Too much!
Coffee.
I like many, if not most of the New Belgium brews I have tried, but I have never understood how Fat Tire (the least appealing beer they brew IMHO) became their flagship brew.
If youi like lambics, New Belgium does a great job on a dark kriek (cherry) which is up there with some of the actual Belgian krieks that I have tried…
And you’re not sharing the recipe? That’s really sad.
Finishing off a cup of Upton Tea’s “Earl Grey Supreme.” Quite lovely.
Some tasty spinal fluid.
Polar Cranberry Lime Seltzer. Mmm. From the bottle.
I wish we could get New Belgium over here…
Anyway, I’m currently drinking Troeg’s Java Head. It’s a stout brewed with coffee, and tastes nothing like what I thought it would. It’s okay.
Before that, it was 21st Amendment’s Fireside Chat, a “spiced winter ale”. Outrageously good.
It’s morning tea time, and I’ve just had a cup of English breakfast tea.
6:25pm local time, and I am drinking a nice 2008 Sangiovese from Di Majo Norante
Skyy vodka and Roses lime.
Cheap vodka, and good ginger ale.
Black cherry sparkling water.
loshan’s Key Lime Pie Martini
2 oz stoli vanilla vodka
2 tbsp simple syrup
1 oz pineapple juice
1 oz lime juice
splash of half and half
shake with ice, strain and enjoy 
A whole bottle? :eek:
Monday morning here, and since I’m home alone at the moment, I’m making do with Moccona Select instant coffee. We usually save the drip for joint coffee-drinking sessions.
Maker’s Mark 46
I’ve never had a desire to try vanilla vodka, but that sounds tasty.
Sam Adam’s Black Lager.
milk with ginger snaps dunked.
And by “Budweiser,” I mean my “everyday, drinkable beer.”
Now, before anyone gets persnickity over my overuse of cites, I’m forestalling the inevitable tide of beer snobs who will descend to tell me my taste in beer is one step below skunk piss for choosing such a mass-produced generic-market swill to drink.
They will hold forth on the merits of numerous micro and craft brews which are infinitely superior to the ambrosia of the Ancient Gods, and if a stoopid neandethal such as myself would simply elevate myself from such bourgeois mendacity to try any of these (almost entirely unavailable to me locally) Beverages of Greater Beings, then I would promptly pour my mass-produced swill down the toilet (a far better fate than it deserves!) and forever adhere to their choice of suds.
But they will have overlooked my general point: this is my “Budweiser.” It’s my everyday, go-to, affordable, drinkable, available beer.
Not the specialty craft-brew or import I select when I want a “cut above.” Not the locally made, award-winning stuff I trot out to impress family and friends with my “refined, sophisticated palate.” :rolleyes: yeah right, go ahead and pull the other one
