Flate 12's Walkabout Pale Ale. A local beer, it's dogshit. Later I'll have Three Floyd's Alpha King Pale Ale, not dogshit.

In the backyard enjoying a Loire valley rosé while trying to write performance reviews. It's a nice rosé, but nothing can make writing performance reviews enjoyable.

OT - I got my HTTV t-shirt and the signed copy just now in the mail. Does my second (unsigned) copy come later or was there a mistake in my order being fulfilled?
August 23rd, 2014 at 5:30 PM ^
I got the unsigned copy about a week ago.
August 23rd, 2014 at 5:38 PM ^
Hmmm...I wonder where my unsigned one is. I'll wait awhile before bitching and moaning.

Founder's All DAy (and night) IPA...

Screwdrivers in a little downtown Fort Myers tavern. Last time for three months. It's finally time to return to the sports bar (Leeroy Selmon's) for football season.
August 23rd, 2014 at 5:34 PM ^
Pretty sure I just wrapped up the newest MGoBlog Fantasy Football Championship today.
August 23rd, 2014 at 5:34 PM ^
Hot, strong coffee. Lots to do yet today.

Prepping a boston butt for smoking tomorrow. It could be interesting. I ran out of my home made rub so I bought some pre made at the butcher shop. Drinking some pbr.
August 23rd, 2014 at 6:36 PM ^
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)

Kentucky bourbon barrell ale, not bad at all.
I've also been wanting to try a legit hard farmhouse cider (not like the woodchuck or angry orchard stuff) but dont know where to look, any suggestions?
August 23rd, 2014 at 6:56 PM ^
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.
August 23rd, 2014 at 7:01 PM ^
I will give those both a shot, thanks!

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.

I am drinking in the sweet success of the Jackie Robinson West baseball team from Chicago, who just won the U.S. Little League World Series on a double play. They play South Korea tomorrow.

I decided to have a Cigar City Jai Alai as well. This just took over as my favorite IPA (not DIPA) overtaking Ballast Point Sculpin.

Slimy Pebble Pils by North Country Brewing of Slippery Rock, PA

Mountain Dew Voltage to something a little stronger.
I picked up a growler at the newest local brewpub on my 3rd visit there (they just opened up in early August), Arclight Brewery in nearby Watervliet, MI. First fill is their tasty IPA, called When Worlds Collide. I would honestly rate this IPA among the top 10% of all IPA's I've ever enjoyed. Perfect balance, and the lingering bitterness after the last sip leaves you longing for another...and another...and another.

of Benton Harbor/St. Joe, in northern Berrien County.
As I've complained before, we're the 'orphan'/red-headed stepchild/outcast of the Lower Penninsula. Chicago thinks they own us, and the FCC allows South Bend to own us, so I get absolutely no Michigan TV stations even though I'm just a half-hour from Kalamazoo. Only having FoxSportsDetroit and the BigTen Network keeps me from total isolation and insanity.
Fortunately, though, I no longer have to go far for a good IPA or Stout!

Reading these comments make me long for the day I'll have a real job and can afford something other than Natural Light (sigh).

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.

Got a Two Hearted can going here, FF draft starting in a few. Managed to track down a Bell's Mars this afternoon, feeling real good about that.
August 23rd, 2014 at 6:31 PM ^
August 23rd, 2014 at 6:36 PM ^
I'm personally looking forward to Saturn, the BA Barleywine. Mars is supposed to come in to bottle shops here in GA next week, and I hope to grap a 6 pack.
August 23rd, 2014 at 6:42 PM ^
Gonna get into it next week, I think. Could only buy one bottle.
August 23rd, 2014 at 10:33 PM ^
some Bell's Mars IPA when i'm in Kalamazoo this coming Thursday. I just read yesterday about their "Planets" series of brews and I don't understand why they only are planning 7: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. No Earth, and predictably, Pluto again goets dissed.
August 23rd, 2014 at 11:45 PM ^
It's designed to coincide with the Gustav Holst suite, which didn't include Earth, and was written before Pluto was discovered (and subsequentally de-planeted). Hence, seven movements and seven beers, not nine.

Not every drink has to be artificilly fruit flavored.
