It's the Japanese way of consuming cheap blended scotch.

Bourbon & Sprecher root beer.

Trust me on this.

[davy]

What's not to trust?

I actually had a Bulleit root beer float a couple weeks ago that knocked me on my ass. Most delicious.

[Antero]

Michelada: Juice of a whole lime, hefty dash Angostura, quite a lot of Sriracha sauce, dash soy sauce, and a bottle of Brooklyn Lager.  Glass rimmed with salt and shichimi togarashi.

I KNOW THAT SHIT FROM EIGHT DAYS AGO IT IS DELICIOUS YESSSS

Way different recipe, but you are my dogg now, Antero. This is the first time I remember getting down with your ideas in this thread.

Tried to get my brother in his capacity as a bartender, to make me them but he refused out of it being too much work for something I wasn't really gonna pay for. He was also mad that I did not drink Dos Equis exclusively on a vacation.

shichimi togarashi.

I've never had that, but was thinking about picking some up after I saw it used in this jawsome-looking recipe that includes a tempura poached egg.

A michelada is delicious regardless of recipe, really.  Salt, sour, spice, beer.

I been dropping mad drink wisdom, though

my apartment is too warm to drink anything served up.    All on ice for a while.

shichimi togarashi.

That looks tasty as fuck.

shichimi is great stuff.  Quite spicy, no salt, umami all up in your face.

I had the worst beer I've ever tasted in Put-in-Bay on Friday. It was a watermelon wheat. I saw "wheat" on the tap handle, shouted and pointed, and then nearly retched when I smelled it. I managed two sips, set it down and left the bar. I tasted that rancid, flowery, artificial watermelon-flavoring agent every time I belched for the next 24 hours, swear to christ.

Also, I made a GIF at the bar tonight!


This GIF Shop app seems like it might could be the bomb diggity.

Huh! I would probably try this, but maybe not with Brooklyn Lager. There's this Great Divide lager called Hoss I've been drinking a lot recently; I wonder if the rye in it would be complementary.

Was it this one?



It's insanely popular down here right now, but I was pretty disappointed with it. Worst beer I've ever tasted? Nah, but it was bad enough.

[elpollodiablo]

No, this was nowhere near as good as any of the bullshit canned stuff 21st Amendment makes. It was some probably extract-based "pub brew" that someone had dosed with flavoring approximately like that of watermelon bubblegum.

I recall Hoss being pretty sweet/malty, so I don't think it would.  Brooklyn Lager is actually heavier than I'd prefer, but it was what I had on hand.

I have been working at a really nice cafe for several hours now and am running out of steam. My lady--who adds much pleasure to my life but might not, strictly speaking, always amount to what consensus values would term a good influence--keeps suggesting I go to this bar next door that she loves, probably so she can live vicariously through me.

I do not envision this contributing to a fruitful late-afternoon, but as I sit here working through various documents, I do keep thinking how nice a dark and stormy would be right about now. 

[peacocks]

it's just one drink, adf. it's juuuust oooonnne drriiiiiiiink.

[Antero]

And then the drink is like "I am lonely in your belly adf!  I need a friend!"

[auto-da-fey]

yeah, this was a good call. laptop on counter, notepad whipped out, drink half gone already. I look like a total dork here among the hepcats who populate Philly's Northern Liberties, but fuck it, I'm drinking and writing and that's that.

[peacocks]

Doing work at a bar is fun. I have suprising focus when I don't feel I need to focus!

[jess]

I won 4 4-packs of Sixpoint Beer thanks to being able to correctly identify a pepper plant: http://lunchatsixpoint.com/2011/07/15/name-that-plant-week-5-2/

Best winning of stuff ever, at least for me.

I have had a number of glasses of wine tonight.

My inhibitions feel vague & unimportant.

[mixed cats]

The wedding I was at featured home-brewed beer and mead. I expected to hate the mead. I did not.

[peacocks]

don't sneak red wine into a movie theater. it smells and sometimes gets in your purse.

[Ignatius]

My theater permits any outside food as long as it doesn't smell so much that it bugs other people. Also no glass bottles.

[Antero]

Will this handle of bourbon disappear before I take the bar exam?  LET'S FIND OUT

[cold before sunrise]

Make dinner for friends, tell them to bring booze, and then kick them out before the trains stop running. You made them a nice meal, you are getting you drunk, everybody's satisfied.
