What are you drinking?

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Anyone near Lexington, there's a place here (which is rare for a small town like this) called Malone's. It has like 40 beers on tap, and almost all of them are microbrews. They change it up every week too with different specials.

RFD in the District has a ton of taps. Bushwaller's in Frederick has 18 taps, mostly imports.

RFD's sister bar, the Brickskeller, has an extensive beer list, to the point where you have to order 2 or 3 different ones because they may not have what you want that night.

Wow, Baltika on tap?! The last time I had that stuff, I got TOASTED on it. The alcohol content is INSANE.

Nothing better than beer off the tap. But a bottle or can chilled in a cooler over ice is a very close 2nd.

I love there chickadee stout or whatever its called.

That list is their bottled stuff. Brickskeller doesn't have but a few taps. RFD has like 40, and it's always rotating.

Chicory Stout is really good. Their Punkin Ale and Snowblower Ale is really good too. AMD, they have a 120 minute IPA as well, and it's a knockout.

They also have their own flavor-infused vodkas, rums and tequila.

Ahhh. Next time I'm up that way I'll check them out. We went to so many bars last time I was up there on a business trip I forget which ones were which.

Even better though, is pulling your sixer out of a cold mountain stream.

Head for the mountains!

Damn, that's pretty nice. I've been known to leave beers out on the deck when it's snowing.

But when I was talking about the whole cooler thing I was visualizing an ice cold beer on a hot summer day at the beach.

LOL, the beer on a beach thing reminded me of a story that really belongs in the College Stories thread, but I'll tell it here anyway.

Just before graduation we all head down to the Outer Banks for a week. We called it beach week, but a lot of colleges call it your traditional senior week. So we rented a house right on the beach and the whole nine, and we've got kegs on the deck and everything. So at like 4 am finally people are starting to pass out, and my buddy and I are like we should be drinking on the beach right now. So we pick up one of the kegs and carry it down to the beach (it was almost empty so not too heavy). No cups, we're just passing the tap back and forth. So we end up passing out for a couple hours and I wake up at like 7:00 am, and I've got no idea what's going on so I stumble back up to the house and flop down in bed. But I left my buddy down there by accident. He woke up at noon and came back to the house. He was BEET red with sunburn, and a few hours later developed blisters. Basically he drank himself into some serious sun poisoning.

He got all mad at me for not waking him up, but I'd like to know who would count on someone who was up drinking straight from a keg until 5 in the morning?

I don't drink beer. I drink wine.

[SmootSmack]

Nesquik Chocolate No Sugar Added. What!

[ArtMonkDrillz]

Good story Schneed. You should never be responsible for others when you're just as drunk as they are.
We left at least 2 people in Atlantic City Sunday morning and you don't see me crying over it.

[BDBohnzie]

If you can't drink and pass out in the proper place, then you don't deserve to be left behind.

Just got back from dog fish head, and man, theit 60 min IPA could possibly be the best beer I've ever tasted. I drank about 3 of those bad boys, and then headed down to zodiac (where last mango used to be in the kentlands) where my brother bar tends.

I polished off a few G&T's and will sleep like a baby tonight.

on a side note. The Hummus at DFH was delicious. I may have found my new favorite restaurant.

good nite... and thanks for the heads up Bohnzie
