Tonight, I knocked out an entire growler of Buckeye Lake Brewing's stout as well as a couple Bud Lights (bought for me) at Papa Boo's in Buckeye Lake.

How many ounces of beer are typically in a growler?

Went to Tremont Tap House on Saturday night. For those that are friends with me on Untappd know I had a good time lol. Had a ton of beers, including finally able to try the 10th anny Ruination, Fat Head IPA, thirsty dog lager, etc... That place is fucking awesome for anyone in Cleveland area.

So 5-12 ounce beers? Nice.

I ran my lacrosse camp today for two hours in the sun and heat, came home and drank two Caymen Jack's Margarittas. Pretty good stuff when you are hot and thirsty. Prolly wouldn't sit down and drink them any other time, but they tasted good today.

Transitioned into some Smuttynose IPA after that.

Dang you and your LEM's. I can't find them anymore in the Cincy area and I'm Jonesing for one.

I'm actually drinking a Shiner Ruby Red, ok it's my third one. I blame it on the Blueberry Ciders I had earlier. I must be getting ready to start my period soon...My only saving grace is the Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout that is in the fridge. Must drink at least one tonight to revive my manhood.

I work in Valley View. I'll have to see how far it is. Sounds like a worthwhile night.

Having an Old Rasputin right now. Really fucking good Imperial Stout, esp for the price, $9 here for a 4 pack (granted last time I was in Cali it was like $6.50 for a 4 pack).

Just took this out of the fridge, letting it warm up a bit before I open. It's been sitting on my shelf for a while and didn't have anything too interesting to drink.

Had this the other day. Very crisp refreshing summer beer.

and this beer from a local distillery/brewery
Ranger Creek Lucky Ol’ Sun
March, 2012
Lucky Ol’ Sun is a refreshing spring beer great for the patio. The pale golden Belgian-style ale is brewed with Pilsner malt, Belgian candi sugar, Kent Goldings hops, and local Texas honey. Light bodied and dry, this delicious golden brew delivers flavors and aromas of apple, pear, and honey with hints of banana and peach and a soft cereal graininess. At 5.5% ABV it is very drinkable.

My roommate last night night put down a 6er of Molson, drank a banana bread beer, then I wake up this morning and find a finished 6er of Modelo in the trash along with a cheap bottle of rum. I lol'd.

Bet he had a good night. He's probably about 5'6" ~130 lbs.

I went Rye IPA, nice brew 7.0% APV and hoppy. I am now certain with Monster being distributed more that I'll only be getting pub exclusives when I visit. For those who like cinnamon, Christmas Ale is out for July.

I almost went there on Saturday, we ended up going to Tremont Tap House instead since they had more beers on tap. Its pretty close, next time you're in the area I'd suggest going there instead.

Maybe a good night, but I'm guessing an awful morning.

I can't imagine a little guy drinking that much without the morning busting his ass pretty good.

Yeah me either lol. Granted I have no idea how much of the bottle he drank last night, but regardless he put down 13 beers. Cant imagine there was much to finish in that bottle since he killed that too.

That's just so much for 130 lbs. I feel like that much alcohol requires picking a fight with a Big Boy statue (which he would obviously lose).

Yes, that bad. I drank it in May when I was in Colorado, cause I finally found it. Mostly for the novelty that I found it finally check it off my list...mostly smoke and very little Maple. I would not buy it again and I'm into smoked beers.

Just for Sonofanump this post is sponsored by Palate Wrecker. Think I need another one now.
