DRINKING THREAD.
Now Drinking: Mikerphone's Disco Superfly
It's ok. Glad I tried it, but won't be buying again. By the way, excuse the shit filter. Thought it looked better than it did as it went with the whole disco theme. hahaa
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MRcRr8u204
Just a virgin coffee for now. Bottle st remy brandy waiting for me when I get home in like 4 hours. Got beer but it feels like a liquor kind of night.
>>23679745
What kind of Remy? VSOP? White?
Drinking Mikes Harder lemonade. All the arrogant bastard is gone. All the rums gone. All that remains is one Mikes Harder and budweiser.
Super shit tonight.
>>23679771
I'm so sorry for you. At least at one point in time, you had a fun night with all those Arrogant Bastards and such. I'll be sure to pour a little out for you when I open the next beer.
>>23679782
You save that delicious drink for your liver! the sentiment is received though.
You got a favorite beer?
>>23679809
Ok, if you say so...
It's too hard to choose a favorite beer. Though, if I had to choose a favorite style, it'd probably be Imperial Stouts (aged in bourbon barrels) with Sours being right behind.
>>23679759
VSOP. Smooth as hell. After first couple sips, I could drink it like water. Just tastes better.
>>23679827
Breakfast stout is by far my favorite imperial.
>>23679834
Chug the rest of the bottle. lol
>>23679847
Founders' Breakfast Stout? Oh man, I love that stuff! This season alone, I pretty much bought at least 2 cases worth!
>>23679885
I really went ham on it. Then again, I do love me some delicious Sixpoint Resin IPA. Now that ive gone through quite a bit of.
>>23679902
Resin is delicious! I'm sure you're a fan of Hi-Res?
Now Drinking: Odd13's Codename: Superfan
Decent stuff from Colorado.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPXKzHBTSA4
>>23679942
Looks delicious. Naturally Hi-Res is fantastic.
>>23679942
i was drinking this bad boy a few nights ago. Not too bad i must say.
>>23679958
Indeed.
>>23679975
Lol, I was just about to post how the Odd13 beer is a tad hazy, kind of like all of these new "New England IPAs" such as Treehouse, Trillium, and Hoof Hearted.
>>23679980
Haha well is it pretty smooth?
I'd say that treehouse definitely is hazy. My favorite being the Alter Ego.
>>23680000
Somewhat smooth. Has a little bit of a bite from the bitterness, as expected. Just started eating some spicy boneless chicken and my palate isnt the best right now. hahaha
I don't believe I've ever had any Treehouse before.
>>23680034
Well good things then. Hopefully it does deliver some good flavors. Also food sounds exquisite ...
Well unless you have gone to the brewery, only their alter ego and green can be seen. If at all. They sell for a pretty penny. None of the on tap beers are canned though. Tasty stuff though.
>>23680046
Indeed. Took a sip right before I ate anything and it was decent and worth a try at least once.
How about Julius? From the sounds of it, I would guess you live near Treehouse??
>>23680073
I have had it. Its as hoppy as youd expect for such a fruity beer. Honestly it was quite tasty.
I live in Connecticut.
>>23680097
Damn, I'm mad jealous of you. I'm sure you get your fill every week of amazing beers.
Man, if I lived there, I'd go to Vermont all the time for Hill Farmstead, etc. etc.
>>23679942
i ended up drinking like
grey goose with coke
smirnoff with coke
and i had a malibu shot with my roommate's
- pbr girl <3
how are you tonight
>>23680118
This is true! Of course i stay pretty local, but theres so many brewerys here.
Speak your province Imperial Stout man!
>>23680121
That sounds like one hell of a night! Kind of makes me want to drink some bourbon just so I can catch up with you. hahaha
I'm doing ok, I suppose. Got off work a few hours ago and haven't done much since besides drink a little. How about yourself?
>>23680124
I could imagine! I live in Indiana. There's some amazing breweries here that have only started up within the last year or two. I can guarantee you, be on the look out for a brewery called Central State out of here in Indianapolis. Once they start canning/bottling a lot more, everyone is going to know them.
>>23680121
Proper choices! alas, youve made it to the final stretch, but acquire more booze.
>>23680147
I support your bourbon decision. make it happen.
I'll keep an eye out for them though. im always in the mood for more delicious beers.
Can we all do shots? i have one left of rum?
>>23680154
So far, Central State has only canned two things (Gose w/ cranberries & lime and an IPA with Brettanomyces). But, within the next 6-8 months, they'll be in contact with some world class brewers from like Saint Somewhere, Ritterguts, Jolly Pumpkin, Freigeist, etc.
Shots? Ok! But, all I have is bourbon....
>>23680154
i wish i could acquire more booze haha. im prety good now. considering im also sick i shouldnt even be drinking
>>23680147
hahahah you should! do it. why ot
im doing alright <3 for the most part yes. this weekend s ging to be great because of game of thrones
>>23680169
I default to which is your favorite! (That sounds delicious though)
Im game sir, we can do one each and level up!
PBR girl> time to level up.
>>23679719
I'm drinking some sprite right now
>>23680193
hahaha i wish.i cant drink anymore sadly </3
im drunk enough anyway now worriessssss
>>23680181
>Why not
Good point. I don't have to work tomorrow, so I guess I can partake in some shot action tonight. But, only if you join in with us!
Anyhow, good to hear that you're doing alright. Damn, that's one show I've been meaning to start on, but I keep forgetting! Seems like one hell of a show that I'd definitely enjoy.
>>23680193
Aight. Just poured a bit of High West's A Midwinter Night's Dram. Just shooting whenever?
>>23680221
Cheers Gent! Also great success.
Also damn, you just have all the delicious beers tonight now dont you?
>>23680199
I believed in you. </3 another day.
>>23680221
aw i really cant anymore :( the alcohol is in the kitchen and its not mine haha. im drunk enough as is anyway + i have a fever so im fine <3
>>23680237
definitely another fucking day. i always look forward to these threads. you guys are great
There is a downside to this adventure. Upon inspection of my kitchen i have realized there is half a bottle of jaeger here...Im ashamed to say i gave it a double take when i walked in.
I'll save it for a rainier, sadder day though.
>>23680244
Nouuu. good try though, at least you tried. Raging alcoholism is a difficult task.
>>23680221
im a drunken fool. your Bourbon should be prized. also... shots!
>>23680251
oh trust me i know haha. id prob have more drinks if the night didnt end but it did haha i just got in pretty late
>>23680246
JAEGER. i love jaeger. id do a jaegerbomb with you
>>23680237
Just did the shot as well. Cheers!
Eh...I've got some waiting for me in the fridge right now. hahaha
>>23680244
A fever? Well shit, get some rest then! We all certainly understand. Hope you get better!
>>23680246
>>23680251
You don't seem drunk, at least not yet. hahaha Definitely save that Jager for another day. lol Eh, it's just bourbon, good stuff though.
>>23680256
Jaegerbomb, but then flip that bitch and sakebomb. because nothing says alcoholic like mixing rice wine, cough syrup, and whatevers on hand at the moment.
>>23680260
Heh, well ill be up for a bit. im not letting my shots energy go to waste. though i might be. needless to say, proper choices. theres no need to mix mikes and jaeger on the same night. i better go get a budweiser.
>>23680269
bruh. ive never done that lol. id probably die if i ever do
>>23680260
haha i really should but i want to be awake bc one of my friends is anxious and i want to be there for him. plus im listening to music
>>23680273
Good choices. for your friend.
Also, do the thing. get schwifty in here.
>>23680269
That sounds like a solid plan, mate. Imma go get another beer myself now. Thanks for the inspiration. haha
>>23680273
You sound like one really good friend. What band are you listening to??
>>23680283
Not a problem. Cheers!
>>23680279
>>23680283
right now its the yeah yeah yeah's but its like a mix of everything for whatever i feel like at the minute haha
>>23680295
Neat. You know about Swans or Nick Cave?

lordy lordy. thank god for embed.
also tasty stuff btw.
Now Drinking: Taxman's Death & Taxes (Belgian-style Imperial Stout aged in Bourbon barrels)
This is...something. It's got a strange blend of all sorts of flavors, ranging from like plums & cherries to vanilla, bourbon, and chocolate. The dark fruits play a smaller role, but theres enough to make this beer just a bit strange.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be00t9Xu_fM
>>23680371
so this is the epitome of your favorite type of stout. deliciously sweet, thick (ish) and well... strangerous haha
sounds proper though.
>>23680374
Hahaha, kind of? The Belgian yeast is what I'm guessing is making this taste a bit strange. Plus, it tastes it wasn't in the barrel for too long of a time.
A bit pricey, too.
>>23680389
Well i mean its gotta be 8-10 by itself right?
>>23680403
As the price?
>>23680410
Haha yeah man. also its no bueno right now. the birds are singing at me.
>>23680412
Nah, dude. For a 22 oz. bottle, it was $18 before my discount.
>>23680418
oh holy fuck... well that aint no cheap beer sir!
>>23680422
That it is not. Heard good things about it, so I decided to pick one up. Don't think it's worth near the $18.
>>23680424
sir sleep well, it is nearly six and my beers and liqour have left me waay toasty. you have an esxcellent morning and finish this slow race!
>>23680448
Nearly 6 here as well. Well then, have a good sleep, friend. I'll try to cross the finish line with flying colors!
Where my people at?!
Motherfucker where do you find all this gay ass craft NPR ass motherfuckin beer?
I killed a fifth of Beam and a twelve pack of Nattie Ice and four rails of really dirty amphetamine. I got work in four hours and I feel like I just got off my last shift. Why can't I sleep fuck.
Die yuppie scum. Drown me in black velvet.
>>23681154
>gay ass craft NPR ass motherfuckin beer
hahaha, what the hell are you babbling about?
>>23679719
Just cleaned off a Mission Hard Root Beer, moving onto a Henry's Hard Orange Soda.
>>23683101
The Hard Orange isn't too bad, especially for being $6/4pk 16 oz. cans.
>>23683125
Good taste to it, I was a little skeptical about it going in, but it's great to chase a Mission. It's a bit light on it's own though.
>>23683151
Yeah, its something you can crush a few and still not be drunk or anything.
What's everyone else drinking tonight?
Just got back from a friends place. Did a side-by-side comparison of 2006 Midas Touch and 2014 Midas Touch. Was interesting how the 2006 had a deeper color (and, IMO, better taste overall) than the 2014.
Also brought over a bottle of Mikerphone's Own Worst Enemy (Double Milk Stout w/ cocoa nibs and coffee). This shit was pretty dang tasty. Had a lot more coffee than I expected and was a little green, as in from either the hops or the coffee beans used.
Glad I have another bottle to drink!
Looks like I'm going to be drinking all alone tonight. Oh well...

Quality beer by Garage Project
>>23685570
Where's that from? Never heard of it.
New zealand bud. We've got a bunch of craft brewers starting to do some quality stuff.
>>23682147
You know what I fuckin said.
I'm sorry I'm a belligerent speed freak.
Fuckin pussy sommelier of beer motherfuckers.
Having standards is for bitches
>>23685616
NZ hops can make an IPA absolutely AMAZING! Keep doing whatcha doing.
>>23685620
>sommelier
That's for wine, dude. The beer equivalent is Cicerone.
>>23685635
You literally just proved my point you incredible faggot.
Beer was made to get fucked up on not for fruity undertones and a smoky finish.
Also I fucking know what a sommelier is I'm a line cook at a fancy fuckin restaurant with the biggest wine cellar within 300 miles
>>23685644
>I fucking know what a sommelier is
Then you would've known the correct term to use when trying to insult someone, you slouching sack of bull dirt. ;)
Beer should definitely not be taken seriously. However, there's over 80-90 styles of beer, so to make a blanket statement as something like, "all beer tastes the same" is so ridiculous to be taken seriously.
Yeah, it might've been made to get fucked up on wayyyy back centuries ago. However, it's fun to try new beers and dissect it like a frog in seventh grade.
>>23685635
You can say that again
First one went down far to easy..
Next up one you may have seen.. it was recommended to me by a friend excited to see how she goes down.
Mosaic session ale.
By Karl Strauss
>>23685664
Heard of Karl Strauss' stuff, but never had it before (at least, I don't think so). Mosaic is such a delicious hop. If you ever see Founders' Mosaic Promise, be sure to grab some immediately!
>>23685659
1. I'm very fucking spun out right now
2. I don't think all beer tastes the same. I just think you pansies are getting way too into it.
3. I was trying to point out what faggots you are, much like sommeliers.
>>23685677
Hahaha, dude, I'm not off into space too, but not too far.
Was just saying that in general, with the "all beer tastes the same" statement. Sommeliers are quite pretentious and some cicerones can be as well. However, there are tons of beer people that love beer, like to dissect, and enjoy new flavors in things they haven't had before.
I've definitely met some beer people that were so obnoxious and went sooo beyond just observing & enjoying a beer that I've practically walked away from them mid-way through a sentence.
>>23685670
Ive had the pleasure of drinking one before!
Its like an All Day IPA on steroids. All of those flavors and smells amplified and at 5.5% it is pretty sessionable as well.
>>23685707
Yes, exactly! So glad that it's available all Summer long. I just hope they put it into cans and sell 15pks just like All Day. If they did that, I would probably buy one every single week. hahaa
Now Drinking: Pipeworks' S'more Money S'more Problems (Imperial Stout w/ graham cracker, cacao nibs, and vanilla)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJOTbW9JuWk
Pretty much just chugged most of the S'more Money due to doing a chug vid. So, onto the next/possibly last beer of the night.
Now Drinking: Weihenstephaner's Hefe
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHXKVlD_X1o
>>23685881
It's a hefeweizen or weissbier, hefe just means yeast. ;)
>>23685951
Oh, I know. It was just 7am and I didn't feel like typing it all out. lol :D
>>23687336
You're a lazy bum, mate. ;)
>>23687591
Hey, when you've been drinking for 3-4 hours (not heavily, just like sampling with friends) and then come home to chug a 22 oz. bottle of beer at 6am, things start to get hard to do. hahaha
anyone here? trying to decide to drink or not
>>23689737
I'm here. Just got home from a friend's place (different one than last night's).
To answer your dilemma, yes. Drink.
Now Drinking: Lagunitas' Waldos
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo7uMVDpbIE
Webcam broke, if people want, I can do roundabout pictures via laptop. But this is unexpectedly so good.
>>23690154
Let's see them roundabout pics!
Never heard of that beer. Where's it from?
Roundabout pic! Also it's a Philadelphia area beer. Manayunk, being in phily, will do that. They do some really good brews if you are in the area. This one is an oatmeal IPA. It's delicous. I wish I could say more, but it just is delicious.
>>23690220
Also ugh, my lightning. I will fix that next time.
>>23690220
Hm...sounds and looks interesting. I might be able to hit up Philly on my way back from a festival in Baltimore in May. But, I'm pretty sure I won't have enough time.
>>23690256
I wouldn't make it a point to do so. It's good, but I wouldn't say noteworthy to make it be a definite stop.
>>23690265
Ahh, ok. I'm driving back with a couple of people who aren't really beer people. So, if I stop anywhere on my back to Indy, it'll have to be worthwhile, y'know?
>>23690286
I feel you. If you stop in the tri-state area. I would recommend the flying fish beers. They are based on our exits, NJs.
>>23690298
You think their stuff would be available in Maryland?
>>23690311
Yea! I get a bunch of their stuff there, but it is slightly rarer than where I live outside of philly. Their brewery is like... 10 min from me.
>>23690318
Awesome. I'll be sure to look for their beers while in Baltimore. Any specific ones that you'd recommend?
>>23690352
Of flying fish would be: Exit 18 and Exit 1
>>23690362
Thanks, friend!
Now Drinking: Weihenstephaner's Hefeweizen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZdjIVX_Izs
Now Drinking: Pipeworks' Ninja vs. Unicorn
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6uTEnfykCs
The other day, I went to a craft beer pub... amazing selection, I'd estimate around 100 different beers from around the world, 20 or so of them on tap.
But, to be brutally honest, I still don't see the appeal of craft beers. They are expensive and don't have any edge over the run-of-the-mill stuff I can get in any supermarket 'round here.
>>23690820
Beer, the craft stuff in particular, is a huge spectrum with almost 100 styles plopped on it from end to end. The multitude of flavors you can get from a beer can be fascinating, educational, and, above all, delicious.
There should be a class that's available for everyone in college where you learn how to homebrew. Homebrewing teaches you how difficult it can be to make a good beer as there are sooo many things that can go wrong and you need to watch for. For instance, you can give 100 brewers the exact same recipe and, in the end, you'll get 100 different beers (not extremely different, but enough to notice small differences).
Another example is that people don't realize how crucial the quality of water is when using it to make a beer. You can't just take city water. throw it into a pot, and start brewing a beer. For breweries, they have to add a precise amount of chemicals in order to neutralize the water and be sure nothing like chlorine or whatever is in the water or else the beer is going to be shit. Also, fermentation is also a crucial step in the beer making process that takes the utmost attention when it sits while the yeast converts the sugars into CO2 and alcohol. But, now I'm just rambling. hahaa
>don't have any edge over the run-of-the-mill stuff I can get in any supermarket 'round here.
Beer is just like food. Yeah, you can go the cheap route and buy a case of Bud Lite for 1/2 the price of a case of craft beer. However, you get what you pay for. Domestics (Bud, Miller, Coors, etc.) are to fast food as craft beer is to top quality restaurant. A lot of craft beer can be an experience and it's intriguing to try new beers and expand your mind on what a beer can be.
I will add that, even though I & many others shit on domestics, I have a huge respect for them. On the huuuuuuge scale that they're brewing at, it's mind-boggling how they can turn out a consistent product every single day.
>>23690931
Mate, please. As if I was talking about Bud and the like when I talk about beer from the supermarket. Stuff from the supermarket is Weihenstephaner etc...
I guess I'm just a beer pleb anyway since I don't much care for the fancy flavors that craft beers try to achieve. In a beer I look for a solid body or, plain and simple, it being palatable (mind you, that doesn't mean flat/light/watery).
>>23691074
Im guessing you live in Europe?
Of course a beer doesn't have to be jammed packed with all sorts of flavors in order to be good. Something that is simple and crushable can be just as enjoyable as some bourbon barrel aged adjunct stout.
>>23691091
Yep, Germany to be precise. So... I guess I kind of have the benefit of a rather extensive beer history going into the stuff that gets sold in our supermarkets?
Even so, there is a lot of debate here lately about the purity law (which isn't a law at all) and how constraining oneself to the four basic ingredients makes all beers kind of the same and restraints creativity, where craft beers are supposed to come in.
Also no idea why my ID changed between my last two posts.
where are my Mon-Day drinkers
>>23691100
I guess no one told the dude behind Freigeist about the Reinheitsgebot. hahahaha
>>23692345
Too bad I got to work from 4pm-12am today.
>>23692541
it is. I've been drinking and listening to R. Kelly. Great combo

Starting things off tonight pretty light.

Last one of the night. Seems like half the time, I drink just to bump this thread. Probably going to stop drinking nearly as much as these threads seem to usually be dead. And here I am, babbling about nothing that no one would give a care about. Oh well.
