Drinking Thread. Beer, Bourbon, Wine, Scotch, Vodka, Rum, whatever.
Now Drinking: Goose Island's Bourbon County Brand Coffee Stout
Fortunately, this wasn't infected like the others.
Oh wow, will you look at that. Another drinking thread where no one will post in. Fuck.
Well, since I started this thing and still here, I'm now drinking Against the Grain's Bo & Luke, which is a smoked Imperial Stout aged in Bourbon barrels.
To make it more interesting, I'm now listening to this (usually listen to Metal, but ehhhhhhhh):

When you say it wasnt infected are you referring to contamination which caused the beer to taste like shit?
>>23095825
Last week i had one called Nxs Ipa a collaboration from sierra nevada and stone brewing
FUcking Delicious

Well, when someone says a beer is infected, it doesn't mean it tastes like shit.
There have been numerous reports that the latest BCBCS is infected, in that it is sour and tastes horribly. I figure that I'd open up the last remaining bottle I had to see if it was infected (the previous three bottles I owned/opened weren't) and was fortunate that it wasn't. Tasted like a balanced barrel aged stout with a decent amount of coffee to it. IMO, though, it wasn't nearly as good as last year's BCBCS. But, that's neither here nor there.
Some of the batches of BCBCS that have been noted as infected could've been because of the coffee beans not been cleaned all the way. However, there's quite a few reasons as to how the infected bottles could've ended up tasting terrible.

I've seen good things of that collaboration. None of it came to Indiana (where I'm at), though. I'm guessing you live in CA. Lucky duck.

Did you ever manage to get hold of the cider that your sister enjoyed OP?
>>23096238
Wow. I'm legitimately surprised that someone would remember that.
In the end, my brother-in-law (married to my sister) ordered some bottles for her from NY of the cider she/they enjoyed while in England. I might order some myself via onlline later this year before her birthday (in June) as a present. If you were the one who had helped and gave some helpful links, I gratefully appreciate it!
>>23096259
Yeah was me, hence I remember it. Sounds good though. Did you get hold of actual Rekorderlig or did you opt for the Kopparberg?
Hey! Im drinking vodka anyone wanting to chat drunkenly message me its marcusohno on skype
>>23096294
Word. :). I believe my BIL opted for the Rekorderlig and actually got some to give to my sister. I do plan on getting her some Kopparberg as a birthday gift to see how she likes it (which I'm sure she will, if it's like Rekorderlig as you mentioned). Thanks again for the links/advice!
>>23096313
I don't skype, but you should just post in here!
>>23096327
Okay! I will! I am hoping for some company
I will keep this thread alive for the sole purpose that it serves gentlemen
>>23096354
I'll be here, for at least a while (as it's almost 4:40am here).
>>23096371
So you work at night eh chap? Or do you get an early start on your daily depression?
>>23096422
Yeah, I usually work nights, 4pm-12/1am. But, my depression always starts before that. ;)
>>23096440
Oi, i hear ya. Whaddya do?
>>23096479
Currently, I work at a liquor store. Hopefully, I get a call/email from a local brewery I applied at and get the job I wanted there. But, that might be a little while as they told me they're accepting applications through the beginning of January due to the holiday madness in late December.
>>23096494
Good luck to you. Sounds like a dream job if you truly into it. Imma help keeo this thread alive for you too. Drinking central!
>>23096494
I always wanted to work at a liquour stor but no good openings round here
>>23096506
Thanks! I do hope to get into the business, so I appreciate it. You drinking anything right now (I have a feeling you may be somewhere in Europe???)?
>>23096509
Perhaps it's all timing? I suppose it depends on the shop you work at and the location it is in the city. For me, I try to do my best to upkeep the beer selection and have everything neat & organized. Besides that, I hold tastings every Friday of beers we have at store, as well as 1 or 2 I bring in we don't have just as treats to those that come for the tasting. Sometimes it works, most of the time it seems it doesn't. As long as one person comes for it, I feel perfectly content, ya know?
>>23096518
Nah bro im from the Americas, sadly, and ya tastings work well. Cept for the place i frequent. They try to be all hoity toity but no one ever comes down for the wine tadtings they tell me. Its weird. Its a nicerer part of own. But a mile down the street you get better deals
>>23096537
What side of the country are ya, then? West Coast?
Imma go to sleep now since it's 6am and I need some sleep, finally.
Hopefully others will pop up and keep this thread alive. But, knowing the drinking threads I've created in the past, they'll more than likely fade into oblivion within the next 24 hours.
>>23096556
