    Oh damn tomorrow’s going to be a handful. I’ve got some Heady, SOS, Pliny, Habani, jeez where to start?

    With a side by side, Habani vs Red Oak Hopgarten.

    I dropped the third beer, too much beer in 16 Oz vessels, and Habani is 500 ml? Head to head man to man, but I’d love to have an Old Mecklenburg Capt Jack here, but I didn’t care fo a 250 mile round trip beer run to add a third. Interesting to see how a premium Pils fares blind vs a common local Pils that imo rivals any.

    Homemade salsa, nachos stacked with fresh Serrano peppers.

    I might do some clams casino for an appetizer, just to be different.

    My wife doesn't drink, but I have some Jai Alai, Bells Two Hearted, and a couple of cans of Greenpoint IPA (which hasn't been reviewed here yet); I haven't decided on the order of consumption.

    Enjoy the game!

    After a dry (ok damp) Jan, just had a left over Celebration. Wonderful with 4 mos on it. Refined, crisp with good hop bite but a bit more subtle. Like an English IPA with an edge. Will definitely have one of my few left during the Superbowl tomorrow.

    New Trail’s Cryosphere and maybe I’ll grab a single or 2 of a cheap AAL. On the menu will be brisket and beans (both made today) as well as shrimp dip. It’ll just be my wife and I.

    So many great beers, I’d hate to be too tipsy before the Pliny. It’s been 3 years since my last one, that on tap at Monks. In bottles no clue 4-5 years.

    Treat yourself to pliny first.
    It drinks easily enough.

    Jai low and that might be the only beer of the day. Making wings and lasagne too. I will be sleeping by half time since I’m up at 430 for work. Should be another fun one with the snow.

    Rooting for TB 11, Just want him to win without Bill.

    Enjoy

    A boozy stout to help me forget the packers should be playing in the game

    Picked up the New Trail Expedition variety pack, so I’ll probably work through some of those. Maybe a couple County Lines besides that.

    I'll be having an M-43 or two and probably a Joe in Black, a vastly underrated Black Lager from a Lansing Brewing Company. I'll be making homemade chili with steak fries and cheese.

    I'm working today, so I haven't given much thought yet to what I'll be drinking later. My menu for the folks at the group home will feature dishes representing all four of the conference finalists: Cuban sliders (Bucs), KC BBQ sliders (Chiefs), Buffalo dip (Bills), and dump cake (Packers). (Edit: :rofl:) I'm also preparing an Orange Julius knockoff. (See what I did there?)

    As for the post-workday beer, most likely a big boy. I'm thinking Hopslam or Expedition Stout. For medicinal purposes, of course.

    My first commercial beer (bud Light) in years. I have to step down from my usual standards to keep me at the same level as the mass just for one day.

    Jack's Abby Pride and Parquet. Nugget Nectar was the game plan but they got crushed last night.

    Beer: Kostritzer and Von Trapp Dunkel (may go grab a sixer of their Vienna Lager before game time)

    As far as eats, I'm making some baby back ribs and some cheesy nachos topped with ground beef.

    Update: Wife is making chilaquiles, a personal favorite featuring a slow roasted citrus braised pork with homemade salsa verde. Boozy stout before still in play for dessert, but now looking at light lager to pair with dinner. Thinking Haymarket's Chicago Tavern Beer or Three's Courage My Love or most likely Chapman's Permanent Waves as it is a Mexican Lager
