Re: Official Drinking Thread Pt 5: Four Horsemen + Jerry: It's called The Voltron!
I have absolutely no idea what brand of whiskey I drank at a wedding reception last night, but it was pretty good. Supposedly it was local to Traverse City, along with all the other wine, beer, and liquor behind the bar.

Grand Traverse Distillery just released their first whiskey. But I thought you could only get it on site.

Baltika Extra Lager Grade 9 = Awesome
It brings back fuzzy memories.

I really need to start investigating and see if I can find that up this way...

Ethnic European grocery stores. If you go to the F5 next year, I will be sure to bring extra. I am working on getting the beer at wholesale because I work with the owner's wife. As Sconie represents, it will be free of charge. Selected customers only per my approval. You cool, so you are already approved.

Slap Shot
I got nothing
Newcastle Summer - ok, nothing new
Geary London Porter - very good
O'dell 90 Schilling - ok
Dark Horse Cream Stout - outstanding

I am starting my 2nd bottle of Baltika beer of the night. Zhiguljovskoje is the name of the beer that I am drinking now. I finished the No. 9 earlier this evening. I am officially in Wisconsin mode per usual.

Thanks. It's not an if--we'll be at the F5 again. Now that I think about it, I was on Brent's Baltika list this year but never got mine. Oh well.
And there's not much of anything distinctly ethnic up here. Oh well. I'll have to settle for KBC and the like...

You live where? If extremes, I could drive up to Appleton/Green Bay. I could always use an excuse to drive up and drink at Dr. Jekell's in Appleton. I you end up in the Twin Cities at the end of this month, I could have Mr. wore Black drop off some stuff at Brent's and I will make sure it gets to you.

The UP. (Marquette, to be specific.)
Flashy and I are hoping to make it to the TC's sometime this summer, though.

Like I said, get there at the end of the month, and I will have a stash for you. Mr. wore Black will be there for just over a week. Then he has to come back to Milwaukee to see Rush at Summerfest. Otherwise, you have to wait until October before I come back up there. I will be in St. Cloud for the SCSU/Miami series in October. Note: it will be for the Friday game only. Bonfire at Mr. wore Black's parents' house on Saturday.

I liked the Odell 90 Shilling. It was as enjoyable as its namesake's osprey-infested lake.
Seriously, it wasn't bad for an amber ale. It's not going to have the rich complexities of a good porter or stout, but is a solid, drinkable beer. I got it on sale since it's new in Minnesota, so I don't know if I'd buy it regularly, but it was worth a try.

Yeah, I know.
It's OK, it's not like I'll never see you again. FM and I were talking about possibly going to Irish Fest this year, or there's MN/Tech weekend.
diva: you weren't around that much to get the Baltika.
But, I know I still owe you a sixer of Finnegan's and a Baltika.

As much as I love Baltika, the gut rot is not. At least it is better than the PBR gut rot.

Re: Official Drinking Thread Pt 5: Four Horsemen + Jerry: It's called The Voltron!
Agreed. It tastes better than pretty much all of its malt liquor kin, but the rotgut after overindulgence is almost as bad. It's just so high in sugar and cheap fusel alcohols that I don't think one can entirely avoid it no matter how much water you chug before bed. I haven't had any in awhile for this reason, despite the fact that I can get the ghetto classy 51 ouncer for three bucks.

So we had a grill out last night and I ask my buddy if I can bring any booze to the party (like always) and he says they have too much as it is. Unless i can find Nordeast.
First place I go to (which happens to be the store closest to my house) just got in a pallet the previous day. The lady helping me proceeds to give me the 12-pack price on a pair of six-packs since they were out of the 12-packs. It was awesome.
