Knocking down some 6% beers with some friends around the camp fire tonight. Trying to decide on our next road trip destination. Looks like Scottsdale, AZ is going to work out for us.

Having a little Scotch neat with a porter style beer back sitting outside with a cigar. Had my 40th birthday yesterday and just relaxing and reflecting after a loooong work week.

Almost no beer these days. Only when I pass by the pub which is only about 2-3 times per month. At home I'll have whiskey & soda after work and red wine with dinner. 

[Mr. Desmond]

Honey Pale Ale (light on hops), salad, and thin crust neapolitan style pizza.

SInce most restaurants do not serve wine in the correct manner, I go for a beer. Nothing like wasting $8-13 on a warm glass of wine when you can buy a good bottle for $20 and serve it correctly. Beer is good value - tastes good, priced less.

I rarely get wine by the glass in a restaurant. We're usually two, and that's easily a bottle. I'm not at all shy about asking them for an ice bucket if they've been keeping the red wine on a shelf in the kitchen. Bleech...

Luckily, Quebec has a pretty strong wine culture, so most places keep their wine at the appropriate temperatures including the open, by the glass bottles. 

I agree though, there is nothing worse than overly warm red wine.

Yes, when ordering a bottle, before they pour, I ask about cellar conditions or if the bottle is chilly. If not, I ask to pour a very small amount to see if it's good, then go for the ice bucket. Waiters look at me as if I am crazy when I ask for the ice bucket with red wine. They're usually not knowledgeable. In fact, it's tough to find a waiter who is knowledgeable. Anyway, I go on my spiel that a red around 55-60F will bring out the fruit and complexity, along with time, and that warm reds tend to taste like nothing or plums. Then I pull out the Vinturi, and sometimes, I bring my own glasses. lol. They're probably talking about it for the next week.

A glass of Evan Williams. My time after work today was sucked into a black hole. Decided to have a glass before dragging myself to bed. Have to be up at 345 am to go to work. :,(
