What's in your glass?

[Guiness]

Borrowing a thread idea from a homebrewer's list, starting a thread about what everyone is drinking during the draft (making it on topic so it can stay in the football forum!)

I'm starting off with a wheat beer I've got on draught. It was supposed to be a Hefe, but the stupid thing cleared up. That's just my warm-up though, next in line is a Heady Topper!

red that beer (Labatt blue) is popular out west....ie Alberta

I'm not sure if anyone has tried this but I swear by a new Molson product called Molson "M". It's a light microcabonated beer that's smooth and has little to no after taste and it's light or an approx.12 oz bottle (341 ml) has "only' 75 calories.

Mae and I were enjoying Miller Genuine Draft and Molson Export but have switched to Molson"M" and it's deliscious and very refreshing clean beer.

We also drink Highballs with:

Gibson's Finest Rye Whiskey (12 Year Old)...great with 7-Up and Ginger Ale on the rocks:

and lately it's Rum and Barbados - Mount Gay Rum and Pepsi on the rocks. Here is a pic of our liquor cabinet (in our dreams):

Just say no to the 'M' Woody! Micro-carbonated, wtf is that? The concept is up there with downloading more ram.

Had another of my wheat beers, moving onto a Kilanna's El Dorado Red. Watching the Habs and Bruins go into the third at 0-0 and keeping an eye on a draft ticker.

The Heady Topper was all I expected, btw. I highly recommend it to anyone who can get their hands on some - paid handsomely for it, but don't regret it at all.

OK fill your boots on this beer knowledge and Molson "M".

http://worldofbeer.wordpress.com/2011/04/15/%E2%80%9Cmicrocarbonated-%E2%80%9D-huh/

" ... Molson M is “injected with CO2 through smaller, finer bubbles with precision and consistency to attain a level of carbonation that we believe to be close to perfection.” ..."

I'm keying one the word "perfection" and have two thumbs up. I'm a simple beer drinker. Not simply a beer drinker.

This beer is really fresh to the taste and not heavy and there's very little aftertaste all which Mae and I like.

I really cannot imagine tiring of this beer Guiness. It's great with food. It came out about three years ago and sold for about $28.00 a case back then and we've got it for anywhere between $32.95 - 34.95 in the stores in our area.

The HABS lost soon intoOT after a scoreless three periods.

I'm not surprized and simply hope this series stays close and well "of course" see the Montreal Canadiens win.

I wasn't planning on much participation in this Draft but I was wrong.

Mae watched the hockey game and sdaid that bot goalies looked very sharp. She said PK Subban played a very physical game banging Briuns all over the ice. She said he paid for that with the attention of the game officials and a penalty.

lol! You're buying that marketing buzzword? Read to the bottom of that very same blog post and the guy who's writing it says he has no idea what they're talking about! I've tried it, thought it was familiar - and in a blind comparison to Canadian found they were identical.

Heck of a game tonight - both goalies stood on their head. I was more than happy with the split in Boston, but now they go back there all tied up.

Guiness it's been some time since I drank a Canadian.

I don't really get it but right now I really enjoy this Molson "M". I'm generally somewhat fickle with my desires for beer. I've drank so many different ones in my adult lifetime. I used to collect different brands when In was travelling to the states a lot.

The hockey game last night. I wore my Irish Green Habs hat all day yesterday and also a carey Price T-shirt and damn if I didn't watch a second of that game. I feel guilty as "H" but this draft just sucked me in again.

Mae watched and hollered and hooted for both of us. she loves the Montreal Canadiens to.

After the game she made me feel a tad guilty. If I was cheering hard for the HABS might they have scored the OT goal!?

I hope the next game isn't Sat. afternoon. I want to give it 100% of my attention as it will be a battle.

I hope that PK Subban has the best game of his life. Max Pacioretty gets on track. Carey Price is solid and we'll ( Les Habitants) be OK.

Ugh, thanks for bringing back the memories. Smooth start horrible corn aftertaste.

Our fraternity could buy a barrel of Grain Belt for $19.99 when I was in college. So at the end of the semester when funds were running low we would change from Old Milwaukee to Grain Belt in the tapper.

To the famous Doors song:
Well, show me the way to the next Grain Belt bar
Oh, don't ask why Oh, don't ask why

Andeker, no wait, they don't make that anymore.

[Guiness]

Heard of Grain Belt, don't know that I've ever had one. Which iteration of the brewery are you talking about? Looks like it's gone through a few ownership changes and brewery locations since the late 70's. $1.99 for a six is pretty funny, price of regular beer in Ontario is $12 for a six...so about $1.99/beer!

Woody, if I'm drinking a lager (which is not often) my own favorite is Creemore Springs - Molson owned, but as far as I know still operated independently and it's brewed about an hour from you.

I've lots of beer in but maybe after some yard work I'm down to the slop shop for a look see and that brand of beer.

I had a Cream Ale by Muskoka Brewery, Bracebridge ,Ontario anjd that was dark and earthy with some bitter and aftertaste. It had to be chilled right down to say below 38 degrees F to really shine it's best.

I'm still drinking coffee right now but a Maritimer loves Friday and we certainly think of that day as one to celebrate the weekend with brew.

Right now I'm watching Tony Manziel suffer as he falls past the Arizona Cardinals to this point in my draft recording. TT and the Pack is on the clock and they say it's between Haha Clinton - Dix and a TE or WR.

let me see..we get Haha Clinton -Dix the best safety range wise in the draft. he looks graet on the tape provided as he hits like a Mack Truck.

The last time the Packers chose a FS this high in a draft (Round 1) it was FS George Teague in 1993 Rd. 1 Pick # 29.

Free Safety George Teague:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Teague#Green_Bay

OK Johnny Manziel was finally picked and I can't believe the reception and everyone relief for him.

He walks out on that stage with attitude and like a STAR. He's got something now to prove.

In Cleveland where it was expected he might go early in Round One ...so what te heck....


"Johnny ....eat them up. Rub it in their faces. "

In Cleveland...in Cleveland..............................in CLEVELAND.


mmmmmmm ....The BROWNS .....Their "the Maple Leafs" of the NFL. They also have a very decent "D".... and now Johnny " Mr. Football" Manziel.

An interesting watch.

Actually that stuff gives me heartburn. It seemed OK the first time Mae and I tried it but ... no.

Some of those fruit juices are good though at brecky.

I drink apple cider vinegar daily in juices... for a tonic and overall good health benefits. That stuff is cheapmand it worlks marvellously. So many benefits.

I've got some Glenmorangie as well, it's quite a nice Scotch. They make a couple (few?) 12yr olds, the one I have right now is aged in Sherry casks.

It's great to be a Canadien when it comes to much variety and taste in beer. The brewers are experimenting with so many flavours now that it's fun to pick out a few to sample.
