Friday night drinking thread
What a week! Hopefully some of you are now GME-llionaires. Or AMC-illionaires. (Be careful, don't get caught when they crash.) Maybe one of you is lucky enough to buy lottery tickets in Novi.
Hopefully, even if the week wasn't that good, there was still some good in it - enough to pause and appreciate.
So, let's raise a glass! And what's/will be in your glass(es)?
Time for a martini. Or three.
Go Blue!

Sipping some Woodford Reserve and enjoying it
January 29th, 2021 at 5:31 PM ^
Just cracked open an All Day. One of the best session IPA on Earth. Sparty lost by 30 to Rutgers and Juwan Howard is our coach. Cheers and Go Blue!
January 29th, 2021 at 9:03 PM ^
I believe Izzo is sipping on some Chianti, paired with Fava Beans and HIS OWN LIVER!
January 29th, 2021 at 5:32 PM ^
Malbec
January 29th, 2021 at 5:32 PM ^
Not sure yet. Still working. But it's gonna be strong!
January 29th, 2021 at 5:41 PM ^
Yeah, I decided the last couple emails could use a little "inspiration".
January 29th, 2021 at 5:56 PM ^
Trying some Carolan’s Irish cream - Tusk by Fleetwood Mac in my study, grateful for a good Friday!
January 29th, 2021 at 5:57 PM ^
Some Cincy beers. Cheers gang - happy Friday
January 29th, 2021 at 6:18 PM ^
Madtree? Rhinegeist? Or perhaps something a tad more "exotic"?
January 29th, 2021 at 6:55 PM ^
Both good, but I have a soft spot for the “Truth”
January 29th, 2021 at 9:53 PM ^
Truth is super solid. I also like the madtree psychopathy.
January 29th, 2021 at 6:02 PM ^
pulled blindly from the cellar tonight and have a 2016 BCBS and 2017 FW Bravo on deck
January 29th, 2021 at 6:31 PM ^
Holy guacamole, that is some interesting brew. Do you live in California? I am trying to work their website to determine how to acquire it in Michigan/Detroit Area.
January 29th, 2021 at 10:04 PM ^
I like the Mind Haze IPA, it's not overly hoppy and is smooth, 6.2% ABV. I found this one while staring at the beer selections very confused about what to try and some dude swooped in and quickly grabbed a 6-pack, so I copied him.
Their 805 Ale is also quite good, but very mild, almost too much so.
January 29th, 2021 at 6:15 PM ^
The wife got wine in a box for the first time ever today. It wasn't terrible or great either (Cab-Sauv).
I'll be shoveling snow this weekend, no Football or Michigan BB, so what do I care?
January 29th, 2021 at 6:21 PM ^
I'm enjoying some Saint Arnold H-Town Pils. It's a beautiful mid 60s afternoon here in Texas so I'm gonna fire up the smoker and throw on a 15 lb prime brisket in a couple hours for tomorrow's dinner.
January 29th, 2021 at 6:25 PM ^
I love Saint Arnold's beers. Enjoy ?
January 29th, 2021 at 6:33 PM ^
oh man, you are killing me. Well, I guess I better start planning something rather than wish.
January 29th, 2021 at 6:22 PM ^
Bacardi and apple juice. Just trying to empty the cupboard.
January 29th, 2021 at 6:24 PM ^
Margaritas
January 29th, 2021 at 6:26 PM ^
Pairs nicely with air fryer blackened salmon
January 29th, 2021 at 6:56 PM ^
IIRC, you're off the sauce? Congrats. I go through dry periods to improve the sleep and health too. When I do, I like to put bitters in soda water - and I like it way better than flavored waters at the store. Orange and cherry bitters are my go-tos.
Enjoy! Blackened salmon sounds great.
January 29th, 2021 at 7:02 PM ^
Correct. The different flavored sparkling waters are surprisingly delicious. Now I just have to deal with my other drinking problem.
January 29th, 2021 at 6:32 PM ^
Cone Head IPA in the glass and some homemade calzones. Cheers!
January 29th, 2021 at 6:33 PM ^
Boxed red wine. Keepin it classy.
January 29th, 2021 at 6:40 PM ^
Hopslam while making dinner. Huma Lupalicious with dinner. Missing my weekly sojourn to Crisler or Yost, more with every drinking thread that passes.
Xtramelanin, wherefore art though?
January 29th, 2021 at 6:49 PM ^
Wherefore art thou XM, you ask?
January 29th, 2021 at 6:54 PM ^
You’re just assuming he’s misusing it. Maybe he wants to know XM, why is he.
January 29th, 2021 at 7:16 PM ^
yes - probably misusing after a Hopslam on an empty stomach. Engineering student who spent Shakespeare class in high school scheming about the girl one row over.
January 29th, 2021 at 6:55 PM ^
In all seriousness though, knowing XM, he's likely doing his usual thing, like at the White House making policy recommendations, or on a covert black ops mission for MI6. Something along those lines.
January 29th, 2021 at 6:57 PM ^
Out putting blankets on the herd. It's cold!
January 29th, 2021 at 6:42 PM ^
I will have to live vicariously through everyone else’s drinking tonight. I’m on day 4 of covid and cant taste anything anyways! Hope everyone is doing ok. This is indeed a very crazy virus with some crazy symptoms.
January 29th, 2021 at 6:54 PM ^
Get well soon ?
January 29th, 2021 at 7:32 PM ^
The answer here is to pour yourself a strong bourbon.. you may not taste it, but you'll still feel that warm "Kentucky Hug" as it goes down!
In all seriousness... get well soon! It truly is a weird virus.
January 29th, 2021 at 10:58 PM ^
I agree. A small amount of Bourbon works for me for a sore throat or “cough medicine.” Get well soon.
January 29th, 2021 at 6:43 PM ^
Balvenie 12 year ?
January 29th, 2021 at 6:45 PM ^
2013 Brunello. Pairs wonderfully with Chicago-style deep dish pizza.
January 29th, 2021 at 6:53 PM ^
Nothing tonight, had numerous pours of different bourbons last night.
Enjoy everyone ?
January 29th, 2021 at 7:08 PM ^
Red Stripe...Hooray beer!!
January 29th, 2021 at 10:12 PM ^
I agree so strongly with your statement that I upvoted you all three times.
January 29th, 2021 at 7:26 PM ^
Johnny Utah IPA by Georgetown Brewery (Seattle)
January 29th, 2021 at 7:32 PM ^
Tullamore Dew on the rocks makes working from home so much better!!
January 29th, 2021 at 7:33 PM ^
Strawberry soda, because I'm cool like that.
January 29th, 2021 at 7:34 PM ^
Half Acre Bodem IPA. Cheers!
January 29th, 2021 at 7:39 PM ^
Might be time for a Miller Lite or six.
Currently enjoying Ohio State hockey getting blasted by Minnesota.
Life is prettay good.
