A friend and I had a North Coast night, tried 6 different North Coast Brewery beers.

Several were quite good, most were good, one was awful.

Thought I'd add a picture to that last post. Old Rasputin is missing as I guess I already recycled that bottle?

I had a few of those last night....and then a few of...

These

And a few glasses of this on the rocks..

Damn, you were krazy! With that Trace: try muddling half a (highest quality) lemon that is quartered up, along with 4-5 mint leaves, pour some of the hooch in, and sweeten with some simple syrup (you can make some at home with the sugar you have, try 1:1, will last at least a couple of weeks in fridge, probably a lot longer, or if you're lazy, I guess you can throw some powder/confectioner's instead).

Shake with ice, pour over fresh ice straining out the stuff.

Last time I was making that, the friend I was making them for told me I couldn't make them fast enough, and he was telling the truth, he was drinking them faster than I could make them. Dangerously delicious: The Whisky Smash.

Optional garnish, a simple mint sprig. "Slap" the sprig on your open hand, and the bouquet just totally blows up. Nestle it into drink.

Old Rasputin is one of my favorite stouts.
I've been told Pranqster is good too.
Which beers didn't you like?

Screwdriver. I'm on a health kick...

Brother Thelonius tasted like sweet angry black licorice beer, did not like it in the least. I too think Old Rasputin is the king of stouts, but the Old No 38 Stout was also extremely good. Great for when you're looking for a stout with a bit less punch to it. Scrimshaw was good, but I'm just not that into pilsners.

Last night I had a Bohemia, Delirium Tremens, Troubadour Obscura, and a Sam Adams Double Bock

I realize no one is ever going to try one of my suggestions, but I can't help myself here. If you must make it vodka, because it's generally flavorless, and it's not saving you any calories (it's all about the calories in spirits when it comes to calories), maybe try the below. I only know a couple with vodka, and if you try this easier one, you will probably give up the screwdriver completely.

French Martini, 1:1 juice:hooch. 2 oz pineapple juice, 1.5 oz vodka, 0.5 oz Chambord. Shaken is definitely preferred for its effervescence. The pineapple and Chambord add up to about 50 cal.

I suppose the dry wit without a smiley didn't come across as intended. Let me rectify that. I like orange juice and decided to add a little vodka to it. It wasn't to save calories.

I do appreciate the suggestions, though!

Anchor Steam Christmas 2012 - Pretty tasty again this year.

Magic Hat Heart of Darkness Winter Seasonal Stout - Not as good as Brooklyn Brewing's Chocolate Stout but still decent.

[Adam]

Oh, Bud Platinum.

 

[j_garcia]

Would like to be having one of these nice and cold in the fridge, but I have a sore throat and I want to be able to taste it...

 

[jcl]

Sorry to hear of your sore throat. It usually happens to me after I stock up on Christmas beers. Cedar season tends to set in during December.

That label reminds me of roaring camp railroad in felton.

Anyhow tonight it's Brooklyn Brewing Chocolate Stout

The locations are not too far off the mark, both being on the California coast in the redwoods Throat is getting better, so I will be having one or two of these tonight.

Rogue Voodoo Donut

Nothing like a maple bacon beer when watching the pac12 championship game.

It's a very odd beer, not something you would want to drink all the time but certainly worth a try as a novelty.
