I'll probably finish off what is left of my altbier. There is only a couple of pints left though. After that, the only thing I have on tap is my American Wheat. In the upstairs fridge I have some hefe in bottles, and I think I might have a bottle of ESB, but I dont think I am going to be in the mood for either.
 
Ahoy hoy,
I picked up a case of Jubelale to either drown my sorrows or celebrate with. I also have a bottle of Stones Vertical 08 08 08 which, if like the first bottle i drank of it sat night, will put me in the twilight zone, if i need to go there.
Might still pick up a 4 pack of DFH 90 IPA for the fun of it.....
I bid you all a great day! :mug:
 
I have a corny of SNPA on tap but when the election results start definitively showing that Obama has won I must admit I will toast with some champagne.
:D
 
Some of my Oktoberfest ale, and no doubt a Wit since I will be kegging my Wit tonight and washing the cake. I also have a half pint of Belgian pale ale to drink up left over from when I bottled what was left in the keg today.
 
SN Harvest Ale! I bought a case of 24oz. at Costco, with the side benefit of using the bottles for gifts, parties and such. I think I like the straight harvest better than any other variation. Crazy head retention on this stuff! After draining most of the glass I top it off, and the beer doesn't break up the head...it flows OVER THE TOP of it!

I also have some Kolsch that is kegged and should be cleared up. I'll be testing that out tonight.
 
A couple of BM's OctoberFAST (that I made, not him) and a couple homebrewed pumpkin ales. They actually got a superb rating on Halloween, but that was by one 50-year-old dude who managed to get drunk and then smoke a bone right in front of the kids.

Moron.
 
Thankfully I don't live in Indiana anymore. I liked the state well enough, but they never got around to fixing the law that says you can't buy alcohol on election day (there are others, but I never lived in them). Of course, now I live in a "dry" county in Arkansas... Still haven't made it to the store, but I'm glad to see all the suggestions on what I should buy. :D

I think I'll start with the bottle of Mild that some kind HBT soul mailed me (since I polished off the other two brews last night) and maybe some Caol Ila after that since I haven't had any in a while.

Hmm, I just bought these tonight in Indiana.........

Well I had one of those WTF moments at the beerstore and couldn't make up my mind, so I did a 10 dollah mixed sixer...

1 Sundog Amber Ale, New Holland Brewing Company
Holland Michigan.

2 Old Scratch Amber Lager, Flying Dog Brewery
Colorado, United States

3 Tire Bite Golden Ale, Flying Dog Brewery
Colorado, United States

4 120W-60 IPA MotorCIty Brewing Works
Detroit Michigan

5 Mad Anthony IPA, Mad Anthony Brewing Company,
Erie Indiana,

6 America's Original Pumpkin Ale, Buffalo Bill's Brewery,
California

And no matter how many I drink, I'm capping off the the Oaked Arrogant bastard...

I've just finished the sundog, and I am impressed, it's a hoppy amber ale. I'm going for the Mad ANthony IPA now...

*Sigh* God I love america where amber waves of grain gives forth a bounty of beautiful beers.

Yes, the head is quite impressive, looks like meringue!

Weyerbacher Double Simcoe IPA, mulled wine, and will top off the night with some Tosti Asti (whether things go how I like or not!).
 
Ok, Just back from the local booze outlet. Fresh armed with a bottle of Avery's Hog Heaven, a bottle of Boulevard's Long Strange Triple, a bottle of Chimay, and a sixer of Sam Adams Winter Lager. Should be fun! :drunk: At least I won't suffer too much tonight when McCain loses.

Terje

FWIW - I have to beg a need of bottles for the Sam Adams in there.

Hog Heaven's awesome!

Well so far I've had,

Sundog Amber Ale, New Holland Brewing Company
Holland Michigan.

120W-60 IPA MotorCIty Brewing Works
Detroit Mich

Mad Anthony IPA, Mad Anthony Brewing Company,
Erie Indiana,

And I'm pretty dissapointed so far...the only decent one, and the most hoppy of the 3 was the amber ale...Although the Mad ANthony was the most citrussy hoppy beer I have ever smelled...though the taste was just OK....
 
Well ive had a few Guinness to start off slow now moving on to a Gold Spike Ale made by the BBC in MA. Maybe have a Sierra Harvest after that. Gonna be up late tonight :)
