Just got news that Rare Beer Picnic (Moorhead, MN) does NOT coincide with the MI (kinda GPL) trip this year. I get to go, assuming I can get a ticket. My buddies already have rooms booked (I believe at Brewhalla, the Drekker hotel). I am pumped.

I can neither confirm nor deny having a shower whiskey (or shower beer) at some point in my life. But, that pic is a level of dedication that is beyond my pay grade, so to speak. That is impressive. 

That being said, got some Ghost In The Machine from Parish Brewing in our store right now, and that is some OG goodness.

I'm 100% certain I have never had a shower-whiskey, nor a shower-beer.

Hot-tubs obviously don't count, because, of COURSE I've had several hot-tub whiskies.

I have heard...after a long day's hard work, where you are sweating like a turkey the day before Thanksgiving, a shower beer is quite refreshing. That's the rumor.

I’ve had both a shower beer/cocktail. I even had cereal with root beer schnapps. Don’t ask… it was 1995.

I’m jealous of @vegoe during OT on the podcast. I pretty much quit drinking, a very, very casual beer drinker. And his Wed night choices look so good.

The beers and cocktails, yes. The cereal, no.

Pretty much anything Drekker does is gold.

If one does not scout out the website before they arrive at Ansari's, one has failed. 😉 Same goes for Northern Taphouse (nee Grizzly's) in Plymouth. One must choose wisely...

Had Boom Island and Bobbing Bobber Brewing in for tastings yesterday. Boom had a very nice Coffee/Vanilla Blonde, and BBB had a Peach Cream Ale that was quite refreshing.

Been to Bobbing Bobber once. They had one decent beer: Blonde Coffee Stout. Probably the same one you're talking about.

I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.

That is real, and they named the beer Blow Back. Smile

I admire his commitment to the job. A lot of workers would have high-tailed it out of there. Very lucky he wasn't hurt.

On the news that Fair State filed bankruptcy,  😥 , that is (was) my favorite pilsner. Hopefully, they can come out of it.

One of those things that just happens. You’re told never stand in front of a valve. Though you always do and you may never have a valve explode. Almost guarantee next time he won’t stand directly in front.

Can you imagine driving home and getting pulled over... 

 

When I was in college, I was a delivery driver for Erberts and Gerberts for the store in downtown Mpls. I had a system while delivering. When I delivered to the gentlemen clubs, I would offer the guys waiting for a cab ride back to their hotels. This one time I picked up 3 drunks who just stunk of liquor. While diving to their hotel, I got pulled over and the cop smelt all the liqueur.  So he made me get out and talk to him, proving I wasn't drinking. 

It was the best gig. Cause E&G provided the car and gas. So, all tips for delivering subs and driving people around was straight cash. I would also call around to other restaurants and trade subs for better food.

Tried "Backmasking" from 3Floyds (oatmeal stout) and "French Toast Stout" (maple, cinnamon, and vanilla) from WeldWerks today. Both are amazing.

Dragon's Milk Triple Mash (18.7%) is out, and I tell ya, it's a banger. Holy buckets is it good. It DOES taste a little boozy, but not 18% boozy. Dangerous.

WTF!  Did we miss you?  I was swilling a RAUCHBIER! My all time favorite and I hardly ever see it on a menu. 

 

What have I got? I got no snacks and I got no respect.

Tried Mich Golden with Wheaties back around that same time         It tasted like Frosted flakes.    I don't think it tasted good coming back up though.

Orange Peel Patio Crusher (blonde ale infused with orange peel) just got tapped today at LTD Brewing in Hopkins. 
1. Not their best offering, but easily my favorite.
2. This means I don't even have to order, officially, until that is tapped out. They know what I'm getting; today, I got three steps into the place, and my glass was already half-full being poured.  😉

Gotta love being a known regular.   I remember that from my OC days... half the time walking in, before I made it to the bar area, a bartender had my Summit EPA in my mug and was just watching to see where they needed to hand it.

 

B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?

I can't say that the LTD Sunday Crew are regulars at Mainstreet Bar in Hopkins, but when we walk in, they are already grabbing the Macallan 12 bottle. I mean, a 2-3 finger pour for $11? Yeah, that's why we're there. 😉 That's the only thing we order when we go.
