k...I admit I'm kinda glad when others agree w/me on beers...

Cigar City Guava Grove is a better beer than Guava Groove...it's all about balance....

Groove was better this time than last...& that's got to be my familiarity w/it...I'm more confident tasting it...can pick out more...but Grove's simply better...all in attendance agree...

Schlafly Reserve Imperial Stout..2009...not bad...

Dogfish Head Red & White...hadn't had it in years...coriander to the extreme...

Cigar City Marshal Zhukov...had it last Saturday in Chicago...still just as nice:)...

/\/\ winning

Tri-winning!

this was amazing...HaandBryggeriet HaandBic...a lambic oak barrel aged for 18 months before it's blended & bottled...

incredible...

What I find incredible is that you can still hold that bottle straight up, **and** shoot a pic after all that.....

will get lost in the beer but..

Alban Vineyards - 2005 - Syrah

While I wait for the lamb shank to finish.

New Holland Pilgrim's Dole...

then a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale bomber to break the cycle....

turns out I brought zero hoppy beers...oops...

Short's/Three Floyd's/Dogfish Head Cornholio Baltic Porter...brewed with red popcorn & beach plums...don't worry about it...you will never have it...it's out there...but works for me...my favorite style...

Thanks, Joe...

Upland Dantalion Wild Ale...not to shabby:)...

Waldorf #2

[Only made half the recipe.]

Since it is finally fall today, thought I would make something seasonal.

2 oz Clear Creek Apple Brandy

1/2 oz Nux Alpina Walnut Liqueur

3 dashes of Fee Brothers Celery Bitters

2 slices of Honeycrisp apple

Not my favorite drink - perhaps due to the celery bitters though. Will need to look for some more walnut liqueur recipes.

Dogfish Head 120 Minute...think that's it...everyone's passed out...was able to salvage some beer...

Impressive run Jeff.

Wishing it was still summer so still wearing shorts and drinking a Cuba Libre.

I like how Shelly and Jim are heading different directions with their cocktail choices.

all I know is I want to try the cola at some point....

coffee:)...

Barrel aged Moloko. Begging absolution from the DOTU.

Followed that with a Region Riot. Now an adult portion of Dreanaught (Peter the bartender gives me a full pint, not the standard half).

Cheers!

Getting going early, Greg. Well done!

nice... seems that one could lay down for a long time as well

Cocktail hour! Mandarin Napoleon Sidecars with our very own lemons.

Very nice and different from the Cointreau variety.
