Just downed a bottle of Kung Fu Girl Riesling. Best Riesling on the planet. by K Vintners in Washington state.

Followed up by some Johnnie Walker Gold Label. Such a better value than the Blue Label.

:D this made me laugh!

Hangovers = no fun


Im a firm believer in just nuking hangovers with a shitload of painkillers. Dont piss about with the odd para here or there, throw down a few at a time and it keeps the suffering down to a minimum.


paracetemol for the pain
ibuprofen for the cause of the pain

It was a good night so well worth it!

I'm in Dublin for a couple of days, I did 9 pints of Guiness last night, then the funds ran out. But I'm cashed up again and will get a few more in before my flight.

Fookin' Hell :eek:

Every pint is like eating a meal, how the hell can you stomach so much?


I can only drink one, maybe two, but I dont like the taste that builds up so have to stop.

[fortunato]

Haha, no kidding. 9 pints of Guinness...wow.
When I was in Dublin I was lucky enough to have a couple pints of the black stuff in a pub just a mile or so from St. James' Gate.

[Disease]

Yeah, got a couple more in tonight before the flight. I'm feeling pretty bloated, everything I ate in the last two days was some type of sandwich or roll or pizza, so much bread.... That combined with the guinness.

The Guinness tasted so good though I would have had a few more if I had the time.

[fortunato]

Had a nice little beer tasting with some friends this evening.

First off, we tried Brooklyn Local 2, a great Belgian-style strong dark ale. Lots of plumb and honey notes coming through, and very smooth.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3630/3568100237_c0a03f7b7b.jpg

After that we tried the Guinness 250th Anniversary Stout.

And were thoroughly disappointed. It kind of tasted like somebody spilled water in regular Guinness.

Oh well.

I tried that recently as well. It kind of grows on you after awhile, but still, I was expecting to be at least a little impressed. To me it tasted like they just mixed regular Guinness with the Extra Stout version.

[fortunato]

Had another beer tasting with some friends today.

Unibroue's Trois Pistoles- an excellent dark Belgian ale

http://www.artofdrink.com/img/trois-pistoles.jpg

Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout- for a stout, it's fairly light. Overall, very nice.

http://media.rd.com/rd/images/rdc/slideshows/st-patricks-day-beer/st-patricks-beer-sam-smith-oatmeal-stout-ss.jpg

and Sprecher Black Bavarian- a wonderful, smooth dark lager

http://www.appellationbeer.com/images/20080206-sprecher.jpg

[fortunato]

Went to a beer tasting in the city today; we sampled a few brews from Rogue out of Oregon:

Mom Hefeweizen
Chipotle Ale
Dead Guy Ale
Double Dead Guy Ale
Imperial India Pale Ale

All of them were great, except the Chipotle Ale.

I picked up their Rogue Chocolate Stout, an Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout, and a Sinebrychoff Porter.

This is one of my all time favorites!


@Return (and Fortunato)
With the La Fin Du Monde, do you notice a taste difference in the shape of the glass you are drinking it from? I usually drink it in a rounded goblet like glass. Since we are moving and still unpacking, I had in a regular pint glass the other night. Now, i hadn't had it in awhile, but it just didn't taste the same and wasn't as good as I remember.

[fortunato]

Oh yeah, it's one of mine too.

Yeah, this is true with the Belgian strong ales for sure. The rounded big-bodied glass (like a snifter or oversized wine glass) allows the aroma of the brew to stay rolling around inside the glass. This way, when you take a drink, the aroma is nice and rich, adding to the taste of the beer. With a pint glass, the aroma is able to escape quickly from the wide mouth, killing some of the taste. With most other beer styles, the pint glass will work fine, but the Belgians are so heavy that the glassware really does matter.

i will not deny - it sounds gross - but you mix it with come tobasco and worcestershire sauce ... maybe some horseradish ... vodka and celery salt ...

Got a couple of beers I hadn't tried before last night...

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-IWR4kiJ4qA/SUTEwm5sLII/AAAAAAAABhU/-JclsAlk_0g/s400/IMG_2259.jpg


quite a solid ale, nothing outstanding but it goes down very smooth...

The other one I can remember, I ended up pretty pissed.... from the bottles of white wine we drank later. Got a free case of some Californian wine echo Falls, not great, but drank cold enough it's fine.

[fortunato]

Had, among other things (beer and wine), hot coffee with Bailey's at a wedding tonight.

I drank some Duvel's on Friday night along with some grolsch, tried a lone star yesterday, followed that with some german beer called finkbrau and then some San Miguels... Then I went for some red wine from Argentina as I was making a pasta sauce.

Fuck Mondays!

[The_Return]

So, Saturday night I went out drinking with a couple of female friends...wasn't planning to drink, so I didn't get out to buy anything of my own - therefore I was stuck with woman drinks:

http://www.beveragewarehouse.com/images/products/2946.gif

And a bunch of Raspberry Sour Puss, plus some other kind of flavoured rum (not sure what it was exactly).

I learned a very valuable lesson that night: even though they might not pack much of a kick and you hardly even know you're drinking...if you down as much as I did, you still get fucking plastered. I'm talking like, passed out on the lawn, parents dragging you inside, can hardly function the next day kind of drunk. Was NOT a good time.

i went to one that actually had a bar (i was the only white guy there) and finally said screw it - i'm getting a beer half way through the night - the bar tender told me i was the only guy to have gotten a drink.

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

I think those were flukes zwoti.

[zwoti]

well the first (work associate and ex-member of hdc) was a "normal" wedding, so we had to pay for the drinks....that cost a lot.

I also bought my girlfriend a nice bottle of white wine from a local vineyard. Normally I don't like white wine that much but these guys know what their doing. I'm stopping in there next week for a free wine tasting.

So, one of you wanna enlighten me on what 'clamato' juice is? (I'm English, humor me).

Clamato (a portmanteau of "clam" and "tomato") is a trademark of the Mott's company which denotes a drink made primarily of water, reconstituted tomato juice concentrate, and high-fructose corn syrup. It is flavored with monosodium glutamate, spices, and a small amount of clam broth. It is also referred to colloquially as "clamato juice." Clamato was produced in its current form beginning in 1966 by the Duffy-Mott company in Hamlin, New York, by two employees who wanted to create a Manhattan clam chowder style cocktail by combining tomato juice and clam broth with spices. They also named the new cocktail Mott's Clamato and secured the trademark for the new brand. According to Mott's, the Clamato Caesar is one of the top selling cocktails across Canada. The brand was owned by Cadbury-Schweppes after the company bought Mott's in 1982. It is now owned by the Dr Pepper Snapple Group after the business was spun-off of Cadbury-Schweppes in 2008.

I had a couple of bottles of Guinness foreign export last night,which is 7.5%! I'm a regular drinker of draught Guinness,but I couldn't drink more than a 2 or 3 bottles of this stuff,it's got a helluva a kick and you could practically stand a spoon up in it!

Well, actually I have a suggestion for that, take those two bottles, and dump them into a caserole dish, and add in some frozen orange juice concentrate, and maybe some pureed strawberries, mix it well, then freeze it. after its frozen take it out and start shaving it down with a fork, until all of it looks like shaved ice, put that in an icecream cup, maybe with a little more of the pureed strawberries, and enjoy.

A few of these old favorites tonight, but just a few, this new job is taking it out of me, got to be up at 7 again tomorrow. Can not fu@king wait for the weekend, I'm going to the AFL Grand Final, I'm going to get shitfaced. Hell Yeah,

A peanut butter espresso smoothie from Scooters....Yummmmm.

I like the octoberfest more than the pumpkins. They tend to put too much "spice" in them. Although that Dog Fish Head one is pretty good.

Yeah, you have to be really picky with the pumpkin ales.
But yeah, soooo many good Oktoberfest brews.

A couple of girlfriends and I shared two bottles of sauvignon blanc at a sushi restaurant near work and then went to a dive bar and downed two Bud Lights.

...

DAMN I wish it wasn't a school night... :o

Went up north for a mini-vacation and did partake in a fine New Hampshire brew

I've had three (THREE!!!) phone interviews and this last one (who apparently has the "hiring power") essentially said that I was a "perfect fit" for the job A N D that she wants me to come in and meet the Team.

YAY

Here's the thing - This would be a PROMOTION (title change from "Business Analyst" to "SENIOR Business Analyst"), including a HUGE salary bump.

FUCK YEAH

[neverending]

Congrats Chrono- and good luck!

[ChronoGrl]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

I can't really "publicize" it because I haven't told my manager about the interviews... But the fact of the matter is, I've been a Contractor for a year now with no opportunities for hire... And this new place WOULD be perm AND a promotion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D

I'm really excited - It sounds really interesting and challenging (really dorky too - it's a database marketing company) AND closer to my apartment. heeeeee


Of course, I'm still in the interview phase, but this last interview went REALLY well. So I'm feeling pretty confident about it.

[Despare]

More port wine, I'm really getting into port after having my first a month or so ago. Killians is still keeping cold in the fridge and may stay there, it's about time for some pumpkin ales I think!

[fortunato]

Holy smokes! Congratulations, Chrono!
Best of luck, of course.

[newb]

Yeah good luck to ya Chrono


I'll drink to that
