I’m making a cottage pie and drinking lots of crown royal northern harvest whisk y.

I like the Norrhern Harvest, but f or the “best whiskey in the world” it's a bit overrated. There's definitely better whiskey out there, even at the price point. It was actually pretty annoying when that shit came out because there suddenly was so much demand for it outside Manitoba that we couldn't keep it on our own shelves because so much was leaving the province.

I’m home alone tonight so I want my dinner to have been made by someone else. I’m trying to figure out how I’m going to make that happen .

Also I was able to get through all the laundry since we now have a working washing machine, and I think that calls for a beer or two.

Some bratwurst and this guy. Will report back for my fellow NEOhio Oppos. It’s a better deal than normal Turbo S handy at $5/16 oz. The tequilla barrel aged is overrated.

Pizza and M ountain D ew. Because apparently I’m 16 again.  Thinking I’ll pass on the adult beverages for the time being because I am the most hungover.

I don’t think it’s the “best” but for $35 bucks it’s the best I can find in the price range in Ontario. I’d heard about the demand but I only found out about it a while after its release, and it’s plentiful at my local store.

Delivery? You can get pretty much anything delivered due to Uber/Skip/Justeat and whatever other options exist in your area.

Never seen that before. Bratwurst is always great.

I heard you like head. Wow that foamed a lot. The head is a nice lilight purple color, grape soda aroma. The beer itself is a brown/purple mix.

The first thing I taste is straight grape soda, followed by some bitterness. The finish is foamy, with no aftertaste. Mouth feel is like soda. There isn’t any debris from the can, like the barrel aged Turbo Shandies- this is probably more filtered.

On flavor, I would give this a 7 out of 10- it’s a little soda-y. Mouth feel is an 8.5. It’s very bubbly, which makes sense. It doesn’t really taste like a beer, much less a 7% beer. I could crush three or four without realizing what I was doing.

As a beer, I woul d give this 4/10. It’s too sweet and bubble. As a summer drink, however, it earns a solid 8.5/10. It’s delicious. If you see it on the shelf (Acme exclusive), snap it up.

Oh baby I love that combo (although I sub Coke for MD).

Last week I had a cheese pizza - I haven’t gotten a pizza without toppings in a very long time, but I ate the hell out of it (3/4 of a large pizza in one evening).

Tacos with spiced chicken lunch meat and I am drinking bourbon and Pepsi and the wife is drinking mojitos. It was very good and no cooking was required which is nice with all the heat.

I like all of these things. This is the kind of shit I’d want to eat and drink outside if it wasn’t 30+ degrees.

A few bottles of Stella Artois Cidre and a bag of spicy pork skins. My big meal is mid day, so I don't eat much at night.

I typically do that during the weekday. Not pork skins, but big mid day meal and smaller evening meal.

I think the demand has gone down quite a bit. But yeah, it was annoying as hell when I could walk into any liquor  store in SK and see cases of it but there was sweet fuck all on the shelves in MB.

See also:

Fireball, but instead of normal basic college girl fireball, you steep multiple fresh cinnamon cloves in it for a few days, then mix 1:1 with your hard cider of choice.

I usually eat better than this, but it was a tough day at work and I'm feeling a little depressed and just DGAF right now...

I’m at work, so I’m having a can of Coca Cola and a cigar.

Have you tried doing a Cumberland Pie, it’s similar but you use cubed beef instead of minced. And on top of the mashed potato topping add some breadcrumbs and some shredded cheese. You only need about a tablespoon of breadcrumbs and half a cup of shredded cheese.

Drinking a whiskey & diet ginger ale with a splash of lime. Tonight is roast beef and summer squash casserole.

My only concern is that the cubed beef would be tough or chewy, but I guess that’s up to the cook who makes it.

Otherwise, this sounds fucking delicious.

There are beers that are appropriate for the seasons and this sounds like a great summer beer.

Also, a cigar at work sounds nice. I guess you work outdoors? I can’t imagine the shit you’d get for smoking indoors around here.

Shandies are generally all-around great summer beers, Hoppin' Frog's Turbo Shandy especially. If you're in Ohio, I recommend it. A 22 oz bottle of the normal stuff (skip the tequilla barrel aged stuff- too bitter) is about $8 and worth it.

Last time I was in Ohio was around 15 years ago on a school trip. We had free time at the Rock n Roll Hall o Fame and Cedar Point which was tremendous fun as a kid.

Hell, I’d probably enjoy that trip now.

I had to go to the store anyway, so I stopped by Boston Market on the way home. I’m having m eatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, green beans, some whiskey, and a beer.

About to put the steaks on the grill. Petite sirloin. Roasting some red potatoes to go with it.

I’ll finish the Killian’s Irish Red I started with it.

Had a t -bone that I grilled, baked potato, and salad. I’m one of those who doesn’t really like  drinking alcohol with food, so having a Michelob Ultra now while sitting outside. Not my favorite but it was free.

We had a memorial for my mother in law who passed away last week so it was your standardly catered affair; pasta, chicken, potatos, Italian beef and I'm about 4 pints deep in summer shandy because it's fucking hot here in illinois

You’re in the Dayton area? I’ve seen Hoppin’ Frog at Arrow on Far Hills. Only found the barrel aged Turbo Shandy there though, out of season and $16/22 oz bottle though. Pretty good but not for that price. There’s plenty of good local stuff there, especially Yellow Springs and Dayton Beer C ompany, not to mention the stuff in Oregon.

Done really slowly so the beef is tender is great.

I'm a Cummerlan and it's one of the things we do great here in Cumbria (formerly Cumberland) the other is Cumberland Sausage.

It’s illegal to smoke in business premises here, your not even allowed to smoke in a work vehicle.

I work in a super market and come outside if I fancy a smoke every now and then.

We have covered smoking shelters at work (illegal to smoke inside) and we've not had any raining in weeks.

I’m ok with it, because the heat has been intense here for the last week. I think it was 102 degrees here on Thursday. So I guess I'll smoke it tomorrow. I've got an Asylum 6x60 chilling in my humidor just waiting.

We’re expecting a storm here in the U.K. sometime this week, should be interesting.

I was just smoking Henri Wintermans Half Coronal, just a short smoke cigar for a half an hour break.

Our temps will be headed back up into the 90s soon. I'm not a fan of that. Spring and fall are my favorite seasons.

I’m not a fan of winter but at least the weather is somewhat predictable, spring and autumn are okay, most wet with a few nice days.

I enjoy the summer but when it’s above 25C all the time, for a Brit, it’s just not natural.

Yeah, I’m a couple miles from the Arrow location in Centerville.

$16 for a 22oz is far more than my cheapness will let me spend.

I’ve had several beers from warped wing and Yellow Springs brewery that I’ve enjoyed. I also go to Eudora brewing in Kettering for trivia night with some of my wife’s coworkers. I haven’t gotten anything from the Dayton beer company yet, but we’re planning to go there with a couple friends later this month so that’ll change soon enough.

There’s a new brewery getting ready to open in Yellow Springs as well, but I forget the name.

Our winters are all over the place. We don’t actually get that much snow compared to other areas . W e tend to have 300+ days of sunshine per year. It’s not uncommon for us to have strings of 60+ degree days in December and January but get pounded by snow in March and April.

Ouch, forget that stuff. I’m a Cummerlan, and here in Cumbria, we do rain. L ight rain, medium rain, heavy rain, showers, intermittent bursts of rain, drizzle, sporadic bursts of rain (you get the idea), so too many days of no rain, compounded by constant hot temperatures, we start thinking the world is going to end.

When American tourists came across, I’d ask if they brought a coat with them, they’d ask why and does it rain much and I’d try not to sound too sarcastically when I replied, ‘well it is called the Lake Distr ict for a reason’.

I like rain, to a point.  If we get more than a day of rain everyone starts comparing it to Seattle.  We could use some now, though, because part of the state’s on fire again.
