I had a Cosmo last time I was in a gay bar.

I had a gin-and-tonic the last time I was at a true gay bar...two summers ago I guess.

I had a Vodka Coke and then a Bud Light on Saturday when at the gay bars.

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

My wife really wanted the growler so she could re-use the bottle. I admit it's a good one. They put a seal on it so we could drive away with it though.

She'll put olive oil or something in it probably.

I have so many damned growlers, my wife is threatening to throw them out.  That would require her to put something in the garbage/recycling, though, which she is apparently incapable of doing.

Sweetwater Brewing in Atlanta is expanding into Ohio soon.  Oddly enough, one of the brewers at my favorite local brewery recently left to go work for them.

Zanza



It's wheat beer mixed with grapefruit juice at 2.5% alcohol. Perfect for a hot summer evening after running about 5 miles.   :mmm:

That's considered a radler, right?

I brewed a hefeweizen this past Saturday and used Weihenstephaner liquid yeast that comes in a "smack pack" where you can give the yeast a head start with some nutrients by rupturing the nutrient packet inside the sealed pouch.  I saw bubbles coming out of the airlock 3 hours after I sealed the fermenter, and then yesterday the yeast were happily burping a steady stream of CO2 bubbles.

I plan to take half of it and bottle it as a standard hefeweizen, and add some raspberry puree to the other half to make the long anticipated Razgovory Wheat.

Speesh: what do you think of Glaurus?  I tried the Scottish ale (not my favorite type of beer) and drank the unfiltered Spotted Cow, which was OK.

New Glarus is a solid brewery.  I haven't had all their beers but the Spotted Cow is my favorite.  I haven't had their Scottish ale, but I'm not a big fan of them either.

I found a Pabst Blue Ribbon on the shelve at the supermarket today and had to try it. It's very refreshing in this heatwave we're having at the moment, but blander than most beers, even the other stock American's I've tried.

Strange.  I'd say PBR has a much stronger taste than Millerbud.

Traditional Radler (or Alsterwasser as it's called up North) is usually 50/50 beer and lemonade. But non-lemon varieties have been around for a couple of years now.

I had a hankering for some amaretto last week, so I got some Amaretto. Been having it with diet coke and rum.  Good combo.
PDH!

Had a Triple IPA with a purported 420 IBU and 11% ABV. Tasty for the first few sips but a full one just feels a bit much.
