Vertical Parallel?

[hopjack13]

now that sounds interesting........:D

[chazwicke]

I'm ready!

[fretlessman71]

Either hopjack's making a very strange innuendo-oriented joke, or I'm not understanding.... :confused:

[steveh]

I don't get it?

Bwahahaha! Had to. ;)

I think he's talking about tasting various vintages of such brews as SN Celebration Ale - in the Parallel format.

S.

PS - make for a freaking long afternoon...

[fretlessman71]

Boy, for that one I'd have to revert to my former status as abstainer... 2 is my general daily limit. And I don't get days off anymore, ever.

hey, maybe you need to not drink mon-fri then go 7 and 7 on sat & sun? :D

[Stodbrew]

Seven and Seven? But this thread is about beer, man! :p

[hopjack13]

ooops, i ment a flaming dr pepper, that kinda has beer in it :rolleyes:

[Stodbrew]

LOL!


How about a single malt scotch tasting! Now we're talking! It's kind of related to beer, anyway.

[Bruno_78]

How is scotch related to beer? pardon my naivete on the hard liquors.

[Stodbrew]

It's made from nothing but malt. Mmmm... delicious!

[Bruno_78]

Like the same malt as beer? or like those malted milk balls you get at the movies?

[Stodbrew]

Beer, man, beer!

Although, now I'm in the mood for some Whoppers! :D

[Bruno_78]

Mmm, Whoppers! with lettuce, tomato, onions and bbq sauce. MY way!

[Stodbrew]

Is there any other way?

[fretlessman71]

How did the Dairy Queen get pregnant?

The Burger King forgot to wrap his Whopper.... :eek:

[Bruno_78]

[Stodbrew]

That is damn funny!

thats just sick man.....:p
actually, i've never seen the dairy queen before.....is she hot?

[Bruno_78]

Dairy Queen is sick, I had one of their Flame Thrower burgers today!

Eww! Made me wanna ralph!

Did someone say Ralph?

[fretlessman71]

Yeah, well the next time she got smart... she went out with Mr. Softee! :D

[Stodbrew]

Yeah, Bruno, where is Ralph? I kinda miss the litte guy?

[hopjack13]

did mr softee give her the malt?
thats just sick man!:rolleyes:

Apparently you and I are the only one's that do. I've had SEVERAL requests NOT to bring him back. He's so cute and innocent though, a lot like me!

[Stodbrew]

All the more reason to bring him back!

[chazwicke]

Does Ralph have a human head? You guys look so much alike.

Single malt scotch is indeed a pleasure. Bruno you need to try a couple. I would recommend starting with Glen Fiddich or one of the more mainstream singles. Single malt scotch is a lot like beer and can have many flavor elements. From smokey to peaty. And if you ever visit a distillery you will see that the process is very similiar to brewing.....up to a point. Now I'm thinking I need to get back to Scotland because they have both single malts and cask ales!

[fretlessman71]

Any whiskey and I don't get along, period... it's a shame because it seems like they've really put a lot of artistry into the concept of the single malt scotch, and I have to miss out on it. OTOH, it's probably a good thing since I'm such a lightweight. :rolleyes:

[chazwicke]

I'm a lightweight too, well not literally, that is why I prefer the milds. Anyway, single malts are for sipping. you could handle a small taster.

[fretlessman71]

Actually, after a long talk with a bottle of JD when I was but a wee laddie, I've never gone near the stuff since without feeling my gorge rise.... :(

Hey... can you get bottled milds in your area? And is it just strength that determines whether or not it's a mild?

[Bruno_78]

Whiskey of choice? Southern Comfort. Ahhhh, so comforting!

[chazwicke]

A single malt is a special thing. I recommend that both you and Bruno give it a try. Remember, sip it.

Couldn't agree more. It is to be savored and enjoyed.

[Bruno_78]

I wouldn't even know what to look for. Is there something that's available nationally?

[fretlessman71]

Wish I could.... just makes me ill whenever I get close to it. Even the big beers aged in old bourbon oak barrels give me pause, tasty as they are...

[L.H.H.H.Brown]

If a man qualifies Southern Comfort as a whiskey I don't see sipping as a part of the equation.:p Yukon Jack is along the same lines. Unfortunately I also cannot appreciate whiskey/bourbon. I can only enjoy tequilas.

[Bruno_78]

Southern Comfort isn't sipped, It's best served Down The Hatch!

Of course, that was in my younger days.


hehehehehehehehehehe!

I like the scotches not the bourbons. And I like tequilas too. But 99% of the time I prefer Beer.

Look for Glenfiddich or Glenlivit. Good starters.

Don't mind me... I'm just jealous that I can't try this stuff! :(

[chazwicke]

Well beer is better anyway.

[steveh]

12 year old Bushmills. As served at O'Neill's Victorian Pub and Townhouse, Pearse St., Dublin.

S.

Or was it 16 years old..?

[chazwicke]

I've got a good friend whose 50th birthday is coming up. He is hinting around that he would like some 50 year old cognac.

[Bruno_78]

Is it me? or does anyone else have a problem with drinking something that's as old as they are?

50 years old? How much would something like that cost?

bushmill's black label or makers mark. i won't touch JD now that it is that weak bullshit.

[DreamWeaver]

I used to enjoy a sip of Yak (Cognac) every once in a while but now I'm a Beer Snob... thank you. :o

Brown liquor will kill ya!

It's you. You have a real age hang-up - wait a few years my friend, take nothing for granted!

Umm... Mr. Bruno sir, with all due respect, I believe Southern Comfort is a Liqueur not a whisky. Also my favorite non-beer cocktail, 100 proof of course.
