As I sit on my screen porch, writing this article, waiting for the Dawgs Liberty Bowl match-up with UCF, it is 72F, which makes this winter “Now Drinking” edition rather strange. I wanted to get in one last beer special before 2011, so without further ado, here are some current choices. Young’s Double Chocolate Stout [...]
Who knew September was Bourbon Heritage Month? While none of these sit on the top of my shelf, I am always up for a good sipping Bourbon. My favorites? Knobb Creek, Markers Mark, Wild Turkey 101, and Jim Beam Black. What’s in the fridge right now, for my football drinking pleasure? Miller Lite Home Draft [...]
Cold ones. Adult Beverages. Nectar of the gods. You, know, beer. I am not sure where this tailgating beer article is coming from, but as is often the case, the comments are f’ing hilarious. Certainly more entertaining that reading about the beers that are not available in these parts. I have not decided on my [...]
As spring turns to summer, what better way to beat the heat than with an ice cold Bud Light Lime? Screw the pundits; Bud Light Lime taste great on the beach, by the pool, and especially during a BBQ (or tailgate for that matter). Jim Beam Black Now for something a little different. A couple [...]
It has been a while since I went hells blazing, stuffs to the wall crazy, so I figured it was time … There And Back Again I spent last week in Calgary, which explains why the site experienced a severe slowdown. Thursday and Friday marked the first time in over 150+ days (8 months) that [...]
Here are a few random links for your viewing pleasure that I came across while surfing the web this morning. As I heard on SportingNews radio, legitimate web surfing; in other words it is too early on Sunday morning to be looking for some T&A. After the affair ends … A reminder for married folks [...]
One of my “New Year’s Resolution” was to drinking better beer. I enjoy beer with the best of them, but a lot of times I lapse into the cheap(er) stuff. This year I am going to try to go with more premium brews; sort of a quality of quantity deal. Maybe; that assume I am [...]
I don’t know … it just sort of seems fitting … Patricia “Peppermint Patty” Reichardt: Have you made any New Years resolutions, Chuck? Charlie Brown: Yes. You know how I always dread the whole year? Now I’m only going to dread one day at a time. [Happy New Year, Charlie Brown! (1986)] Almost 2010! I [...]
When it is cold outside, I turn to stouts. What better beverage to pass a cold winter’s day? First up is Yuengling Original Black & Tan, which is a nice “every day” type of cold weather beer. Nothing special mind you, but a nice dark blend with plenty of hints of deep malts and chocolate. [...]
I thought the timing on this article on stouts was perfect. Just a couple of days ago the mercury was dropping fast, so I picked up some Guinness Draught (4 15oz cans). Tonight the low is all of 61F; more nasty wet weather. Whether we’re talking imperial stout, oatmeal stout, or even the nearly extinct [...]
The awaited triumphant (so says me) return of Now Drinking featuring a Holiday extravagant selection of good, better, best IPAs. Abita Jockamo IPA This Abita IPA has been in and out of my rotation all year. It is a nice IPA, featuring a 6.5% ABV, and it is just under $9 for a six pack, [...]
This week’s installment introduces the Recycle Bin to a new delectable nectar of the gods that is right up there with, dare I say possibly (maybe) surpassing, the goodness of Sweetwater 420. On the Friday drive home from work I ducked into the local brownbag package store [that would be Mr. B’s] and picked up [...]
It has been a while since we played this game, so let’s end Friday with an extra special episode of Now Drinking only with half the usual specialness. Dos Equis XX Lager Especial Lately I have been trying different Mexican beers. XX is pretty decent; goes well with my wife’s homemade salsa. I am not [...]
It has been a while [been saying that a lot in the last couple of posts] so let’s get straight to it before our time comes to an end. First – Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Classic stuff; a beautiful full flavored ale. I am not sure how else to describe it except to call it [...]
It has been a while since I did a “now drinking” segment, so I guess it is time … “This ain’t about this y’all, it ain’t about that This ain’t about the booty movin’ pumpin’ the max This ain’t about this, that, what, where, or how This about the freaks doing everything they wanna do [...]
