Not normally into fruit beers, but man did I enjoy the hell out of Shiner Ruby Redbird yesterday. The side of the case says it's the perfect summer beer (served "Ice Cold on a Hot Day"), and I am inclined to agree. Easy drinking lager with natural grapefruit and ginger flavor. Very, very solid given the nasty heat we've been dealing with.
I (and the gf) love ginger, so I got this the first summer it was offered. Not bad, but I will stick to my Leinenkugels Red for the perfect summer beer any day. I found this while working in Oshkosh, WI on tap - and I was hooked. I've actually traded professional services for this beer on occasion. Raining all day here today. We were going to take the dog to the lake. Now maybe skating? I don't know...you can't just lounge about at home all day because...well I'm not sure why I can't but the gf seems to be getting stir-crazy. Maybe I need a handle for the gf...Ballsack has PresentWife(tm) Misantrhropic has Mrsantrhopic. Lurkerette? Aww screw it, poor me another dark and stormy boss.
Well that was a hell of a night. If you haven't seen Pacific Rim, you should get on that. It's a good movie. Plus, the boyfr... er... fiance worked on it. Fuck.
Twisted Tea might be one of the most dangerous alcoholic beverages I've ever had in my life. I hate coolers and pre-mixed shit, but that stuff tastes exactly like iced tea. When it's hot out and you're pulling them out of the beer fridge - bad things can happen. I love it.
I just found out that the hotel my office booked for me in DC has guppy service. As in, they will deliver a guppy to my room upon request. And there is a complimentary yoga mat in every room. Cripes.
I thought you were fucking with us so I googled it. Yup a gold fish is supposed to be stress reducing.
I've been hotels that do that. The concierge carried the fishbowl to the room under his arm. Weird. As far as shoving marine life up your ass goes, I think an eel would be more of a rush, and a better "one-up" story, man-wise.
I can't remember the name of the hotel off the top of my head... but is this located on king street in Alexandria? I satyed there for a few weeks. Not the nicest hotel, but there are lots of bars and restaurants around!
I would feel like he was silently judging me as he handed me the fish bowl. Especially if he spoke with a British accent: "Here's the fish you ordered sir. Will there be anything else?"
Did you call the front desk and order a guppy? I can't imagine seeing this on a list of hotel amenities and not doing it. I'm used to amenities like "There's a laundromat across the street", "Walking distance to the bus", and "All night cafe next door." If they're going to offer to bring a fish to my room, well shit I'm going to be all over that.
Re: Re: 7/12/13 Weekend Drunk Thread This place is in Washington proper, I'm afraid. Looks nice but very boutique.
Am I the only one watching the EVO 2013 stream? This has pretty much been my whole sunday. Thie Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 finals has been crazy. Last year's winner, Filipino Champ, just got knocked out.
