What are you drinking now?

[WesleyS]

More Red Cockaded and a not so midnight snack. Andouille, bbq sauce, tortilla. Fantastic.

I'm a big Michigan football fan. I love Izzo and respect the MSU basketball program. I went to a Big East school with a lot of basketball tradition, but horrible recent success.

I was the same age as the Fab Five, and met more than one of them when I played HS ball. I think what went down at Michigan at that time is disgusting, and I do not believe for a minute that Fisher was not involved.

For sure he knew what was going on I agree to claim ignorance on his part is no excuse.

Pale ale from NoDa, Charlotte, NC...big can, big glass. Centennial, Simcoe, and Citra. 5.1%. Great aroma! Nice balance in the flavors.

Haha...I just realized how non cryptic my "...I met more than one..." statement was. Clearly, I met Weber and Rose...my "not naming names" thing doesn't much work when they were the only two from here and I said "more than one".

Can't help with this. But when I'm in FL, anything you want me to pick up?

 

[Ridire]

To light a cigar in the garage or not? Not sure the temp out there right now.

[tyzippers]

I survived the birthday/St. Paddy's day hangover. So I did what any of us fine, upstanding, completely logical individuals would do. I went out and got more beer. I ended up picking up a growler of Shiner Holiday Cheer.

Drinking a He'Brew Death of a Contract Brewer. Pretty solid black IPA methinks.

Two weeks. Jai Aila is very common there. No problem getting that.

You might be stuck with that, brotha. Just chug it.

Olotti has exercised his bad influence over me. Actually, my garage has been closed since 7:00pm and is probably 55°. Not bad.

How easily can you get Brewery Vivant? Kind of sparse here. I see a three way trade in the making

Tonight I'm drinking some Founder's "Dirty Bastard", and I have one Founder's "KBS".:cross:

Pretty easy for their reg production stuff, their triumph Belgium ipa, a farmhouse ale and a dubbel are pretty std here then we'll get their seasonals I'll have to go and see what that would b right now.

Marc asked if I could get Tart Side of the Moon. I've never seen any Vivant stuff over here. Is Tart Side tough to get over there?

There's a SC brewer Westbrook Brewing that makes a good gose, if you like the style, but I've heard it can be scarce. I just remembered that I picked up a Rye Pale Ale from a bottle shop recently by Westbrook...called "One Claw". No time like the present to pop it! I'm not really familiar with what rye brings to the party, but this is a solid pale ale. Great resinous aroma and flavor, a little bitter on the finish, but not harsh. According to their website, they have a wide variety of beers. Might be worth trying anythng from them...a quick Google looks like they have distribution in Myrtle Beach.

 

[olotti]

Yeah it came out like 3 maybe 4 months ago was gone pretty fast and I haven't seen any since. Sorry.

I'll look into their website thanks for the heads up. I think I've seen others here drinking Westbrook stuff. I'm open to try anything new. Expanding horizons

Sorry didn't hit the quote but it came out like 3-4 months ago as a special release and was gone pretty fast. I can check just in case theirs some hiding but my regular spots haven't had it in awhile, it went pretty fast.

If you like cigars and get to the Tampa area, check out Ybor city...if you haven't already. And while there, check out Coppertail Brewing...their Night Swim Porter is really good. I was there this past December and someone here recommended it. Next time...I going to stop by their brewery in Ybor.

Thanks. But won't get anywhere near Tampa this trip.

Still drinking Norm! Like a champ. Any out of state folks realize any trade with me involves Norm, right? Norm has to be known.

I see there's some interest! Wes, maybe you could hook me up with some JK. That would clearly be a straight up trade!

Well, the sample tasted decent at the bottle shop...and there's a chance that I was still hungover from the birthday drunk. Also, my dog ate my homework. Do I need more excuses?
