rocksniffer Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 i have decided grey goose is really the nectar of Aphrodite's left teet...you can drink it by the liter and not be hungover...only a beautiful goddess could be so kind... I feel a rare cold coming on so I am stickibg with the grog, which is rich in nutrients like vitamin C. No scurvy up in House Larry on my watch. hey brother it sucks to be sick...though a little "C" rich grog is never a bad choice... ...and always remember something i learned in the navy, if you need to suck your lemon quota to prevent the scourge of scurvy, use tequila to break up the monotony... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercenaryChef Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 went to a pretty fun beer fest with our pals the x's and my mate from work. we were in the gates quickly and still the barrel aged perennial abraxus was kicked in ten minutes or so. the cantillon keg was cracked so missed that one as well. kair was after the canadian breakfast stout, but it too kicked quickly. it was all in all an awesome time. we drank some fantastic beers. as we have pieced things together it looks like i had 25+ beers.

Xray the Enforcer Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 We are still piecing the afternoon together. All I can say is this: whoever brewed that beer that tasted like nuoc cham should be tarred, feathered, and exiled to Siberia. The Sunny D-lite beer was also pretty fucking gross.

mcbigski Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Drinking a better red than I should after watching football all afternoon, but I polished off all of the mediocre stuff already. (for my definitions of wine quality it's about a $20 bottle retail.) We have a fun thing at work right now. Each chef is paired with a bartender to collaborate on a cocktail. Initially I made a cascade hop and grapefruit bitters I imagined going with gin. My bartender made a apple infused whisky. I have now made a sherry vinegar and maplease syrup shrub infused with ginger. Not sure where we are going but it will n be good I think. As a point of information, where is your restaurant? We are still piecing the afternoon together. All I can say is this: whoever brewed that beer that tasted like nuoc cham should be tarred, feathered, and exiled to Siberia. The Sunny D-lite beer was also pretty fucking gross. If that was patterned after the Sunny Delight orangish syrupy kids beverage, I wouldn't be surprised.

Xray the Enforcer Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Pretty sure it wasn't deliberate -- the beer just ended up this horrible neon orange color, and it tasted like a mix of beer, orange juice, and a shot of habanero-infused well vodka. Terrible, all around. But still not as gross as the aforementioned fish sauce beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isis Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Someone did give me a sample of some sort of Portsmouth to Portland microbrew made with lobstah yesterday. If offered to you, pass. The Yeastie Boys brewed a Whitebait beer recently. Can't recall what style but...not feeling it really. I had some hop distillates yesterday. They were pretty good. I tried Citra (works, obviously), Sorachi (absolutely superb!!), Pacific Gem (pretty solid, I'd give it third place), Motueka (which the server INSISTED on shoving an orange wedge into before they could be stopped - so who knows what that was like but I'm gonna say 'ok'), and Phoenix (a British hop which I'm going to say was stale before they distilled it as it smelled funky like old vegetables). Anyway, I want a whole bottle of the Sorachi one - you can easily drink it neat or with the smallest splash of tonic. Yum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Someone did give me a sample of some sort of Portsmouth to Portland microbrew made with lobstah yesterday. If offered to you, pass. Yeah, this trend of making beer with seafood is bullshit and will hopefully die soon. Any brewer who actually makes that shit should cut off their hands and feed them to the sharks. And, yes, I think oyster stouts are bullshit too.

aceluby Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Started the weekend on Thursday this last week and brought a 15 pack of All Day IPA's, a 6 pack of Summit, a .75 of Jag, a liter of fireball, and a .75 of Bellvenie Double Barrel scotch.... made it to Saturday before running out, though in my defense there was a lot of sharing happening. I'm officially on day two of this hangover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard from someone I trust that the Ducato collaboration brew with some Maine brewer was actually very good, but I haven't tried it myself.

Hoppy Hour Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Once again I need your help. Any thoughts on Gosnells London Mead? I might get a hold of a case, but I never tried it and I'd love to know if it's any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isis Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Yes, I do actually. A friend of a friend who works at East London Brewing brought some of this to a barbecue last month and persuaded us all to try it. I was hesitant as I dislike sweet, sickly drinks. But it was actually really nice, not sickly at all and it was actually quite dry. In fact, I bet it blends well with all kinds of stuff. Then a stranger was making noises about mead in our local bottle shop on Saturday so I steered her toward this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
