I think I may have converted a scotch drinker to bourbon.

So I finally made it out to Cincinnati's newest brewery last night-- a place called Rhinegeist (it's in Over the Rhine, hence the name).  They had an event for an Imperial IPA ("Sabre Tooth Tiger") they were tapping.  They had hyped it up over the past few weeks, and made you buy $10 tickets to get in (which got you a beer and a glass to keep, which is a fair price).  It lived up to most of the hype.  But their regular IPA, which is called "Truth", is much better.  They have a nice hoppy wheat beer, a golden ale which is very malty, and a pretty nice English session-type ale.

They're located in what was once the Christian Moerlein bottling facility, which is a fantastic atmosphere.  Their logo & branding are excellent IMO.  Check out the tap handles:

 

The half-growler looks like some old-style medicine bottle with their logo:

I had a daiquiri.  It was the kind Hemingway had in Cuba.  The kind with lime and rum and sugar.  It was good, but I didn't want another.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Lilja's Pulling Boat Pale Ale.  Brewed in Wisconsin & has some sort of Norwegian connection.  Funky aftertaste but pretty tasty.

I got a couple of six packs of Goose Island 312 and Honker's Ale.  The 312 is what I drink at the bar I hit up on Fridays for Jeep weirdo happy hour, but the Honker's Ale is something I'd never had until tonight.  Like em both.

Had a Snow Cone yesterday.  Girly, but damn, there's a bunch of liquor in that sucker.  Pucker, rum, vodka, blue Curaçao...

Also, I love that Dave & Buster's mixes their drinks strong, as opposed to shit chains like Applebee's, where the stuff's so watered down that I'd have to drink a pitcher before getting tipsy. :angry:

Saw a pile of these on crazy-sale in the supermarket, and we had to have them. It was glorious.

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

Tasted a bunch of stuff I couldn't normally afford to buy: an Hermitage from Chapoutier, a Meursault Charmes premier cru, a Giacosa Barberesco, a Barolo from Aldo Conterno, Pontet Canet 2009 (highly rated but plainly not ready to drink), also a Ramey Chardonnary which is in my price range but not really my bag.  Also tried part of the Heidsieck range; actually preferred the non-vintage Charles Heidsieck to the super-duper $175 tete de cuvee so I picked up a bottle of the NV.  BTW garbon, that's champagne.
Also bought 6 bottles of Chateau d'Aulee Cremant de Loire.  That's sparkling Chenin Blanc (+20% Chard).  Not champagne.
