I think I'm done with alcohol for the day. Finished off my bottle of Compass Box Spice Tree scotch, and now I've made a pot of coffee with my pourover pot I got from goodwill. I got a permanent filter for it(thought I already had one), and wanted to see how well it made my staple coffee; Wegmans Traditional. a little on the weak side I think. I'll examine it later, and see what I can about partially plugging the drain hole, so the grounds steep a bit longer before going into the pot.
I don't typically drink that much :^DThe worst is when you go to bed knowing you're done with alcohol for the day AND the next.
I don't typically drink that much :^D
I'm generally good for a single drinking session in any 24hour period. IOW, I'll drink til I'm finished(I don't like getting really drunk), and that's it for that day. Today for instance. I prefer drinking early. It would have been around 10am, but I had to run some errands. I started around noon, and quit... I dunno, around 2pm? I had a buzz, and that was good. It's all out of my system now, but I doubt I'll drink anymore. Doesn't feel right. Tomorrow's a new day though, and we'll see.
Drinking season's coming to a close. I like alcohol in the winter. I'll go a week or two without drinking anything at all when it gets warm. Alcohol doesn't go well with heat for me. It makes me notice the heat more.
Most people wouldn't know I'm drinking, or how much I've had. I change very little. I'm more inclined to talk, but that's about it. I wouldn't do anything drunk I wouldn't do sober. I just sit and quietly judge the people making asses out of themselves :^D"Drink too much" is relative. I have never drank to the point where I made an ass out of myself or anything. I guess everyone is different... some people get angry when they drink, others get more relaxed. I always tell people no matter how many drinks you put in me you will never get me to do karaoke. I'll pass out before then.
Lots of nom noms here in your post - but in particular I was about to post about Avery Tweak... I went to a local place and picked up a growler of that stuff last night. HOLY-Shite, that stuff is amazing. I don't give many 5 out of 5 reviews for brews, but that was one of them for me. Absolutely amazing, delicious, rich...
Of all your beers posted - which one of the dark beers (or belgians) did you like best?
EDIT: And can you come to Houston and take me out for beers? I love your taste.
It's too hard for me to pick a single favorite. Tweak would definitely be up there however. Callipygian and Uncle Jacob's Stout are two more from Avery you should try to check out if you can. Most Prairie stouts are excellent as well. Next time I'm down in Houston we'll have to try to meet up...I'm sure there are plenty of good bars/taprooms in the area
