Text: Currently Drinking: Old Speckled Hen

the thing that really annoyed me about that progression of a beer palette thing that went around a while back is the idea that light ales and pilsners are the default to which you return. Bullshit. I’ve done stage 3 plenty, and I love me some bitters, cream ales and other british beers. Germany and Poland can suck it.

Text: Butter Beer Recipe

carmaluna:

Butterbeer! It warms you up AND tastes great. Now in take-away form from The Three Broomsticks. (Many thanks to Melissa for this recipe!)

Ingredients:

1 cup (8 oz) club soda or cream soda
½ cup (4 oz) butterscotch syrup (ice cream topping)
½ tablespoon butter

Directions:

Step 1: Measure butterscotch and butter into a 2 cup (16 oz) glass. Microwave on high for 1 to 1½ minutes, or until syrup is bubbly and butter is completely incorporated.

Step 2: Stir and cool for 30 seconds, then slowly mix in club soda. Mixture will fizz quite a bit.

Step 3: Serve in two coffee mugs or small glasses; a perfectly warm Hogwarts treat for two!

Step 4: Tell us how this recipe is on the feedback form.

NOT ENOUGH ALCOHOL. heehee.

Seriously, though, I want the recipe that Alamo Drafthouse uses for theirs, it’s delicious.

Photo: matt-t: I might have gone overboard on the winter seasonals. Sweetwater Festival, Rogue Santa’s Private Reserve Ale, Rogue yellow Snow IPA (sounds delish), Very Bad Elf Special Reserve Ale, Red Brick Winter, Full Moon, and Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale I just had Santa’s Private Reserve the other night, and it was excellent. I generally prefer christmas ales to winter seasonals, though. Favorites being Anchor’s ever-changing-but-always-excellent Christmas Ale, and Delirium Noel.

Photo: socialcyclingatx: iaminlikewithmybike: fatmanatee: kevin: Feels like an alternate universe, but it’s true, Fat Tire in a can. I’ve been noticing more can packs in the liquor store lately, and they are indeed very good. I’m in favor of beer-that-doesn’t-suck coming in a container that I can drink poolside, and that fits in my bike’s bottle holder. Southern Star is by far the best I’ve found, and they’re tallboys, and local.

Hooray beer! #mybeer pass it ohryankelley! i fucking love red stripe I only recently discovered that they have this stuff in cans - while I don’t prefer cans, they’re much better for biking and/or drinking in public. My drinking in public has largely been hampered by having to choose MGD or Bud Light to do so.

Quote:

“Pours a breathtaking chestnut with a ruddy brown head. Half-decent lacing. Lovely boozy nose, maybe a little mango and caramel. Sexy esthery flavor, with notes of plum and hops. Creamy mouthfeel and delicate finish. Score: 4.00/5.”
