Wine and beer

[bill5]

I am sure that it's a liqueur

Then why did you ask?

New one on me. Always tasted like whiskey and I've always seen it in the whiskey section of ABC stores but whatever!

 

[bill5]

Dogfishhead IPA. None better.

 

[Rhamiel]

speaking of Liquor
I had this drink made with champagne grapes and with some brandy added to warm it up
very sweet, very heavy, kind of like Port Wine

How can any upstanding Catholic forum not have a thread on this

For those who like either, what are you prefs? I'm all over the map.....

And while not a snob for either (ugh that pretentiousness makes me ill), I don't drink utter swill either.

Wine I like all kinds, but tend to go reds in winter, whites in summer.

Beer similar...darker, heavier stuff in winter, lighter in the summer.

You?

Wine

I had a hard cider made in northern Ohio called Griffin
it was very good, very traditional

VA has a lot of good microbreweries lately. I just got a 12 pack of Devils Backbone, good stuff

Bourbon

From Rebel country

With a CSA battle flag on the bottle

Bourbon is a STRAIGHT whiskey and unpolluted by being blended with other whiskeys of the same type.

Mind numbing, IQ lowering bourbon

That's the beverage for me.

How can one participate in this thread when it under a red confederate flag which became the symbol the KKK during the civil rights movement?

A good friend of mine, Fr. Larry Beane, a Lutheran Pastor, US military reserve Chaplain from Gretna Louisiana, is also a Civil War re-enactor and certainly does not espouse the evil that some associate with that flag. For people who are from the south, it is a part of their history. That others have chosen it as a symbol of there evil does not make it intrinsically evil (remember all of those Christmas and Easter are Pagan threads?).

Here's Larry in his roll as confederate chaplain; I think that's a confederate flag on his pulpit:

Here is Larry at his day job:

History is history.

my birthday was last Wednesday, I saw one of my friends today, he gave me a bottle of Gnarly Head Old Vine Zinfandel
I have not tried it yet, probably going to have it with some steaks

I started making my own steak rub with ground up dried mushrooms, salt, black pepper, red pepper, and a very little bit of sugar to help it char up real good

I think that would go well with the Zin

Bravo!

Now, what are you drinking?

 

[MarkRohfrietsch]

A locally micro brewed English Pale Ale. I have it on tap at home.

 

[bill5]

I'm jealous. The Brits are king of beer making.

I'll pass on the food though.

sie germans would like to have a word with you.

 

[bill5]

pffft

Their beer is fine but it can't touch English beer, stride for stride.

Besides the Brits can't make food OR wine to save their life, tell the Germans they can't have it all (that's so German of them!)

 

[Antigone]

sie germans would like to have a word with you.

And the Belgians, as well.

The KKK has always used the American flag far more than the Rebel flag.

But that's not the point of this thread.

Let's keep this one light and fellowship.
