OK time to get funky - tastes just like the name. Actually pretty yummy.

tonite's fare:

Tin Mill Skyscraper

from a (sorta) local microbrewery in Hermann, MO. basically an overly hoppy pilsner. not great, but pretty good.

 

I've had that. I thought it was okay, but it would have been better as a Stout.

 

Hmm. A stout with that flavor would be very interesting.

 

Ok warning
This one gave a huge headache and I only had one can!
Wasn't that great either but the name made me do it.
Note the ingredients. Perhaps trying so hard for the 6's was not a great way to brew.

What it the world...Is that suppose to be a Stout IPA? It sure is dark as molassas.

I bought Sierra Nevada Glissade. Haven't tried it yet.

 

No idea it was just bad. Glad I only bought one can!

 

bought a sixer of Blue Moon's Honey Moon Summer Ale tonight. great beer!

and it is made with orange peel, so I'm getting my vitamins too

 

The Devils Brew made me think of this one.

Arrogant Bastard Ale. Only tried one. It had been sitting around a while and was a wee bit flat so the test drive I took it on may not have been fair, but when one considers the name (and he attitude) of the Brewers it may not really matter

 

I celebrated with a Dos Equis (though I'm not very interesting) and Tecate (but I am cheap ) at lunch. Tonight its Negra Modelo with a splash of Corona Light.

Buenas noches.

 

Oh, you don't have to be interesting to enjoy Dos Equis...their Amber is by far my favorite right now. I've been hooked on it for about a year.

I actually had my first margarita last night for Cinco. I've always stuck to straight liquor...and think I'll go right back, thank you very much.

WHERE DID YOU GET IT? I keep looking at Kroger/grocery stores in general but never find it. I'll probably have to go somewhere more specific, but that's kind of out of the way...

Orange peel...nice justification. Wait--who needs that???

 

I use to enjoy dos equis. Now all mexican beers give me a headache and they just taste funny.

 

Even Sol? I like that one.

At dinner tonight I had the "Beer Flight" foursome (not my pic), roughly a double shot glass each of Abita Andygator, Gordon Biersch Märzen, Shiner Bock, and a 4th that I can't recall at the moment. You pick 4 from 7 or 8 beers.

The restaurant is connected to a wine & beer store and picked up the threesome (my pic) below after dinner.

Now finishing the last of the Corona Lights from Cinco de Mayo.

Cheers!

Nice! Thank you for the pictures. That Young's is nice. Enjoy!!

 

I buy it at a local/regional grocery store chain called Schnucks (I think they have stores in Memphis too). may want to check liquor stores or specialty food/beverage shops in your area, or just call Blue Moon and see if they know of a local distributor.

 

My Schnucks has it too. Their beer selection has more than doubled in the last year, now I actually buy beer at the grocer.

Picked up a "Party Keg" (5 qts) of Spaten Premium from a liquor store that has them on sale for $17.99.

Woohoo!

 

didn't realize they had expanded into Indiana. and yes, they take their alcohol seriously

 

Just in Evansville, as far as I know... 5 stores within 45 minutes of me.

Really is the only store I go to. Shame they don't have a larger selection of 'gourmet' ingredients.

 

Just had a Coney Island lager infused with cascade hops, tequila soaked jalapenos, and cherry tomatoes, Now that was unique ! Good for a pint but not much more for me.

 

He knew you wern't drunk, since there is about as much alcohol in Busch as there is in Coors lite, which is next to none.

 

picked up a self-made 6 pack this weekend...

Picked up Bridgeport Hop Czar and Langusta Cappacino Stout.

 

Just had Brooklyn Black Ops - great but watch out for the 11.6% abv.

Brooklyn Black Ops (2008 commercially available version) was aged for four months in bourbon barrels, bottled flat, and re-fermented in the bottle with Champagne yeast. 940 cases produced.
