Just enjoyed a few different ales at one of the local pubs, Vermont Pub and Brewery. The first two were Magnum P.A., a Pale Ale using Magnum, Citra and Cascade hops. I'm not much of a hop fan, but this is a nice blend. Then I had a Tulach Leis, funny thing, a Celtic name, but it's a Belgian style sour. Good beer, but after the P.A. it tastes a lot like SweetTarts Candy.
Now that I am home, I'm enjoying a Sandeman's Porto.
Peace,
Dave

And tonight I indulge myself in a couple of bottle of St. Pauli Girl, then follow that with a collaboration between Green Flash, Pizza Port Carsbad and Stone Brewing; the Highway 78 Scotch Ale. The h'way 78 is quite a pleasant Scotch Ale. To those who like the style, HIGHLY recommended. After that, a glass of Sandemans again (the last of it). And now an oversize of Baren Jager (please pardon the lack of Ummlats).
Peace,

Are you guys drinking much, much more than say a few months ago ?
Nope, just remembering it this time!
Peace,
Dave
Hmm.........
We'll have to stop when we can't recognise what we are drinking ...or hearing......I'm assuming that music plays a large part in these festivities.
Sometimes, yes, other times, the indulgence is a solitary thing. I find that if I do too many things I enjoy passionately at once, I lose the real excitement of all of them. So I try to temper each, and blend properly!
Peace and enjoy,
Dave

my father in law got me into this, I would call it an acquired taste.

With us, it's a bottle of wine with dinner most nights. Been doing that for many years. Drunken saturnalia is not really part of it. Music, sure. That's why bands play in bars.
Why buy wine when you can just make your own? Or just drink up the inventory right out of the barrel.

And your hangover is finally gone today
Been mostly sparkling water for me lately, gave up the sauce for lent, but thinking about treating myself to a bottle of Glenmorangie 18 after easter.
I'm not a "beer snob", nor a fruit-in-my-beer type, but I tried Shiner Ruby Redbird last night. The grapefruit flavor and ginger actually matches and balances well with the hops. I was pleasantly surprised. Shiner Ruby Redbird is the new limited edition summer brew from Jimmy Mauric and the Spoetzl Brewery.
At this very moment? Well, that would be some Big House Red box wine from California. Used to buy bottles but this is the new economy where frugality is the new "hip". Drinking threads on various discussion boards can be entertaining or depressing depending on your point of view. Mine is steadfastly cheerful.............Skoal!!!!!!!
