Ymm, Beer

[devildeac]

Yep, I can see why drinking that Allagash Tripel just made you wish it was a Curieux. They just made their base beer better, as bourbon often does.

And I got 4 truly great local brews from accfan for those large format Curieux and all for very similar dollar amounts.

[devildeac]

I've tried some beers from Boulevard, but this definitely is my favorite. Readily available is right - always worth getting the whole 6 pack.

I'm thinking that's one of their 4 pack formats.

[OldPhiKap]

Yep, I've heard all those accolades before. (that sounds smarmy but it's not meant to sound like that)

No, not smarmy at all. It’s a crazy anomaly.

No one treats it’s patrons better. The difficulty is becoming a patron.

[devildeac]

Goodness if you think this is better than their BBA Quad then I definitely need to try and trade for one of devildeac's last 3 bottles

They'll be one available on 5/1...

Angel’s Envy is the best bourbon for an old fashioned. Fight me.





(Because I’m full of bourbon and feeling kinda belligerent).

That's all right, I'm full of something else and have been told that on more than one occasion .

Why would you mix a bourbon *that* good with *anything* else, except as you mentioned before, a drop or two of water?

[devildeac]

You’re literally wanting to be Notre Dame’s mascot now?

D'oh!!

(oh, wait...)

Posted because y’all may not be able to take the original Tom Waits version:

Excellent!!

[devildeac]

But for the brave:

Even better.

Ymm, Bourbon.

Excellent question.

I guess because it has the perfect blend of sensations to make it work. It’s not like you’re mixing with some overpowering mixer like Coke. It’s a liquor drink with quality liquors.

I guess.

No, wait: Ymm, Cocktails

[devildeac]

Thanks! Sounds simple enough. I'll look for Angel's Envy

The rum barrel-aged version is superb.

No, wait: Ymm, Cocktails

Am I in the wrong thread? I must admit I tend to blur my paradigms and organizational structures.

Nah, I certainly see some overlap/crossover here with beer and bourbon, about which I know a lot and a little, respectively. There's def a Ymm, Bourbon thread. Not sure if there's a Ymm, Scotch thread. My geezer-ness seems to recall a Ymm, Cocktails thread several years ago, but I'm not going to go searching for it, but might drop a post or two in it if someone else found it.

Good deal.

I used to be a mildly OCD stickler for organizational buckets. Then I read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance in high school and realized that these “buckets” were just arbitrary mental constructs with multiple permutations based upon artificial and manipulative criteria. So I mellowed out about it considerably.

Still, I realize that my relaxed approach to such things is not universal. So I feel best to ask.

It sounds like GBS is worth driving to NC to get a case!

It is worth the $175 or so for the set. As a family tree member I can order unlimited number of sets so let me know and we can figure out how to mule it after delivery. If you order one directly just list me as the proxy and I’ll pick it up.

Night shift, so beer in the morning after getting off work...like normal people do only it’s 8am. Had 2nd BBA Velvet Walrus on Raspberry. Milk stout, raspberry purée, bourbon barrels. Really different after 30 minutes warming up, really better. Only 9%.

Mr. Walton, is that you?

Accfan delivers in many ways.

Good for a nice, long morning nap/sleep after work.
