    Yes, they are kind of heading this mixology bullshit. Cocktail bars now exist, and while thats not bad, its super hipster. If you drink a Moscow Mule you may very well be a hipster. If your'e starting to like gin now because all your friends do, you may be a hipster.

    Hipsters are moving away from beer and towards liquor.

    That's a shame because i like cocktails, but the fortunate thing is I make complex drinks at home because people who hog bartenders for their five-item brews are douchebags.

    ... In crowded bars, that is. If you're lounging, go lounge Dogg.

    Its almost a shame how they ruined PBR. In Denver, its only trendy douchebags drink PBR, which is actually kind of ironic considering it use to be very blue collar. Maybe thats why they did it.

    Translation: "I am a Pabst fan"

    *sticks finger down throat*

    Sorry hipsters and Tim McGraw fans, but that stuff tastes like the pee-pee to this cat.

    I don't care for the foreign extra. Tastes like burned coffee to me. Drink up, more for you.

    Now, I do like Xmas beers. Just this year, I don't care. Might be because it's 83 outside and who wants to drink a Delerium Noel with their balls stuck to their thighs? It is Thanksgiving and I can hang at the beach drinking a Kalik. By the way, Kalik is becoming my go to summer beer. It is remarkably good. Tastes like fucking sunshine.

    As for my imaginary bar, I have two ideas. An Absinthe bar with all the fancy shit that would fail miserably, but gloriously, in a year. A real absinthe collection with fountains on the bar top, fine French wine list, whiskeys, a couple craft beers, whole place lit dim like an old world brasserie. People would remember it fondly, possibly lighting a candle on the anniversary of its doors closing.

    The other idea: a shit hole Key West style rum shack where someone knows how to make a rum drink. Affordable, $2 happy hour kind of place. 20ish rum drinks from Caribbean to Tiki, couple top shelf sipping rums, only a handful of beers like solid lagers and nothing fancier than some IPAs, and a capable hard liquor list. Spend $50 on decorating the place. That might actually have legs. Nothing makes me happier than a cold night and a tiki drink soaked in 151 and set on fire.

    There's a place called the West End in Boulder which is turning into my ideal bar. Their bourbon list is beyond belief and they have good food. Only problem is the bar is small, which is actually kind of a good thing. Also when you ask for a manhattan they make it how they should, not how you want it, which makes sense considering you're usually talking fine whiskey. There is a super hipster area adjacent to downtown out here, and while the food and everything is good, everything is just expensive. Which is why I guess the true hipsters are being forced to 5 points which is known as stab town to me and my friends.

    I feel sorry for anyone who lives in Brooklyn, the hipster community there is more than I could bear. Btw if I see another hipster riding a fixie wearing plaid I'm going to flip shit and tackle them. Fixed Speed bicycles suck, thats why people invented the free wheel hub as soon as the bike was invented. The only reason anyone would choose to ride one is because they are trying to be trendy and cool.

    If only it was cheaper I would drink it every day. But it's 29 here now and I'd like to try a delerium Noel. And for me rum drinks are good year round

    A lot of my friends think I am nuts for preferring bourbon over rye. Rye is such a Canadian-loved whiskey. But they don't know what they're missing south of the border. Namely:

    Knob Creek, Four Roses single barrel, Maker's, Woodford Reserve, 12 year Wild Turkey, Elijah Craig and last but not least Booker's need I say more?

    Nope, those are all stellar choices.

    Four Roses makes great stuff.

    Venison is good, elk is better. My favorite thing in the world is a medium rare elk chop.

    I love a good steak, but if I could only eat one more thing before I go, it'd be a massive piece of Otoro. I'm not a huge sushi guy but that just works for me.

    Hipsters don't eat elk, they're vegetarian because eating meat is so barbaric. And do try that pescatarian bullshit either, fish have feelings too.

    My current favorite gin drink is 1 oz gin + 1 oz orange liqueur (I use triple sec because my ass is cheap, but you could totally do cointreau or gran marnier) and a squeeze from a wedge of lime. Top with bubbly water of your choice. Mmmmm.


    Since we're bitching about bartenders, how about we also bitch about people who use those premade mixes at home. The most popular one: margarita mix. Bitch, do you not know that a margarita is three ingredients? A mix plus tequila is two ingredients. Just make the thing from scratch and you have something that tastes much better than that chemical swirly you bought from a grocery store.
    (I assume, because I personally hate tequila and especially margaritas).

    For me, the process of making a cocktail is half the fun. Not tonight though. I took the kid to Great Wolf Lodge, so the only drinky on my menu is one of those mini boxes of wine.
