Yeah, another part of it was the fact that I was going to pick up a bottle of Booker's on the way to the game to enjoy after. I was running very late and made it to the game with only about 15 minutes to spare.

Rookie.

Yup - you always keep the emergency stash, whether it's that beer you only tolerate, or simply a bottle of liquor with ice in the freezer. :cool:

EDIT: Ah. Well, at least you have good taste in liquor, even if you can't taste it right now. :o

Exactly! I have a mini fridge that is constantly filled with beer or liquor. During the winter I stock double because of the cold temps outside. Every Friday, I stop at the liquor store on my way home from work to stock up for the weekend. Usually on Saturday, I have to go out and buy more plus a case of Miller Lite for emergencies during the week.

The other half is the beer issue. I have nothing cold right now.

Imperial Bock? I'm guessing it's high in alcohol and could handle 30-45 minutes in the freezer, which would solve this dilemma.

9.5 ABV. It probably could, but I'd rather cool it down slowly. It'll be here for tomorrow's game.
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: I'm Having A 6-Pack Attack!: Part The Sixth

Yeah, I regularly stick beers that are 6+ in the freezer. As long as I retrieve them after a half hour, they're always cold and not frozen or even slushy. Sometimes, they even have to sit out for a bit if it's a big, heavy beer that should be served a little warmer.
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: I'm Having A 6-Pack Attack!: Part The Sixth

Fill bucket with ice and water. Insert bottle. Spin/rotate bottle in a rather fast fashion. Voila! And it doesn't shake up the beer.

If I buy beer warm, no matter the ABV, you can put it in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes, to get the chilling process started, then transfer to the fridge. After about 10-20 minutes, boom, cold beer.

Good way to start off the weekend.

It's kinda crappy this year, and frankly all this year's seasonal brews have been total let-downs too.


Too bad :(
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: I'm Having A 6-Pack Attack!: Part The Sixth

Agree on the SA Octoberfest. It's alright, but not particularly noteworthy. There should definitely be better options, just look around your area.

Trying a local brew this afternoon - Rochester Mills "Cornerstone" IPA; surprisingly good. I grew up about 10 minutes from the brewpub (I live further out now, but still within driving distance) and based on what my old man used to say, I wouldn't have guessed that their beer was this good. Hops. Mmmm...

It's a little pricey, but their six packs are 16 oz. cans. :cool:
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: I'm Having A 6-Pack Attack!: Part The Sixth

The beer has been fridged.

I'm a sam adams shill. This is going to sound stupid but I actually waited until 21 to drink and I knew exactly which beer I was going to have. Always been my go to beer at a bar. Sam Adams Boston Lager.

I really enjoyed their pumpkin ale despite a lot of people hating it. their Oktoberfest was ok. Not great. I'm very, very excited to try their Imperial Double Bock tonight. Especially after reading this.
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: I'm Having A 6-Pack Attack!: Part The Sixth

It might be crass, but I find Genny Light's Chet Hammerton campaign hilarious.
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: I'm Having A 6-Pack Attack!: Part The Sixth

Favorite beers I've had this year:

Bell's Oberon (goes without saying)
Furthermore Knot Stock (brewed with black pepper; has an awesome bite!)
Lakefront Snake Chaser Irish Style Stout
Breckinridge SummerBright Ale
Hoegaarden Original White Ale (this was great on a hot day after performing with my band at a ceremony downtown--light and refreshing and very summery)
Sprecher Pipers Scotch-style Ale
Lakefront Riverwest Stein

One I did not like so much:
New Glarus Brewing Old English Style Porter (it was just too sweet for me).

Right now I have a little Knot Stock and a case of Leinies Honey Weiss in my fridge. Should have tackled it while I was on vacation this week, but I was a little more excited about having Jameson to drink. ;)

Drunk after watching the UW/Gopher s***fest.





About ready to head back out. Awesome.

Have only had it on tap, but the Summit Oktoberfest is outstanding this year.

Really? I would have expected it to be superhoppy - was it like that or a bit milder?

Had a Schell's Oktoberfest this evening, and it was decent. Big flavor, typically Schell's malty, and almost a fruit aftertaste.

I do believe that Tech's 2-0 start calls for a Baltika night. Gotta enjoy this while it lasts, since we'll be back under .500 within a couple weeks. :D

You could be 5-0-0 with a little luck. Your next 3 games aren't terribly tough.

I believe we will lose to a POed NMU team on Tuesday night, and probably split with Mankato. We always seem to underachieve against the purple Mavs.

After that, @ Wisco and @ UMD...yeah, back under .500 soon enough.
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: I'm Having A 6-Pack Attack!: Part The Sixth

Sam Adams Imperial Double Bock. Good but disappointing. I expected to be blown away. I'd probably be happier if I hadn't put it on a pedestal before trying it. Oh well.
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: I'm Having A 6-Pack Attack!: Part The Sixth

I may be well-trained, but Baltika never lets me down (note: I started at 11:30). ;) :D
