Re: Official Drinking Thread: 7&7s for Everyone!

I found that Duvel has a gift set, too. Comes with 1 brandy-snifter-type glass. Of course I bought it. :D
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: 7&7s for Everyone!

Tried the New Belgium Frambozen last night. It's a raspberry brown ale. Quite tasty, and the fruit taste is far from overpowering. It's done right.

Arcadia Ales Barrel Aged Shipwreck Porter

This is the first bourbon barrel-aged beer I've had that has a strong and distinctive bourbon flavor. Definitely worth a try if you find it, but be prepared to spend. It was $7.50 for one 12 oz. bottle, but I bought it as a birthday present to myself/pity present for Tech's loss tonight.

Try the Summit Winter Ale. It's solid (malty, not over-hoppy like most Summits, good flavor and mouthfeel, maybe a hint of spice.)
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: 7&7s for Everyone!

Winter Ale is pretty decent. It's a run of the mill winter ale IMHO. Worth trying.
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: 7&7s for Everyone!

For the weekend picked up Tallgrass IPA, 21st Amendment Live Free or Die, Schell's Bock and Duvel Belgian Golden.
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: 7&7s for Everyone!

Had Left Hand Milk Stout (excellent as always) and Rush River Lyndale Brown (would have been better if I were a hops fan) tonight.

Meh on Tallgrass, lemme know about 21st, Schell's is awesome, and Duvel is awesomer.
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: 7&7s for Everyone!

Agree on the Tallgrass, although it's not terrible for the price at Sid's. The 21st is awesome. Not overpowing at all and a very solid, drinkable IPA.

BTW, did you go with the Duvel gift pack with the glass? If not, then fail!
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: 7&7s for Everyone!

The bar we found for NYE made a damm good Bourbon Old Fashioned. So I drank Maker's Old Fashioned all night...so effing tasty.
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: 7&7s for Everyone!

Somehow found myself out of whiskey last night :eek: Don't know how that happened. Only thing in the house was Amaretto. For those of you still unsure at this point, let the record show that:

Amaretto < whiskey

:(:mad:
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: 7&7s for Everyone!

Stop the presses! Found half a bottle of Beefeater hidden way in the back. Now I'm enjoying a real drink before dinner tonight, instead of Amaretto and whatever.

Amaretto/vodka on the rocks is good. Also amaretto and coffee.
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: 7&7s for Everyone!

If the Amaretto is Disaronno, it isn't that bad. It isn't as good as a good whiskey, but its not a bad liquor.
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: 7&7s for Everyone!

Tried a couple of interesting beers over the holidays.

Peeper Ale - Maine Brewing Company. Excellent small batch American Pale Ale. Rated as exceptional (92) by Beer Advocate. Enjoyed this one a lot.

Iron Mike Pale Ale - Moat Mtn. Brew (NH) - 24oz can ("everybody likes a big can!") I could see having more than a few of these on a hot summer day.

Wells Banana Bread Beer (had this at the British Beer Company in Franklin MA). Hmmm, interesting. Strong banana bread aroma, and you can certainly taste it. A one and done (wouldn't order it again)

Had a couple from a Sam Adams variety pack. Loved the "Black and Brew" coffee stout, thought the Chocolate Bock was pretty good, but the Holiday Porter didn't work for me.

Found a great little store in Fryeburg ME, "The Good Beer Store" (isn't "good beer" redundant for the most part? ) Great selection, owner's were very nice. Right on Rt 302 at the ME-NH state line.

I thought the Black & Brew was spectacular.
