What are you drinking right now?

Cracked open my crowler of Victory Storm King Variant tonight for dessert. Despite its 11% ABV, this is very smooth with flavors of chocolate and coconut in the background. Really yummy with a thick head on the first pour, well balanced. I had a glass of wine with my Grandma Pizza, so I just used the wine glass. I’m a heathen.

 

Buffalo Trace.

Found a stray bottle sitting on the shelf at the local Meijer’s and had to bring it home. MrsBrew saw the bottle and said I had two bottles behind the bar already.

She was wrong three plus an opened one. I may be set for a while.

 

Tonight (and lately when I have a drink) it's vodka and redbull.

 

Opened up 2011 Mendoza Cab last night. May have been my favourite bottle of the year !

 

Second day in a row for a Rob Roy. Never had one two days in a row. Used to drink dry RRs, but about six months back I picked up a half bottle of vermouth only to get home and find it was sweet. Tried it and it was fine. In the future I'll but a full bottle of Noilly Pratt or Dolin and use what I don't in a decent time frame to cook with. Only took about 40 years to figure that one out!

 

Ken, two reds at 9:52 am? Tad early for reds. Might I suggest a Sancerre or for a bit of fruit a Viognier?

 

In keeping with my vermouth theme, I'll indulge in a Crater Lake martini. You can have Aviator, Botanical, Dry Fly or whatever. If you have access, give it a try. Inexpensive (about $26 all in here in Wa), it tastes better than most due to the juniper being infused and it gives it a straw color, which is different.

 

Ok. Drinking a bear republic beer. Label feels weird like a stick on after the fact.
Never heard of the beer labeled but racer 5 is tasty and that’s what is in the can.....guess the aluminum shortage (so short it is 50 cents a pound here) is the cause.
So I peeled a little then tore back part of the label and then the whole thing. Glad it wasn’t a Budweiser can.....

 

Been a Bendistillery fan for a long time.

 

Racer 5 is a solid IPA.

 

bourbon old fashioned

New Riff bourbon

 

I think using a blood orange would be considered an Old Fashioned upgrade.

 

Post-vaccination Bud Light at Bdubs.... Haha heard from my friends the shot gives a little bit of a hangover a few hours later, so I'm going with the "Can't get hungover if you are still drunk" logic. Cheers!

 

Positive logic......and yet ANOTHER reason to grab the vaccine before EVERYBODY knows this tidbit...

 

I needed something to cut the 114 proof. I thought I bought navel oranges it was a cara cara. Turned out pretty good.

 

Cara Cara is a navel. It's a fairly recent natural mutation from a Washington navel. The blood is a natural mutation, as well.

 

Just a simple syrah......

 

Nothing simple about that noble grape!! Whose is it?
