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

    Got a 4 pack of a new Trillium-Omnipollo collab, Covered in Puppies, today. Didn’t even have to wait in line (cause my wife did). My office used to be a building away from Trillium, before they opened, or else I’d be dead. Now I have to settle for being 25 minutes away. And an hour from Tree House. Life is hard.

      Wife Mule!

      Omnipollo is a little underrated, IMO. I know bbdl was recently at the source. Lucky bastige.

      And as far as waiting in line for beer, with the right crowd it is very fun. A giant tailgate and people bring out some whales at times, or at least shelfie whales.*

      *Whale: stuff that lasts about 2 hours at stores, if that, or brewery-release-only beers.


      Shelfie: you can find anywhere.
      Shelfie Whale: stuff that will be around for about a week or two, then POOF it's suddenly gone.


      Edit: this last Darkness Eve, someone brought a keg (yes a keg) of Revolution Straight Jacket BA Barleywine (they are based in Chicago, AFAIK can't get Revolution here).

      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.

        Drink shelfies at home, alone, on the couch? Or drink whales in an alley behind a brewery in St. Paul in the rain with a bunch of strangers? To me, the choice is obvious.

          Do you want a MN trading partner? I would be very happy about trading for some Trillium and Tree House...

            Omnipollo is great. Really, really good beer. The taproom in Stockholm, Omnipollos hatts, is pretty small, but they were really friendly, and the beer was awesome. The bartender got some stuff from the cellar for me to try when I was there, and one of them was an Omnipollo-Trillium Collab, it was an imperial pastry stout and it was really good. The Barrel Aged Noa (pecan mud cake) was the best though, that was just about a perfect beer. Also tried the burger and fries IPA, Hilma, and it was good, didn't taste much like a burger or fries. I have a bottle of Omnipollo Selasse, which is a coffee vanilla stout, that I might be opening this coming weekend.

            In addition to Omnipollo, if you find Dugges around, get it. They're located on the opposite side of Sweden, near Goteborg, and they also make **** good beer. Had a Jamaican Rum barrel aged barleywine from Dugges when I was in Goteborg that was sublime. #BIL

              How does "arak" taste? It's all over my local ABC. Arabic writing (عرق), from Lebanon, anisette based. Is it like ouzo? It's also used in the Scandinavian drink "punsch," if any of our Hordes from the North know that.

                There are a whole bunch of anise flavored liquors, that are all very similar, but not quite the same, from around the world. I would imagine it is similar to Greek Ouzo, Czech Becherovka, Colombian Aguardiente, etc. The Nordics have Aquavit (Akvavit), which isn't really anise flavored, but the same idea of a spiced/flavored clear liquor similar to a gin, but with different botanicals.

                    I would say, in most cases, they're a little bit of both. Yeah, they are drank as an after-dinner desert kind of drink in the regions where the liquor originates from, but at the same time, you're likely to find people also getting blitzed on them as well. For example, when I was in Colombia, Aguardiente was served/offered as a drink after the meal, but later, at the bar/club that we went to, they served it by the bottle and the people were getting hammered off the stuff.

                      I got a new wine rack due to my expanding collection. I was moving a few beers around and one of the 750 mL bottles had the bottom completely blow out.

                        A friend of mine had that happen with a 2007 Darkness this past year. From what I know, it happens on rare occasion and it's completely random. Yes, he stored it correctly.

                        Founders CBS was tapped last night at Eden Prairie Old Chicago. Still had some left tonight, I was very surprised, and happy, since I couldn't make it last night. On tap, that maple is popping, much more than the bottles right now. For the bottles, wait 6 months or so, then it'll really pop.

                        And Willettized Lagunitas is insanely good. You want that booziness? Find some of this stuff. Only about $3 per bottle, too. That's a nice bonus.

                          I think I stored it correctly. Oh well. In moving things around I also noticed another bottle had sprung a pinhole leak. Luckily it dropped on other bottles and the wood rack. No damage but the bottle is going to go.

                            I'm gonna guess you did. You have enough knowledge of storing beer and such. Upright, no light, cellar temp, blah blah blah.

                              Upright? I always store sideways. Just like wine.

                              Everything else is in line.
