Can't believe Yo hasn't bumped this thread yet. Gonna watch the crew get hammered as I get hammed to some Finlandia & Robinade & a Jacks frozen pizza with a z,

[GAME05]

well, kicked out of yet another beer-tour tasting room.

 

not belligerent or anything, just a "you've had enough" thing. this time it was the one in Monroe. do the groupon and it's $5 and i got about six pints of beer plus a glass and four free beers for the road. the girl who first gave me a time limit went to do a tour, so the new bartenders didn't know i'd been there for a while already. you have the option of skipping the tour, as if i'd want to see for the millionth time how beer is made.

The tour at Minhas was kinda fun, but the beer was subpar at best. Their liquor was also horrible. I did a Groupon thing on a date and we caught a nice buzz. They won't let you drink on the tour, correct?

[Getpaddled]

Yes, I'm still alive...... On my 3rd liver tho.....

 

omg... the history on this thread...... sooooooo much fun...

Nah, he cleaned up.

 

The archived threads are a great read though.

 

HALF A GAME BACK!

[LouisEly]

Had my annual review at work today. After doing a few repairs in the garage, I took my jacket off at around 4:50pm. First 16oz Tito's and water was finished by 5:11pm. Second one done by 5:35pm.

[Baldkin]

It's been more than a year. I'm 41 years old. I just felt the need, in the time of corona.... bourbon is delicious.

Jack Daniels Apple whiskey and 7up was a great mix tonight.

[LouisEly]

I've tried a couple of apple flavored whiskeys, haven't cared for them. I do, however, like Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey.

 

Over the last two nights I've put a good dent in a bottle of Rebel Yell bourbon whiskey. For taste/price (~$17/750ml), I think it's perhaps the best value out there.

I was riding my bike near Miller Park yesterday and saw a few folks tailgating in one of the empty lots.

Rebel Yell with a small splash of orange liqueur is amazing.

Now that I've moved into a minuscule kitchen I'm putting my cooking hobby on hold. But I realized that to scratch the itch I can learn how to make a good cocktail. Not whiskey cokes, but real cocktails. So far I've learned that an Old Fashioned actually isn't normally made with brandy.

 

Just ordered a bunch of bitters. Next challenge is finding a good booze store because down here they're controlled by the government and most all of them stink.

Neat, rocks, or with a mixer?

Rocks, specifically a single, large ice cube.

 

The orange liqueur I had was Royale Orange.

[MrTPlush]

A silicone tray to make giant square ice cubes was one of my single greatest purchases ever. I have a sphere cube one too, but the square ones are bigger and last longer.

[GAME05]

Do you do the whole "make clear ice" thing with it, too?

Since I have no one to impress I would rather not shrink my cubes and make them smaller. Since usually you would be stuck with a cloudy side to chip off a little bit.

 

I have a friend who does it for any sports party we do. He does the method that involves putting water in a small cooler to put in his freezer. Then when his little thin block of ice is ready he takes it out a chops it into cubes. It’s pretty cool, but probably because I’m not the one putting in all that work for an ice cube.

[LouisEly]

When ice comes out of my ice maker it's clear. If you take it out of the tray/ice maker/etc. soon after it is frozen it will be clear. It's when it starts to evaporate that it turns cloudy.

 

Put the tray in the freezer about 4 hours before you will be using it. Freezers are set at about zero degrees Fahrenheit; at that temperature, it takes about 3-4 hours for water to freeze in a tray. If looking for bigger cubes, go for four hours.

 

If there is a way to seal the tray, or put cling-wrap on it, allowing space for the water to expand as it freezes, that will delay how long it takes before the cubes start to turn cloudy.

Curious if anyone has seen Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve in a store around MKE?
