Friday what are you drinking?

Submitted by readyourguard on
We're having a little "quarterly bonus" celebration tonight. We had bone-in RibEye as the entree and I picked up a mix&match 12 pack from the store.

My variety pack included:
Bell's Oberon, 2 Hearted Ale, & Midwestern Pale Ale
Fat Tire & Rolle Bolle
Tap Room No.21 Pale Ale, Amber Ale, & Copper Honey Lager
Founder's Dirty Bastard
New Castle Brown Ale
And 2 Redbridge for my wife.

The steaks look great. I'll let you know how the beers are as I go.

for me the summer of the bar exam.   made up for it later though.

if you get to the point that you know the multi-state question and the answers when you're only half way throught the question, then you'll know you are ready.   i played the fight song before each of the 3 days of my bar exam, imaging what it was like as we would come out on the ice and the band would be playing and the giant "M" flags would be waving.  i was totally fired up for the test, and you will be too!

I'm not drinking anything tonight but water. However, I did enjoy some great beers the past week or so. Beers enjoyed lately include: RR Pliny the Elder, RR Supplication, Ballast Point Sculpin, Boulevard Nommo Dubbel, Boulevard Sixth Glass Quad, and Boulevard Rye-on-Rye.

Had 2 beers from my own mixed 12 pack with grilled salmon for dinner. Red Hook Long Hammer IPA and Summit Brewing Extra Pale Ale. Both very drinkable and pleasant but nothing to write home about. Now working on a Tanqueray Rangpur over ice with lime while watching the Tigers. An excellent capper to an evening highlighted by roughhousing with my grandson.

It sounds great.  I live in RTP (hence the handle) and so far haven't seen it.  I'm a regular at the craft brew establishments here and it doesn't seem to have hit the shelves - I'm on the allocation lists so if it were here I'd get it.  Enjoying a Stone espresso imperial stout ($6.99) at the moment and slumming on mgoblog.

 

I've probably said this several times but if you can get the White Oak by the Bruery it is a must have.  Enjoy it on a hot day.  Uber refreshing, fresh ale with a bourbon barrel touch.  Most similar thing I can think that compares to it is Allagash's Curieaux, which is excellent, but White Oak is a meta beer.

Brooklyn tap takeover at Sam's in Durham - had the Silver Anniversary, Local 1, Local 2, Blast! and the Sorachi Ace.  Went over to Dos Perros for a Backwoods Bastard  and an Victory Oak Horizontal.   Its good to be the king.

North Peak Brewing Siren Amber Ale, followed by a Killian's and now the fruit loops of beer leinenkugles Sunset Wheat. Need to clear out some space in the beer fridge.

Had a Boston Lager earlier, and ended the night with a couple shots of tequila (my favorite liquor). One of Milagro Select Barrel Reserve Silver and another of Cazadores Añejo. I don't get to drink liquor much, so since I have one more night with the wife before she works night shift this weekend, I figured I'd take advantage.

My wife interrupted my perfectly good birthday evening a few hours ago by announcing that our laundry room was flooded, there was water under the flooring, most had ended up in the basement, and we would have to pull up the tile in the laundry room immediately lest we get mold. Looks like I'll be spending tomorrow morning nursing a hang over and trolling the aisles at Lowes.

Vanilla Smirnoff and OJ.  Tastes like creamsicles.

Then I'm moving on to attack the rack of shitty beer in my fridge.  After a week of dropping $20 literally every night at AA establishments, it's time to let my wallet recover (fuck the liver though).

that's what happens when you go to the home of some very nice people for a graduation party, when the dad happens to be a baptist preacher.  oh well, tomorrow night.
