Applaud. That was a feat that was unintended and not sought after. It just happened.

Last night at the restaurant, I was drinking half and half. Half Guinness and half Harps. The taste of Guinness with the lightness of Harps. Great combination. I had 4.

Other than white wine, what pairs well with fish?

Most wheat beers, due to their citrus flavors and lightness.

V&Ts (or vodka on the rocks, if you're so inclined) with a squeeze of lime would probably work too. Generally, just avoid things that are heavy/overpowering, unless you're eating a particularly strong fish.

I found a bottle of Elmer T. Lee bourbon up here in Grand Forks. I had tried it at a bar in Indiana before, but hadn't seen it in a liquor store, so I had to buy it. Very nice bourbon.

Also bought a handle of Seagrams and a bottle of American Honey. Promptly drank the bottle of Honey as soon as possible, like I usually do. It was gone by about 10 last night. Good thing I had alot of Seagrams and my buddy had 15 cases of beer.

Missed this; I had whitefish, and I did have a small glass of white wine. Next time, I'll try wheat beer.

As I've noted before, I'm not the biggest fan of Bell's Oberon, but it's super easy to find in this state. I think it would work pretty well with whitefish or a similar mild fish. I also recommend Hoegaarden for seafood, but that will probably be a little more expensive, with it being an import.

con1977 and friend took me around DT Madison tonight.

Started off with a Spotted Cow, as the only other beer I haven't had (something Hopalicious sounded too hoppy for my mood) was the only other option (per my guidelines of trying new beers/can't get locally beers while on vacation).

Next up was Skullsplitter Okenay Scottish Ale which was friggin' awesome. Served in a brandy snifter, and definitely a sipper beer. Highly recommend.

Third, was a Great Dane Black Porter (unsure of the "Black" part of the name). Good, but the Black Butte Porter is a little better, because of a more subtle taste.

We finished off the night with a boot of Franziskaner Dunkel Weiss. We all have had it before, but they were Boot Virgins, and we all wanted a good finishing beer. And this worked wonders.

Solve...

Rolling Rock + Miller Lite + Wii = A good night to sit inside with central air + a screaming match at the Wii because you can't get the sensor to cooperate with you.

Went to a bar last night that gave me more Jack than Coke; definitely going back to that bar before the summer ends. Usually, when I order a Jack and Coke, it's 95% Coke, and as a result, it tastes awful.

Friend just gave me the recipe for a bomb he invented this past weekend, which he dubbed "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"

It's a bomb where you have 1/3 a pint of a Canadian beer that you drop a 50/50 shot of Rumple Minze 100 proof Peppermint Schnapps and Canadian Club whiskey into. It goes down relatively smooth, but once it hits your stomach, you'd better be able to weather the storm.

It sounds awful.

Hendricks' Gin is dangerously good. Seriously, this just kicked Sapphire to the curb and poured it down the storm sewer.

A whole fifth is a little too rich for my blood though.

I wish it was hockey season already. I am drinking Molson Golden.

Besides, Gordon Lightfoot is a Jack man. :p

This. There are some nights when I prefer a juniper-style gin, but Hendricks is awesome for the hot weather cooling drink, either in martini or in GT form.


As for me, I'm having a Redhook Rope Swing "summer pilsner" for my after-dinner beer. Pretty good, it seems to have more body than most pilseners and a somewhat more mild taste, with a hint more alcohol than your standard lawnmower beer.

Oh yeah, I like my liquid pine needles too, but I like how the cukes gave Hendricks a fresh taste without all the pine and citrus. It's also ridiculously smooth.

Snob :D ;)
