Who's drinking what tonight?

[rabbott5]

Bad day, nothing good, but not enough yet.

[mxvet57]

Mountain Dew. Straight up on the rocks.

[kendenton]

Did a little "Belgian Beer" tour in Philly this weekend.  Bottles included:

Petrus Pale Ale



Most definitely not my thing.  Very, very sour.

De Dolle Oerbier



Very tasty, 2nd favorite of the day

Potteloereke



Fantastic

Delirium Tremens



Can't go wrong with an old standby

[Hell's Bella]

They finally got Gulden Draak on tap at our local tavern (they've been waiting for it for a couple of months now)!!! W00t!

I think a short walk may be in order this evening.

[Open Sore]

Tonight I'll be finishing off the Red Stripes in the fridge during the NY Rangers game.

Last night (belated post), 2007 4 Vines Petite Sirah Paso Robles.   Oy vey, such yum.  I savored a glass one sip at a time, saving the rest for a repeat performance tonight.

Alas, the pitiable whimpering of unconsumed syrah keeps me awake. It is more humane, and much less stressful to simply finish it.
Much like "leftover" pie.

[stromgal]

   It was just as good (if not better) the second night!  So no whimpering was heard.

Back to plonk for this evening. I visited the chicken farm today and bought all kinds of parts to freeze; making turkey soup with good Polska noodles.

At the Spring Meet I had to disrespect a bottle of Westmalle Dubbel by drinking out of a styrofoam cup

Acceptable and appropriate for the occasion. You do what you gotta do in camp or hotel. I killed a bottle of Shiraz out of my coffee press.

I thought that was Lone Star.

[Kneescrubber]

I thought that was Lone Star.

They wish.  

[Cricket1]

They wish. 

Although I've not had Lone Star, none of the four Shiner varieties in their mixed 12 pack were any good. All were very average, nothing like a Great Lakes or Bells.

See my post titled "Crown". Started with my cheap fave Point Pale Ale and now having a few soothing shots of Grey Goose. (and I ain't much of a drinker!)
