Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

This is the beer menu where I work. I've had all of the drafts and about half of the bottles and cans. Right now, drinking a Six Points Bengali Tiger. Good stuff.

Also, I had almost forgotten I'd started this thread.

Recently, I tried premium tequila for the first time. Hornitos resposado. I just put it on ice and sipped away. I couldn't believe it's even in the same category as the vile bar-shot variety. It's changed my opinion on tequila entirely. Now, if only I could afford to buy some....

It's hoppier than any other lager I've tried, tasting much more like a milder Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, but with a cleaner finish and much less bitterness at the end. It's a really good mow-the-lawn, build-a-bike, put-in-a-coozie-and-go-toobing beer. You HAVE to dig the neon green can.

I like most stuff from Ska. I'm now drinking the Dogfish Head/Stone/Victory Saison Du Buff. Collaboration beers are hit or miss, but this is solid.

Pretty nice list, but some of those prices are wack. Also you should get them to ditch the Aecht Schlenkerla Helles and get their Fastenbier instead, if it's still available. One of the best beers I ever drank. Good to see you have Liefmans Goudenband though, another of my favs.

Tonight it's PBC Pennsylvania Pale Ale for me.

Once the Helles sells out we are getting the Fastenbier. Some of the prices are kind of high, but those are usually beers that no one near us has. Also, the part of town we're in is kind of "rich yuppy" friendly, so it works. Misskaz thinks our prices are a bit high too, though.

Nice sig...

Have to agree that anyone who has never tried premium tequila has yet to live a complete life.. my time in Mexico was also an opportunity to sample some outstanding tequila that, like a good Scotch, needs to be savoured and appreciated.

Found that the same applied to rum in that the small distilleries I bought from in the West Indies produced a rum of a quality you can rarely find here.

so, the 'resposado' label is about the age, and it's in the middle. clear (er, 'silver') is unaged, resposado a bit more...less than a year, and finally 'anejo'...less than three. and always on oak, please. if you liked the resposado, try an anejo.

(and to the point: i am, at this moment, drinking a ranger ipa...latenight swill. today has been all about the sierra nevada drafts...hoptimum, ruthless rye, and torpedo).

While furniture shopping with my better half we had a brief stop for a Troubador Magma in Shinjuku, then hit up a beer bar near home for a pint of Baird's Continental IPA, and their Kurofune Porter. Finished off with a can of Ao Oni at home. It was a good day.
