Started out opening up a bottle of 2010 Alamos Malbec. The taste was bad and the smell reminded me of puke... so it was dumped. Now I am having some 2008 Norton Reserva Malbec - about a million times better than the Alamos. Since I am not asian, I thought it would be quite inappropriate to post a shirtless pic though.

Boulevard Smokestack Series Two Jokers Double Wit...

I approve...

Is the oak aged version way different from the regular one? Tried the regular version a week ago and was kinda unimpressed.....it had this reallllly sweet finish too it as if added some brown sugar to it.

I'm not keen on ST in general, but they do make a couple beers I enjoy...Krampus is decent...anyways, I'm a sucker for an oaked IPA & this is very drinkable...the oak makes something ordinary into sonething worth consuming...it still doesn't touch White Oak Jai Alai, though:)...

I think that you're allowed to if you have a new drink. Or if you've smeared warpaint over yourself.

I'll keep that in mind for use at a future date (pun intended).

Sounds like you got a bad bottle. A really bad bottle.

cheers to the bday boys, in possible preparation for manathon

The manathon will be epic, you keep practicing. And cheers!

Double Vya Extra Dry, Monopolwa Gin Campari Negroni with a dash of grapefruit bitters. Killed the bottle of gin!

Did somebody say manathon?

Allegedly Napoleon's favorite tipple blah blah insert ad copy here. Increasingly hard to get here due to foreign demand from you fuckers. Really good!

I might just take off my shirt for my last night in Berlin at some point. Not on camera of course.

Lunch beers:

Afternoon snack at KaDeWe, Europe's largest department store:

Evening snack beer after tasting some absinthes at the Absinthe Depot down the strasse. Hadn't had a Berliner Pilsner yet, and it is meh like I expected.

Ballast Point Sculpin IPA

Ooooh, gin and tonic in a can. The perfect travel drink.

We are having a nice bottle of Norton Reserva 2007 Malbec. Very nice.

2009 Antucura Malbec

mixed with

from the fountain.

New Glarus Unplugged Imperial Weizen...not thick & syrupy but still manages to deliver twice the goods...

N.G. is one of those breweries that doesn't make a bad beer...had one of their R & D Golden Ales before this...part of one 160bbl batch...had the same beer earlier in the year/thread...was brewed in June of 2009...fun to track a beer's development...

Agreed and agreed!

Having a Screwdriver with Tito's Handmade Vodka and Simply Orange Juice High Pulp. Takes me back to college (except then I was probably using Tropicana and Stoli).

Williams Selyem Sonoma Coast Pinot.

Does it make Stoli and Tropicana unbearable?

Thanks to college, I avoid vodka most days now.

New Glarus Unplugged IIPA....this could be called a Pliney (Elder) clone...so it's great...

New Glarus Two Women Lager...Vienna Lager...more flavorful than any other lager in memory...wish they had something like this in Indy...

Decided to stay in after all. The drinking is still happening.

FFF Apocalypse Cow. Mike G. was right, this shit is good.

respect the cow...

Green iced tea. No shirtless pics of said drinking, the internet doesn't need more of those.

Actually your previous shirtless pic came as the aftermath of drinking, not during the drinking itself.
