A new, sober, thread about single malt scotch whisky thread.

[Krilons Resa]

never heard of it.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I did a google search for american single malt and it came up.
Uses different kinds of wood. I want to try it.

on my thrid drink already ... heading to a kids party in a few hours so I have to get inebriated

 

[lurch70]

had a bottle of this Aass Classic tonight ... Norwegians really make some ass beer.

[dorian gray]

haha

 

[lurch70]

hitting these 2 places up after work on Friday ...

hipsters know their booze ...

things are going to get ugly

 

[dorian gray]

that first place looks kinda cool. I'd like to sit there all by myself and pound whisky

 

[lurch70]

So I didn't go to either place but was in the vicinity at others. There is this thing going on in Williamsburg bars where they have some outside dude making light bar food during certains hours. At this perticular bar this dude made some kick fucking ass pulled pork sammiches. And also mac and cheese. WTF is it with hipsters and mac and cheese. Its like their french fries. That shit is toddler food. No bearded burly man should eat that with bourbon in a bar.

watch this video. this guy is just the most amazing guy. i wanna drink the hell out of this.

 

[lurch70]

the guy is a heck of a salesman. i would have downed 2 drinks already during his history lesson.

that being said mint based drinks rule, in the summer especially.

i will HAVE TO try this ...

 

[einride]

i fully intend to grow my own spearmint this summer but i keep forgetting to buy seeds

if i manage to do that, i will make mint juleps

 

[lurch70]

hahahah ...

like a woman's heart, it gives us its best aroma when bruised (takes out Thor's hammer and crushes ice)

 

[lurch70]

someone jsut sent me a bday party invite by email that partially read:

"If you find yourself in the neighborhood earlier, then please join me for a mint julep at the Derby party at .... etc."

2 times hearing about this drink hours apart ... never hearing about it EVER before.

cue twilight zone music ... or hipster "now trending" police.

 

[Hell Mike]

or hipster "now trending" police.

hipster

Goddamn dude. It's clearly an obsession at this point. SEEK HELP.

 

[lurch70]

hahahh ... i have to record for you my daily encounters.

I am in the middle of the swarm!

 

[Dick Sirloin]

I feel your pain, bro. I come here to escape, goddammit, not hear more about them!!!


But yes, record your daily encounters. Comedy gold potential. Then you could be all ironic and start a blog/Twatter account.

Haha you will manage... Mint is notorious for being the easiest plant to grow EVER. I guarantee that if you were to drop seeds on your law, you would have a mint forest in about three months. My mother cannot get rid of it on her property... It just takes over man. Very tasty, also try chocolate mint.. Great rich chocolate flavor.

 

[lurch70]

ok, this mint julep thing ... wtf now ...
