What are you Drinking?

[Ed Anger]

Capri sun. Still tastes like shit.

I remember those days when you were desperate for something that wasn't water and raided the kids' drinks.

I still drink their juice boxes.  3am and I just had a Neurontin nightmare? Apple juice fits the bill.

Just as long as they have some left, I'm safe.

My in-laws are due in Sunday for "only three weeks", so I expect to be drinking heavily during that period.  I've given my liver a rest for the past few days in preparation.

This evening is set aside for this one.

Have you had it before?  I think I've seen at one place near my house.

Some greek pale ale called Septem. It's nice and bitter but has no aftertaste at all. A bit boring.

I was a little late in trying it, but I finally had the 2014 Cincinnati Beer Week collaboration beer.  It's an "Imperial Pilsner" and does succeed in being a stronger-tasting pilsner.  Not a fan, but I'm not a fan of the trend towards taking every beer style and making an "Imperial" version of it.  It particularly shouldn't have been done with a pilsner.  A pilsner should be light and subtle.  Not everything is better when you just amp up the strength.

No harm in experimenting, but you don't use an experimental beer for an occasion like this.  The 2013 collaboration was a Baltic Porter and 2012 was a very tasty Barleywine (of which I helped kill the last keg a couple weeks ago), both of which are solid beer styles.

Now I have 5 more of these things left from my 6-pack that I gotta try to pawn off on my friends...

Does Septem deviate from a traditional pale ale?

I'm afraid I don't get whatever it is you're getting at.

A deviated septum is when the cartilage in your nose is fucked up.

I am drinking a Coke Zero with some Sinfire (think Fireball, but less sweet and less syrupy). Delicious.

Shit beer geeks say.

Drinking the one & only North American Trappist beer, Spencer.  They just released it in the past couple of months and I was lucky to have a buddy of mine in Massachusetts bring some down.  Good stuff.  They're starting out on a probationary period of sorts and are only allowed to brew one type of beer for their first five years, a Belgian-style golden ale.

Had a bottle of wine.

[derspiess]

Shroominous by Blank Slate. Brown Ale brewed with shiitake mushrooms. They managed to pull it off.

[Habbaku]

My drink of choice these days is 2 shots of Fireball and a bottle of Angry Orchard over ice.
