smokinjoe Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Alas, no Bud at BigRich’s last night at GBS Executive Council Meeting, but drank enough Irish Whiskey to flood the streets of Dublin. Today, it’s a Guinness Draught Stout out back on a gorgeous Spring day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems quite a niche marketing line aimed at the craft beer people who know what nitrogenated beer is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celebrating here! Corned beef cooking now, red potatoes later, Guinness, and Irish Whiskey later. The Guinness has a small plastic nitrogen filled ball inside the can and is attached to the top that is punctured when the tab is opened. Really does seem to make it creamier and promotes that nice cascading thing. Cheers and Happy St. Patrick’s day back at y’all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had that here for many years, only here we call it a 'widget' thanks to a nifty ad campaign by John Smith's (starring a deadpan UK standup Jack Dee): I was more surprised by the use of the wording on the can!

I have one in the fridge, and this thunderstormy day we’re having here may be getting me in that mood! I’ll pair it with a pour of Ardbeg 10 for the full effect.

PaulO Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 This is probably old news to some. I found out recently that Falls City is back to being brewed in Louisville. They have a tap room, several brands, and are selling canned beer in KY and neighboring states. After the holiday, I'll be hitting some stores.

smokinjoe Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 If scalping the brown and dormant Bermuda grass isn’t dirty enough, we’re smack dab in the middle of the pollen season. You can get an idea how much grass gets whacked from the pic I took before starting today, of the Shamrock I cut into it in March. I’m covered with so much crap I feel like Pig Pen from Peanuts. So, I guess a Hazy IPA is fitting... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just about perfect for my likes. I loved the Creature Comforts beers I had several (5, is that f-ing possible?) years ago when I was lucky enough to be down in Atlanta. It was a long hot summer and their sour beers were amazing. And could there be a better name for a beer than Duende? Love to taste that hazy IPA. It's the season. Well almost. And this is great beer. I don't drink a lot of West Coast IPAs but I look forward to this each year and this year's doesn't disappoint. A friend opined the other day that Lagunitas was a rock solid brewery and that he'd be happy with their IPA as his house beer. I'm going to have to pick up a six and put it to the test. And turning to the sour beers (that I know you can't stand, Joe) their Dark Swan is also terrific. Edited April 12, 2021 by scratchline 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
