Christmas meats and beverages

[Coug90]

It’s been a shitty week for Cougs. On a lighter note whatcha all smoking up for Xmas, Festivus, whatever y’all celebrate? And more importantly what’s the beverage of choice?

Big fan of a prime rib during the holiday season.

Drinking: lots of manhattans and red wine. A shift from my usual tequila consumption.

I was down in Cabo and brought back a bottle of “Supremo” tequila. Holy shit is that smooth.

We will probably make a charcuterie tray to have during the day, a nice bold red wine with it, grill up a thick NY Strip and I've just discovered Ardbeg Wee Beastie. What a great dram that is, imho. The price is right too.

I discovered a tasty grapefruit Hefeweizen last weekend, and will be drinking that until it’s gone. Smoking whatever cuts I can find, but there’s always time for a nice prime rib.

Cranberry margaritas are my holiday drink.

I would tend to agree, but it’s delicious, so I’m drinking it.

For a winter brew, I usually go for something darker. Maybe an amber, but probably even darker. The Deschutes Jubelale is decent. Lahr Neppur in Waitsburg has a “winter warmer” - a spiced porter, if I recall - that was really good, but I haven’t been there in a few years.

I made a Belgium beer called Delirium Tremens which has a 13% alcohol level which I shall be drinking! Very good beer that will warm you up!

Pot Roast.

Pot Roast.

Mediocre cuts stewed in its own juices with mushy vegetables?

Unless you’re an 80-year old New Englander - Aim higher.

That’s the one. Since I was introduced to quality sipping tequila for the first time a few years ago I prefer it to everything. I used to think Cuervo was tequila till I realized it’s just puke juice.

Agreed. We're not serving pot roast on Christmas Day, or Christmas Eve. It's what I made recently. I guess I didn't read the initial post carefully!
