This crab cake talk has me hungry.

I brewed two beers over the weekend. A citrus-ey IPA to be ready in a few weeks and an imperial stout to be ready for my beer club's Christmas party in December.

I've made Sangria a few times . . . but never come up a recipe that I can say I really, really like. Fruit, juices, wine, white rum and ginger ale were the ingredients as I recall.

Party at AFs house! I'll bring the sangria, but the IPA sounds better to me.

You visiting the thread makes it an OFFICIAL drinking thread, so thanks!

I'll try some of that IPA when it's ready. The stout, eh, not so much my cup of tea. More for you and your friends.
 
Had one beer but not really feeling it. Sangria sounds good but dont want to go thru effort. Probably just drink some decent Pinot we have on hand.

What yeasts did you use? Figured out what you are using for dry hop? Been getting bored with Citra and Galaxy is getting hard to come by. Got ahold of some Nelson recently that is amazing and really liking Idaho 7 too lately.

IPA - Columbus/Citra, Omega Tropical yeast, Citra dry hop . . . The Stout I used White Labs, Irish Ale yeast. I have a real good base stout recipe that I've won several awards with :) This particular batch will get a bunch of vanilla beans, toasted coconut and a some coffee beans in the secondary :cattail:

I like Nelson too. Have not experimented with Galaxy or Idaho.
 
Having a fairly hoppy Pale Ale. I think it is my fourth of afternoon. Probably need to switch to hard liquor soon.
 

Well, if I'm drinking Bourbon, it's going to be Knob Creek. Lots of flavour and smooth as silk.

But,

It's a cool night here. I think I'm going to make an old canoe trip drink; Saugeen Tea (named after a river I used to paddle quite a bit).

Stash Double Bergamont Earl Grey Tea, brewed strong.

In a large mug:

A Rounded Tablespoon of honey

1.5-2 oz of dark rum (to taste)

Fill it with tea.

Stir until the honey melts.

Drink.

Repeat, often

That will warm your insides and even dry your socks.

One of my paddling buddies insisted on stirring hers with a cinnamon stick, but she's a girl, and likely has cooties.

That sounds delicious. A lot like the Hot Irish Whisky's I make in the winter, mostly as a medicinal drink :)

Trust me, this drink, born out of necessity (coming down with a scratchy throat on an instructional trip, and I needed my voice all weekend) has become a staple of my back country travel, and cool fall and winter nights.

It works with Lapsang Souchong too, but it is different.
 
Cheers
