Interesting
As an aside, I peeked under the tree and saw that Santa had left me a 6 -pack...gonna be a Sam Adams Christmas day I predict.
Had lunch yesterday with a co-worker at a pub downtown where, among other things, Double Bastard was on tap. He ordered a pint, and I had a taste. After you taste the alcohol (10%), it had a pleasant hoppiness. He was smart enough not to order a second pint of same. I stuck to IPAs....
Drink hearty for the holiday, all!
The Beer Prayer
Our Lager,
Which art in barrels,
Hallowed be thy drink.
Thy will be drunk (I will be drunk),
At home as in the tavern.
Give us this day our foamy head,
And forgive us our spillages,
As we forgive those who spill against us.
And lead us not to incarceration,
But deliver us from hangovers,
For thine is the beer,
The bitter and The lager,
Forever and ever,
Barman
Merry Christmas!
littlek- I found some dirty bastard ale not sure if it is the same thing as you were referring to but is very good. I also picked up some 90 min IPA but haven't tried it yet. The only 120 that I found was dogfish but it was apricot flavored. I didn't feel that adventurous.
Dogfish Head 120 minute IPA with apricot flavor? Are you sure, sublime!? Putting apricot flavoring in an IPA is strange in any case, but that stuff?!?!

I thought it was odd myself it doesn't say in the description but the bottles had 120 min around the neck.
Well, I'm amazed. Sorry to have doubted you, dude!
I can't imagine what it tastes like....
I don't think any of the Stone Brewery Bastard ale names are prefaced with 'dirty'. I could be wrong. These bastard ales usually have a demon on the label.
Now I'm still working on the 6-pack of Anchor Xmas Ale.
I purchased some Portugese 'beer' prior to Christmas and I can report it as undrinkable. Foul, foul, foul, pilsner style. Nasty.
And I thought I was the beer Queen..lol
You folks make me look amatuerish...lol, I don't switch up..usually just stick to one and don't get very adventourous in flavored beers. As long as its wet, cold and the form of a long neck with a Miller Genuine Draft label on the bottle, I'm happy.
But I do have something for ya, maybe one of you can answer it. I have drank Budweiser...it gives me one helluva headache before I ever get a buzz...Budlight,on the other hand, I can drink all night without a problem.
(I'm spoiled, I don't like tap beer, so I take Bud light when out, cause it comes in the long neck..lol And usually MGD comes tap.)
The same thing goes for Busch, can drink reg Busch, but not Busch light, it gives me a headache. Its a switch up there..Whats up with that?
Too drunk to post now will try tomorrow
Not sure re your question, makemeshiver. As someone who's managed to feel lousy after drinking just about kind of alcohol, I should be somewhat of an expert on this, but I'm not.
My only rule of thumb is that if I drink a lot on an empty stomach, I'm apt to feel under par the next morning...
On a lighter note, I plan to buy some Dogfish Head 120-minute IPA for myself and a co-worker tomorrow, plus some Anchor Xmas Ale before it's all gone!
I need a beer right now.
Can't wait another 4 hours.....
Going to Pistons vs. Miami game tonight....in suite....free beer.....mmmmm....I can't wait.
At least you're in a suite.
The players can't run up and beat the crap out of you too easily up there.

We played the pacers on the 25th. How Christmas like....just waiting for a brawl.
They didn't try to beat up any of our fans. But we beat them on the court.
"We?"
How many points did you score? And what's your REAL name, "kristie?"

I believe the score was 98- 93. And my friends call me Big Ben. :wink:
You may want to shave that fro down, Ben.
