DRINKING THREAD. Now Drinking: Half Acre's Coven (Maib

>>23739016
im drinking coffee cause im mad behind on work lol

>>23739070
Get to work, fool!

For real, though. A friend gave me three pounds of coffee for free (three different kinds, can give the names/descriptors of them if needed) and I'm practically a newbie at coffee.

So, when I grind the beans, how much do I put it compared to how much water? Also, is using something like a nutri-bullet ok to grind the beans?

>>23739077
lmfao i have no idea i just use foldgers and put that shit in my mr.coffee pot. im not a coffee expert haha im so sorry
i literally just eyeball it though. like i do maybe 3 or 4 spoonfuls of coffee to 4 cups of water. idk lol. it usually turns out fine. but if it doesnt i dont care enough
this is coming from pbr girl so clearly i dont have good taste when it comes to the pallet of the tongue lol

>>23739112
Well, that saddens me. :(

You're suppose to be the coffee guru, thee coffee sherpa destined to guide me up the mountain of coffee grounds.

>>23739184
unfortunately im not. maybe someday i will be when i have the money to spend on the awesome experiences lol. i wish i can exchange this info with you, as youve enlightened me on the world of beer
also. do you ever get drunk or do you just drink for pleasure of it?

>>23739189
In that case, I will report back with everything that I learn from others about the inner workings of coffee.

>do you ever get drunk or do you just drink for pleasure of it?

I drink for the 'pleasure' of it. I absolutely hate being drunk as that feeling of not being in control of your body, blacking out, not remember shit sucks. I don't drink to get drunk, however I have gotten drunk while drinking, if that makes sense.

Though, there have been a handful of times where I sought out to drink a lot because of some personal issues.

>>23739207
yep that makes sense, i was just wondering. and yeah, thats pretty normal, ive done the same thing in the past. ive only legit blacked out once but again, i was going through personal issues also + it was halloween and i was away from school so i kind of went too hard. i was luckily with my friends though bc it is scary once you get out of it and have no idea what happened for the past few hours. but never happened to me before or after so theres that haha

>>23739230
Yeah, you were smarter than me when you went too hard with the alcohol.

Last year, I went to a beer release/festival and I met up a couple of friends there. You were able to bring your own bottles of beer/whatever, so I brought a bottle of beer that's ~19% and a bottle of 12 yr. Van Winkle bourbon. When I started to hang out with the friends, we basically started to chug the beer first and then took turns taking big pulls out of the bourbon. The event went from 10:30am to 10pm and I honestly can't remember a single thing after 3/4pm. Apparently, I ran into another friend there and walked around the grounds for a solid hour, even met his boss and a decent conversation with him. Tons of other stories I heard about myself after the event. lol

But, the times I got seriously messed up on purpose were at home and due to being severely depressed. Shit can suck sometimes.

>>23739297
haha yeah, my friend tells me stories about skipping in front of the cops and we ordered food from this chicken place that i have zero recollection of. and we went to a 2nd frat house that i also have zero recollection of haha. that bottle of kraken i took a pic of one time if you remember, i drank half that bottle, did a few shots + drank prob 3 beers or so and smoked some weed so i was pretty dumb

yep. other times ive drank a lot by myself and on weeknights bc of severe depression. i feel you. i usually hate drinking when im sad or mad but, depression changes that a little lol. its really a wonder im not an alcoholic

>>23739306
ha, that sounds like you at least had some fun while being out of it. Ah, yeah. I remember that kraken bottle. Holy shit, half of that and more?! That's insane!

Same thing. But, I gotta admit that drinking does help dull the pain, even just a little bit.

Drank a bunch of Einstök White Ale last night

All the faggots who are constantly telling you that your hangovers are going to get worse when you get older - it turns out they are right

Kill me

>>23741965

Bumpin'. Hopefully this thread is still alive by the time I get later tonight after a show.

Back at it again. I'm really happy that this stuff is readily available in my area now. Probably my favorite coffee stout that isn't barrel aged.

>>23741946
No, haha. We do have yeast exchanges with them though! We give them beer and they reciprocate! (It also helps that they make good beer!) They actually did give us the yeast used to make our saison this year (which saw a rerelease in bombers).

>>23741965
Neat label! :^)

Heres a bad pic of me drinking vodka and seltzer and makeshift icecubes

>>23742997
It's only bad because it's sideways ya casual. :^)
Did you just freeze some berries for ice cubes?

>>23742997
What kind of vodka?

>>23743532
lmao raspberry smirnoff vodka.

>>23742903
>readily available in my area now

I'm so sad to tell you that Breakfast Stout is only released during September through December. I so wish they released it all throughout the year. :(

How'd the Saison turn out? Was it to style and such?

>>23742917
What kind of Whiskey?

>>23742997
Ice cubes that aren't floating? What's going on here?

>>23743565
lmfao they are frozen berries <3

Now Drinking: Sun King's Hot Rod Lincoln (Russian Imperial Stout aged in Bourbon barrels)

Decent, but still pretty hot. Should've aged this for awhile, but oh well.

>>23744934
Thank you. Kinda surprised I'm still awake but I know I'm having trouble typing.
