I take it you have a warm weather vacation coming up? I was supposed to go on a cruise in March. Turns out it was the same exact Royal Caribbean ship that people are having the Out-both-ends ailment right now.

Right now, a glass of Graham's 2007 LBV port. Nothing special.

Brainless on peaches. Not quite what I thought it would be but still tasty. I had seen several things saying it was sour but I am getting more funk than sour

On the other hand they are taking severe measures to sanitize the entire ship.

It's decent. It's not as heavy as I thought it would be, which may be a disappointment. Not super sour either.

I go into it open minded. I'm not expecting sour because it's just sour cherries. I'm sure I'll enjoy it

Are you hunkered down at that hotel bar for the night, or do you want some recommendations on some good craft beer spots?

I am definitely open to any good craft beer recommendations you have. If I don't make it further than the bar tonight, I will have some time tomorrow.

Maybe if you call up and kindly 'express your concerns' you may get some money back. I am sure they are in damage control mode currently. Though I am not one to game the system.

Maybe I am an enabler, maybe I am a bad influence, but one glass won't bust your diet would it? If you want to kill a diet, hang out in the meat smoking section or the What are you cooking this weekend threads. If you havent been on a cruise yet, enjoy yourself. It is a great time.

I'll never give up weekday drinking. I workout too hard not to be able to treat myself to a beer or six on a weeknight. Summer is around the corner. Beer is not the problem - one's diet normally is. Stop slackin'.

Bottled my black ale. Time for another beer.

 

[Remmy]

thats not CT is it???!!?!??!

Yeah, it is. Only in the Valley, baby.

By the way, Welcome to the alchie thread and HBT.

Lindemann's Cuvee Rene Lambic

Because sours rock :rockin:

 

[Hello]

I have a bottle of that sitting in my cellar. Love a sour cherry Manhattan. Does it need age or drink it soon?

I had a bottle a few months ago. From what hello described I'd pretty spot on from what I experienced. I was hoping for more cherry flavor but it was almost non existent. Maybe some age will do it better. Bottles just sit on shelves here so I may grab another one to see if I have a different opinion.

I'd drink it now and grab one to cellar. I don't know if you'll get more cherry later but it's a super mellow imperial stout.

Feel free to post bikini pics. Just make sure you're holding a beer so it's topical.

Also, a big fan of the NOVA (not really but still kinda Metro-ish accessible) Mad Fox. Will second Pizza Paradiso and Meridian Pint. Need to make it to Smoke & Barrel and Black Squirrel. There is a bus from the U Street metro that gets into Adams Morgan.

A friends excellent iipa, doubly excellent as it's 9.6abv. Had a couple of days that remind me why I hate most people, but love the ones I love so much. Working on some recipes. East Tennessee clubs are getting together for a lager comp and I picked up a big jar of slurry from my local today. Baltic porter, CAP, and IPL are in the works.
