Oh, cool-- they're making that again.

I like the change from "standard" winter beers.

Pouring myself a couple of glasses of Black and Tan Half and Half, with the Magic Hat stout as one half.  I haven't liked any Magic Hat beer I can remember trying, but this was the only stout in the supermarket that wasn't imported, and it's pretty good.  :bowler:  "English"-style, as opposed to the Guinness-type...

Now I'm having a glass of my tinto de verano (en otoño, verdad.) :)  Which everyone insists on calling a "wine cooler."  :rolleyes:

Bring back Zima.

:lol:

When I was in college Zima was still in limited release.  My roommate found a DIY recipe for Zima on Usenet called Zewma; which was equal parts Mountain Dew and Coors.  We got a 40 of Coors and a 2 liter of Mountain Dew and tried it.  It wasn't as vile as it sounds.  It didn't taste like Zima, it tasted like Mountain Dew and Coors together at the same time as two distinct tastes; similar to the way oil and vinegar interact.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

A cheap-ass Malbec. Definitely doing the trick. :thumbsup:

I always wanted to like Magic Hat but never had anything I particularly liked.  I worked with a guy who had been in their senior management (and I believe went back) who always evangelized their stuff.  But when their distribution made it to Ohio I was less than impressed with it.  I'm guessing they were originally pretty decent but expanded production at the expense of quality.

Last night I had the seasons first Frambozen from New Belgium.  Always limited release, always good.

Coffee.  Mostly decaf (3/4 of the cup) and only one cup these days.  Sigh.

Nice.  It's officially less than a month before New Belgium is available in Ohio.  We're the only "new" state that doesn't have to wait until their new facility in NC starts up production :)

It is only 60 miles to the New Belgium Brewery.  Of course, it is in the heart of evil, Fort Collins, Colorado (home of the worst university in the world, Colorado State University).  Still, they can be forgiven that because they make good stuff.

It's what I've had to resort to as well.

Though I can at least take a second cup in the afternoon.

Admiral Someone rum and ginger ale. Lots of the rum and rather less of the ale.
PDH!
