Ah. I'll have to try that. I'm all about drinking blended whiskey with ginger-ale and lime.

Templeton Rye.

Whiskey only available in... Iowa for now. Prohibition era recipe favored by Chicago mob. Taaaasty.

right now, a Lion's Head. earlier, i had two Flying Fish Begian Dubbel Bocks.

― the table is the table (trees), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 04:10 (nineteen years ago)

Lion's Head, eh? Are you in Pennsylvania?

― Shadowcat (A-Ron Hubbard), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 04:11 (nineteen years ago)

Jeez, you guys are a classy lot.

A few PBRs for me. Damn.

― Zachary Scott (Zachary S), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 04:21 (nineteen years ago)

yes, near philly. (like 10 minute drive to center city). lion's head is the new yuengling round here.

― the table is the table (trees), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 04:30 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, so I've heard. It's like (pre-hipster-inflation) PBR cheap too.

― Shadowcat (A-Ron Hubbard), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 04:32 (nineteen years ago)

There was a point tonight where I was drinking Chardonnay out of an actual wine glass next to my wife on the couch, reading the New Yorker, with the Marian McPartland trio pleasantly bubbling in the background, and it was like "Guess it's time to kill myself."

― Shadowcat (A-Ron Hubbard), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 04:33 (nineteen years ago)

Wait, PBR is more expensive then before? It's been about the same price since I started drinking it.

― Zachary Scott (Zachary S), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 04:33 (nineteen years ago)

Depends where. Some places it's still super cheap but others I've seen it priced higher than the rest of its class due to the apparent desire to be seen with one. That may not even be going on anymore though - don't know. I almost never drink PBR unless it's $1 PBR night across the street.

― daniel seward (bunnybrain), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 04:37 (nineteen years ago)

Honestly, I have half a 750 of Orange Jubilee Mad Dog, half a 750 of Peaches & Cream Mad Dog, and an unopened 750 of Wild Irish Rose (that I'm too afraid to try) in my fridge. And 2 cans of Piels.

― RIYL Christiane F. (drowned in milk), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 04:41 (nineteen years ago)

lions head at a distributor is still between 11.50 and 13.50 for 24 of bottles. which is totally fucking absurd.

― the table is the table (trees), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 04:50 (nineteen years ago)

My Philly friends never shut up about the beer messiah that is Lion's Head. But it's honestly quite good for the price.

― Shadowcat (A-Ron Hubbard), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 04:52 (nineteen years ago)

Laurel, Vernors! Does it make you sneeze on the first sip too?

I made a FRENCH 75 for the first time last night:
juice of one lemon
2 tsp powdered sugar
2 oz. bombay sapphire gin
ice
cheap champagne

RESULTS:
You gotta like gin for this one. My sugar had not completely dissolved, i'd found after finishing it. It was tart, but I like tart, but I'd use a smaller lemon or slightly more sugar. Gonna be a good summer drink.

― jon jonson (p.j.), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:57 (nineteen years ago)

After that I had an Abita 25th anniversary Pilsener.

"For 3 generations the Casella family has been making wine at their winery in the small town of Yenda, situated in South Eastern Australia. It is here that yellow tail is created with a simple purpose in mind; to make great wine that everyone can enjoy. yellow tail is everything a great wine should be. It's approachable, fresh, flavorsome, and has a personality all of its own."

Been genuinely surprised by the number of friends and acquaintances who've opted for a dry Christmas actually.

Meanwhile, have been enjoying champagne, a rather nice New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc from the local offie, Baileys and Stones Ginger Wine.

A couple of nights ago had a few pints of Youngs seasonal ale, Angels, appropriately enough in a pub called the Angel and Greyhound.
