Which did you prefer?

I was drinking Eagle Rare during the early 80's at Tavern and Top Deck. Have not had in years.

Small batch was kinda new then. i guess I should try ER again.

Both really good. Probably the ER but not by much

After finishing my shift at Amazon at 5:30am and taking a shower/shave, by 7am this morning I had (2) Church Music IPA beers with a single shot of Jameson's, a cheap Red wine to go with my early morning burger and tater tots, then a Tito's with grapefruit to finish off my meal.

Now I'm at work selling software for my day job......lol

First time I ever had one of these---finished one off with large single ice cube during my late lunch. It had an instant caramel first taste but dissipated quick. A little stronger flavor and alcohol taste than I'm used to with Maccallen 12 or Oban 14 but it was fine

I'm just not a rye fan. I've tried to become more into it, just not my thing.

I do have a bottle of Glenmorangie Signet I got for Xmas that I need to open but i'm saving it for …..some reason.

Sazerac Rye is lovely. So is Knob Creek Rye.

Gotta like a hot finish to like Rye.

I've been on a Blue Chair Bay coconut rum binge this week.

Vodka and lime, no idea why I am on this kick but I have been for a bit.

It's a summer drink. Treat yo'self.

Friends dinner at a local BYOB restaurant (last night).

Bottle on right end?


I bought a nice supply of Eagle Rare tonight.

JAMESON IRISH WHISKEY on the rocks with a splash of Dr. Pepper

Slumming it and drinking Guinness.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DR. Pepper?

Crown and Coke here.

Makers

Thats a nice haul. I have no desire to move to the Chicago area but I love the idea of having access to exceptional beer.


I brew some really good beer so it helps but like a sandwich, you always like something prepared by someone else.

Chicago is awesome if it weren’t so damn cold half the year I’d live there


And I’m slum ville tonight having a miller lite

How was the BKS? How was the Dawg single barrel beer?

Sipped on the Rare Eagle, very nice for the $20 price.

It'a a 2018 Transient Bark Lord. It's still an adjunct beast. I'd like to try it again in 5 years or so to see how it's mellowed.

We're pretty spoiled here, not only for the locals but the distribution footprint. Just due to the sheer market size and amount of great, assessable beers, Chicago doesn't get hyped as much as STL, Florida, California, or New England. I'd say the only hole in our game right now are consistently good wild/sours.

BKS was great as usual. I love how clean and non-fussy his sours are. Thanks for sending it!. The Dawg was diabeetus greatness. Standouts of night for me was the Allagash Coolship Red. It comes very close to JK Atrial which is an all time favorite of mine. I also brought the Modem Tones Date Shake which is amazing. Modern Times has probably my favorite barrel program going right now. They're all great and produced at a level that most are fairly easy to acquire.

I'm currently enjoying the single greatest beer ever made

Its called "Kind of Blueberry" and is made by Old Bakery Brewing in Alton, Il

Spent the weekend down there last week and this place was definitely one of the highlights... this beer is so sublime I can hardly describe it, you immediately get the very strong scent of blueberries, but the taste isnt as strong, its just absolutely perfect

We tried over half their beer menu and it was all incredible, but the blueberry takes the cake

Are you sure you're drinking a beer and not at a Yankee Candle event surrounded by women? :eek:

Trust me, it was freaking delicious... a craft brewed masterpiece

The protective effect of anthocyanins extract of blueberry ale on trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is only a study, not for recreational use

Leinenkugel grapefruit shandy never had before but its very refreshing after a hot ass day.

My wife had friends over last weekend they left four bottles in the fridge so im taking them out one by one. Id probably buy this again good summer beer.

16oz Busch.

Pretty tasty beer. Having a couple while outside on this humid, swampy June day. I will follow this up with a vodka/limeade and a lot of Busch Lights.

Yeah I really like that one. I've tried a bunch of grapefruit type beers because I love the flavor, but that one is about the best in terms of drinkability that I've found.

Open throat,

pour

Just realized I haven't had any alcohol in 17 months. January 28 2018.

You guys have one for me.

Sailor jerrys

Do we congratulate you on 17 months sobriety or feel bad for you for 17 months of no alcohol? :hmmm:

I can swing either way as I'm biholic. :D

Court ordered sobriety isa bitch, just ask Rouser///ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL

Haha. Congratulate me on my sobriety. I've met my lifetime quota for booze.

Budweiser, the King of Beers

You are a flaming ****ing mess with a drinking problem.

Appleton and ginger.

12oz of icy cold Busch.

is my ex there?

Pot meet kettle

Smirnoff with ice and a squeeze of lime wedge...

Crown apple with Coke zero while watching the Toyals get waxed

Scotch ale 11%

Simply Limeade and vodka. Nice when it's hotter than the devil's taint outside.

This and its fan****ing tastic.

Perfect for those days when your balls stick to your leg because of the humidity and heat

that's what the other guy's who went to the head drink is for.:D:D:D:D

Imma eat u alive starting at your asshole

I have a stunt double who is grinning his ass off in anticipation. "Buddy, I told you he go for it, hide the book.

Finally on vacation. In Maui.

What is that inmem?

It’s called a tiki mango flow, made with rum.

It’s a girly drink, but they are strong and good.

Dude I drink double cherry vodka and monster...

That looks good

:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

Day drinking 17% double bourbon barrel aged barleywines on a 100 degree day because they're that good, Reek good, and I'm trying to maintain my spot on Lew's alpha list.

Finna take a short nap right quick though.

I figure it's fine to drink girly drinks if you can see the ocean.

Where are the candid shots of the women er, uh, women's drinks?

I think I'm gonna order some rajika off the internet. Is ordering booze of the internet sketchy? I thought it was illegal in Kansas.

Ezra Brooks barrel strength (117 proof) 7 year old properly named as Old Ezra.

Not breaking into it' til the sun sets, but hoping it is a decent swill. It was a gift and it's sold out from EB store. I had never seen a bottle.

:clap::clap::clap:

Nice drink. :clap:

Here. :shrug:

Can't ship it in or out of IN. or KS

Wine; Both KS and IN require direct wine seller’s permit and restrict sale in state and have set volumes

Rogue sends me magnum bottles with brewery data all over the box.every year before the holidays. thumbing their nose at IN law.

Nice snag!

Heard it’s good but have never had. Hard to find here.

Your best post ever.

Alpha status confirmed!

I'm drinking a vodka/monster punch/oj/lemon juice concoction. You know I'm throwing back them Buuuuschies in between.

Top-Have not had.

Jefferson's- Heard it's good but depends on price.


Merica-----Absolute trash. Avoid at all costs.

I have 11 bottles of Eagle Rare, non of the above had me reaching for them. what I'm looking for a "quantity" Bourbon, something that is tolerable to serve neat or rocks and cheap enough to pour 8 drinks with mixers and not get snide comments about being cheap.

I think I am torn between Ezra and Evan for 1.75 bottles at $25.

I’ve been drinking Old Fashioned's lately.

I love Eagle Rare.

Evan Williams is my go to cheap bourbon. Love the green label but can rarely find it. So black label is my go-to. It's fantastic for making drinks for people. And under $20 for a 1.75L.

There are various twits in how people are making these now. What's your recipe? What kind of bourbon?

23 to 25 here.

Weird. I can get 1.75 of Evan for about $18-19 and the Ezra would be $25-26 here.

Let me know how that 7 year Ezra is. I'd like to find one here if it's worth it.

Shit--need something strong. Wandered into the Washington DC lounge for the first time. Holy crap, I won't make that mistake again. Weird folks over there. I'm a Captain Morgan's guys, so I'll have to wait as the cabinet is empty. I'll get back to you guys.

My brother absolutely loves Luxco of St lou bourbon brands. I have had this like it pretty well but comes at a price. He can get those owning his own construction company. Do you like licorice as it has a hint of licorice and vanilla. Its a bit harsh if you like your bourbon neat. Brother tames it with a few drops of purified water. Ezra Brooks is a pretty nice 20 dollar bottle. Rebel Yell up the anti a bit in the 40s or splurge on Blood Oath pact 5 thats the real good stuff.

Or if your just after the buzz Luxco's frat party fav 160 proof everclear:D
