Oh yeah! I remember that. Last time I drank that one was 7-8 years ago. When I was at BevMo in CA this last Christmas I just got their Smoked Porter and it was something different they had printed on that one.

For those close to Chattanooga TN, the 16th annual Southern Brewers Festival is on Sat. Aug. 28th. 30 brewers and over 70 different beers.
With music by Big head Todd and the Monsters.
Probably true, sometimes I forget that I live on an island...Quote:

Boat repairs are much easier when there's beer involved, so good choice on getting the kegerator set up :)Quote:

Instead, I picked up a bottle of Fischer Amber. More for the bottle design than anything else, Lorrie and I thought it'd be a cool (empty) bottle to display in our outdoor area. Of course, I'd HAVE to drink the contents :rolleyes:
Plus tonight's menu

I will say, though, it was a very tasty brew. I recommend
Honestly, I'm not sure it's worth trying to hunt down. If you happen to run across it, I suppose it's worth a shot. It had more of a...... Mike's hard lemonade taste to it. The Sam's summer, of course, was a much better tasting "summer" brew. I picked up the Leinenkugels because it was there, on the shelf, and I said why not.Quote:

Yeah the Shandy is more like lemonade than beer imho. Dont care for more than a sip. The ladies like it though.
Shishkabobs and fried green beans tonight. I ran out of Head Country spices/seasonings, so I stopped by to see my buddies at the BBQ shop http://www.bbqislandinc.com/
One of the guys down there is a fellow Supra owner, and former rider for Liquid Force. I'm yet to get him out on my boat though
http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n...photo-48-2.jpg
I decided to pick up a few new spices to try.
http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n...photo-47-3.jpg
I marinaded the steak in the Head Country marinade for a little over an hour, then sprinkled some of the Bovine Bold on the steak before throwing the skewers on the grill. Wow, is all I can say, the steak tasted great. I seasoned the Chicken with the Three Little Pigs, which was tasty, but, admitadely, I over-cooked the chicken just a touch.
Tonights beer is Corona, and GO CARDS!!!
Did a number in the 4th QTR on the texans tonite........
Went to the beer store yesterday and picked up the last case of Sam Adams summer ale that they had. Turns out it's Octoberfest now. We're moving into fall soon enough.
Also picked this up and it was a very tasty beer. Had a bit more bite to it than I expected from a summer ale, but still a very good beer.

I used to get the big bottle of Arrogant Bastard so it was a little more reasonable cost wise. I like getting beer with cool bottles to display too. Speaking of good beer and cool bottles...
http://blogs.wvgazette.com/beerstoyo.../11/chimay.jpg
If your wife likes cool bottles, one fun thing to do is get a wine that has a cool bottle. Once the wine is gone, go buy one of the stopper pouring spouts like they use in the bar and fill the bottle with dish soap, then put it on the counter next to the kitchen sink.
I had the 20 oz. bottle of arrogant in my hand for a while, but dang, it was still $6+, I was having a definite moment of cheapness.....or, I knew it'd go down in 30 seconds, and thought I was better served throwing down a 6-er of M. Lite http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m...ghingSmile.gif
I like the idea about the wine bottle, buuuutttt, the indoor kitchen is too clean/kept/proper, so she wouldn't let a wine bottle fly on the counter by the sink. The outdoors is where we get to unwind and cut loose. Let's see..... how can an empty wine bottle serve us after it's original life...
salt and pepper shakers were handmade by one of my daughters as a fathers day gift - so that's out.... if it's a shorty bottle - maybe fill it with spices for the que.....sauces - but they you'd have to refer it....spittoon - now that's just gross
Too easy! Fill em up with citronella an use em to keep bugs away. All you need is some oil and wicks.Quote:

Finally picked up my new weber today. Ran by the butcher's shop on the way home and picked up about ten pounds of meat. Here's the first batch of it, and the first time grilling with my new toy.

Mani,
Making me HUNGRY!!!
Popz, that's a lot of stuff crammed in to the space, but looks nice and functional. https://forum.supraboats.com/images/icons/icon14.gif
Look how shiny and new that grill is.....purdy! Give us more info, which model did you decide on? Lets see a full pic of that sexy thang.
Tonight's menu was;
steak marinaded in Stubb's beef marinade for 2 hours
beef ribs seasoned with Three little pigs BBQ rub and AZ Hatch seasoning, topped with Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce
broiled corn
chopped potatoes grilled with veggies
Beer was/is Miller Lite. I need to order some beer line cleaner for my keg lines before I pick up my next keg(s). I need to put that on the front burner though, high school football starts next weekend and we're walking distance to our Alma mater, which is the same school our daughter goes to now. I just love to remind her that her dad's picture is hanging in the gym and anytime she feels lonely she can just wander in there..... :)
Stubb's and Sweet Baby Rays always have a place in my pantry. Good choice, and it's sounds awesome.
What did you get your picture up for? Football?
Highschool football around here is taken very serious. Plano had a great team a couple of years ago and I went to a bunch of games. We ranked #8 in the rivals ranking, but last year we didn't even makes top 100.
Yep, football!!! (I made it to the "paying" ranks of the game) My wife calls me Al Bundy because I'm always talking about the "5 TD passes in a game"..... Back in the day, we were top 5 in the Nation at one point. Which, as you know, and being from Texas, that is a huge deal, especially for a school from AZ. Texas is an entirely different level and enthusiasm for high school football than most states. The top AZ high school football coach from the 80's/early 90's moved to Texas to try and make a name for himself....... he returned to Arizona after 3 season's with his tail between his legs. TX football is no-joke.Quote:

I like Stubbs too. Much of the Stubbs sauses are gluten free. The Stubbs moppin' sauce is great for ribs...
My son an friend discussing what beer they like.
Rusty, what kinda beer are they into?
As requested, here's the picture's of the grill when I brought her home, and also a sampling of what's for dinner tonight. Tilapia and Steelhead.

Come on guys, I've gotten a bunch of good ideas from you guys. I'm even going to give cooking the London broil a shot, and I hadn't even heard of that. Let's keep this thing going.
That's a great looking grill Mani, Weber makes such a nice product https://forum.supraboats.com/images/icons/icon14.gif
And the Tilapia and Steelhead look good. How'd it turn out? We used to do a lot of fishing and eating of Rainbow growing up, but since I met my wife, I haven't had much fish. She's not a big fan, so I have to try and cook it while I'm cooking something else for the rest of the gang.
We're heading up to hang with my Aunt/Uncle at their lake house for the weekend. We have Friday night dinner, which will be Stubb's steaks, sliced potatoes, green beans, corn, and salad, nothing fancy. They've got Saturday night dinner, which I believe will be smoked chicken, veggies, and ?. He puts the bird on the smoker in the morning before we hit the water for the day.
Ok, I'll admit....... I drank a 12-pack tonight :)
Should I be proud, or embarrassed?
I did have some beef ribs to go with the beer, however.
......its OK , the ribs made it OK...hehehehehe
Friday's adventure:
* flat brisket
* 2 pork butt's
Didn't take an after photo, here they are ready to go into the smoker.
http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-...0_247396_n.jpg
That is the exact grill I have. I did have a freindl put the lid down on the side burner with it still on and it toasted the knob. Great grill I converted it to propane off the house. works great. Beer of choice.Quote:

Here's the latest for me...finally got a chance to do some bbq since the move. It's been hectic. I got a variety pack of Sam Adams (Black Lager, Irish Red and Coastal Wheat). All great beers. Cooked a pork shoulder on the smoker and also did some onions and cheese stuffed tomatoes. Good stuff!

I'm going to do a couple chickens here in a week or two with some friends. I'll probably brine them and either cook them on the smoker or indirect on the charcoal. I'll make sure I get some beer and food shots on those, as well.
Looks GREAT!
The place my wife works (a fitness center) has been moving to a new facility for
the last month -- it's been crunch time and we've worked ALL last week and weekend
getting things ready. I took them all a healthier lunch today (they've been eating
pizza and crap, just easy stuff).

I cooked my first thing of chili and it was awesome so now im looking to cook up some ribs..
Im looking for some good old home made bbq rib recipes and this thread seems like we got the best of the best!
Does anybody else cook them in a over first then grill them? Whats your method? I only have a big 4 burner stainless grill and an electric oven so bare with me!
Looks yummy and healthy!
With just a gas grill and an oven - I'd season em up liberally (to make up for lack of charcoal or smoke), then sear them real good (all sides and ends) over a hot hot grate (infrared if you've got it on the gasser) to seal the juices in, then wrap tight in aluminum foil and finish off for a few hours @ ~325 in the oven. My neighbor (no smoker) uses this method & they fall off the bone.
Ribs are tricky sometimes, a lot of trial and error. If there's one thing to remember, it's "slow and low"
1st option is low and indirect heat for a couple hours. Indirect heat to avoid flare-ups. Use the top rack of the grill, or have the outside burners on with the ribs in the middle.
2nd option is to put them in the oven @ 250 for an hour, then finish em' up on the grill @ about 300 for an hour.
I've screwed up my share of ribs, and certainly haven't figured out the secrets to perfect ribs. I have been talkin' "rib cooking" with a good buddy of mine that now lives in OK (he's a sooner boy, but I don't hold it against him :)), and he makes some damn good one's!! We send each other grillin-text's every weekend, so here's his from this past weekend
http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n...r/photo-47.jpg
Yeah, ribs are tricky with a grill, but the suggestions so far are good. You could also keep them on the grill wrapped in the foil after searing and also set a smoker box in there and keep filling it with wood chips for a good smoky flavor.
Scott,
Where is your buddy at in OK?
Wow, I've missed some good ideas being in Missouri for the past week. Sounds like I need to run by the butcher's and the beer store to try some of this stuff out.
