The way I know it, it's:
1/2 pint Guinness
1/2 shot Jameson
1/2 shot Irish cream
And then yes, drop the shot glass into the beer (doesn't work so well at bars that use plastic shot glasses) and chug because it curdles quickly.

YUMMY, even if it's a non-PC name.

That's quite the achievement! :beer:

I had a Harpoon Celtic Ale last night... wasn't all that impressed. The Hooker Nor'Easter was good, though.

Yeah, this must be right, thought something was misssing. I'm not a fan of the Jameson, Irish Cream must be what makes this so "YUMMY"

as much as i wear my irish with pride, irish whiskey is too much for this lad.

Had 3 new beers last night:

Hoppy Feet Black IPA - Very fine malty IPA. Nice malt intro with a strong, hoppy finish. Never heard of it before. Delicious.

Southern Tier Unearthy IPA - Also on tap. Very tasty indeed. There was a strange taste I couldn't quite place. Pretty standard IPA fair.

Birrificio Del Ducato Sally Brown Caffe - A dark, very smooth, VERY drinkable (dangerously so) beer. Brewed with espresso beans (has a great coffee taste in it) and goes down like water. Barely over 5%. I could have had 10 of them. Doesn't sit like a lead brick like some other dark beers do. So good.

I had some IPA in a bottle from the Netherlands but I can't remember its name. It was my favorite beer of the night. They have another bottle of it at the shop. I will go back and find out.

BXL is great.

Picked up a 22 of Shipyard's Double Thumper (11.2% alcohol). Heard it is good, so looking forward to drinking it tonight! Anyone try it?

had this the other day - I wasn't impressed. kind of flat and alcoholic - reminded me of one of my first homebrew experiments.

Had a Samichlaus over the weekend. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/285/776

BANG! ZOOM! Straight to the moon. Whole lot going on in that beer- really strong, really really sweet. Not, I repeat, NOT a session beer.

marcski · Mar 18, 2011

Smuttynose Old Brown Dog last night. Pretty good. Not great.

Too bad, as I like the regular Old Thumper. At least at $6 and 11.2% alcohol I will get the bang for my buck!

powpig2002 · Mar 18, 2011

anyone try stone vertical epic. heard it was the necture of the gods. ended up dumping 3/4 of a bomber. i don't waste beer. should age it for a year i guess. my opinion is if you put a turd in the cellar for a year, it's still a turd. glad i didn't buy 2. it's not for me.

roark · Mar 18, 2011

Haven't had the latest, I enjoyed 07.07.07 and 08.08.08. Missed the last few i guess

powpig2002 · Mar 18, 2011

did you age them? arrogant bastid was way too much beer for me. oaked was too expensive. think i'll give up on stone. dogfish treats me good.

BeanoNYC · Mar 21, 2011

Picked up a Rogue Dead Guy yesterday. Not bad. Pretty malty but balanced well with the hops.

severine · Mar 21, 2011

I had a lot of Irish Red Hookers over the weekend.

Some Wolaver's, too. I bought Wolaver's in the bottle before and didn't like it--much better on tap.

BeanoNYC · Mar 21, 2011

Speaking of Wolavers! I won an Otter Creek Snowboard a few weeks ago at Stowe. Forgot to tell everyone.

jaywbigred · Mar 21, 2011

I a fantastic, new-to-me beer while I was in Arizona for the weekend. Odell IPA. Fantastic. Immediately texted my buddy the beer guy to see if he can order it. He thinks he can but is getting back to me.

I also had a Sleepy Dog Tail Chaser IPA (local brewery in Tempe, looks pretty small from the website) draft which I found pretty mediocre.

And I had a very, very good basic Pale Ale from Butte Creek brewery, which is what I am hoping my homebrew will wind up tasting like. It was probably the first organic beer I have had that I have thoroughly enjoyed (Wolaver's isn't my fave).
