I am never on the internet while drinking, so those beers were from last nights sesh.
BTW....I NEVER drink before 10AM.

sam adams summer ale .
90min IPA this evening.
last night: NG Unplugged Old English Porter
wow. it's sour enough that Dan (brewer) has had to put out a press release that "yes, it's supposed to taste like this". It's good (not my favorite), but love it that his Unplugged series really is him having fun and experimenting with beers that not everyone is going to like. too many "brewers specials" are just higher alcohol brews that are still made to appeal to 100% of the people that are already buying the normal release beers (I'm looking at you Sprecher, Sam Adams, etc).

God damn is this stuff good. You've got to drink it fresh and I have four 500ml bottles lesft.
Last night = MANY Olde Saratoga Lagers, and a couple of Margaritas.
This morning = coffee & electrolyte!

Ok......SIXPOINT:
Very smooth. Caramel color and flavor. Malty but not overbearing. Little sweetness.
little late hoppiness. nice finish. a little dry.
Aroma is sweet with a caramel overtone.
5% ABV
tasty.........but not as good( to me) as the Small Craft Warning

Central Waters Imperial Stout
It's cold (60?) out, getting dark earlier and earlier, and needed something more suited to fall than summer. So pulled this out of the basement stash, and definitely hits the spot.

almost time to pull out the skis.
Hey, don't rush Winter, we still have Fall to look forward to... this weekend (high low 60s, low in the mid 40s).
Thinking of getting the backyard firepit going either tonight or tomorrow night, and I've got a Central Waters Bourbon Barrel Stout that's been stored since last winter, or a couple of Tyranena Rocky's Revenge (Bourbon Barrel Ale) in the fridge as well...

LOL... We hit some record highs yesterday (104) and this weekend will not be much better.
I'm busting out the mini-keg of wheat beer.
I've got some Black Flag Porter seems damn tasty but hard to get...i'm only 1/3 thru the pint so we'll see
8:15 PM 102 degrees.. drinking a chilled Merlot....
Berghoff Solstice Wit. Market had it on sale for $2.99/6er, and so picked up a full case of it for $12. Wouldn't be my favorite otherwise, but can't go wrong at that price...
So a week ago I was in the local specialist bottle shop and after a long internal argument with myself got a bottle of Invercargill brewerys "Smokin Bishop" a smoked bock.
Amazing!!!!! I've always had a soft spot for bocks and this one just blew me away!!!
Then last night the missus as a special surprise got me a bottle of the Original smoked beer from Bamberg in Barvaria.
Also amazing but perhaps a tad lighter in taste and with a lighter smokiness.
Ah here's the bottle......http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Aecht_schlenkerla_rauchbier.jpg
Tonight I'm just kicking back in front of the fire with a green ginger wine.

nothing right now [ still stuck @ work ] but soon to be drinking sam adams octoberfest .
last night the same as above but with a glass of our 1st batch of homebrew which has been bottled for almost 4 months now & is drinking great at this stage. Only one bomber left though. 
Chateauneuf Du Pape from the Domaine de Nalys.
Nice, but not as nice as the Chateau La Voulte-Gasparets we had last night.

Petrus aged pale ale, Drie Fonteinen kriek, and Troubadour blonde.
Sadly in that order but after seeing the cost of the Kriek I decided I better go a little cheaper. All three beers are great, first time with the blonde.
Love 3 Fonteinen's Krieks.

last night....home brewed summer ale, NG IPA.
Mojito, but with ginger instead of mint. Damn this is really, really good. Granted, anything with sugar, lime and rum can't be that bad...

Ok, drinking this again tonight, and is quite possibly the best drink I've ever had. My wife has named it the Gracie, and here's the recipe:

(edit. alternate name for this is the Gingerito. wasn't really feeling the name Gracie.)
