Re: What?? Are you drinking?
Just bought a 6 of Maudite last week - i'm not much of a beer drinker but Unibroue Belgians have been my go-to for years.

Love those TJ-broues. Oddly enough at altitude I haven't had too bad of corksplosions.

Re: What?? Are you drinking?
Yeah, completely agree. Trois Pistoles was my favorite, but it's been many years. Need to revisit. I think TJs had a sampler pack for dirt cheap, Trois Pistoles, Maudite and La Fin du Monde.Pruitt wrote: ↑Fri Nov 27, 2020 3:03 pmI have yet to try anything from Unibroue that was less than really good.The Sybian wrote: ↑Thu Nov 26, 2020 11:37 pm I decided I need to get back into drinking more Belgian style beers.

Opening a 2017 tonight. (After a Avery sour from 2014 that I forgot I had.)
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

And I had an Avery sour (2017 Amiticia) Friday night. Aged in Cabernet barrels. Absolutely amazing beer. Wine and oak really came through,

Anyone got something for Drambuie. Bit sweet on its own but other brown liquor long gone from the cabinet. Like March again trying to isolate.
Re: What?? Are you drinking?
Answer is ice. Lots. Thanks. Carry on.

My delayed-by-shipping Christmas gift from my brother turned out to be a bottle of Oban Distiller's Edition. Never had even the standard version before, so I feel like I need to do something ceremonial before drinking.

Did Drynuary also and think I'm gonna wait until Friday to celebrate it with a Focal Banger that's sitting in a friend's fridge.
Re: What?? Are you drinking?
Bought a bottle of Havana Club rum and a couple of Cohibas over the weekend because fuck America though haven't got a chance to dip into either yet.

Re: What?? Are you drinking?
Had Heady and FB once, one the same night, and was pretty drunk before that, but I think I liked FB more.

Re: What?? Are you drinking?
This is the correct answer. Heady got all the hype and fame, but everyone I've ever discussed it with prefers FB.

Re: What?? Are you drinking?
A halfway decent vodka with a San pelligrino citrus tonic is a nice nightcap.
My gall is sufficiently mitigated. Thank you for your concern.

Re: What?? Are you drinking?
Next time you're out here, Syb. They sell it at my local grocery store (as well as the other Russian River beers). One thing I respect is that if a bottle sits on the shelf for a month, they are under orders to send it back (one never sits for a month, though.)The Sybian wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 11:07 amHave yet to try either.Rush2112 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 11:00 amSame with Pliny.

Re: What?? Are you drinking?
I drank the Focal Banger and enjoyed it immensely then went to a bar with some friends and saw a girl I knew at another table so got up to say hi and instantly the bar owner jumped on me with "Maybe you're not aware there's a global pandemic..." and then went on to blame the 400k deaths and the fact that he could barely keep his 20 employs on "people like me" and I was like "dude, all you gotta do is ask me to sit back down" and he was all like "you're telling ME how to run MY bar" and had already decided at that point that I was never going back there so pointed to a few other people that were clearly away from their tables and observed that "maybe they also don't know there's a global pandemic" at which point he booted me. Anyway, I take omens for what they are and am now into Dry-rebruary.
Re: What?? Are you drinking?
I suppose. But, I was talking to the guy who runs our local small brewery, and he says he's selling tons of Crowlers and 12 oz. cans.

Re: What?? Are you drinking?
Yeah but you have to figure those go at lower margin than pints in house and growler fills, right?
(And I was just rewording what the bar owner yelled at him.)

i just made a Crown and Canada Dry, which I don’t think I’ve ever done before. Why isn’t there a name for this?

Let me just tell you. Switching whiskey for beer is not really a sacrifice.
My gall is sufficiently mitigated. Thank you for your concern.
