alive through the transition.
August 9th, 2013 at 11:27 AM ^
Tradition.

Leaving this afternoon for an Alaskan cruise... Not exactly sure what to expect, but I am pretty excited anyway....
Might have a Founder's Dirty Bastard before I head out.
August 9th, 2013 at 11:29 AM ^
Great time of year for it, I believe the Salmon are running? not sure, but if you have an opportunity to get in some fishing, its a great time. And if you're in Anchorage at all, check out Humpy's Alehouse. Great beer and the fish tacos are incredible. (no pun intended).
August 9th, 2013 at 11:46 AM ^
I will be spending the night in Anchorage tonight actually, and I also have a fishing charter lined up for Wednesday I believe haha...
I will definitely try to check out Humpy's tonight!
August 9th, 2013 at 11:51 AM ^
If you have time, and are able to make unilateral decisions, you can always check out ABC. :-)
August 9th, 2013 at 11:57 AM ^
Alaska is the promised land for me. Do me a favor and eat some fresh salmon. I'll enjoy it vicariously. We took an Alaskan cruise a couple years ago and since then our computer puked and we lost all our pictures from the trip. I have 3 pictures from the port and that's it.
August 9th, 2013 at 12:03 PM ^
You should also check out Moose's Tooth pizza in Anchorage. Amazing pizza and great beer which they brew themselves. You can even get it to go in growlers.
Far and I've been on a few. You will be so relaxed by looking at the scenery it's crazy. Have fun
August 9th, 2013 at 11:26 AM ^
Half Decaf - it's a craaaaazy morning...
But I will be going to a Quaker Steak & Lube wing buffett for lunch. Later on, I'll hit up a killer happy hour where I'll likely get thundered on Rogue Dead Guy Ale. After that, it's a cab home to wifey!
August 9th, 2013 at 11:27 AM ^
It's 10:25 here in Chicago, and I try not to drink before Noon..Eastern Standard Time.
That being said, I have a mix and match of Goose Island to sip on tonight as I cheer on my almighty CHICAGO BEARS. Da Coach would approve.
August 9th, 2013 at 11:27 AM ^
At the very least, we can posbang the OP while the Dear Leader fixes our problem
August 9th, 2013 at 11:44 AM ^
If Brain is Dear Leader, are we Fellow MGoTravelers?
August 9th, 2013 at 11:31 AM ^
Coffee, dreaming of when it turns to Oberon.
August 9th, 2013 at 11:39 AM ^
That is a brilliant idea! I think coffee and orange juice make a great duo in the morning. What if we started a mail campaign to try and get Bell's to create a new Oberon next year with an added layer of coffee flavor? It could be breakfast Oberon.
August 9th, 2013 at 11:33 AM ^
Cinnful Cider
I was drinking it after midnight last night, so it counts for Friday!
August 9th, 2013 at 11:37 AM ^
Going to play 9. Going home taking a nap. Then the Detroit Lions ill be watching that! With a nice cold beer in my hand. Because its football season Dammit! Hail.
August 9th, 2013 at 11:38 AM ^
A Snapple. And even though it says "shake before opening" I didn't do it... no one tells me what to do.
August 10th, 2013 at 12:47 PM ^
We have a rebel here!

Posbanging your wife
August 9th, 2013 at 11:44 AM ^
Posbanging your...son?
August 9th, 2013 at 11:44 AM ^
Soju, smoked duck, haemul pajeon.
August 9th, 2013 at 12:17 PM ^
Holy Korean meal & drinking!
My parents like makgili and samgyupsal
. And my dad wonders why he has to take Lipitor o.ODrinking diet pepsi. Will have a margarita when I get home.
August 9th, 2013 at 12:23 PM ^
Soju + Coca Cola = Heaven
August 9th, 2013 at 12:32 PM ^
Soju + anything = blech. Always a bad time, usually accompanied by a searing headache and much regret.
August 9th, 2013 at 12:39 PM ^
His stories of 1, 2, or 3 (4?) soju bottle nights were terrific. He brought some back. Stuff sucks, but whadya want for a buck?
The last big party I went to that featured soju involved 2 girls fighting, one overdramatized 'overdose' attempt, blood in vomit (before I knew what gastritis was), and whipped cream.
And again, a horrible headache, and much regret the next morning.
Blech
August 9th, 2013 at 11:44 AM ^
something do I still get my valued Mgopoints? anyway - going to a BBQ later apparently with a Hawaiian theme so it will be Mai Tai's for me.
August 9th, 2013 at 11:50 AM ^
My wife and MiL are taking the boys to Palm Springs until Monday. Bad news: I don't get to go to Palm Springs. Good news: I get the weekend off. Not sure what I'm going to do, but nothing will play a pretty big role.
after surfing at topanga or kanan.
if you have to live out there, at least enjoy it.
August 9th, 2013 at 11:50 AM ^
Going to The Greene Turtle with some friends and seeing who can complete the tap line. Meaning the bar has 20 different beers on tap, and we wanna see who can get the furthest. My Friday evening.
August 9th, 2013 at 11:58 AM ^
Last weekend in CA before I finished my Masters program so I will be wrapping up my final project and packing. And then it's back to Michigan on Thursday. Just in time for American Collegiate Tackle Foosball!
August 9th, 2013 at 11:58 AM ^
Wendy's iced tea. cause it is my lunchbreak and I'm actually contributing to society!
August 10th, 2013 at 12:46 PM ^
Contributing?
August 9th, 2013 at 12:02 PM ^
B&B and winery tours with the missus. Our last weekend alone before the kids return home from camp.
August 9th, 2013 at 12:09 PM ^
Right now I am drinking DayQuil. Later it will be DayQuil and vodka...I've heard it is great for the liver.
