Yellowtail White Sangria + Bulleit. I had to improvise as the former is so nasty.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Bulleit will soon be distilled less than 5 miles from my house. :cool:

God help us, the pumpkin ales are upon us. Thankfully, so are the Oktoberfest/Märzens. Great Lakes Oktoberfest is absolutely superb this year (killed a growler Saturday) and this year's Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest is different, but amazing once you adjust to it.

I also had a German one that was surprisingly terrible: Mad King's Fest from Moosebach. It's really more of a Bock, and a nasty sour undercarbonated one at that. It is to be avoided.

Tried Cynar, another fine Gruppo Campari product, last night for the first time.

It's pretty good.  It can be drunk straight unlike Campari. :)

Tuella Douro DOC 2013 because any real red where I am now (Teutonia) is good enough. :)

I bought all the equipment to do all-grain brewing. It's time-consuming and a huge pain in the ass to deal with mashing and sparging, but there is something satisfying about starting with just grain and water and turning it into a sugary fermentable liquid. Whether or not it's worth the time and investment in equipment remains to be seen. I have a Porter in the secondary and a robust brown ale (really more of a Porter itself) in the primary.

But seriously, it's a pain in the ass to have to worry about mash temperature, efficiency, and all that.  If end up with better-tasting beer, it'll be worth it all though.

Princesca brought home a nice haul from work yesterday.  I finally got a bottle of Cabo Wabo, plus another (white) tequila I hadn't heard of before (Espolon).  Also there was a bottle of Wild Turkey Buckshot, another Italian bitter Campari owns, two bottles of Skyy, a bottle of Canadian whiskey, and some other crap.

Slow smoking a whole chicken over hickory on the BGE now.  Life is good. :cool:

You should visit Three Floyds if you happen to be on the ground near Munster during any of your Chicago escapades.  Go for the death metal, stay for the Robert the Bruce.
btw my new house is right near a badass liquor store (it's not especially big, but it's super funky in terms of selection) and they have Robert the Bruce there (by which I assume you mean the 3 Floyds brand right)?

Good stuff.  I'm not usually a Scotch Ale guy, but Three Floyds can make any style taste good.

I wish it was less hoppy, but that's just my personal preference.  Otherwise it's great.

Uhhhh...<words> then "Aecht O(S?)chlenterla Rauchbier (ges. gesch) weizen"?  Well it's a weizen.  Apparently from Brauerei Heller Bamberg?  The label around the neck says "Original Schlenkerla Smokebeer."  Smokebeer? Mer?  :unsure: I haven't tried it yet.  I'm just looking at it in the glass.

E: Holy christ it tastes like....well it tastes...smokey.  I assume this is why it's called a smokebeer.

E2:  Ah here it is, top label is in English on mine though:

Schlenkerla :mmm:

(Friends' parents are from Bamberg and occasionally bring bottles. And yeah, I do like Rauchbier.)

A lot of 'To Øl'. It was very good.
