The great thing about bourbon is there are so many good to excellent brands in the $20-$40 range or so. I bought a $50 bottle of Michter's for this exchange and that is the most expensive bottle of liquor I've ever bought.

Yep, I'm thinking about getting Maker's today, but Bulleitt is good, Eagle Rare is pretty good, Four Roses, Buffalo Trace, etc. I'd really like to try some Pappy Van Winkel, but the price and it being hard to find have made it not happen.

That pass by Maguire into double coverage was really poor. Obviously.

Turnover after turnover. I feel like I've seen this before...

This is random, but not sure if you ever weighed in. What do you think of Scott Frost as a head coach?

Pappy is good stuff... but it's not worth the asking price at all.

I prefer rye though. Whistle Pig is goooood. If you're cheap, grab some George Dickel.

I'm not very experienced with rye, but I've liked what I've had. There's a place here that makes a great rye old-fashioned, though their bourbon old-fashioned is also very good.

I'm sure he'll be great. He's a very quick thinker, and a lot of Oregon players talk about him the same way they talk about Helfrich in terms of his leadership ability. Kinda sucks for us losing a great OC, but Duck fans have been expecting it for a long time.

Bulleit is my recent go-to. been finding it for about $22 a bottle, so hard to beat. Also like Makers, Woodford, and Knob Creek.

Yeah a few of my friends have found Pappy, but not sure if it's worth the effort in finding it, then of course the cost.

Haven't had much exposure to rye. That's an area I've been apprehensive about.

Yeah Bulleitt is a super solid bourbon for the price. That $20-25 a bottle has some really great stuff in there. Obviously if you go up another $5-10 it gets a little better but most of the time I don't think the difference is worth it.

I've been apprehensive to buy any rye as well. I'm accustomed to bourbon and branching out has me intimidated.

 

[bucknuticus]

I really like Watershed's Bourbon/GIN, but im also a big proponent of buying local and OYOs vodka is pretty great shit too.

Watershed's bourbon is pretty good but it's a bit overpriced for the quality, IMO.

 

[cashman]

The playoffs are today? Weird.

Remember when the New Year's bowl games were actually on New Year's day?

My sister got me a bottle of OYO Honey Vanilla Bean vodka. Holy hell. I love it.

 

[Limedust]

You haven't had this deliciousness, which I enjoyed on a bullet train in Japan.

OT, but I always enjoy how you can get canned alcoholic beverages out of street vending machines in Asian countries.

Bought the wife some lightweight Tequila Rose for NYE celebratory shots (she's allergic to hops, so beer is a no-go) so we don't have a repeat of last year. XD

The Stone Fruit version is great as well

 

[NervousXtian]

If you like bourbon, you'll like rye. Bulliet makes a decent rye, so does Dickel.

Whistle Pig is the best I've had though.. but it's $70+ a bottle.

 

[User 463088]

I'll have to get some. The Kroger on the other side of town carries it. The one near me doesn't.

Also, I revoke my endorsement for that Black Jack Cola. The first one is fine. By the time you get to the second, it's too damn sweet. This may be because I've cut all sugary drinks from my diet, so I'm not used to it.

Ugh. Houston don't choke. Please.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Damn that was a nice throw by Ward.

 

[Limedust]

Oh, cool, UH and FSU get the full Tom Ritter experience.

 

[andycapps]

Really impressed with Houston today, as I have been with them all season. Herman has a bright future.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Daaaamn, gooooo Coogs!

 

[NervousXtian]

DAGGER?

Dagger.

BTW, commentator likes saying Major Applewhite... I don't blame him... it's a badass name.

 

[andycapps]

Damn son. RIP in peace.

Should probably cover the receiver, it turns out.

 

[jmdajr]

Nice. I think Coogs got this.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Easy TD.. Go Houston!!

 

[Piano]

Game over. Damn it.

 

[HeySeuss]

Is Yaboosh alive? Put the bleach down

too bad his NFL career turn out well..Texas job soon?

 

[User 463088]

Colts are firing their coach, huh.

Maybe he could come to Cleveland...

 

[andycapps]

He's down to 11999 gallons of beer where he works. Still wondering where that paradise is.

People in the NFL thread tried to give us Chip Kelly Adam. I stopped that tomfoolery because I knew you'd be dead if that happened.

A brewery. In the middle of brewing a honey ipa and trying to watch as much of the game as possible.

It hasn't been great.

Oh nice. I've always thought that would be fun. Friend of mine works for a distributor so he's always getting limited stuff at great prices. Seems like a fun job as well.

Edit. And this isn't over! FSU making it interesting.

I'm not an IPA fan, but a honey brew might be tasty. I'm a porter and stout guy myself.

Goddammit, FSU.

If you can find it I highly recommend Ballast Points Victory At Sea: http://www.ballastpoint.com/beers/limited/ I've only been able to find the big bottles lately but supposedly it can be found in 6 packs.

Its really, really good.

Ditto. Though Bell's Two-Hearted Ale is a good IPA. It's pretty balanced, IMO.

Really active in this thread, this is what happens when I'm stuck at work with nothing to do but watch football and post on GAF.

Edit: NFL news.. ESPN ticker stating Colts have fired their coach.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

Oh hell to the no.

Well you should post there and remind them who they think they are fucking with with lol.

That looks good. I've had a few really good pumpkin beers this season, now that it's such a trendy thing.

Daaaaamn, Postma.

 

[User 463088]

That was the type of play Ohio State used to run.

Used to.

[bucknuticus]

I bought 2 ass big bottles of Trippels from a local brewery today, popping them tonight

I've been saying this the entire game Adam.

 

[Yaboosh]

Gg Houston.

If you can't stop a run when you know 100% they are going to run then you don't deserve to win.

Defense played okish given how shitty the offense was, especially in the second half.

Derwin James is a madman.

 

[squicken]

FSU may have let them score but amazing work by UH with the backup QB. This guy can coach

Back up QB coming through in a clutch on an offense coached by Tom Herman.

Who here is brewing Trippels?

Coogs

Remember how Adam, Bert and I were on the bandwagon and you all doubted well

You've all seen the light now!

.....

Fuck.

 

[bucknuticus]

Who here is brewing Trippels?

Rockmill Brewery right off 33 when heading towards lancaster. Place is super cool to visit, they get their water right off the hocking river that runs through on site. They had their water tested and its close to those form Belgium so they brew almost only belgium beers. A few stores around here sell their stuff but its for sure worth going to visit the brewery itself.
