Superbowl What are you eating/drinking thread

Submitted by BlueNation on February 3rd, 2013 at 5:09 PM

I'm sure there will be another thread for the actual game. I'm interested in the food and drink choices for the night. I'm drinking a variety of different Bell's beer. I picked up Winter White, Amber Ale, and Oarsman Ale. Almost got the Kalamazoo stout, but decided against it. As for food, I'm eating whatever people show up with! Enjoy folks, and go Niners!

I keep hearing about it. Who makes it and where can I find it? I thought I heard Bell's makes it, but I haven't seen it.

Bell's makes it. It's a limited release in 6 packs and I think they only do half kegs for draft. I got the last 6er at my local store. I work in Kzoo and I look forward to this time of the year just for Hopslam. Delicious.

It's bells alright and it's as good as advertised. It's a seasonal and highly sought so you need to go to your fancy beer store if you don't live in the distribution footprint and ask. It doesn't stay on the shelves and outside of the Midwest it gets gobbled up by beer snobs before it hits the shelves.

I like the Smitten, I'm just confused why it was released as a seasonal in February. It's light-bodied, refreshing, nothing real complex. It feels more like a spring or summer seasonal. That said, I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason.

It may just be capacity, but yeah, Smitten would be better recieved if it were a summer release.

It isn't ready yet, but I am working on Tuscan chicken with a tomato basil relish, orzo and a salad. My wife is going with the Chianti, and I decided to go with the Hacker-Pschorr. Beyond that, we're almost all set for the Super Bowl here.

venison sausage and a block of roasted bell pepper Colby-Jack cheese to snack on. Also making tacos in the next little bit here.

Going with a bottle of Smirnoff Raspberry that got left at the apartment after a party this weekend. It doesn't get a whole lot better than free booze and tacos (and cheese and venison).

It's pretty good. I can't place what it tastes like but it's got a premium beer taste with the 6% but with the Bud Light price. I would recommend it.
