My wife apparently cleaned out BevMo. Hopefully she got something good.

In the foothills of Mt Nittany. I figured it was appropriate on this chilly November night.
November 20th, 2015 at 7:45 PM ^
Clearly an alcohol suggestion winking face.

New Belgium Rampant is my new friend and trusted agent of the week.
November 20th, 2015 at 7:39 PM ^
15 pack of all day. Hopefully I can stay under 7 tonight so I have some for tomorrow.
November 20th, 2015 at 7:55 PM ^
Proper prevention prevents piss poor performance.
You should have grabbed 2 cases.
November 20th, 2015 at 7:39 PM ^

November 20th, 2015 at 7:44 PM ^
How are you preparing this?
November 20th, 2015 at 7:59 PM ^
like my mind. butter, salt, pepper, on the grill on a piece of foil. some asparagus too.
November 20th, 2015 at 8:44 PM ^
But how are you preparing the white wine?
November 20th, 2015 at 9:44 PM ^
and get a little closer to room temperature. all done now. up at 0400 hrs.
November 20th, 2015 at 10:10 PM ^

Big week for me at work, so I'm celebrating with a beer (or two) that is decidedly un-macho. Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin.
Before you mock it, try it. We ain't talkin' Bud Light Lime here! I usually limit my adjuncts to coffee in stouts and porters, but this is just freakin' delicious.
Cheers, all!
November 20th, 2015 at 7:52 PM ^
Love Grapefruit Sculpin!! Costs an arm and a leg but is by far my favorite beer right now. Enjoy!
November 20th, 2015 at 7:53 PM ^
Ballast Point Sculpin is delicous w/ or w/o the grapefruit flavoring.
November 20th, 2015 at 8:09 PM ^
Two obvious points:
- Of course it's ridiculous to term any beverage "macho" or "unmacho". Folks should drink what they like. If a guy enjoys a Pink Squirrel or a Cosmo, ride and prevail, brother!
- For all of that, some beverages are deemed to be less macho than others in our normative society. It's been going on at least since Clarence ordered a hot buttered rum or mulled cider (or whatever) in It's a Wonderful Life, and it's still a societal norm.
I'm trailblazing here, and I want some damned credit! (Baby steps.)
November 20th, 2015 at 9:08 PM ^
Okay, Everyone Murders. I upvoted your stand against normative society via grapefruit beer.
Cheers!
November 20th, 2015 at 9:39 PM ^
"Ride and prevail, brother!" I might make this my new motto. And I agree with your sentiment--drink what makes you happy.
November 20th, 2015 at 10:14 PM ^
Bourbon and beer qualify. And a good red wine if a woman is present. Scotch, no matter how good, is just barely passable. The rest are reserved for gold chain wearing guidos and homosexuals.
November 20th, 2015 at 11:10 PM ^
I enjoy a Cosmo every now and again. Ain't nothin' wrong with cranberry (or grapefruit) juice.
November 20th, 2015 at 8:13 PM ^
Ballast Point Habanero Sculpin would be the macho one...that stuff is str8 fire.
November 21st, 2015 at 5:57 AM ^
Yeah, I found a good trick though. Mix half habanero and half grapefruit. It tamps down the spiciness, but retains the great flavors of both.
November 20th, 2015 at 8:01 PM ^
Did you see the brewery was recently sold for a billion dollars?
November 20th, 2015 at 8:07 PM ^
A buddy in SDO told me it was about to happen. I hope they don't let the big brewery folks ruin a really good line of ales (Big Eye IPA is my current go-to IPA).
November 20th, 2015 at 8:15 PM ^
It wasn't the death star that bought it, but close enough. Crazy amount of money. So long, BP, it was great.
November 20th, 2015 at 9:44 PM ^
I recently read an article (perhaps in the context of the sale of Lagunitas) suggesting that when a big corporate beverage company buys a craft brewery it is not necessarily a bad thing. The new owner has incentives to produce the same good beers, which have a loyal following. But they also bring quality control and distribution networks. I see the point--I like the idea of being able to get Lagunitas as an option at a pub in Ireland or France or something. By the same token, it might become a lot easier to find these beers in regular grocery stores in the US, rather than having to go to a specialty place.
November 20th, 2015 at 10:10 PM ^
Yes, and they also have access to a guaranteed supply of hops, since the big brewers have long term contracts with farms. That can be an issue in some years when the harvests aren't great.
But the incentive to extract savings from the brewing process is still there, and these conglomerates are responsible for destroying or eliminating many of the good beers in the past. They won't be getting my money unless I don't have a choice in some bar.
November 20th, 2015 at 9:27 PM ^
Guilty nothing. That's a good beer. Ever had it blended with the habanero Sculpin?

November 20th, 2015 at 10:17 PM ^
At that price point I want to taste a balanced beer. Is it just "hot", or is it worth a try?
November 20th, 2015 at 7:48 PM ^
Two fresh kegs in the kegerator. Hurricane Kitty( a delicious IPA) and a Neapolitan Stout ( tastes like the ice cream). I'm super excited for this weekend!
November 20th, 2015 at 8:37 PM ^
Wow a Keg of Neapolitan? Not sure I'd want that much of it but I do like it
November 20th, 2015 at 7:50 PM ^
Had a Shiner Holiday Cheer at work this afternoon. Cheers!
November 20th, 2015 at 7:50 PM ^
I have a bottle of 25 year Highland Park and a nicely complementary bottle of Balevenie Portwood 21 year to go with it.
The problem with 12:30 kicks is that they start at 9:30 here, and that's just too early for single malt. Coffee chased by a halftime omelette is about the best I can muster.
November 20th, 2015 at 7:53 PM ^
I want to get drunk faster
