What are you drinking on this Friday?
Just wondering what everyone is drinking on this Friday evening.
I'm making it a Shorts Beer night....Nicie Spicie, Strawberry Shortscake, and Noble Chaos (their Oktoberfest).
August 20th, 2010 at 8:30 PM ^
6 pack of Newcastle Brown Ale, 6pack Blue Moon Honey Moon
August 21st, 2010 at 12:15 AM ^
How is Honey Moon? I have seen it but I'm reluctant to try it for no apparent reason.
August 21st, 2010 at 2:17 AM ^
good. not spectacular. but good
August 20th, 2010 at 8:30 PM ^
I have to do a radio show tonight.
August 20th, 2010 at 10:54 PM ^
how do you find the 5 hr. energy? I have not tried it but am interested in Mgopinion
August 20th, 2010 at 11:11 PM ^
I've found that it works pretty well in the few times I've used it. I definitely felt alert at a level where I wasn't dragging nor felt like I was hopped up on caffeine. I felt..."normal" -- if that makes sense.
However, I wouldn't recommend mixing it with what had to have been about 15 beers. Actually, I wouldn't recommend drinking 15 beers, period. Unless you have to, in which case, I say drink up.
August 20th, 2010 at 11:11 PM ^
Agree.
I drink tons of 5 hour energy during fb season. If I start drinking at noon I usually throw one back around 7pm and it helps me pull through that 7-9pm period before I catch my second wind.
August 21st, 2010 at 9:53 AM ^
Maybe I'm alone but the first time I tried it, I sweat my ass off. Granted I was driving a U-Haul from South Carolina to Michigan at the time -- so that may have had something to do with it. Other than the sweat factor, I thought it worked fairly well.
August 20th, 2010 at 8:30 PM ^
Oberon.....
Plus the last bottle of my Mt. Pleasant Brewing Company Coal Stokers Blackberry Ale.
August 20th, 2010 at 8:31 PM ^
I just got a 6 pack mix of Oktoberfest beer: Shorts, Sam Adams, Shiner, Hofbrau, Beck's and Hacker-Pschorr.
Shorts Noble Chaos: Not a big fan, too hoppy for an Oktoberfest style. How do you like it?
One thing is for sure: when Oktoberfest starts hitting the shelves, it's time for the maize and blue to run out of the tunnel and touch the banner.
August 20th, 2010 at 8:35 PM ^
It is a bit different for an oktoberfest, but still good and easy to drink. A very sessionable oktoberfest.
August 20th, 2010 at 8:37 PM ^
I agree - drinkable for sure but I think it's better for a winter style. Out of the ones I tried, I always love Sam Adams but can't go wrong with Hofbrau. I also like Ichibod by New Holland -- that should be out soon.
August 20th, 2010 at 8:42 PM ^
Jaw Jacker from Arcadia is an awesome autumn/pumpkin beer.
Seems way too early for oktoberfests and autumn ales, they seem to make their appearance earlier every year, and I always tell myself..."not until Sept 1, not until Sept 1", but I always buy them when I see them and therefore have to drink them
August 20th, 2010 at 8:49 PM ^
Close Enough...
August 20th, 2010 at 8:56 PM ^
Carvin Johnson approve of dis message.
August 21st, 2010 at 12:25 AM ^
made me remember my favorite commercial of ALL TIME (even though I was young when I first saw it)
Also, answering the question in this post... "Water" :( I'm at my parents' house. 11 whole days til I move back to AA... way too long.
August 21st, 2010 at 12:49 AM ^
are actually probably also ales, not true lagers. It's not cold enough yet for most places to do true oktoberfest beers.
Myself, I'm drinking one of my own 'winterish' ales - brown but not too heavy esp in a cold mug.
Can't get into the pumpkin beers too much...
August 21st, 2010 at 12:19 AM ^
Smashed Pumpkin Ale from Shipyard Brewing Co. is an absolute MUST for the fall. I love it.
August 20th, 2010 at 8:31 PM ^
if your going shorts, gotta go with huma or my new favorite stellar ale.
August 20th, 2010 at 8:34 PM ^
The Huma you can get anytime now, so I'm going with some of their limited bottle releases tonight. I haven't heard or seen the Stellar Ale, what style is it and how is it?
August 20th, 2010 at 8:35 PM ^
Do you work at Shorts?
August 20th, 2010 at 8:37 PM ^
Ha, I wish...I could do their books for them.
August 21st, 2010 at 11:18 AM ^
August 21st, 2010 at 11:18 AM ^
i posted what's described on the short's site above but I love me IPAs and pale ales and that is one i really enjoyed
another i recently picked up (from kroger) was Great Lakes Brewery's Commodore Perry, %7.5 stronger IPA. good blend of hops and strength, but not too "plain"
August 20th, 2010 at 8:33 PM ^

Rifling through a 12 pack right now. Some buddies and I had a great little cocktail hour earlier- Beam Old Fashioneds. Time to back her on down a little.
August 20th, 2010 at 11:02 PM ^

August 20th, 2010 at 8:39 PM ^
If you can't tell from my ornery replies on other threads, nothing...yet.
August 20th, 2010 at 8:41 PM ^

August 20th, 2010 at 8:42 PM ^
Bell's Pale Ale
August 20th, 2010 at 8:47 PM ^

Most of their beers are really good....+1 to their IPA
August 20th, 2010 at 8:52 PM ^
Yuengling Traditional Lager. Brewed and bottled by Americas Oldest Brewery.
August 20th, 2010 at 10:11 PM ^
I don't care if you have had the shittiest life ever and no one would ever trade spots with you for a second, the fact that you are drinking Yuengling and I am not makes me so fucking jealous of you right now. Damn you, you bastard!
August 21st, 2010 at 1:04 AM ^
Oh so tasty! That light amber coloring coupled with a beautiful full body bitter. Pennsylvania's finest!
August 20th, 2010 at 8:54 PM ^
St. Bernardus abt 12.
August 20th, 2010 at 8:54 PM ^
Pabst. I have a 5K in the morning so I can't get all sketchy lush supreme.
August 20th, 2010 at 8:56 PM ^
Just kidding. I don't think my body can handle that stuff anymore after drinking that pretty much exclusively during my freshman year
My drink of choice:
