Friday Night Sparty Hate Week Drinking Thread
A rough week of work yields a good night of drinking. Sparty week just compounds it.
What are you drinking and how are you feeling going into tomorrow?
I'm a couple home brews and a Bells Hell Hath No Fury into the evening. I just don't see a way Michigan drops this game tomorrow. Good guys win by two scores. Go Blue!

Was supposed to go grab drinks with a friend, got cancelled on. That calls for a North Peak, methinks.
October 16th, 2015 at 6:21 PM ^
I love craft beers, but have zero allegiances, especially with IPA's - most are palate-bludgeoning.
But ever try the NP Siren? I did a couple weekends ago, thought it was solid,
October 16th, 2015 at 6:34 PM ^
Siren is fantastic.
October 16th, 2015 at 6:42 PM ^
Siren used to be "Ehhh" but now I'd agree it's a very solid amber ale. I think they have definitely benefitted by moving production away from the original brewpub in TC.
October 16th, 2015 at 7:19 PM ^
Diabolical with the infamous jackalope logo.
October 16th, 2015 at 8:14 PM ^
Love me some Diabolical. Just drank my last one.
I think my favorite is Sinuous, the spring seasonal.
October 16th, 2015 at 7:08 PM ^
I'm generally on board with everything NP makes. Just wish they distributed in Illinois.
October 16th, 2015 at 7:15 PM ^
I wish Two Brothers distributed in Michigan. We should trade...
October 16th, 2015 at 9:16 PM ^
Two Brothers Ebel's Weiss is good stuff!
October 16th, 2015 at 6:13 PM ^
Starcut Pulsar Cider, Lagunitas Pilsner, Shorts Twist of Cain and the grandaddy of them all, TWO HEARTED!!!
October 16th, 2015 at 6:15 PM ^
The owner of the liquor store I go to said the Starcut stuff is pretty good. Worth the buy?
October 16th, 2015 at 6:14 PM ^
I have a 4 am start at the plant tomorrow. I'm getting out at 2:00 and I'm going to head home and watch it solo. Game like this has to viewed alone. I will be drinking Dechustes Black Butte Porter. Also Go Blue!
October 16th, 2015 at 9:04 PM ^
I've got a Wanderlust India pale ale in hand. Never tried it before, but it looked like just the thing. Go blue!
October 16th, 2015 at 6:15 PM ^
A 2014 pinot grigio from my own vineyard. Far too acidic to win any awards, but tasty and certainly thirst quenching. Think lemonade.
Should go well with the bacon/shrimp on the grill!
October 16th, 2015 at 9:27 PM ^
Kidding: that's really cool! You north of Seattle? Beautiful area up that way!
October 16th, 2015 at 6:27 PM ^
Another resident of the lone star state?
Couple of these guys for me tonight... Community just showed up in Austin, pretty excited!
October 16th, 2015 at 6:57 PM ^
Naw. From Ludington MI, live in NW suburbs of Atlanta. Looks good! Don't think they distribute this way.
October 16th, 2015 at 10:30 PM ^
Old Hamlin FTW.
October 16th, 2015 at 11:33 PM ^
Wait...you speaking of the fine eatery there in Ludville?
October 16th, 2015 at 9:14 PM ^
Not even Halloween yet and you are drinking Christmas beer!
Got some 3 Floyds Yum Yum and some Dogfish Head Pumpkin ale here.
October 16th, 2015 at 9:26 PM ^
I know! First time I've seen it on the shelves this fall. I just got excited.
October 16th, 2015 at 6:15 PM ^
GO BLUE!!
October 16th, 2015 at 6:15 PM ^
feeling confident! Not taking anything for granted, gonna give it our best, one game at a time.
Drinking a leftover Marzenbier, y'all probably have never heard of Sam Adams. They're out east somewhere, I think brand new.
Later, after transitioning to whisky, I plan on falling into the fire. I'll be the guy in section 20 with gauze pads all over my head, and a 2 pound salami on my shoulder.
Fuck state. They're getting an assbeating tomorrow.
October 16th, 2015 at 6:16 PM ^
On the road for another 30 minutes, Ann Arbor bound. Going to start dropping draft beers at PF Changs while the Mrs does some shopping at the mall. Probably won't sleep much tonight - too excited for tomorrow :)

My uncle is at Chop House right now and says the town is full of energy.
October 16th, 2015 at 10:18 PM ^
I live downtown and it is BUSTLING!
Driving around today was insane; we've got Los Angeles level traffic on our hands. Only time I view traffic as a good thing. I really haven't seen that many MSU fans, just seems to be a ton of UM people coming in.
October 16th, 2015 at 6:19 PM ^
we came in this weekend for my Mother's birthday party. My wife and I are at Conor O'Neill's for HH. The party is tomorrow. any ideas on where to catch the first half between Jackson and AA until the surprise party starts? I have the joy of arriving at the party with my mother! Catering from Old Carolina thanks to MGOBLOG for the idea!!
October 16th, 2015 at 6:22 PM ^
I wanna try one, based on the label alone.
October 16th, 2015 at 6:22 PM ^
I've never had a Shorts beer I've enjoyed until I had their Spruce Pilsner the other day. Fantastic stuff.
October 16th, 2015 at 6:57 PM ^
Maybe the coolest label I've ever seen.

Made some penne arabiatta for the family so picked up some peronis. Forgot how nice and crisp they were. When everyone goes to sleep it's out to the backyard with the new vape pen
October 16th, 2015 at 6:31 PM ^
That's weird half the message got cut off. Anyway if we hold onto the ball we win. Just don't get behind because of turnovers and our defense wins this game and smashes Sparty!
October 16th, 2015 at 6:31 PM ^
out of chicago, anti hero ipa, my go to
October 16th, 2015 at 6:36 PM ^
A pint of cream stout by Redwood lodge. I have a keg,,,,, so I thought I would put a dent in it to prepare for tomorrow
October 16th, 2015 at 6:38 PM ^
Atwater Vanilla Java Porter. Cool weather is enough excuse to bust out the porters
October 16th, 2015 at 6:38 PM ^
Probably killing an Ichabod tonight. I decided on a case of traditional Sam Adams for tailgating tomorrow, to go with some rum. I like to keep it simple when I am tailgating. Nothing too heavy or exotic.
October 16th, 2015 at 6:40 PM ^
Mate, that is some damn good beer. I recently purchased a six pack.

Sam Adams Octoberfest and Sam Adams Pumpkin Batch

Sam Adams and Southern Tier's Imperial Pumpking are my two favorite October beers.
October 16th, 2015 at 6:53 PM ^
Pumking is amazing.
Will grab you by the boo boo though!

Damn I love Pumking. It had a nice bite to it, but also the delicious pumpkin flavor.
