OT- final what you drinking thread of OT season 2014.

I hate talking bad about a brewery, because it's usually full of hard working guys, but aside from their cucumber kolsch, everything I have had from them at flat 12 tastes like homebrew, I went into their taproom a couple months ago and they were serving out of jockey boxes into dollar general plastic cups. It was a pretty big let down.

Someone embed the Futurama clip where Nixon drinks rose

I got the unsigned copy about a week ago.

You and me both, brother. You and me both.

Couple of months; weather on the weekends have been too nice.

I've gotten lazy with my pig rubs: just mix together paprika, montreal steak seasoning, and brown sugar.

Gonna drink whatever they have at the spanish place we will be eating at (Estrella, probably)

They're out there, but usually hard to find in my experience.  You don't usually see them in grocery stores.  One that I've occasionally found at least seasonally is Angry Orchard Strawman Farmhouse.  It's harder than their other stuff, I think like 10% alcohol compared to the typical 5-6% you normally see.

If I can't find that, I actually like Angry Orchard in general... some of their varieties are very flavorful and layered compared to a lot of the other ho hum brands out there.  If you've only tried one, I recommend trying some other varieties.  But that's just me, I suppose.

I also strongly recommend making yourself a stonewall sometime, if you haven't already.  It's probably my favorite mixed drink outside of the standard old whiskey and Coke.  I'd figure you're probably open to the idea since you like bourbon ale.  It's basically just bourbon and hard cider (or just regular cider,) and if you're like me you'll add some cinnamon, maybe nutmeg, ginger... I've heard of people adding cloves or lemon juice too, though I've never done it. It's an awesome drink to heat up on a cold autumn night as well, around the camp fire or whatever.

 

Finding a non-pastureized cider from a local orchard and letting it harden up yourself? Airborn yeast, an airlock and bottling is all it takes.

Either way those kids have already won. Also, thank god it is not NORTH Korea.

Quick tip: don't get obliterated on your own dime. Spend the extra money to get the nicer stuff. Drink one or two save the rest. Go to a party to finish the bight

Good luck, I just spent last night on Ohio State's campus. Survived the night, even with the group I was with knowing I'm a Michigan fan.

Not every drink has to be artificilly fruit flavored.
