Saturday Night Drinking - What a Good Idea
Mates,
Since we are in lock-down mode for OT season, but an express waiver was given by LSA for drinking threads, here it is.
What is in your glass/bottle/can? EDIT: I should add that I'm having some red-pop, as usual. Blackstone merlot, pleasant, not too sweet.
What was the agenda for your Saturday? I see a number of you watched an actual, and apparently very exciting, college football game.
And while we're at it, where are you going to be Thursday for kick-off? I will be ending football practice early and sending the kids home so that we can make it back to our home for kick off. We re-up'd on satellite TV yesterday, so we wait with anticipation.

I'm more of a highland park man. But tonight I've got more U-Boot Kolsch.

Wouldn't turn it down, but in my glass tonight (per the usual) is a Balvenie Doublewood. Perfect sweetness to counter the smoke. The AAA Scotch.

Recovering from a vacation to vegas, so staying in this weekend with some brews. Bell's Oarsman at the moment.
I just hit the Red Wedding in my second time through reading ASOIF and it's gotten me all giddy about the series. Started watching season 1 of GoT on demand... what a great 10 episodes of TV!

Michter's Rye Manhattan. Mmm, mmm, good.
August 29th, 2015 at 8:47 PM ^
We had a fun family outing at the fair this morning and afternoon, enjoying the high calorie food, the animal barns, a little music, and a ferris wheel ride.
Now, it's time for me to sit back in my chair and sip a Size 7 IPA from Steel Toe Brewing from a growler I picked up at the brewery yesterday. Delicious.
Just 5 days to go!!

Heard good things about the meatloaf.
August 29th, 2015 at 10:17 PM ^
I usually get the walleye on a stick but the line at Giggles was too long. Kids had the deep fried candy bars on a stick and pronto pups.
August 29th, 2015 at 8:48 PM ^
neat.
August 29th, 2015 at 8:49 PM ^
Moscow Mule in and M Go Blue Moscow cup. I'll be at home Thursday!

Wife's out with friends, power is out in our neighborhood. Looks like I'll be drinking Woodford in the dark.

going to be some fireworks at your house....

Mmmmm...Woodford Reserve
August 29th, 2015 at 8:56 PM ^
From Dark Horse. It's a bit heavy but a great way to start the night. Switching to Sam Adams seasonal for the rest of the night... As soon as this bar taps their first keg of it in a few

Coots light tall boy at the moment
August 29th, 2015 at 8:59 PM ^
We went to sushi for dinner, and now I've cracked open a Coors Light.
August 29th, 2015 at 9:26 PM ^
Hope you had some hot Sake.

is wonderful with good sushi. warm sake is more like having cider with some great seafood. just doesn't seem right.

Playing some Halo 4 and drinking a sprite. Nothing better, right?

Master Chief, I presume. Fun game. One of my favorites.

It's a great game

Halo 4 is great and personally my favorite of the bunch. I don't understand the hatred some people have towards 343's version of Halo. I am really looking forward to Guardians this autumn.
August 30th, 2015 at 12:07 AM ^
It goes Halo Reach than Halo 4. I think 343 did a great job

Dry dock hop abomination for me. Hopefully it makes Thursday come much quicker
August 29th, 2015 at 8:59 PM ^
Oh and I watched football and #stitthappened. Great game
August 29th, 2015 at 9:01 PM ^
The plan is to be home, done with some work around the yard, some classwork, and a nice hot shower before getting prepped for the game. Very excited.

Sierra Nevada octoberfest. I'm actually impressed with it, I generally find SN to be a little overrated (still drinkable but not a favorite) but this one is quote good.
August 29th, 2015 at 9:13 PM ^
Had a few of those this past week... For an Oktoberfest it's pretty good

I typically hate Octoberfest brews but I'll give this a shot.
August 29th, 2015 at 9:57 PM ^
You really like that one? No Octoberfest is better than Sam Adams. I had Sierra Nevada's a couple weeks back and did not enjoy it.

and seagrams 7.
it's a delicious twist on 7 and 7. if you haven't tried it yet, you should.
August 29th, 2015 at 9:23 PM ^
Sounds awesome. Will be offering this drink this fall. Thanks!

My BPL team is Everton. My son is a Spurs fan. They played each other today in a surprisingly entertaining 0-0 draw. Tim Howard had a number of oustanding saves.
Made dinner for the flock, including this corn/chard gratin that both kids ate: http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017637-chard-and-sweet-corn-gratin
The MGoWife went to UVa, and we are now sipping Mai Tai's (the original Trader Vic recipe) and watching them play UCLA in W. Volleyball on the Pac 12 network.
Speaking of which, time for another Mai Tai.
My son plays on AA-Skyline's varsity soccer team and they play at Temperence Bedford on Thursday night. So we'll be starting the Utah game on DVR delay when we get back home.
August 29th, 2015 at 9:33 PM ^
Go Toffees!
August 29th, 2015 at 10:57 PM ^
That match was fun to watch. Howard was great. Spurs are effed up right now, which is fine by me. MUFC plays Swansea tomorrow, in Wales. I hope that MUFC have put their habit of choking to the lesser EPL teams behind them (they probably haven't, yet - see result against Newcastle).
August 29th, 2015 at 9:08 PM ^
Great Lakes Lake Erie monster. This is the first year I tried it and I absolutely can't get enough. Definitely a pace yourself beer.
August 29th, 2015 at 9:11 PM ^
Seriously though, whole milk.
August 29th, 2015 at 9:12 PM ^
Yeah, Friday and Saturday drinking threads are quasi-traditional during the season. Actually, the last few seasons, they've been a rather needed coping mechanism in the fall. All the same, the neighborhood purveyor of alcoholic goodness got his hands on some Taylor's port wine, which I am now enjoying as I watch the Seattle-San Diego game move towards halftime.

Keeping it simple and just drinking Labatt tonight.
Thursday I'm probably watching the game with my parents and my wife

Hot Cocoa and high school football. Sounds lame, but alcohol is going to mess me up. I need to get up early.
Thursday, I will be watching the game at home with friends. Took Friday off, thanks someone suggesting on the board. Sounded like a good idea, win or lose. Hopefully, win. Looking forward to Thursday.
August 29th, 2015 at 9:20 PM ^
Thank you. Glenlivet 12 tonight
But not very much. Loading the plane up in AM with the MGoSophomore and all her stuff. Can't wait to taxi off runway 24 in Ann Arbor (or whatever they assign me--might be 06) and get everything off to a great start.
Then there's, ahem, what? Football? Can't wait!
August 29th, 2015 at 9:23 PM ^
if so, recon the stadium, send pics back to the mgoglitterati.
safe flying, too.
