what are you drinking tonight?

[Wagstaff]

a Chimay blue (need the cork for de-burring!), + a Samuel Smith dry cider.

 

[Cipcich]

They make some killer brandies and grappa though. Really hard to find on this coast. Them and Clear Creek do some really nice, exciting stuff.

Funny about the capitalist diatribe, considering they make Hangar One, which is the only reason they can stay in business and do what they do.

I took another look. There is really no printing on the cork. That was meant as self-deprecating humor, given my propensity to get political when I get drunk . . .

ah, the excuses we come up with

Didn't make it to the beer store but went to the supermarket - and forgot to pick up booze. :slaphead: So, it will be a bottle or two of Kona Longboard Lager tonight. Gotta stay fit for the coffee and chocolate tasting in the morning.

Four vines 2009 Biker & Sam Smiths Raspberry beer

I would like to submit my formal protest against using the words 'raspberry' and 'beer' in one phrase. Let alone in one beverage.

You are German so I won't contest your beer pedigree. :wink:

But some of the fruit beers make for a fine after dinner drink.

Samuel Smiths is an outstanding brewery.
They make one of the best sweet oatmeal stouts about.

Sadly, I've had To tap into the 3L box of Pinot Evil I bought for cooking.

Something called "Pumpkin Ale" by Buffalo Bill's Brewery.


Bleech... thin, hurried, and lacks any character whatsoever.
If Bartles and James made a pumpkin ale this would be it. :scared4:


Disclaimer: Wifey picked it up, god love her.

Viognier. There was some crazy sale where they marked a bottle down to $1.99, so I bought a case. The resident sommelier said it was still drinking well and opened a bottle for me to try. It was fine at room temp and even better chilled. And for $2 it was really good.
