What are you going to drink tonight?
Approaching the noon hour, just wondering what everyone's beverage of choice will be tonight to usher in the Harbaugh era? I'm generally a beer guy on game days but might have to kick it up a notch for tonight's special occasion.
Or should we abstain so as not to dull our senses?
What say you? Or should I say, what ales, you?

Any recommendations on what to drink and what not to drink with a cold? I heard whiskey is sometimes used as a cold remedy.
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:32 PM ^
I used to try killing the cold with copious amounts of whiskey in college. Never worked...I only ever felt worse the next day because I was hungover, dehydrated and still sick.
Or maybe a Hot Toddy--hot tea, whiskey, lemon juice and honey. Sometimes I still do that.
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:33 PM ^
Yeah, a hot toddy sounds good. Do they serve those at BWW?
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:37 PM ^
I bet they have hot tea. Old folks love it. Then ask for a shot of whiskey and mix it up.
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:35 PM ^
will knock that shit out, or you'll be dead. Either way you'll feel better.
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:20 PM ^
Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin'
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:22 PM ^
Absolutely nothing until after the game is over. I want to have all my senses going at full speed to take this all in.
Afterwards,
If we win: Vodka shots/mixed drinks (#college)
If we lose and it's a hearbreaker: Red Wine, plus crying
If we lose and it's a blowout: Beer, plus lots of anger

My mini fridge is packed tight with Sam Adams Octoberfest. I would like some pumpkin ale, but will get some of that next weekend. I just have plenty of beer right now.
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:25 PM ^
6 pack of Not Your Fathers Root Beer!
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:38 PM ^
Mix some corn syrup with some crappy liquor for the same effect.
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:25 PM ^
Going to use it rather than tonic for the gin I've got.
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:26 PM ^
1. Rogue Brewery Dead Guy Ale
2. Pyramid ESB

I don't drink unless it is going poorly. I don't expect it to go poorly!
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:28 PM ^
Edit (mixed up years): Thinking about having a KBS...I have a few from 2012, 2013 and one 2015.
And then craft (2H, likely)
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:48 PM ^
You might go ahead and crack open that 2012 KBS. Someone pretty knowledgeable about aging these bourbon barrel beers once told me that 2-3 years is the max before it starts going bad.
I have one left from 2014, and six (count 'em!) still from 2015 which will be saved for the Ohio State game tailgating.
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:52 PM ^
I've been saving it in the hopes of finding a 2014 trade to do a vertical. However, I haven't had any luck. I'll be having it soon even if it's not tonight.
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:29 PM ^
Short's Bellaire Brown, supplemented by Lagavulin in victory or defeat (but obviously victory).
I used to have Short's as one of the second-tier Michigan brewers. Boy, was I wrong.
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:30 PM ^
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:51 PM ^
Bud light bottles, Jameson/rocks
Bud light bottles because I'm a nervous drinker during Michigan games, and I can't take down 12 Dortmunders. The Jameson serves 2 purposes- It celebrates victories and soothes assured defeats.
Jimmy's first win would be special though, may have to pour an Oban tonight.

I'll be at a bdubs in St Claire Shores tonight, so since that's the case I'll be drinking beer. I'll probably only do michigan brews, but depends on what they have on tap. I like my IPA's.
When i'm home, depending on how things go, I also have a bottle of 21 year old glenlivet as my backup.
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:34 PM ^
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:35 PM ^
Heady Topper from the Alchemist. great beer.
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:37 PM ^
Bells Oberon and Two Hearted Ale
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:38 PM ^
Hop Ottin', Free Dive, Jai Alai at the Dog Saloon in Tampa.
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:41 PM ^
Bells Two-Hearted. It's a Michigan kind of day.
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:41 PM ^
Tequila
Who knows after that depending on how the game goes.
Making some BBQ pork sandwiches and wings.
I hate 8pm football.
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:44 PM ^
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:44 PM ^
What will the drinking game be tonight?
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:47 PM ^
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:51 PM ^
So whatever's available for happy hour.
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:54 PM ^
September 3rd, 2015 at 12:55 PM ^
From my trip to Michigan in early August. I know they sell it here (Tampa), but something about it being from home made these cans worth saving for kick-off. After that's done, it's on to the homebrews. I have a kick ass Wee Heavy on tap. It will numb the senses at 13%.

Probably a bit of Parker's Heritage Collection #8 and some Russell's Reserve Single Barrel.

I deny myself the pleasure until football season officially kicks off... WHICH IS TONIGHT!!!
I may also warm up with a nice glass of Glenfiddich 12.
September 3rd, 2015 at 1:21 PM ^
Ice cold with a mist of vermouth across the top and blue chess stuffed olives.
Best gin on the planet bar none
September 3rd, 2015 at 1:23 PM ^
which has been stocked up for the game. Sierra Nevada Octoberfest seems like a good one. I've got some Bell's Two Hearted and Stone Delicious IPA (which is delicious) if I want to go that route. Allagash White for 4PM happy hour to get things started.
September 3rd, 2015 at 1:27 PM ^
I live down in Lauderdale, been in a bit of a financial pickle lately, so I am going to buy a four back of busch light 16 ounce cans when I step off the Tri-Rail at 730pm. Insurance Defense will do that to you.
September 3rd, 2015 at 1:36 PM ^
Sierra Nevada and Great Lakes
September 3rd, 2015 at 1:39 PM ^
Bell's Oracle
September 3rd, 2015 at 1:43 PM ^
I will probably break into one of the packs of Guinness pints (I hoard beer - my wife believes this to be a bad thing) in the basement fridge and go from there. I am pretty sure that I might be in no condition to do more than show up tomorrow at work regardless of the outcome of the game because I am that excited, but maybe I will call it a day after the two meetings I cannot get myself out of.
September 3rd, 2015 at 2:02 PM ^
I bought a bomber of Southern Tier's Pumpking to celebrate the season with!
September 3rd, 2015 at 2:18 PM ^
I run tap water through a filter, and drink that.
September 3rd, 2015 at 2:20 PM ^
And maybe a Fresh squeezed IPA if the booze consumption gets out of hand...
