The drunk thread

You being able to grab a Guinness in Ireland so nonchalantly makes me envious.


I have at least another hour here at the office, I just remembered I tossed a beer in the back of the fridge here. Woo!

Local Brewery here, great smashburgers!

I was driving past a Total Wine yesterday, I decided to stop in and grab some Belgium Beer thanks to Red's post. LOL!

I forgot how expensive they are, a 4 pack of St. Bernardus Abt12 was $20..

Then I drifted over to the local Florida beers.  I grabbed a 4 pack of these because the name made me laugh.

It's OK, not something I would buy again.

Another local Florida beer, this one from Tampa.  Its a favorite of mine. It accompanied me while I fought with my irrigation system.. and lost.

I dipped into the Belgium ale last night, I have not had one in ages. It was a nice switch from the IPA's.

10% gets your attention too.  LOL

Those St. Bernardus ABT12 are quite good, probably one of the best beers.....but also quite expensive.

Another quite good and also expensive beer, if you are into Doppelbocks is Celebrator by Ayinger Privatbrauerei.

It's a toss up which I prefer more, usually comes down to whether I am in the mood for a good Belgium ale or a good Doppelbock, there are also some really good Tripels out there as well.

The Celebrator is a really good doppelbock, plus the bonus that you get the little plastic goat with the bottle. Something I discovered in Germany many years ago is that a doppelbock is REALLY good with a big slice of chocolate cake.

Saw these and grabbed them at a farmers market last weekend.

Some the same people that made Reef Donkey, Cloudy Donkey is very smooth and around a 5%er so not very hard hitting.





I am winding down and going dry after this weekend, I am starting a new workout / diet regimen, therefore I am going to be eating as clean as possible and cutting out alcohol. Boo!!

I drank my way around Wilmington NC this past weekend.

Found this in a little Gourmet Market we walked to near the hotel to get water for the room. I had to get this. The art work on the bottle is Ralph Steadman. I noticed it immediately, being a huge HST fan (see avatar).  I had to try some.

Found a little distillery there, picked this up for Old Fashioned's when I fall off the wagon. Hic.


Found a basement bar, went in for a local IPA.



Went on a boat tour, found this local IPA onboard, happens to be the same I had on draft in the basement.


After a walking history tour, which was excellent. We went and sat on a deck by the river, had a snack and drank this. LOL


We visited Wilmington about 7 years ago and always wanted to go back. Its still a delightful little city full of history and southern charm. Highly recommend.
