  • Re: Drinking Thread: Three Sheets To The Wind

    On a stop on the way home to get Dogfish Head's Suddenly Comfy (think: apple pie), there it was...a bottle of Sam Adams' Utopias. Pulled the trigger on it. Have had it before, decided this year if I happened to see it, I'd buy it to finally have a bottle of my own.
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

      Have never had it, but obviously heard of it. Worth sacrificing some stout seasons for, understandably.

        It really tastes like cognac/similar. There have been Old Chicago events, where $15 gets you 2oz and a regular Sam Adams pint, limited to World Beer Tour members, and only 12 members at that...

        If you can find something like that, perfect. The other times I've had it was at bottle shares. Yes, that is how some of the bottle shares I attend roll. You bring the good stuff.

          This is exactly how it sounds. I would guess about 1% of us find it delicious. The rest of you, I pity.

              What I wouldn't do for some Goose Island Bourbon County Stout.

              Or Surly Smoke.

              Or the dozens of new offerings created since moving here...

                Had Trader Joe's Platinum Reserve Cabernet last night. Holy moly. That's a great bottle of wine at $15. Even not considering the price, that's one of the best cabs I've had. (Though, I don't drink many above $30)

                  I don't even know if they make Smoke anymore. Hammerheart in Lino Lakes, I think you would like. They smoke 90% of their beers, no matter what style.

                  And there MUCH better limited stouts than BCS, and I'm not just saying that (and yes, I hope to get some BCS again this year).

                    I'm torn. I'm actually off for Black Wednesday/Friday for the first time since 2008 and I have no idea what to pursue for beer this weekend. Opportunity overload

                    Local BBQ place is offering some interesting flights today:

                    REVOLUTION Brewing
                    - 2019 V.S.O.R.
                    - 2017 V.S.O.D.
                    - 2018 Double Barrel V.S.O.D.
                    - 2019 Cafe Deth

                    "Vintage" Flight
                    - 2018 Greenbush Delusion
                    - 2017 BA Surly Darkness
                    - 2017 Bourbon County Stout
                    - 2017 Sierra Nevada Vintage Bigfoot

                    Both of those sound very interesting to me. Seems kinda strange to be looking forward to beer at 2pm on a Wed., but hey, it's Barrel Aged season .

                    Don't have a clue what I want to pursue on Friday, especially if I can get my Revolution fix today. Hailstorm Brewing has some interesting stuff on tap for Saturday so might check that out. Like a kid in a candy store
                    It's never too early to start the Pre-game festivities

                      Yuengling may be as-shats but their Chocolate Porter with Hersheys is delicious.

                      Also a very spiffy collectibles glass.

                          When I was there cops in Boston called it "Drunksgiving" and hated it because it was so dangerous to even pull people over because another drunk would probably veer at you while you were ticketing. I mean, Boston cops basically hate everybody (they have to deal with Bostonians all year long) but around the holidays they all turned into Louie De Palma. In December they would treat white people like they treated black people!

                            Revolution anything is awesome.

                            The 2017 BA Darkness is saved by the BA part. That year was missing something in the base. Even then, it is a subpar Darkness version. I dunno about the others.

                            I will try to get BCBS/Variants, but won't have an opportunity until about 6pm, due to work. If I miss out, I'm not going to be sad. They're a'ight, but nothing to fret about.

                              If you ever find yourself in Colorado, never, and I mean NEVER, buy Elevate vodka from Mile High Spirits.

                              I bought one with a chip in the neck and Clint Malarchuk'd my thumb getting it open.

                              ETA: Wasn't a chip actually - it had one of those plastic top corks with a little ridge in the glass for a tab to pull the cork up, I tried to twist the top to get the cork moving and caught the ridge (which was seriously knife sharp) and registered 0.5 Muta.
