The drunk thread

[Jims5543]

Reminds me of some old wine my parents had that turned to vinegar!

Trust me, these World Wide Stouts aged VERY well.

I am having a hard time finishing my second one.  I feel like a man wearing a Bahamas t-shirt in a nail salon right now.

I'll have Farrah Fawcett shirts to post soon.  There's a story behind it I'll reveal at that time.

I don't drink, but I used to keep beer around for my friends. I bought a 6 pack of Coors light because some friends liked it but we forgot about it down in the garage fridge, 6 years later I threw it away.....

My question was how long did you wait to drink a beer you purchased.

You answered 6 years... you were well on your way to legend status...

Then you threw it away and ruined everything.



Admittedly, I do not think Coors light will get better with age. So there is that.

To answer your question Jim, probably a few months.  I really don't keep a lot of beer at the house.  We do have 20-40 bottles of wine on hand at any given time.

Wino!!

I follow a guy on IG that used to manage the corner gastropub, he is now a rep for a beer distributor. He collects beer, some bottle he opens are 7-10 years old!!!!

Is beer good that long? I just always thought you wanted to drink it sooner than later. 

[Jims5543]

Depends on the beer.

Strong IPA's and Stouts do well with age. Dog Fish Head seems to put out a few different beers that they suggest you let age.

If I had not tasted the difference myself I would have though that to be a rubbish statement.

There are other IPA's and general beers that are better fresh. 

[94touring]

Yeah I never knew! When you come to town there's some prairie brewery beers you should take home to shelf then.  Some of these are 13 point and I can only handle 1 because they are a lot of flavor.  Depending on the batch they taste different too.

FYI for anyone near Lexington Ky.

How long have you waited after buying some beer to drink it?

I opened up a bottle I purchased 11 months ago this evening.  I have some from April 2017 that are still aging.  They are Dog Fish Head 120 IPA's.

This World Wide Stout is almost a year old, I have a 4 pack, 2 were opened this evening. I spent the entire weekend working on drafting so I can take a week off starting this upcoming Friday. I decided to unwind a little this evening, it has been a pretty stressful weekend and week last week. The upcoming week is going to be bonkers.. I do NOT want to take a week off Mrs5543 is forcing me to.  I already threw a couple of temper tantrums.

Mrs5543 was cooking up some steaks this evening, I decided to open up these righteous stouts.



A little info about the bottles I opened.

I no longer have in my possession any more stouts. My 4 pack is gone.

My wife making Chili started this evening. Which was costly as I made a Watch purchase because of...... Stouts.

............... to be continued.

We're having too much fun.  Day drinking.

Guess there's not much of a story. So Skylar and I have been friends for years. When she left Tulsa to go live in Brooklyn I'd go visit occasionally. One morning after a late night out we found ourselves in a diner people watching as people walked the street. One guy had a hoodie with Farrah on it, and when he unzipped it, under was a t shirt with Farrah on it. It became known to us as the double Farrah. Since we both share bdays in December and the same sense of humor, I bought us all Farrah shirts to wear out on a day drinking bday celebration. Actually since she moved back to Tulsa our weekends involve a lot of shenanigans.  The 3 of us together are a power trio for sure.  She'll be at the wedding as one of my groomsmen as well. 

[Jims5543]

I am actually scared to attend this wedding... for many reasons, some include alcohol poisoning, others include shenanigans I cannot possibly begin to comprehend nor understand especially when rocketing my way towards alcohol poisoning.

If I disappear with no notice, understand I realized I drank too much and need to get to a safe place no as not to make an ass out of myself.

Nothing personal.

[94touring]

Lol but making an ass of yourself is allowed in the cellar bar.  You've seen the pics..

[Jims5543]

I am trying not to mortify my wife bro.  I am kind of fond of her and try not to embarrass her too much. She is already wondering if I am going to behave.  :D

There is a Porsche guy I "know" from a Porsche forum who lives in Tulsa, I am trying to get him to come out and meet up with me Friday...  Not sure he is game I think he prefers to sit in front of a computer, I may be wrong.

He e-seems to be a cool dude.

I am afraid of my ability to take it to another level.   ;D

All joking aside, I am really looking forward to visiting, excited to meet the people you talk about and see the city.

Less than a month.

[94touring]

It's getting close! You get in Friday?

[Jims5543]

Yessir...

Friday at noon we arrive, gonna Uber into downtown to our Hotel (Aloft) then see about taking in some sites.


Of which I have no idea, I have yet to do my typical research of the city like I do anywhere I travel to, I should have some time over the holiday weekends.

May start a Tusla thread.   ;D

[94touring]

Aloft has an airport shuttle fyi.

Game changer...

Helpful post was helpful.

[94touring]

Ubers here are typically cheap, but save yourself a few bucks.  Ubering from the hotel to any spot downtown, provided it's not 2am on a Friday or Saturday, is about $5-$7.  The hotel is a block from my house and bar.

[Jims5543]

Back to alcohol.

A month or two ago I stumbled upon a bottle of Buffalo Trace in a Wal-Mart liquor store of all places.  I grabbed it since I had heard it was good. Good was an understatement. 

I used to think Elijah Craig was a fantastic bargain of quality vs. price, Buffalo Trace is on entirely different level.  Amazingly smooth and fantastic taste.  Wal mart had it for sub $30.

Well, I was REALLY enjoying it, and the bottle was getting low, so I decided to go back to Wal Mart and grab another, none left.  Went to ABC nothing and there I was told, good luck they fly off the shelves as fast as they stock them.  Seems in Florida we get limited quantities.

Yesterday I had 15 minutes to burn, I was driving past a small mom and pop liquor store that is near Jupiter Island, which is a very wealthy area, I decided to go in and see.  They had 5 bottles on the shelf.  I grabbed two.  ;D  Sadly they were marked up, due to rarity, to $35 a bottle. Damn them.

They also have a bottle of Blantons on the shelf, except they marked it up to  $170 from What should be about $80. I have a bottle on hand at home that is unopened, I will not open until I get a second one.  That bottle shall remain sealed.

In the meantime.  Happiness, looking forward to sitting on the back porch and enjoying this Buffalo Trace after a long work week.
