Recommendations Welcome...

So what kind of beer should I get for tomorrow night? I figure I'll need something to help take the edge off...

That is all...

If you can find Avery beers, then I suggest a pint of The Reverend. Nothing takes the edge off like a pint of Belgian Quadruple.

Jay,
You're likely to need more than just beer. Might I suggest "Everclear" 190 proof "liquor". If you don't drink it, you can always use it as a bio-fuel.

Epijunky said...

Good Lord. I haven't thought of Everclear. I guess that would be one way of putting oneself out of their misery quickly.

Teresa said...

LOL - well Brad beat me to it. Of course if you really want beer - just keep looking for the one with the highest alcohol content.

I'll be sticking with wine since I don't like beer. But I guess that will work... that and turning off the television and watching old movies like The Thin Man (where they really knew how to party). I intend to ignore it all tomorrow. I'll find out who won soon enough and then I can worry about it. Otherwise I won't give the news idiots the satisfaction of ruining my evening. ;-)

To be perfectly honest, I don't have any Everclear. Never could stand the stuff, even in frat-punch.

However, I do have a liter of Appleton's Barrel-aged 151 proof rum, though. And if that doesn't do the trick, I'll defer to the three liters of fine scotch ye olde liquor cabinet.

Boilermakers are a beer... of a sort.

Don't get high-falutin with them. Jack and Bud is plenty fancy for a Boilermaker.

I'm going with Dogfish Head IPA (any variety). Something bitter, it seems, will be in order. Of course, I highly recommend voting *prior* to drinking.

Rustmeister said...

Greg was *almost* there.

Avery Collaboration Not Litigation Ale

Right brewer, different brew. =)

MedicMatthew said...

Well I've got some Harpoon UFO Raspberry Hefeweizen that should keep me happy for the evening.

I'll be drinking my homebrew English IPA. I agree that bitter beers are the way to go for us clingers. Dogfish Head IPAs are a good choice, as is Lagunitas Maximus. Big belgian styles are also a good choice.

I will not be drinking tomorrow night. I must remain sober and clearly focused on the task at hand : Keeping the ammo presses running.

Dogfish Head's "120 Minute IPA"


Why? Because it's the only beer I've found that is 20% alcohol, yes...one bottle equates to approx. a 6-pack of average beer.

And it's pretty darn good to boot!

Next up, go for the Belgium import "Piraat Ale" courtesy of Van Sternberge Brewer and imported via GlobalBeer.com

Dog Fish Head Raison De' Etre (if you can find it, it's a DE brewery so you may not get it in MASS.

Otherwise I have to recommend good old Newcastle Brown Ale.

As far as Everclear....Uh I have to go to work Wednesday morning.

I have some Guinness for if McCain wins and some Arrogant Bastard Ale for if Obama wins. I will have to get into the other hard stuff over the coming years if Obama wins because I will have to drink to the end of the republic and the Constitution.

Zdogk9 said...

Knob Creek, It's beer that's been refined. Lots of it, and then some more.

Weer'd Beard said...

I'd like to be climbing into a nice single-malt, but I'd like to be sober for when the riots happen.

So I'll be having 12 gauge and .45 ACP.

Bruce said...

I'm not anticipating any election night civil unrest reaching the family compound up here, so it's single malt scotch for me.

The Remington 870, SKS, and the .45 will be in stand-by mode.

It had to be said. ;-)

angus lincoln said...

when was the last time you had Haffenrafer?
For me it was high school;made some special memories!

Anonymous said...

Hemlock.

Especially if Michael Barone's doomsday scenario holds true.

And if McCain manages an upset, I'm mainlining egg-nog by the gallon.

Much to my surprise Virginia ABC stores will be open on election day. For your evening follow my lead: a bottle of cask strength single malt to the cabinet. Still think I'll be drinking the Scotch in victory to McCain.

Try Geary's Pale Ale, it's made in Maine and yummy.

P.S. You should be celebrating, not commiserating :P

West, By God said...

Speaking of Maine beers, about a month ago I had a Chamberlain pale ale, which featured Maine Civil War hero Joshua Chamberlain on the label. It was a pretty decent beer made by a small brewery (Shipyard). For those who can't handle a manly beer like The Reverend, a quality craft brew should suffice.

stretch has it right though...
scotch. scotch. scotch.

RW said...

Gotta plan on Obama winning, thus you need to start saving your cash, NOW.

Say hello to Mad-Dog 20/20 and a quick evening. :)

nothing says i love america like PBR in a can.

at least i think so. i'd do that... because it'll be your toast of a swansong to this great nation as we become venezuela north.

i'm going to drink wine in copious amounts.

Jay G said...

I'm thinking Miller Genuine Draft or Rolling Rock.

Or whatever it is that Joe the Plumber is drinking...

Pete's Wicked Ale - if you want something a little lighter

Spaten Optimator - if you want something kinda hoppy

On the way home from voting I stopped by my local Trader Joe's and picked up two 6-packs of Kennebunkport Pumpkin Ale.

Voting in my precinct, of course, is an excercise in futility. I might well be the only person here who is not a liberal wacko! Barney Frank's district, and no, I don't consider that an honor!
