Friday Confessions

I'm pretending that I am going on sales calls in Missouri today but in reality I am going to scope out small town grocery and liquor stores in hopes of finding the elusive Boulevard Chocolate Ale.

They've got a bunch at Benz in Cedar Rapids. We had it on tap at Mahoney's in Cedar Rapids. On tap, it tasted like a tootsie roll and it was all sorts of delicious. I bought a bottle to have on a special occasion, opened it up Valentines day with the lady with some strawberries...tasted like crap. Absolutely no chocolate taste out of the bottle. I was extremely diappointed.

Speaking of beer, if anyone gets the opportunity to try Toppling Goliath's Naughty 90, do it. I had that the other night at the Lava Lounge in Cedar Falls and was absolutely blown away. Its an Oak Aged IPA. Probably one of the best beers I've ever had.

Which brings be to my confession, I am traveling up to Minneapolis this weekend and I am taking the senic route through Decorah for the purpose of stopping at Toppling Goliath. Also this weekend, I am going to Summit and Surly in Minnesota. Cant wait.
 
I really miss my freshman year of college at uni i miss my friends from there. I miss being that dumb freshman who just wants to get really drunk and not care about the consequences dont get me wrong i love being at iowa state but i feel old.

I too am going to be in Minnesota (Rochester) tomorrow. My Valentine's Day gift is 4 4-packs of Surly.

I very excite.

Pretty sure this is up at Bait Shop on tap.


Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it would appear that Friday Confessions and Friday Beer Thread is finally merging.

What kind are you getting Vanilla Face? I've only had the Furious because the lady friend doesn't like coffee. I hate coffee but something about coffee beer turns me on. Unfortunately I found out about Surley about a month after Wet came off the shelves. I've got a co worker that is from Michigan and he's bringing be back some Founder's Double trouble which is an instant beer boner.


Ah damnit, this has got to be it! It was night and day difference between what I had on tap and what was in the bottle. The bottle was nearly tasteless/scentless.

Hopefully you don't have that problem while wearing your pants from last week

Mine was a classic case of drunk sleepwalking. I had been at a party that night and gotten pretty loaded, but not so drunk that I didn't know what I was doing.

Well, I went to bed, and when I woke up, there was a log in the bath tub. There was some arguing among the people there who had been responsible, so we all did "wipe checks" to see if anyone was unclean, and sure enough, I was the one responsible. I have a tendency to sleep walk (have since I was little) and a few too many drinks can really bring it out.


This isn't the first time something like that happened to me either. A couple years ago, my gf and I went out to dinner, came home and went to bed. Didn't really drink (maybe a beer or two with dinner) or anything wild. Woke up in the morning, and my oven door was open, and there was a puddle on the floor below it. Not really putting two and two together, I shut the oven, and mopped up the puddle. I smelled the puddle and it didn't smell like ****, so I kind of forgot about the whole thing.

A week later, my girlfriend goes to fire up the oven, and the aroma of burning urine overpowered the apartment. Turns out I must have been sleep walking, and instead of going into the bathroom, I opened up the oven, took a leak, and then went back to bed.

A few months ago my girlfriend and I went out to the bars and got really hammered. We some how made it back to her place that night. Woke up the next morning and my pants were soaking wet, but the bed was completely dry. Thought it was really strange until I noticed a wet spot on her bedroom floor. Apparently I just woke up, stood in the middle of her room, and starting ******* my pants. Then must have decided to go back to bed. Don't remember a thing. I'm two years out of college and I'm still doing this kinda stuff. Some things never change I guess.
 
1. I once tipped 30 Port-a-pottys over in one night (one I hit with my car on purpose).

2. I used to carry a hatchet in my car just in case I was stranded in the middle of wildnerness and needed it to survive (Just like "The Hatchet" book).

3. My neighbor in the cubicle next to me just attempted to cover up his fart with a cough and it was a shabby cover up.

Probably some Abrasive (DIPA) if its around, and after that, who knows. I like helles lagers a lot and Hell is a great one. Cynicale and Bitter Brewer are both awesome as well. I've had Furious a lot and kind of need to branch out a little. I'll probably by own 4 pack of Furious anyway, so if I'm playing with someone else's money, it seems like experimentation is the way to go.

I'll probably grab some Southern Tier beers, too.

Last week one of my football players came in after school to make up a test. He raised his hand to ask a question so I came over to the desk by him. I deliberately sat on the table part of the desk, leaned over toward him and ripped a loud one. He looked at me stunned and I simply asked, "What was your question?" while keeping a straight face. No odor, just good and loud. He asked the question and then just looked at me and said, "Are you serious with that?"

As far as Southern Tier goes, try to find the Iniquity (Imperial Black Ale) or Unearthly (DIPA). I found both last time I was in MN.

Dont know if I've ever had any Southern Tier. Whats their "flagship"?

PS. I'm starting the beer thread since it seems to be gaining popularity in this thread.

My 1st good laugh of the morning.

Did you ask him for a piggy back ride after wards?

I had a one night stand last weekend with someone who ended up being married.

The problem was I just assumed all 21 year olds at the bars on a Saturday night would not be married. Definitely came as a surprise to me in the morning...
