its here. our second repeal day celebration. many things are the same... its relaxed, fun and about nothing but having a good time. fortunately this year, on the 75th anniversary of it all, the party falls on a friday night and its at the corinthian. we sold out before the doors opened and hopefully the hype and excitement is followed throughout the night. hopefully i will have some photos to post. if not i am sure there will be some posted on the
repeal day blog.above is a photo from my kitchen. it includes the new "drinking after five" clock, the repeal day flyer from last year and of course in the background, Mr. Ramalamb.
while we are on the subject of beer tastes.. jimmy and i broke open this bottle from southern tier brewing. i last posted about southern tier with their pumking ale. i just opened another bottle of that pumking that i have been saving in the fridge and noticed that, although it wasnt in the fridge all that long, time did not do the beer any good. is that possible to notice such a drastic difference in a beer in only a two month period?? it did not taste bad by any measure but it just didnt have the body it did when i first bought the beers. to note: i have been battling a sinus cold and that definitely has an affect on taste buds.
ranting... anyway... there really isnt a beer with vanilla bean that i ever thought was great. its just not for me and this beer was no different although i did enjoy it. first reaction was that this would be fantastic as a milkshake. that lead me to the idea of a milkshake store devoted to milkshakes made from stouts and other brews and liquors. imagine a whole list of them to try. -id go there anyway.
well sorry for the lack of posts. i am sure to post again sooner and hopefully with some fun pictures from tomorrow night.
ah shnucks.....
