Anyone for a nightcap?

On the topic of local beers, Kiltlifter is an especially revered brew in the Phoenix area. It is made by Four Peaks Brewing in Tempe, AZ (in the Phoenix metro area).

A few weeks ago, I was at a happy hourish event with some colleagues, and the bar had all domestic beers at a special price. So, most of us order Kiltlifter. Only to find that it isn't considered domestic. :confused:

You can't get more domestic than down the street. :mad:

LB, it's great to see you in these parts.

Now tell the truth: did you and your friends order Kiltlifter for the price or the name and its attendant mental imagery? :p
 
What are people reading? I'm trying to not read Blood Meridian again so soon.

In a weird continuation of reading about trees (even I recognize this is weird... I blame it on seeing a woodgrain dictionary on The Man's bookshelf a few weeks ago), I'm reading a book on the impact of oak trees on the development of man. I learned a new word - balanoculture (peoples who's primary diet consisted of acorns).

Geekily interesting stuff...

LOL! It really is about the beer. It is a very good brew, I think - not that I am a beer expert. But I can tell the difference between a Kiltlifter and a Bud Light, for example.

But I'm OK with the mental imagery. Its not a bad image. :)
 
Ummm, I think I am going to start right now with an amaretto sour. It's too early to call it a true night cap. Will it qualify if I start now and don't stop til I go to sleep?;)

Surely it was nightcap time somewhere in the world, right? ;)

Welcome. We take the term "nightcap" quite loosely around here, by the way. I've even been known to post the type of coffee I was drinking on a morning.
 
Moet Chandon for me tonight. No special occasion, i just prefer champagne. He calls it Blowjob in the Bottle:rolleyes:
 
One of these days I'm going to start my nightcaps at 10AM!
Only way I get to drink with most of the board! LOL



(Need to get minx1 to go back posting on her thread ...)
 
Wait... do they really not sell Sheiner outside of Texas? Really?

I had no idea... those poor lost souls. :(



Yanks, you might appreciate the next book for my reading list (I need to request it from the library) - Travel as a Political Act. :)

Confirmed: I saw Shiner Bock on sale at my local food store. Did not get any as I wanted something lighter but it's now on the list for another time.

we had a party this weekend, and lots of people brought likker.. and didn't drink...so now we have a kitchen cabinet filled with liquor...finally...it only took a million years to get a grown up liquor cabinet!
 
It's time to drink over on my land and I'm having a pre-mixed Black-punch ^_^

Anybody joining in? minx1!!!! where are you???
 
What's a black punch?

The newest canned "chu-hi" cocktail by Suntory! :D

They have a huge love here for "chu-hi", originally mix of sodas/teas/juices and Shochu a Japanese distilled spirit. Now the word is used for any kind of alchool mix that is not a standard Westner cocktail.

Black Punch is Coke and something. I think it was not a smart idea as I'm now feeling totally wired instead of ready for bed :p
Ok, it says it contains Guarana ... mmmm .... next time I should stick with my latest favorite: pink grapefruit juice and vodka :rolleyes:

Thanks. Wasn't Suntory the company that brought Bill Murray's character for Japan to shoot a commercial in the Movie Lost in Translation?
 
I want a margarita. A large one. On the rocks. Lightly salted with a wist of something citric. And feel free to leave the pitcher.

YEY!

And I'm going to have a glass of something too!
Let me see what I've got ... *wanders off to her secret stash of liquids* ...
Ok, I'll have a little glass of Grappa Nonnino :D

So here is the toast in Italian: cin cin! :rose:
 
I'm having an afternoon drink of kiwi smoothie. Nothing alcoholic for me because of the painkillers I'm on at the moment, but I thought I'd join your nightcap anyways.

I'm bored out of my mind - not being able to move without pain, I'm not exactly enjoying my sick leave.
