Drink choice

[mattzang]

just got that for Christmas

it's really good stuff, but i consider there to be several that are right on par with it

That dang headache now. It seems like yesterday I could drink the bar, get 4 hours of sleep, wake up and run 5 miles, work all day, then start all over again. Getting old sucks.

There’s a few home brew clone kits for that one and I’ve been contemplating making it. What would you consider on par?

Port Brewing Mongo
Knee Deep Hoptologist
Firestone Walker Double Jack (they inexplicably stopped brewing this years ago, but i heard they started again)
Bear Republic Racer X
Stone Enjoy By

probably a few more too. what RR does that's so ingenious is they don't brew much of it and make it hard as heck to get. you can't get it from bevmo or something like that, so there's this crazy allure to it. meanwhile i can find some of the others at my local grocery store

Tonight’s choice.

Weller 12 is a fine drink anytime of the day. I also like craft beer and dabble in all the styles but my go to would be a simple stout, doesn’t have to be barrel aged. I like Everett by Hill Farmstead out of VT.

Tonight’s beer: 12 lbs 2 row, 1 lbs oat, all hops are hbc 342: 1 oz @ 60 min, 1 oz @ 30 min, 1 oz @ 10 min, 1 oz @ flameout. It tastes like I should be on my boat in the middle of summer.

About to pop this local brew open and watch Watchmen

where is that from? I’m curious about that marshmallow flavor in it. I’m all onboard with everything else, but wondering about that one. I can see how a toasted marshmallow flavor would compliment the others.

Sipping on it now. It’s ok. From J. Wakefield brewing out of Miami, Fl. I’d probably prefer toasted marshmallow and coconut too. The marshmallow obviously gives it a candy sweetness. Perhaps some vanilla flavor. overly sweet. The beer also is under carbed in my opinion. And the rest of the flavors are dominated by how boozy and strong the bourbon barrel aging is. But at 12% it’s getting better with every sip. Needs to warm up a bit

The Macallan - Speyside Single Malt at least 12 year's old.

No, it ain't cheap, but I just spent 70 bucks on a box of salt so it's all relative.

I’m a Whiskey guy. Inexpensive favorite would be Smooth Ambler Contradiction and my favorite rare one would be Pappy.

contradiction is a great bourbon. I also really enjoy mid winter dram and William Larue
with a Zino cigar or Man O’ War.

I have 8 bottles. Where do you live it’s easy to get in TN

which pappy bottles do you have? It’s also hard to get in Ohio because of our laws. I’ve had the 23 before which is the one awarded in an auction. Was good. But George T Stagg and Weller WL are personal favorites for me.

Yeah, this isn’t really a forum of misers. I imagine if folks here dropping $300 on lighting a 10 gallon tank, there’s no issue dropping some scrilla on a bottle of booze.

i haven’t had a cigar in years, but I used to love pairing a Gurkha Ninja and Four Roses Single Barrel.

I travel to Nashville regularly that’s where i normally can grab a bottle. Also have customers in the pikeville Kentucky area.

Very Close, just need to add another zero on that $300. . I think this hobby is what drove me to drinking.

 

[Redfoxtang]

I like my bourbon or whisky but on the rare occasion I have a beer it's this.

Where did you snag that from? Curious how that taste!!

And all to keep a $10 zoa frag happy...

Recovering alcoholic here, I either drink a dangerous amount of NOS, Unsweetened ice tea, or water lol.

I was a big whiskey rocks guy and IPA man back in my hay-day.
