Ah Tom the next time i'm in Washington, i will have to stop by.
My beer palate has been on hold as of late. Even the wine consumption is on the downturn mostly b/c of short term time constaints.

However, today i have another computer to build. Looks like all i have left in the fridge is some Newcastle Brown (mmm, nutty goodness) and Boddingtons (mmm, bittter goodness).

I think this thread is up for the longest ever.

Do you think there is a more worthy topic for a perpetual thread?

I really like Boddington's in a can with that widget nitrogen thingy. Smooth and creamy.

Definitely ring me up next time you're in the Northwest. We have a humdinger of a baseball stadium in Seattle. Baseball is kind of like Hockey, but without the ice, fighting, clock and pads. You might really like it.

Bump.

Needed to increase my post count.

ObBeer: I enjoyed the Half-Pipe Porter from Employee-owned Full Sail Brewing in Hood River, OR. It is one of their seasonals. Very full-bodied and delicious. A great example of one of my favorite styles.

What do you guys like to do with Gin? The wife bought a bottle of Sapphire on impulse, and it's really not in my wheelhouse, mixologist-wise. Chill a glass, shake with ice, whisper the word "vermouth" and pour is about all I can bear to do.

Give it to other people.

Gin makes me feel like I'm going to hurl. I don't know why...

Gin and tonic with a lime is about the only thing I'll do with it. Sometimes I'll even add a dash of cran for some extra flavor/color.

I believe gin was invented so you had an absolute foolproof alternative in the event you could not, under any circumstances, find anything else to make you sick.

Gin and tonic is my favorite morning drink in Vegas, but I generally avoid them at home. Gin and pink grapefruit juice is alright, too. Don't Long Islands have a shot of gin???

The only libation I'll drink in the morning is a Bloody Mary. The best ones are thick and from scratch with fresh horseradish.

use the gin to clean lawnmower parts or auto parts

Thanks, you guys have been REALLY helpful.
