What are you drinking, right now? - Page 57

an apres ski Keith's India Pale Ale.

Wiped out on what was likely the last run of the season (I knew the lift was closed), fellow I was bombing the hill with zigged when I thought he was going to zag.  I avoided hitting him, but failed to recover balance in time to avoid hitting the snow.  Ribs a little bruised, slight raspberry on forearm.  I think that's a good excuse to have another.

I'll bring a little something special to Abasin for you. 

 

I enjoyed a couple of pints of Flying Dog Garde Dog while watching the SEC championship game today.  The beer was better than the outcome.

Tonight it's more Troeg's Troegenator. It's good but I am ready to get something different on tap.

2009 Chateau Meric Medoc

 

Just once I can diverge from my usual beer-whiskey (or vodka) routine after snowing and blowing day on the hill...

Now there is one you don't often hear.

 

 

I got 3 of those given to me last week (drank one so far, really liked it). Interesting that the ones I got had a wire secured mushroom cork, and seem to be the exact same bottle otherwise. Regional?

Cork in a twelve ounce?

Oops, damn iPhones! (does the fingers apart gesture until can read the label, didn't even know they were sold in 12 oz bottles, Mabye that is a regional difference). Carry on.

Correct. The bigger bottles are corked; the smaller ones have your typical bottle cap.

341 ml to be precise, about 11.5 fl. oz. 

Cup of coffee made from fresh ground beans from the Burr Grinder we got for a wedding present......Mmmmmmmmm

 

 

Widmer Imperial IPA, Widmer Nut Brown Ale, and Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale while watching WKU come from behind to win the first NCAA tournament game.

I always preferred Kentucky bourbon to TN.  Must be because my dad was from Shelbyville

I was thinking about this earlier ... had  "Big Sky Lemonade" at Ted's (Jim Beam, Cointreau, lemonade) so I came home and made my own concoction with Buffalo Trace, Grand Marnier, two lemons, and simple syrup. Not bad. 

Russian Standard

Both my wife and I were born and raised in Kentucky and I'm not really sure you can call that stuff from Tennessee whiskey.

Tullamore Dew with a Guinness chaser.  mmmm good for you, and it turns ye shirt green!

My last can of Six Point Resin.....but I will be buying more when I get home for Utah.

St. Bernardus Prior 8 Belgian Dubbel. Very tasty. Bonus points for Happy Monk on Label.

 

I'm enjoying some High West Double Rye after a great day powder skiing at Pow Mow.

La Lousianne

 

1 part Rye Wiskey (Rittenhouse 100 proof)

1 part Sweet Vermouth (Punt e Mes)

1 part Benedictine

3 dashes Pastis

3 dashes Peychauds Bitters

 

stir over ice and serve in martini glass.

Oh, I'm saving this one. We even have all those ingredients, including Punt e Mes, but I think B&B instead of Bénédictine. 

 

That was fast! :-)

Mount Gay Rum, Eclipse Black, 100 Proof.

Much smoother than I thought it would be.  It's good straight up.  Tonight, since I happen to have some Cocacola left over I'm trying it in a rum and coke.  Not bad that way either.

 

I am working on cleaning out the fridge to make room for new seasonal brews so tonight it's Yuengling Bock.

Coffee: Caribou Blend from the Keurig.
