What Will You be Drinking Over the Holidays?

BlackDog · 12-24-2009, 01:32 PM

I'm wondering what beverages my fellow CA'ers will be drinking over the Holidays. Have you purchased any special scotches, bourbons, ports, wines, beers, etc.?

I've laid in a nice variety of beers.

Tyranena Hop Whore (a double IPA)
Surly Furious (for that lovely pine tree smell )
Founders Breakfast Stout
Old Rasputin
Founders Backwoods Bastard
a bomber of 2007 Affligem Noël
a bomber of Unibroue La Fin Du Monde

Plus I've got 4 8.5 oz bottles of Corsendonk Christmas Ale left from an earlier beer run. Tonight I plan to drink the Affligem Noël while we do our gift exchange. Tomorrow I think I'll drink a couple of the Corsendonks. And I'll probably squeeze in an Old Rasputin and a FBS somewhere along the way.

I wish you and yours a very lovely Holiday Season.

My local liquor store has Lagavulin on sale and I will be picking up a bottle of that on Saturday for a party that evening. My Scotch collection has developed pretty nicely over the last several months so I will be putting a dent in it.

Some of my recent acquisitions will get broken into over the next 4 days.

I will be enjoying:

Santa Julia Malbec with dinner tonight
MacAllan 10 Year Old Fine Oak Single Malt with a great cigar

And to cap it off, a Moserbrau Firepit Porter (a friend's homebrew that is wonderful)

I is a wonderful time of year!

Belgian ale is my preferred drink lately . St.Bernardus Christmas ale , Corsendonk Christmas Ale , Goulden Carolous Noel and probably a few Chimay Premier (red label) . I see a headache or 2 in my future .

A lot!

SN Torpedo Ale and Celebration, and I'm looking high and low for Founders Breakfast Stout. Is that a regional thing? Must have.

It is brewed in Michigan, and available here in Chicago. I am not sure about the West Coast, but I imagine one of the larger stores with a good selection of microbrews might carry it.

It appears from their website that it is not distributed to the west coast.

BlackDog · 12-24-2009, 04:33 PM

I totally forgot. I went out to the garage (my winter refrigerator) to get a Hop Whore, and there was a bomber of Southern Tier Krampus (Imperial Helles Lager) in the bag.

Whatever the in-laws have. My BIL might have something good, though. But I will be searching the greater Clermont FL area for my beloved Guatemalan Zaya, if there is any to be had, by chance. Otherwise, I will try to find a good rum of some sort **cough...Zacapa...cough**

SNKBYT · 12-24-2009, 06:44 PM

RUM rum RUM.......Zacapa and his cousin Zaya

It's on sale for $71 and change. Usually it's just north of $80 around here.
