Saturday Night Drinking Open Thread

They had Bells for $7.99 at my local foodtown. Actually, also had Founders for $8.99. I went with two hearted. I will be enjoying a good four dollars worth tonight.

Then maybe Mr. Beam and coke.

And Founders red whatever . Mostly makers though. Mmmmmmm.

...but thanks to a friend at a store here in the Detroit area, switching to the good stuff to celebrate a win...

Bells best brown and side cars of powers on the rocks. I like to call it my purple haze!



Was that a pun?!???

Sam Adams Cherry Wheat.  Made with MI cherries, or so they say, so I consider it a local brew.  I got a six of this stuff to serve as a bridge between the fall beers that I just polished off and the yearly Sam Adams Winter Sampler I always get for the Christmas season, but I fear after today's dent in the supply, it might not make it to Thanksgiving.  (I'm very insistent that not one single Christmas tradition starts until after Thanksgiving.)

On an unrelated note, I watched Snatch this past week.  I wonder if "that's not actually Christopher Walken putting on a British accent" is one of things that everyone knows but was at one point mistaken about, sort of like "Steely Dan is a band, not one guy."

It's no joke and remarkably tasty.

...and To Hell With Notre Dame.

I went dog shit cheap because I'm looking for a quick buzz to help forget about a weekend that should have been balls to the wall enjoyable. Instead, it started with us getting to A2 WAY later than I hoped, leaving much sooner than I expected, and culminating with the silent treatment.



Not the parents weekend I had dreamed of.

I'm out of just about everything in my liquor cabinet that could be considered "drinkable". However, tomorrow at noon, I will be purchasing a bottle of Chopin or Belvedere, the contents of which will be combined with the bottle of Clamato juice in my refrigerator. Blood Caesars, here I come!

I will start drinking if Herbie says "pin their ears back" one more damn time. Crown is waiting...

Riunite on ice. What'chu young pups know about that?

Water only after my wife threatened divorce.

Sticking with my ol' staple.  A case of Labatt's.  Can't go wrong with BLUE.

Raging Bitch Belgian IPA

Coming down from being cross-faded trying to recover from that epic game.  Holy crap, what a set of afternoon games though.  Woke up just in time to see A&M clinch it and the blown call in the Penn State game, which occurred almost simultaneously on the dual-TV screen I was watching, what a mix of excitement, sadness, and inebriation.

Lone Star was calling my name from the fridge.

IPA. In large volumes!!

Shiner Bock Holiday Cheer...highly recommended.

Drinking 10 different Christmas Ales

Rolling Rock - only because I'm on a budget. Kinda feels like I'm in college again.

Captain Morgan!

I've been at work since noon. It's been what we in the industry call, "a bitch." I will be on my way home at midnight and I anticipate cracking into a six-pack of Bell's Oarsman.

Me, my beer, some leftover pizza, and the DVR watching the end of today's game. At that point, all the bullshit that has been Saturday will go away.

Sam Adams Oktoberfest in my Hofbrauhaus mug. I can't wait to get back to Munich. 

Bell's Porter for me too.

So, anyone in San Diego, I tried a couple beers from a relatively new brewery in SD. It's called Society Brewing, and they've got some great...GREAT!! Beer! I'm a hop head, and the one I had the past two days is called "Pupil". Citrusy...Nelson or citra hops. Good, good stuff. If you're in town, it's easy to get to, and worth it.

Tonight, I'm having water.. Don't judge me.

Jameson on the rocks. Maybe some Coors Light later.
