OT - Beer drinkers unite!

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.

You should be able to find 2 or 3 other brands that are gluten free, if the store has a wide enough selection. fyi

Probably true, sometimes I forget that I live on an island...

I went out and blew some money on supplies for a kegerator. Got a cheap keg and a free fridge, so I figured why not? But doh it got expensive. Not smart when I have the boat repair to pay for still.

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

I stopped in this afternoon to pickup some Arrogant Bastard Ale....... I'll admit, I'm not man enough to pay $17 per 6-pack for this stuff.... I passed.
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
Plus tonight's menu





I will say, though, it was a very tasty brew. I recommend

How hard is it to find this Leinenkugel's beer, Scott? I looked in two different beer stores that sell all sorts of speciality beers this weekend with no luck. Is it worth hunting down?

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.

This thread has really got me looking at other beers in the stores, it seems I'm trying something new each weekend.

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



I decided to pick up a few new spices to try.



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.
