OT - Friday Night Drinking Thread
I had a new one tonight at BWW in Monroe.
Arcadia Sky High Rye, on tap. It's a rye pale ale with really intense grapefruit flavors, but very smooth so they're not offensive. The notes said a variety of flavors were present, but all I could find was grapefruit, with a hint of peach in the nose. This was not unpleasant. In fact, it went exceptionally well with the carribian jerk wings, and I would highly recommend it. I've not had anything from Arcadia brewery before, but I'll be on the lookout for some other stuff.

I cannot start a new thread but i am getting a MICHIGAN helmet from the Mden on Wednesday (Late Birthday Gift) and i know they have a bar in them, but does anyone know if the bar can be removed? It is the one that they advertise for 270...Any info??
Bud Light and Jager though.

Dude, you asked this question yesterday. Just use a razor blade around the base of the screw if they're painted over and gently rotate out the screws with a good pair of needle-nosed pliers.
February 18th, 2011 at 10:27 PM ^
You're getting a winged helmet with a bar in it? Those who stay will be champions AND can order DRINKS?!
And you want to REMOVE the BAR?!
All of this in a Friday night drinking thread??
Enjoy the helmet, order a drink or two and brag that you've been to the bar in the helmet with wings...

I've gone from a Dogfish Head 90 to a Dogfish 60 to a Great Lakes Brewery "Conway's Irish Ale".
Good night for drinking.

So wait, are you at home, or is the rink considered "home" in Canada? I knew you guys were serious about hockey and all, but shit.
February 18th, 2011 at 9:45 PM ^
& diet tonic.
February 18th, 2011 at 10:22 PM ^
The beef man is my favorite too. I'm not big on the piney stuff.

February 18th, 2011 at 9:49 PM ^
maybe if you say it twice you'll remember.....
February 18th, 2011 at 9:51 PM ^
The only thing he's going to remember is not to pass out in a public place unless he wants photos of the harriest guy at the party rubbing his butt all over his face to show up on facebook again.
February 18th, 2011 at 9:57 PM ^
Hey Im in college my bros have my back
February 18th, 2011 at 10:07 PM ^
Worse yet, he might start posting on MGoBoard. The drunks are funny but sometimes they go nuclear and it gets crazy in a couple of threads at the same time. The worst thing is when some guy decides to start responding to every post in the thread and he takes up all the space on the screen.
Also, it's hairiest not "harriest."
February 18th, 2011 at 10:11 PM ^
This drinking thread is way better than the other one.
Sam Adams and Blue Moon.
February 18th, 2011 at 10:12 PM ^
I know exactly what you mean. Isn't that horribly annoying! I hope none of those guys show up in here.
In other news, it's a forum on friday night, and you can blow it out your ass.
February 18th, 2011 at 10:14 PM ^
I'm just chilling out with the gang. No snark buddy.
February 18th, 2011 at 10:16 PM ^
This is a drinking thread. It's possible I may have had too much.
Good times.
February 18th, 2011 at 10:21 PM ^
Damn right.
February 19th, 2011 at 2:03 AM ^
So your pretty much the worst thing then? You know, since you pretty much respond to every post in the thread. It's all good though, your good peoples.
February 18th, 2011 at 10:30 PM ^
Laproaig 1/4 Cask. Nothing but Islay Scotch.
February 18th, 2011 at 10:31 PM ^
I'm going to a beer store here in VA tomorrow that is supposed to carry hundreds of beers from around the nation. I'm getting some Bell's and some other Michigan beer if I can find it, and some other favorites if I see 'em. I do want to try new beers, but it can be hard to choose.
So, anyone have a favorite I should look for?
February 18th, 2011 at 10:39 PM ^
Best MI brew I've had. If you can find it it's definitely worth buying a jug or two.
February 18th, 2011 at 10:46 PM ^
It looks like they only distribute to Michigan and Wisconsin, not down my way. I guess you're just gonna have to ship me some.
February 18th, 2011 at 11:08 PM ^
if they have it
February 18th, 2011 at 11:34 PM ^
we should hang out more often
February 19th, 2011 at 12:08 AM ^
everyone like's Guinness but i'll take the pepsi challenge with Wexford any day of the week.
February 19th, 2011 at 12:40 AM ^
such a great beer!
February 19th, 2011 at 5:27 AM ^

Not sure what I'm drinking yet, but I'm headed to the Blue Lep with some friends to celebrate the Hockey win.
UPDATE: Ended up at Ashley's (a much better choice than Blue Lep), had some Viking Blod mead, Anchor Steam and a few double cream stouts. Wound up at a friend's place drinking PBR and playing Bitch Cup. A good night, I'd say.
February 18th, 2011 at 10:52 PM ^
I'm celebrating the hockey victory with a crown royal manhattan. Hoke was right behind me for the game tonight. He's a large man.
February 18th, 2011 at 10:57 PM ^
I'm washing the taste out with a Guinness Extra Stout.
February 18th, 2011 at 11:12 PM ^
its another fifth of soco with Doctor Pepper night with the roommate
February 18th, 2011 at 11:29 PM ^
I only drink Soco during football season. It's the nectar of the gods.

I love these "Whatcha Drinkin'" threads!! Makes me start googlin'!! My goal is to try every beer ever....in one night. The more I drink...the closer I think I get to my goal!!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:46 PM ^
I drank several different Merlot wines from 8 leftover bottles (mostly half filled) from a Merlot tasting my wife held yesterday!
February 18th, 2011 at 11:57 PM ^
A plus one to you guys!!
Thank you all!! And yes, i plan on wearing it while driving down here in SEC country. I will have to go to a Georgia and Florida bar while wearing the helmet!!
GO BLUE!!
February 19th, 2011 at 12:44 AM ^
Drinking an Ithaca Beer Company variety sampler. It's...really hit and miss. The Nut Brown and Cascazilla are awesome. The Apricot Wheat and Cold Front? Awful.
February 19th, 2011 at 1:44 AM ^
And picked up some Bell's White Winter Ale
February 19th, 2011 at 2:11 AM ^
Thank the budget this is only available for very short period and I don't like it that much. I love Bell's and hopsy brew (in general), but Hopslam is a little over the top for me. When I paid $17 for a sixer, I was torn between wanting to love it and wanting to hate it. It turns out I am abivalent, leaning towards too hopsy. Admittedly, I haven't yet tried it on tap. I have tried to brave the long wait for a table at Slowes a few times and to convince the wife to drag the family to Ashley's for dinner a few time recently (both attempts unsucccessful - Slowes food awesome - Ashleys - not so much) . I am really jonesing for Dale's Pale Ale. I can't find this anywhere local Northville area, but had it last summer while visiting friend in Milwaukee.

A little Grant's Scotch on ice, though darn the bad luck having to drive 15 miles to the only store in the area that carries it, just have to keep stocked...

You are a warrior.
