I usually drink good local India Pale Ale , But when things get serious I am with GHG, there's nothing better than a little Jameson's! CHEERS and Merry Christmas to all from Snowy Cape Cod.

I'm guessing you mean Harpoon IPA Redcat. I've mentioned this before but one of the only things I truly look forward to in the winter is Harpoon's "Winter Warmer." I normally do not like flavored beer or coffee (pumpkin beer, hazelnut coffee, etc), but I absolutely love this beer. If it weren't seasonal, I'd get real sick of it. Come early March, I'm all done with it. But for December through February? Yes please. I wish you could all try it, but I'll just have to drink one for each of you.

Great label too.

I love that high-priced egg-nog that comes in glass milk bottles. The problem is- I have no self control and I'm afraid of blowing up like a balloon (I finally lost 15 pouinds).

i"m saving a bottle of pyrat rum for the holidays. in the meantime i"ll have a spotted cow .or a sam adams.

I'm going to send my holiday beverage over to "the cigarette who shall not be named" this year, giving him a total of two. With both hands full he won't be able to type up posts for a wee bit!

Scotch or Bourbon, that is the question,Balvenie doublewood , or Basil Heydon, maybe both

geichal · **Reply #18 on:** December 21, 2010, 04:52:21 pm

I'm trying to get a bottle of River Baron Vodka

It's a very small batch distillery about 5 minutes from my parents' house (which we will be spending time at). Supposed to be excellent!

That single malt Irish whisky looked good as well!

Yea Boggy Harpoon IPA is the stuff. I am with you, Pumpkin and other flavors in beer is for amateurs but I will try the Winter Ale on your advice. Merry Christmas, Tony

Here's some good beer from up your way. And a good place to find good beer.

Thanks GHG, The Cape Cod Beer Co. makes great beer. It is only available in half gallon bottles though which I can at times consider single servings.Can you get Cape Cod Beer down your way? The British Beer Co. is a restaurant Chain that sells some great stuff to. There place in Hyannis is where I found a perfectly good Bullet on display on a shelf in there dining room.

boggy · **Reply #23 on:** December 21, 2010, 09:49:19 pm

ugh - that non-moving bullet still makes me a bit furious. it's like seeing a caged bird.

Yup, that's the place, in Hyannis. I don't remember the Bullet though, but it's been a couple of Years. Or I just don't remember it

I didn't realize it was a chain,I do remember a LARGE selection of different beer though. They Had that Cape Cod red on tap in the Hotel, real good stuff. I'm up there every year or two for conventions. We try to bring the Bikes and shoot out to "P" town and back. I have not seen it down here, but I bet this one place i go to will have it, they got everything.

Man - Is that bike still there? - I swear that I JUST talked to a cat on the phone who said he just bought an Enfield that was used in a restaurant / bar for display ...... unreal!

redcat · **Reply #26 on:** December 21, 2010, 11:24:33 pm

The last time I was there which was probably last June, it was still there. When I posted on here about it and everyone was so pissed I emailed the restaurant a link to the thread but he ignored it/me. One of these days I'm gonna ride my RE up there and show them one with a license plate on it.

It is pretty good. lighter bodied and smooth with a clean finish.

As of late I have found an appreciation for Vodkas that I had missed earlier.
That River Baron Vodka sounds interesting.

Ha ha! I "dodged the bullet" with the recent (RECORD! ... blech ...) snowfall and hung out with some good friends this Christmas - I'll do New Years with my German in-laws ....

Redcat went out again today with almost a foot of snow on the ground still. The only thing he only went 7 miles. ERC
