    Re: EMERGENCY - I'm drinking and the old drinking thread is closed!

    On Friday I went looking for a Buffalo Sweat Vanilla Bean, but they didn't have any in the store. Time was short, so I just found something else. I ended up seeing Not Your Father's Root Beer by Small Town Brewery. It's an ale, 5.9% ABV, very sweet. Tasty stuff, tastes like a spiked root beer. I will say that if you're going to have one, have only one at a time because of the sweetness.

      The Vanilla Bean is seasonal, and usually sells out quickly. Have heard good things about that spiked root beer. If you like that, try Sprecher's Hard Root Beer. It's really dangerous as it tastes EXACTLY LIKE THEIR NORMAL ROOT BEER, which I only put behind 1919.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        Sprecher's has a HARD Root Beer? I must try that!

          That's disappointing the Vanilla Bean is seasonal. I've had it once and was really impressed, and I like regular Buffalo Sweat quite a bit. The one thing with Buffalo Sweat, however, is that you have to give it a few minutes to sit before drinking it. For whatever reason, it tastes better after giving it the time. I hear wines are like that, but I'm not a wine drinker.

            Lots of beers are made for "sitting" or sipping (for the darker beers, anway). A good strong, dark beer (let's just say a bomber of Dragon's Milk) will take me 60-90 minutes to drink. The taste changes as it warms closer to room temp, and it still is delicious. And yeah, it does stink about the VB. The first year, there was a shortage, as Buffalo Sweat severely underestimated how well the VB would sell. They've fixed it now, but still seasonal.

                      I love Dirty Bastard, and it's scary to think that might not even be in their top 5 offerings (excluding KBS because of the rarity).

                          Off the top of my head, the regular (or semi-regular) offerings of Founders:

                          Backwoods Bastard
                          Old Curmudgeon
                          Blushing Monk (it's more common than you think)
                          Breakfast Stout
                          Rubaeus

                          Edit: no particular order

                            Ended up buying a bottle of rum for the bar finally. Zaya 12 year old, from Trinidad and Tobago. Don't know if it supposed to be a good rum or not, but I'm tasting it for the first time tonight, and I like it, so...mission accomplished.

                              I can't recall if it was brought up, but since there was New Glarus talk a few pages back: I was starting to notice I hadn't seen Fat Squirrel in the stores for a while, and sure enough it's been "discontinued ". Presumably just long enough to make a McRib-like comeback, but that's what I thought they'd do with Edel Pils. I swear, NG just hates it when people enjoy their really good beer.

                              Meanwhile, tonight featured: Central Waters' Mudpuppy Porter, J Walker Black on the giant singular rock, a sidecar (Korbel and Grand Marnier) and a brandy old fashioned with a mix of Korbel and Door County Distillery 's Apple Brandy.

                              At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

                                I've seen Surly events at the liquor store. The place I went on Friday night had it as well (only the Furious).
