Friday afternoon beer

I've shoveled the drive 3 times in the last 24 hours and I made my Friday morning class. Time to settle down with something different for the palette. Started the session off with a couple of these...
I first had one at a Christmas party. It's an outstandingly well balanced ale that is seriously drinkable in large quantities. I think it's nearing the end of the season for winter ale since Beer's of the World had it on sale for 5.85 a 6 pack.
But, I don't want to spend all day drinking, so after two Festive Ales I stepped up to this..
Not bad. I still like the Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter better, but it is a solid B. But I couldn't possibly turn town a chance to buy a beer called Gonzo Imperial Porter. I'm working on #2 and after that it will be time to go back out and shovel some more. I think I'll do the back of the driveway this time.

Spices? Why don’t you just have a wine cooler. That would pretty fethtive.
ALE ASYLUM is unfiltered and all natural. We use no additives, preservatives, fruit, horse hooves, fish guts, or extracts. Our ingredient list: water, malt, hops, and yeast. This is what we mean when we say our beer is FERMENTED IN SANITY. You know who makes it, you know what it's made with. You know after having one you'll want another.
These guys brew pale ales, nut brown ales, amber, several different Belgians, Scotch ale, Stout, Porter, and God knows what else, and they do it with the same four ingredients.

I suffered through the occasional Bartles and James back in the day. And Dundee's Fesitve ain't a wine cooler. Not even close. Have you had the chance to taste any of Dundee's offerings? We're not talking Genny Cream Ale here. Besides, it was in the cooler section. Which meant that I could start drinking when I got home while the Gonzo chilled in the fridge.

Don’t believe Dundee is available in my neck of the woods. To each his own but I have no use for flavored beers, whether it’s flavored with fruit, spices or nuts.
In St. Maarten, we discovered a local tradition we had never seen before: homemade flavored rum. They take a bottle of white rum and put stuff in it, such as ginger and cinnamon, then let it sit at room temperature for some time. They put the bottle and shot glasses on your table at the end of the meal, gratis.

If I lived on a hill, I'd be shovelling out from a landslide about now.
It's raining cats and dogs lately -- I went outside, and immediately stepped in a poodle.

Tanqueray and club soda for me. Just came from the local pub where we unmercifully heckled Kelly, the bartender, and her D cups. Bloody hell. Gotta pick the kid up from ice skating w/friends a bit later, so nothing right now, but will probably be hitting the Labatts upon my return. Al I've got left in the fridge, dammit.

Hops is a spice.
a dried seed, fruit, root, bark, leaf, or vegetative substance used in nutritionally insignificant quantities as a food additive for the purpose of flavour, colour, or as a preservative that kills harmful bacteria or prevents their growth.
