[dkane360]

Remy Martin V and coke. It was pretty good, idk if a bottle is worth $40 though.

Moving a little slow from last night....

Founders Imperial Stout: Imperial Stout | Our Beers | Founders Brewing Co.

Founders Bolt Cutter: Bolt Cutter 2012 | Founders Brewing Co.

Those look interesting I'll have to see if I can find them locally. Looks like Specs doesn't carry them so I'll have to look a little further.

Last night had a Sante Fe for the first time, Nut Brown Ale - http://www.santafebrewing.com/our_beer/detail/21 it was pretty good. Interested to see what else i can find of theirs.

Deschutes Brewery Obsidian Stout - Obsidian Stout | Deschutes Brewery. I'm a fan of theirs and that's a good one.

You most likely will not find Bolt Cutter. It was a limited release back in November in bottles. You might...might...find it on tap. I know a few bars/resturants got it.

Imperial Stout came out a little over a week ago.

 

[lsiberian]

I'm definitely interested in trying an Imperial Stout. I may have to look for a pint.

Yeah, looks like I'm outta luck. I used the locator on the website and for any beer it came back with only a few places, closest ones were in the midwest. Nothing in TX.

Unfortunately, Founders has limited distribution.

Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA.

 

[lsiberian]

12 oz coke with double shot of Pyrat Rum. I'd read a review that said this rum was made for coke and that was the truth. My gosh it's amazing in coke definitely better than Bacardi IMO.

Well it's the truth for at least two people now, lol. It's known as a sipping rum, blended in Anguilla from 15 Caribbean rums, and is owned by the same company that owns Patron tequila.

Bacardi, I do not consider that to be rum. I think it is more similar to vodka than rum.

I think Mount Gay Eclipse is one of the great values out there in spirits, good enough even for sipping, but can be found for real cheap particularly in a handle.

Myself, I'm a rhum agricole snob.

An entertaining book on rum is this here.
And a Bottle of Rum: A History of the New World in Ten Cocktails: Wayne Curtis: 9780307338624: Amazon.com: Books

Rum is a very American spirit, it's what George Washington and Paul Revere drank for instance. The prevalence of whiskey didn't happen until people moved westward away from the seaboard where they found fertile soils for grains and corn. They would have these huge crops, but it was too difficult or expensive to ship it by land to sell on the eastern seaboard. This was ameliorated a bit by the opening of the Erie Canal, as shipping by water is a lot cheaper. Anyway, so what did they do with all the excess crops? Turn it into whiskey. A horse might carry four bushels of wheat turned into flour, but as whiskey that would turn into 24 bushels. I learned this from the book above.

All I need now is for someone to pronounce it for me.

Just picking on ya! I like to learn something new now and again.

 

[STRONGBADF1]

From what I understand...Doug buys Mount Gay rum just for the name alone...
Just sayin

Yeah - Doug always did like the word "rum."

You know...if you dump the Founders Ale and Guinness down the sink now.
I'll stop making fun of you.

Almost like the female name to start with, "Amelia-rate". Lots of online dictionaries have a pronunciation function, just click on the speaker looking icon.
ameliorated - definition of ameliorated by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

I was preparing an elaborate comeback with the rum name, but I give up now. lol

I actually picked up some Guinness for the first time in a very long time. Sometimes it's decent to me for how low the ABV is (for when I'm driving), at 4.2%. (I believe in Ireland and other places it could be 4.3%; why any difference at all, I've no idea.) It's definitely the weakest beer I currently have.
