What are you Drinking ?

[mortlock]

that shiner bock looks real good but its not better that the genny bock. genny bock is the best bock on the planet.
BAR NONE.

[mortlock]

the shiner is a speck too dark in Carmel. thats where it fails. you want the stained glass effect.

[Muffin Man]

wtf is with that kooky can? but yeah, stick with plan A. I need to get a grip of taht Genny. Had a party tonite, one of the VIPs drinks Coors Light so I bought a suitcase. $1/can. I thougt it would be 50cents.  I'm a hop head but that beer is serviceable too. Either that or I'm fried in the cabeza. I went back IPA after one can. But I have light on hand for the guests. All good.

[mortlock]

im not sure if i posted this before but a local micro brewery and rubinos, which is the greatest mom and pop italian food store in the world based in rochester, team up for this beer/cream ale. ive never tried it but someone told me it was real sweet.

Well, cannoli.

Mmmmmmmimosas. Yummm.

Many years ago my ex and I would walk up to the shitty tavern by the house and guzzle pint glass cheap mimosas and barely be able to walk back. Good times. And bad times.

My neighbor friends have a friend who is head of food and beverage at a huge venue. They have a huge surplus of beer and other stuff they can't sell next season so.....



The overage is apparently like $70k. Weird. There's like a semi truck load. Lots of free beer in my future if I want. Nothing really great though.

[mortlock]

snag me the modelos.

[Pissy]

If it was a venue, they'd end up using that as the freebies for the bands. 

We had Miller as a customer and they sent us pallets of beer we could use as test loads.  Once we were finished, they said they couldn't take them back.   It was fair game for the office.  They were the large 36ct bricks too.  The Miller Lite went first, then the high life, the Milwaukee's best was the last to go. I snagged four of those bricks of high life for one of my fishing trips, gave two to Sparklemotion.  It was enough for a week at the beach at roughly 12 per day.

[RAGER]

They can't though. Must be liquor laws here or contract stuff. Anything left in the spring will be pitched.

The question is can we all drink $70k worth of shit beer this winter? 

This is an 18,000 seat amphitheater.

[Muffin Man]

easily


haha. but I bet those cans were sitting in a trailer and well-broiled through the Summer. I might try to find a pig farmer and trade for some whole roasters. if that works, I mean feeding pigs beer. If not, then goats.

ps. Lagunitas IPA bottled. Been a few years. It's really different. Tends towards sweet but its so well balanced. Nice lacing, just a little and just enough to let you know you have a fairly serious beer in hand. Not stuffy serious, but mature and composed.

[RAGER]

Being a regular has its advantages but then shit like this happens and so I just kept quiet about it.

[RAGER]

Haven't been drinking much lately but I did last night. Eeesh. Feeling it today so...Christmas jazz and morning mimosas! 

[RAGER]

@pissy @sparklemotion

[Pissy]

Beautiful.

[Muffin Man]

those look amazing.
inspired by those, i'd really go for a couple blended banana dacquiri right now in the same glassware

[RAGER]

Nice IPA yesterday. Back to work today.

[Pissy]

I know where that is. 

[RAGER]

Finally a brett IPA. Funky and fruity.

[Muffin Man]

might take me a minute to find some fresh Brett. Until then, some dank hemp:




...it's okay not bad but they* have some killer* "flavored" beers; chocolate(s), ciders. All their beers that I've had are easily mid-high to high quality.
*Kettlehouse, on the river from "A River Runs Through It".

[RAGER]

Never heard of them. I'll keep an eye out.

[Muffin Man]

I was at their taphouse. Next door is an ampitheater- I was looking at Ziggy and, Primus until I ran into a ton of fees at checkout. /shrugs
The taphouse manager said, that morning, an eagle swooped into the river grabbed a trout then swatted away an osprey away that tried to steal it. There's mountain goats, those crazy ones that walk up and down cliffs but they weren't out at the time.

Oh you're out that way?  Never spent much time in Montana. If I got in the car right this second I could be in Bonner by 3 pm. Looks like Bonner is an old mill town (lumber of course) and the amphitheater is built n the wasteland of the mill and yard maybe.
