The 'Anyone Else Drinkin'?' Thread...

Two Hoegaardens and a Guiness tonight. That Hoegaarden is some tasty business, but I feel like a total pussy when the bartender puts an orange slice on the rim of my beer...

I wish bartenders would have the decency to ask before applying fruit to beers.

Meanwhile, I made a christmas variation of the vodka grasshopper last night - equal parts vanilla vodka, creme de menthe, and egg nog, shaken with ice and served in a martini glass. A dessert drink for sure, but with some punch.

Ah yes, quite the predicament.  I questioned myself numerous times drinking Blue Moon with an orange while in your country.  Rickard's White gets the orange up here, only if I'm drinking it in a bottle (where it can be stuck in secretly).

Ive never seen Hoegaarden garnished with an orange  :-?

Yeah, Blue Moon is a Belgian (made by Coors  :D), but there are different variations of Belgian Beers. Hoegaarden should not be drank with an orange. What type of establishment does this? Also, did you squeeze the orange/put it in the beer?

Also, I liked the Miller Lite man-law commercials where 1 was dont fruit the beer. I myself am perfectly fine with fruiting the beer/drink in 2 instances.

1: Orange with a Blue Moon. I can drink it either way, but if I have it wth an orange, ill just squeeze it. I dont put it actually in the beer though, because thats too much orange flavor. And no matter what youve heard or whatever anyone tells you, never use a lemon in place of an orange. All you can taste is lemon then.

2: Lime with a Corona. I prefer Corona Light because you get more of the lime flavor with your cerveza, and I drink enough beer that saving 100 calories and whatnot for each 1 is probably better for me. Anyway, can you really drink a Corona without a lime?!  :D

Any other fruiting than that and yous is a pussy  ;D

I liked those commercials too... but then Miller forgot their own rules and went on to release Miller Chill. I tried it once and thought it was one of the worst things I have ever put in my mouth.

Picked up a 4 pack of Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA and in a sixer of Hazed and Infused, in honor of Dylan.

Nice, man.  Cheers!  Definitely let me know what you think.

Will do.  I'm saving the Hazed for Saturday.  Just poured one of the Dogfish Imperials.  And is hopppppppy, but very good.

See folks! Seriously! Even the Japanian knows this!

It's serously good shit, reminded me of the Tripel Karmeleit in certain ways that I hadn't tasted before (this was my first experience with it on draught). But seriously, I didn't understand the orange. I just pulled it right off and put it on my napkin right in front of him the first time he did it. The second one I figured I'd see what he was about and squeezed a little bit into the top, and it didn't do shit for it. Tasted a little orangey for the first couple sips and then nothing. Would've been just fine without it. Probably preferable. I think the guy was trying to make me feel like a wuss for ordering a pretty fragrant wheat beer? Suck a dick, bartender. I ordered a Guinness in the middle just to make sure he didn't think I was some pansy with a moustache. Seriously, these handlebars spell "TROUBLE", you sonuvabitch.

Yeah I normally do not want any citrus fruit anywhere near my beer, ale, stout, porter, or any other malted beverage.

Yeah Tom, that stash does spell trouble. Remind me to not get in a poker match with you as you look like the type to bust out with a hand of 5 aces.

Man, I went into my first poker game for money the other day and came out the winningest with a solid $15 at the end of it. Not bad. $5 buy-in. I think I did alright. All from the kid with the cheat sheet written down on a paper plate. I drew a nice juicy penis on the other side to give everybody something to look at while I was figuring out how to screw them over with my new-found God-given poker skills.

Seriously though, I'm insisting on no orange in my Hoegaarden next week. I love that stuff, though.

dont worry, i didn't pay for it

I couldn't wait for Saturday, Dylan.  Had a few Hazed & Infused tonight while watching the Chargers and Raiders.  Smoooooth brew.  I like it a lot.  I'll definitely get some more.

Side note, anyone try the Budweiser American Ale yet?  I kind of dig it.  I've been keeping it as my backup when I run out of craft beers.  Which has been a lot, lately.   :-/

Once again, this thread is too big.  It says JonT posted but I won't be able to see it until I post this message.  You should start a new thread, DB.

I can't make myself buy that "american ale" especially knowing Bud is no longer an American company.  I'm glad you're digging the hazed and infused.  Boulder brewing co has a lot of good shit.  try the sweatty beatty in the summer.
