What kind of beer is everyone drinking tonight? (2 Viewers)

[3C's]

Just got home after a hell of a long day. Ten hours of work plus family obligations afterward left me really wanting a beer. Currently drinking a Mendocino Red Tail Ale. Nothing special, but it is an easy drinker.

Also, I put TT's beers in the fridge, but I don't know if they'll be good to go tonight or not. I'm thinking about putting one in the freezer to fast forward the process, though last time I did that I forgot about it. Whoops.

Put one in a bucket covered in ice. It'll be ready in 10 minutes or so.

Or just put ice in your beer.

 

[Tip Top]

Yes I did. They now know me by my first name at the Highland Park Sam's location. If any one of you guys ever go there, tell them you know "James". They'll nod approvingly, and give you first class treatment.

Oh yeah? My beer guy knows me by voice when I call on the phone. Well, when I used to call on the phone. He blocked my number. :(

My keg guy knows me by voice. Some of the beer guys at various liquor stores know me now. Don't know if that is a good thing though.

If I haven't been there in two days, the first thing mine says to me is, "Where the hell have you been?" I wish I was kidding.

WTF would he block your number? He doesn't want to sell beer?I had a college friend who had moved down to Baton Rouge. He had become quite a major NBA fan and bettor. He had such a big streak going that his bookie wouldn't take his bets after a while. And after that, he started to skew the lines against him so badly that it changed all his bets. Even in Louisiana that sounded odd. I think he eventually moved to the Ukraine and started an investment business there.

I go to too many different places for this to be a problem. Although I went to Dennis Brothers' on Tuesday and they will get most of my business. Read my review to see what I think of that place.

I was kidding. I've really only called him a couple of times. Last time was when Stone RIS was coming out. "Hey Matt, any idea when you'll get Stone RIS?" 'I'll need to call my distributor. Want me to call you back?' "Sure" 'Ok Mark, what's your number?' "Hey, how'd you know it was me?"

The guy at the register last time said, "Hey James. How was the last round of beers?" I have no intention of telling the wife that story though. She'd ban me for a long while. It also doesn't hurt that my last name is Kitchens, so he remembers it because of the funny last name of course. He didn't believe me the first time when I told him my last name, though. He had to check it for the Customer Card thingy, as I didn't have it on me.Sadly, I get all kinda of stupid "names" when I order things. I ordered a part for my lawnmower from Black & Decker (Electric mower since I have a small yard. Ask TT he saw the house). I told her my full name, and somehow my name appeared as "Kitchens & Baths" and the shipping slip. I'm curious is they tried to bill it that way to the CC company. But they had the number, so I suppose no big deal. Still odd to find a new way for someone to #### up my name. I also got a few strange looks when we were rehabbing the kitchen in our last house. Go into Home Depot, talk to someone about appliances and other kitchen whatnot, then try to tell them that your last name is Kitchens. It takes about three to four times of swearing that you're being honest before they make you take out your ID. Go ahead, try it.

Fill your trays with it to make some beer ice cubes.

Sand Creek Wild Ride IPA. Always solid. Gets no love cause the rest of the brewery's stuff sucks.

Yeah, that lasted about three weeks. I have still cut back though. Most weekdays I limit myself to two beers.Just finished up the Upland IPA. It was OK, but nothing remarkable. Thanks for the chance to sample it though.

HopDevil, after a night of drinking a few different taps at the bar. Had a John Locker Stock Rogue Alt Bier which was decent (nice crisp finish).

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Gator liked it so I figured I needed to send it out for a "2nd opinion".

No. What's bad is that I haven't had any in about a year. Actually, I take that back. I had one at a bar about 2 months ago.

Yep. I've tried everything at every liquor store in Los Angeles. I've decided to go back and start rating the beers I never did in the past. I still buy online and trade actively, so I get to sample new things. But at this point I'm very interested in documenting everything I taste. And it gives me a really good excuse to buy some old favorites like Orval, Xingu, Petrus, etc

This is good to hear. I picked one up recently.

And I haven't since the beer finally came here almost a year ago. Still haven't had the pleasure of having it on tap though.

Yeah, the 'Dark Beer' specialists down here. Actually, their Impy Stout was decent the first time around. They have a Scotch Wee Heavy out now that I haven't tried, and they are going to follow it up with North Carolina's first bottled Barleywine. Let me know if you are interested in any of it.
