Had, among other things (beer and wine), hot coffee with Bailey's at a wedding tonight.

bought a six of these over the weekend KONA : FIRE ROCK PALE ALE

Very smooth with a surprisingly heavy malty side for a pale ale.

The two best blonde ales I've ever tasted are

Orval Trappist

breaking up my "no beer during the week" ......just because :D

Just finished off a bottle of cheap Asti mixed with OJ.
I can't feel my toes.

take your shoes off first.



i've been to 2 weddings in a fortnight, i don't think i've drunk that much in years. asian weddings are great - they just kept bringing bottles of whisky to the table.

I drank some Duvel's on Friday night along with some grolsch, tried a lone star yesterday, followed that with some german beer called finkbrau and then some San Miguels... Then I went for some red wine from Argentina as I was making a pasta sauce.

Fuck Mondays!

So, Saturday night I went out drinking with a couple of female friends...wasn't planning to drink, so I didn't get out to buy anything of my own - therefore I was stuck with woman drinks:

And a bunch of Raspberry Sour Puss, plus some other kind of flavoured rum (not sure what it was exactly).

I learned a very valuable lesson that night: even though they might not pack much of a kick and you hardly even know you're drinking...if you down as much as I did, you still get fucking plastered. I'm talking like, passed out on the lawn, parents dragging you inside, can hardly function the next day kind of drunk. Was NOT a good time.

god - not the cheap ass religious ones i went to.

most were dry.

i went to one that actually had a bar (i was the only white guy there) and finally said screw it - i'm getting a beer half way through the night - the bar tender told me i was the only guy to have gotten a drink.

I think those were flukes zwoti.

well the first (work associate and ex-member of hdc) was a "normal" wedding, so we had to pay for the drinks....that cost a lot.

the second (work colleague) was the asian wedding, the only drink i had to pay for was the one in the hotel beforehand while waiting for it to start.

Dos Equis lager especial
3 down 3 to go:cool:

Arrogant Bastard

Stopped into a new microbrewery that just opened up here in town ("Big Tide Brewery") and tried their Hemp Pale Ale. It was a nice brew - the people I was with were pretty impressed - but it was a little bitter for my personal tastes. Still, pretty cool to have a place like this around...I'll be checking out their other brews in the near future.

Disease - you should be on this:

I had one once, it made be feel a bit crook, it wasn't very cold and it was my first beer of the night, %12 I think it is....

I just upgraded myself to this anyway....

Someone REALLY should have told me Absinthe tastes like black licorice.
I hate black licorice.
Man, I feel like a tool.

Just had a beer called Dragonbreath. It's a dark hefeweizen, a bit odd but really good. I also discovered a beer called Nine Pound porter, it's a bit spicy and really really good.

I also bought my girlfriend a nice bottle of white wine from a local vineyard. Normally I don't like white wine that much but these guys know what their doing. I'm stopping in there next week for a free wine tasting.

If you get a chance try some moscato d'asti
Don't think I've tried a brand so far that sux.
It's light, white, sweet and sparkly

Hmm, this new wine has given me hope for white wine so I think I'll check that out. I'm more of a sangria and chianti guy myself, I like them a bit dry.

Don't drink Sambuca then..........

I had this drink once called a brain hemorrhage....I swear it LOOKED like one and went down like phlem...mostly tasted like black licorice..* shudder *.



Right now:
drinking Captain Morgan Private Stock with coke..mmmbaby:cool:

Weird I thought Absinthe tased like insanely strong mouthwash.

Drank some Hoegaardens last night. I'll have to do it more often I forgot how much I liked this beer. Pretty expensive over here but thats all good if you only feel like drinking a few beers. Been into "quality over quantity" lately :D

Does it make a difference if you don't strain the water over a sugar cube?
I couldn't find sugar cubes...do they even make the damn things anymore??

Anyway, mouthwash doesn't sound any better...:(

im a fan of cheap beer. 40s for me. big bear and steelies.
but im a huge fan of Everclear and apple cider boiled together. warm apple pie. mm mm good. gets you set and tastes amazing.
but im a bud man mostly.

Drink of choice for the evening:

Never tried it before, hope it's decent. I've mostly been drinking Pump House lately - great stuff, try it if you can - but now that I've moved I can't find it anywhere. Seems it's more regional than I though, which is a real shame.

At this moment I am enjoying a double shot of Jack Daniels and Sprite on the rocks.....aahhhh, nice and refreshing

Last night:

If you guys run into these give 'em a try one of my favorite beers.

Friday night here....banging back a few of these while browsing the net and watching a Deep Purple concert on The Big Screen.


talk about multi-tasking :D

I may need to make a quick run to the liquor store....I feel like a Jack Daniels and Sprite. I have plenty of Sprite and NO Jack!!!!! This BLOWS!!!! :(

Ordered Chinese take-out 45 minutes ago and the're still not here :mad:
Where'd they go, Shanghai to pick it up, I'm fucking starving over here!! :mad:

and you'll be hungry an hour after you eat it too. :D


screw the food........go for the JACK


reminds me of an AC/DC song

The last of the Sam Adams Summer Ale...ah well, there's always next year....
