"How Beer Saved the World" Here's a link to a great video, courtesy of Discovery, iirc. It's a hoot, all about the history and influence of beer on society, etc. It's about 45 minutes long, but I warn you if you get started you'll want to watch the whole thing. Enjoy!

My day of drinking here in New York is depicted on my twitter. Thank you. JB will be joining me soon as I resume my libations. And my man is back in LA enjoying l'heure verte in spirit with me. We've been texting and sending pics nonstop.
I started off at Union Pool at noon with Jameson on the rocks where I met up with some friends. Then I walked a mile more through Williamsburg to Maison Premiere for an extensive menu of 18 absinthes. I started with Obsello then had the Duplais Verte. It as a beautiful day outside. Just starting to chill with grey skies for the oncoming Fall. Maison Premiere makes their absinthe correctly... 1:3 absinthe: cold water. Sugar cube upon request (I hate sugar, so no) and no improper theatrics like lighting shit on fire. They also make wonderful signature cocktails as well and their fruit mixers are from wall, actual fruit prepared at the bar by their mixologists as 1920's music plays on the sound system in the front room and out back in the garden. that was the closest thing to making me hard all evening. beer: it's wednesday..

I was experimenting with making a "hard" coffee for me girl. I was doing other stuff while brewing the coffee...just Folgers through a Mr. Coffee. Well, one thing turned into another, and some grounds may have gotten into the coffee. I didn't sweat it much. Figured I could just strain it when it was done. Threw in the yeast, it started foaming, everything was great.  The next morning I end up with this mess.  I thought at first it was just overfoaming. Again, no big deal. After 3 days, no bubbling coming through the airlock. Today, day 5, still no bubbling. I pull the cork, stick my finger in the bottle and find the neck crammed full with dry coffee grounds. Down the sink it goes. Back to the drawing board. I'm just not sure why the grounds got forced up into the neck. Fuckin science.

Hey, good try. I'm sure it's been done before, but I can't imagine the flavor being much worth savoring.
I like both coffee and beer, but together? Maybe not.

Barry, it sounds like you're aiming towards something like THIS It's fucking awesome stuff. I don't know if you can literally ferment Folgers into it, but it's worth the perseverance. This topic is relevant to my interests, but maybe we should spin it off into a "Who's Brewing Tonight" thread?

I'm not shooting for beer, because she doesn't much care for it. But she likes the coffee energy drinks and the hard teas. I think I'm shooting more for a coffee wine, for lack of a better term. It's nothing but coffee and brown sugar. The yeast I'm using is a dry champagne yeast that will eat all the sugar. At some point, around 11%ish, the alcohol will start killing the yeast. The champagne yeast is a bit more hearty and doesn't get killed so easily. I was looking at a potential of about 17% alcohol. Once it was done, I would've frozen it to finish off the yeast, then backfilled with brown sugar, cinnamon and pumpkin coffee syrup to her taste.

Okay, Gotcha. Beyond my experience, but, as a start, maybe instead of ground, use some whole beans, sorta crushed (rolling pin, back of a skillet...) and instead of brewing, bring the lot to a boil and turn it to a simmer, leaving it there. It'll impart a better taste and help prevent grinds from getting into the mix. Not claiming expertise. Just a thought. I'm not shooting for beer, because she doesn't much care for it.

various fruit and veg juice mixes. that's a badass juicer mallo... you on the kale shakes, son?. hard to find kale here, maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. did manage to destroy 4 bundles of spinach in this evening's session. the thing is a beast! tonight I'm back to an old fave: scotch and ginger ale. normally go for J+B but the local had a special on grants, 88 dhs for a 1.5 lt bottle. that's $24. and I am on a budget..

We actually taste tested it last night. Real alcohol smell, bitter yet tasted watered down. I made a point of pulling each pot as soon as it was done, so there wouldn't be that sitting on a burner bitterness. I like your idea of breaking down whole beans. I drink a roasted barley tea that I cold steep overnight in the fridge. I think I may try that with crushed beans. I think it'll give the roasted flavor without the bitterness. I was going to do a gallon of juice at the same time, so if the coffee thing went bad, we'd at least have something tasty that I created. I'll definitely do that this time. I'm thinking apple juice.

I'm not drinking "tonight." I drank earlier, passed out, and just made a refill of margaritas on the rocks with Patron Silver and Cuervo Light (sugar-free) mixer. Quite tasty. Anyways, I'm only mentioning this because I found it funny that when I was buying booze, the Patron boxes on the shelf were all empty and just there for display. According to the guy at the liquor store, it's one of their most stolen items, so they keep the actual bottles on a shelf behind the registers. Fucking ghetto.

Good luck w/ them titties. You should post front and rear view before pics, then post some afters once the swelling goes down. Just sticky and lock the thread. Or you could just PM me a shot of your butt.

At the moment it's angry orchard, but a little while ago it was the Woodchuck Private Reserve. Good stuff at 6.9%. Crispin I've been hit or miss with, but I think that's more a problem with distribution that the brand.

I tried the Crispin "The Saint" and didn't like it at all. It was thin and fizzy, like soda water. I'm deep into the Angry Orchard Crisp. Smooth, a bit creamy, nice tartness without pucker....I'm trying Woodpecker next. Crisp Apple, not the regular.

I saw the Angry Orchard stuff at the beer store this morning. I liked the labels...thought they'd make good tomato waterpipes, but I didn't get any. They let you build your own samplers, so I'll run get some tomorrow.

I've had better, but they're not so bad as to be the Budweiser of cider, although they're nearly ubiquitous.

Which one's the Bud? Woodchuck or Wynder's. What's not even worth trying?

If you want the "Budweiser of cider," it's Manger's. Sadly, it's often the only one they'll have on tap. Have not tried Wynder's yet.
Woodchuck is good in most of its varieties, but each season they release a special reserve cider that's ~1.9% higher in alcohol content and even easier going down.
