What are we all drinking tonight?

[arbusto_baboso]

I'll be quaffing a nice pint or two of Trader Joe's Holiday Ale, 2006. It's a dark ale on lees and is very nice! I might wash it all down with an 18 year-old Bowmore single malt.

[AlCzervik]

1. Hefeweizen with orange slices-hat tip to Bridgit.

[arbusto_baboso]

3. You ever try Belgian-style "white beers"?

If you like hefeweizen, you'd like a Belgian white. Blue Moon is quite good (though a bit trendy). My personal fave is a Quebecois version called Blanche de Chambly.

[AllegroRondo]

4. another one, if you can find it, is Celis White

great stuff! I believe its made in Texas.

[geardaddy]

22. You should try Hoegaarden

or Wittekerke.

[geardaddy]

23. You should use lemons in Hefeweizen

Oranges are for white beer. But I know people who say that real German Hefes don't use fruit at all.

[SteppingRazor]

2. I bought a 1.5L bottle of Chivas for the debates last night...

and, naturally, I didn't manage to get through the whole bottle. Tonight's a Chivas night.

[seemunkee]

5. A couple of options

I've got a bottle of Dogfish Head Black&Blue, DFH 120 IPA, some saison or the homebrew porter.

[smtpgirl]

50. Great to see a Dogfish fan, howdy!!

Have you been to Dogfish in Gaithersburg?

[seemunkee]

56. Heck yeah. I work a just a couple of miles away

[Gen. Jack D. Ripper]

6. loneliness, despair

and a concoction of assorted grain liquors I call "the soup."

[KitchenWitch]

15. Been there, done that!

:rofl:

[arbusto_baboso]

18. That goes well with a nice Port, dontcha know. eom

[aljones]

7. Yingling....probably pick up six pack for me and the SO before

SFI-Friday begins....

[NightWatcher]

8. PBR, I found a suitcase (24) for 11.99 the other day.

So I'll be sipping on these till I go to work this afternoon for a few hours and then again once I get off.

[Rambis]

9. Old standards

With a Smithwicks in between-

[smtpgirl]

51. Just finalized my travel arrangements for Ireland today

Will be havin' a pint of Guinness at a real Irish Pub in September

BRILLIANT~~

[LynneSin]

10. The best bottle of $6 wine you'll ever find (and I'm not kidding!!)

It's a lovely crisp South African Savignon Blanc. It has hints of fresh fruit and I love drinking this stuff in the spring time! And it's cheap. South Africa hasn't exploded yet on the wine market like Australia and New Zealand have but South Africa has some great vineyards out there!

[kwassa]

11. sniff ... my Bowmore is only ten years old

and Trader Joes can't sell alcohol in Maryland.

Still, I have Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA in the fridge.

[arbusto_baboso]

16. Awww, that's alright. Your Bowmore is still very nice...

But TJ's can't sell alcohol in Maryland??? :wtf: How about the one in DC?

[seemunkee]

21. I thought that was only Montgomery County

Doesn't matter, you have a fine beer there. One of my favorites

[kwassa]

31. You might be right ..... but I live in Montgomery County.

[seemunkee]

33. Hi Neighbor

:hi:

Ever been to the DFH pub in G'burg?

[kwassa]

57. Yes, I go by it all the time.

though I generally buy the beer from the local store.

[smtpgirl]

54. The Indian Brown Ale is good too

Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats in Rehoboth Beach, DE has a great grilled Tuna sandwich with marinated ginger & Tomato (Asian Salsa) on their brown bread made with Indian Brown Ale.


Asian Marinated Tuna Steak - On grilled black bread with a tomato & ginger salsa. $12.00

MMMM Good Eats

This guy has found a cottage industry (Sam Caglione). Dogfish Brewery in Milton, DE, Dogfish Brewing & Eats in Rehoboth Beach, DE, Dogfish Ale House in Gaithersburg, MD, and there will soon be a Dogfish establishment in Falls Church, VA

[Omphaloskepsis]

12. Well, it is 11:30AM...

I have a keg of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale in the garage. I am drinking while I finish mowing/weed whacking the lawn. I will pass out by three pm.

[petronius]

42. You have a keg of it?! Damn; I only have a 12 pack...

[KitchenWitch]

13. Iced green tea.

[Lil Missy]

14. Maybe rum and coke, or maybe home brewed tea. Haven't decided

[NewWaveChick1981]

17. Tonight, mojitos...

:hi: :D

[arbusto_baboso]

19. Mmmmm, Mojitos! I wish I could still drink rum.

But I had a very bad experience some years ago when I overindulged in some Captain Morgan. Haven't been able to stand the smell of rum since then.

[RebelOne]

20. White French wine. Pouilly Fuse.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

I don't work too late though, so I'll have a drink or two when I get home.

[Tyo]

[aljones]

34. Gross!

[Initech]

30. Whatever they got out in the desert!

I'm heading out to Coachella so I'm sure that my buddies will bring plenty of booze (since a fucking beer at the show will cost $20 and you can buy a whole handle of Cuervo for that!)! :beer:

[av8rdave]

35. I'm gonna have...

a couple Sierra Nevadas at Spondivit's, Atlanta (and maybe some of their excellent seafood gumbo)

[bamacrat]

36. Beer.

[Left Is Write]

37. I do not know. We are going to the 8th Street Wine Company for dinner....

then on to The Front Door. I always ask the bar manager (a good friend of ours) to choose one of their many wonderful beers for me.

You can see the Front Door menu here...

[tandot]

38. I am still at work. It is 3:40 pm here. I'll have a glass of '03 Guenoc Petite Sirah

after work. I can't wait...

2003 Guenoc Lake County Petite Sirah

This full-bodied wine has abundant fruit focusing on ripe berries, plum and spice with hints of smoky oak and vanilla in the finish.

Winemaker Notes:

Created from fruit sourced from vineyards in the Lake County growing region, our 2003 Lake County Petite Sirah was aged in a combination of French oak and American oak barrels for more than twenty-four months.

My favorite Winery:

http://www.langtryestate.com/guenoc-lake-county-petite-sirah.html

We go wine tasting in Lake County at least 3 times a year.

[Celeborn Skywalker]

40. a double shot of single malt scotch on the rocks. (nt)

[petronius]

43. On the rocks??!! AAaauuuughhh!!!!

</snobbery>

Just kidding, of course - drink it however makes you happy. What scotch are you drinking?

[Celeborn Skywalker]

45. Glenfiddich.

I drink scotch neat sometimes, but i usually like a little ice.

[Callalily]

41. Cabernet Sauvignon

Care to join me?

[bigwillq]

44. I hope to be drinking later

when I get out of work.

I can't wait for that first Heineken Light! :beer:

[opiate69]

46. Widmer '07 Pale Ale.

[Treclo]

47. ok, I've moved on

to a new one, (for me), Yeti Imperial Stout. Very bitter, very yummy.

[Wetzelbill]

48. orange gatorade

[SarahB]

49. diet orange soda

[Nicole]

52. Root Beer Float.

:9

[tandot]

53. I got home and decided against the petite sirah...I am on my second

glass of 2 oz of Ketel One with 1/2 juice of a lemon with about 4 oz of water and 4 splendas. Stir to dissolve the Splenda and then add ice cubes.

I got bad news which warrants something stronger than just wine

[Maddy McCall]

55. Coke.

I WISH I could have a big ol' martini or three, but I'm charged with watching a family member who's not doing so well tonight, so it'll be Coke alternated with Community coffee for me.
