Now Drinking: New Day's Imperial Breakfast Magpie (Black raspberry mead w/ coffee aged in Angel's Envy barrels for 14 months)
Just picked up another case today (hence not responding in the last thread). Stuff's so goood!

>i wanna be like your best friend lol
next week is when things get serious with the alcohol <3 how are you
Who is to say you're not already one of my best friends? :3 And good to hear! I'm doing ok. Picked up a case of the above mead. Fortunately, I got there in time to get on as they were only releasing 60 cases. So, had to act fast. hahaa Yourself?
>>23749978
>How much did [a bottle of regular Breakfast Magpie] cost?
$12 from the meadery/store, but I got mine for $10 due to working at a store.
>>23753059
pretty alright. i met up with someone + played this horror game and had a sam adams. was pretty chill
and awww <3 also glad you got what you wanted lol
>>23753070
Which game did you play with your friend?
Yeah, ended up getting there around an hour and a half before opening and there were already 20ish people there. Though, I kind of wish I would've stayed in and slept a lot more. hahaa
Taking beer selfies with an actual camera is a pain in the ass. My phone broke the other day and my temporary replacement has a garbage front camera, though, so I had to try and use my X100.
Anyway, I always seem to go to my local liquor store, stare at the beer coolers for 10 minutes, and then end up leaving with Pizza Port Swami's again. Good shit and I don't have to drink a while six pack to feel anything.
>>23753127
What about using a timer?
Heard some good things about Pizza Port, as well as their Swami's. Cool can design.
>>23753153
Yeah, a timer would be an option, but it'd require getting my tripod from my car and setting it up, and that's a hassle I don't feel like dealing with when I've been drinking and have no pants on.
I like this Swami's a lot. My liquor store has probably 100 varieties of six packs and another 50 or big single bottles, and this is the one I almost always go for.
>>23753011
This just seems like too much for me. You're already gonna age it in bourbon barrels, which should be all that's needed for a good brew. But to add raspberry? Eh, I guess I'm just a snob or something.
Anyways, drinking Buffalo Trace with a bit of ginger ale.
>>23753164
haha, always sucks having to put on pants.
There's always a go to for everyone. Right now, Founders' Mosaic Promise has been mine. So dang good and crushable.
>>23753201
I feel that aging a beer or mead in a barrels can add complexity to it (emphasis on 'can' as many breweries suck at aging their stuff lol). Adding things like fruit can pull the amount of complex flavors out of the beer/mead. For this one, they added the black raspberries before aging it. Honestly, I sort of like the regular version better, but this one is on a different plane and tasty in its own right.
Sun King started me on Indy brews and i started branching out. Within a shadow of a stout and all along the scotch towers at Towyard are the business. Sun Kings wee mac got old and the more i branched out the weaker it tasted. Now their ring of dingle is pretty good.

Forgot my link.
>>23753337
WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU???
I have to know you somehow. Are you in the Indianapolis Beer Trade & Discussion group on FB? If not, it would be such a coincidence that two people from Indy and who like Metal are on here.
Bumpin' before I fall asleep. Hopefully this is still up in 12-15 hours.
>>23753712
I also know your name but well keep it anonymous. I just like to drink beer is all.
>>23754669
>we'll keep it anonymous
Are we friends on FB?
>>23754694
Currently drinking a shandy cuz it refreshes you while you put the garden in.
>>23755214
Dude, seems like its been forever since we last talked!
Have you had either Pilsner Urquell? Stuff is cheap, crisp, and refreshes ya during the Spring & Summer.
>>23755265
It has been a while. Since the theater. I havent tried it though. Where can i get it?
>>23755265
Also im shedding some skin with pantera while i smoke a briscut been on the bottle since 11 am
>>23755292
You should be able to find it at most liquor stores (be sure to get the 4pk of 16 oz. cans).
>>23755294
Sounds like it's already been an eventful day, man!
Now Drinking: Founders' Mosaic Promise
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg2Gpfm1Jaw
>>23753011
Not much usual choice, but it does taste good
>>23755862
Hey, it's 8%, so it also does the trick. lol
>>23755867
That's really all I was worried about, that and something that would be delicious with a burrito.

>>23755875
Too delicious with a burrito?
Where's everyone at?
Rdy2die
Budweiser is piss water
>>23756986
Is that from 2011 like the one from a couple threads ago?
Now Drinking: Taxman's Blackberry Deduction (Dubbel w/ blackberries)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vltFjJqrzRc
Newcomer to these threads
Managed to snag a bottle of Dogfish Head 120 Minute from my place of work but decided not to drink it just yet.
Will report back after trying it.
>>23757679
You should chug it. Trust me, it's not as bad as you may think it'll be. ;)
Regardless, nice bottle opener!
A proper whiskey sour
>>23757704
What kind of whiskey is in it?
>>23757717
Bulleit Rye
>>23757746
Good choice, my friend.
>>23757768
It's good for mixing, and I don't believe in corn alcohol.
>>23753094
some new horror game i cant rememeber the name of lol. its similar to amnesia except with paint + oscar wilde influence
ive been drinking coffee and water and not sleeping cause procrastination :)
>>23758471
Hm...sounds quite the intriguing game. If I played it, it'd be lost on me as I don't know much at all on OW. hahaa
Damn, have a big project coming up or something?
>>23758947
just 3 essays. ive been slowly working on. 2 are due tomorrow lol. its going though
its just hard to concentrate in one place so i keep moving around but its not helping either aha
>>23759284
Well, sometimes, moving around can help kickstart the brain and get your thoughts onto the page much easier.
In any case, good luck on the essays! Hope they get done before the deadline. lol
Bumpin'
>>23756999
i bought a case of that at the store yesterday
This thread makes me sad that I have to leave for work in an hour.
>>23761220
I was somewhat joking considering a couple threads ago, someone posted they had just drank a Bud from 2011 and immediately regretted it. lol
>>23761305
With luck, this thread will be here for when you get back from work!
Now Drinking: Stillwater/Dugges' Tropic Punch (American Wild brewed w/ peach, mango, and passion fruit)
Very light on the sourness, tiny bit of tartness, HUGE on the peach and mango. Little light on the body, which would be my only complaint. This stuff is going to be perfect for the Summer!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9te0KPjXtM
Had several...just got home from a pub quiz--lost by 1 point...on to the Summit Summer Ale to drown my sorrows...
>>23761984
Chug it. It'll make you feel better. Trust me.
>>23762024
I already feel pretty good...I guess I didn't know that there were mummys in South America 2000 years before the God Damn Egyptians started wrapping people (and ibis) in linen.
What's your story? What's shaking tonight?
>>23762046
Huh. Well, on the bright side, we all learned something new tonight. lol
My story/life is boring and not worth mentioning. hahaha Plan on drinking something here soon. Not sure what, though.
The restaurant where I worked closed down, they had a bottle of Kahlua stashed in the freezer so I called dibs. Also got some beer from St John but it's IPA bullshit.
>>23762084
Which St John? Not the one here in Indiana, is it?
>>23762095
Negative, St. John U.S Virgin Islands, they make good beer, I just don't like IPA.
>>23762101
I don't like IPA either. I was really into beer--brewing my own--about 15 years ago and thought overhopped beer was something amazing back then...ahead of the times, I guess...now I want something more balanced and drinkable...
>>23762101
Ah, I see. IPAs and Sours seem to be the harder of beer styles for most people to get into. Usually takes time and the right kind to like them. But, understandable that people might not like 'em.
At least you have a bottle of Kahlua to party with.
>>23762084
To clarify, I didn't work at the restaurant, it was located on property were I work.
>>23762122
>>23762125
Eh, if I want to get smashed on something bitter I'll make some cheap coffee and pour some vodka in it.
I also have a bottle of Bombay Sapphire in the freezer, might open that tonight.
>>23757694
Reporting back. Just started the bottle and I'm loving it.
And thanks, man. One of the cashiers gave it to me the other night because I mentioned I had lost my bottle opener. She bought it off some Chinese wholesale site for a dollar.
>>23762152
Well, good beer isn't something that you go out and get drunk off of. As you pointed out, liquor is there for those situations.
>>23762230
Good to hear that! And that was nice of her! Seemed like a bargain for only being a dollar.
>>23762288
It doesn't bend the caps, is cute, and fits well on my lanyard. I have no complaints.
>>23762330
It's always hard to find a good bottle opener that doesn't bend the caps.
I kind of want a bottle opener called a Whaler Slayer. It's made by this one guy and he hand makes them all. Two problems: there's a huuuuge wait list and it's pretty dang expensive. They look cool, don't bend the caps, and can cut through wax, though. Pictured is just one of a handful of designs the guy makes.
Russian Standard and OJ tonight. Too lazy to take a pic and it just looks like a random glass of OJ anyway.
>>23762365
Hot damn, those look cool. The 120 was delicious.
OP, I'm only 19 so I can't purchase shit for myself, (customer bought the 120 for me for being a bro of an employee) but I'll try to participate in the threads from here on out with whatever's available in the house.
>>23762390
Has anyone ever garnished a screwdriver with an orange? I don't know why anyone would, but though it might be cool. lol
>>23762406
Yeah and they're pretty big (maybe like a foot/foot and a half long?). And glad you enjoyed it! Have you had many beers like 120 before?
Oh dang. Well, you don't have to really drink in order to participate.
>>23762430
Hm, that could be interesting. I keep meaning to buy some oranges for other drinks anyway, and then I forget when I'm at the store.
Screwdrivers are a seriously half-assed drink for me, though, they're what I make when I just want to throw some shit in a cup.
>>23762435
You never know. It could be the next big thing (but probably not)! lol
Now Chugging: Three Floyds' Dark Lord
Would post a webm of the video, but since it's almost 2 minutes long, I can't seem to find a program that will allow me to convert the video to a webm that this place will allow me to post. Oh well...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MRcRr8u204
It's the weekend (for me)!
Finishing off the 4 pack of Blazing World I bought. I thought the first one I had was okay but the more I drank it the better it became. Probably one of their best offerings that isn't something barrel aged!
>>23766078
How's the canned stout they make?
Now Drinking: Grimm's Vacay (Dry-hopped Sour)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWStaRmuXzY
waddap spencer
how is life treating you these days?
>>23767601
Not too much. Got off work a bit ago, picked up a cheapass coffee pot, and started eating my dinner a few minutes ago. How about you?
Life has been....ehhh.
>>23767629
shit those are some late-ass hours. where the hell are you working? anything good for dinner?
life has also been eehhh for me as well. i'm broke as fug and have been living on peanut butter sandwiches and cheap vodka kek. will probably get a new job this week though. can't wait to get back onto the beer train
>>23767644
I work at a decent liquor store for now (hopefully getting another interview later this year to work at a brewery). Eh, it's ok since I'm mainly a night person, so it works. Sometimes. For dinner, I'm having delicious cold pizza from two nights ago. Mmmmm.
Ah, I know how that is. Have you ever tried soaking a PB sandwich in vodka and then eating the sandwich? I have no idea how that'll taste/go, but I feel like it would be an interesting experiment. Good luck on getting a new job!
By the way, you by chance know much about the process of making coffee?
nursing a crabbie's at the moment. only have 2 left.
how is everyone tonight? it's hot and humid as fuck in my apartment, so i took to drinking and shitposting. (a/c just blows air for now and landlord is always missing).
would post a pic, but phone is not cooperating lately.
>>23767666
>dem satanic trips
CHECK'D. dude if you get a brewery job that would be awesome! kek, I've never tried that but it sounds bretty scary. I have a weak stomach when it comes to mixing odd shit together, lel.
ooh I can help you with the coffee, heh. you have to find paper filters that you can put in the little basket at the top of the coffee apparatus. then you put a scoop of coffee grounds into the basket. then you pour in a cup of water, and you shut the lid and press the "on" button. then you wait and get delicious coffee about three minutes l8er
omg you just reminded me that I have an interview tomorrow, kek. good thing it's at 1
Just moved city, crashing with my brother for the interim. This is a Hollandia household.
>>23767715
Oh shit, didn't even realize dem best of trips. Nice catch.
Indeed it would be awesome, just like how that PB & Vodka sandwich will taste. hahaa If your body ends up rejecting the experiment, the most that would happen is you puke a little. No problem with that.
Well, with the coffee thing, the main thing I'm unsure of is how much coffee grounds to put in the filter to what amount of water. By scoop, how much would that be? Pic related, the cheap lil' bastard I just bought.
1pm? You've got time to push off sleep for a while. hahaa
>>23767792
eyyy that' what I'm here for
lel pls, I value my beauty sleep. I don't want to have wrinkles before I turn 25. your beard is coming along quite nicely I must add. looks bretty full and happy
the scoop to water ratio depends on how strong you like your coffee. I usually do 2 tablespoons full of grounds per 8 oz of water (it's a bit strong but I need that to wake me up kek)
>>23767803
Hm...will use your measurements first thing in the morning/afternoon when I wake up. Thanks for the help!
Ehh, you won't get wrinkles for at least another twenty years. And even if you did some before then, it'll just make you look more distinguished.
And thanks for the beard compliment. Surprised that it's coming in a little thicker than last time, though I'm still unsure if I should keep growing it or just shave it all off.
>>23767712
Damn, that sucks! I know just a tiny bit what you're feeling. My car hasnt had AC since September. But, I can't imagine not having it at home. I'd want to just take ice baths all day long or something. hahaa
>>23767855
fuck. hope you get that fixed. i have been lucky with my new car so far (a/c hasn't crash yet, old car wouldn't work on the worst of days)
i'm just glad that it feels even shittier outside. it gives me something to feel smug about.
anyone drunk and miserable yet?
Drinking gin (again) tonight. Splurged on good gin. Langley's number 8.
Mexican Coke and Russian Vodka go together better than you might expect.
>>23767938
Coincidentally, I'm taking it in later today to see what's up with it (and other things with the rest of my car). Hopefully it won't cost me too much.
I imagine you have like a battalion of fans on full blast pointed straight at you right now? haa
Eh, half the time I'm miserable on most nights, so I feel ya.
>>23768000
Have you had Uncle Val's Botanical Gin? Heard it's some awesome Gin, especially for mixed drinks.
>>23768014
What's the difference between regular coke and Mexican coke?
>>23768016
hm, i hope it doesn't cost you too much either.
nice use of the word battalion, but unfortunately, no. it would be pretty nice right about now, though, but i started drinking in my car with the a/c on.
about to go back inside, though. a pig keeps circling around my block.
managed this shit pic earlier, too.
>>23768021
mexican coke tastes crisp as hell, making it a bit more refreshing, in my opinion.
>>23768021
Mexican Coke is made with real cane sugar instead of corn syrup.
It goes much better with alcohol because the natural sugar in booze meshes better with the real sugar in Mexican Coke, and doesn't give you that acrid clash that you get when mixing liquor and normal soda.
>>23768021
I have not, I'm actually pretty new to the Gin scene. I stick to new Amsterdam (cause cheap and tasty) when I usually wanna splurge it's on Bombay Sapphire, I've been told I need to try Bombay Sapphire East. But this is the extent of my gin knowledge. (These are pictures from earlier)
>>23768000
>>23768041
Get some Plymouth Gin if you can find it. It's actually a totally different style of gin from most of the stuff out there, and it's rare now but used to be popular back in the early 20th century and is actually what martinis were originally supposed to be made of.
>>23768030
Sounds like you found solace inside your car for a bit.
>a pig keeps circling around my block
Wait...........what?
>>23768034
>>23768035
Ahhh, ok. If it's available anywhere near where I live, I'll be sure to buy some to see what it's all about.
>>23768041
I see, I see. I don't drink gin, so I feel ya on that front. Though, one other suggestion is getting blue cheese filled olives to through into a martini. My coworkers told me they're perfect for such a martini.
>>23768086
hahaha a cop
>>23768096
hahaha, damn, that went right over my head.
Now Drinking: Goose Island's Bourbon County 2014
So dang delicious!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JWxNqyIRtk
Welp, I need to hit the bed. Hopefully this thread is still up within the next 12-14 hours.
Night, everyone.
