When Good Beer is hard to find...

1st let me say If your at a bar & good beer is hard to find... RUN!, Get OUT and go to a "Good Bar". Now if this is not an option, I think I have found the answer.

Saturday night I was looking to go out, small problem was, no one else wanted to go out. Later on I found out that Michael Gairo, Leanne, & Sawyer were heading to Whiskey Tango. I decided to go even though I knew the only good brew on tap there was "Mother's Milk" AKA Guinness. Normally this would not be a problem but I wasn't in the mood for stout. I went kinda hoping they had gotten on the band wagon & started serving Smithwick's, Pronounced with a silent W. Kinda like "Smithicks" or "Smitticks". I have been drinking this all summer and can't get enough of it. To get back on track, I was hoping the band they had playing that night, Reaction, would actually surprise me & be decent.

I got there around 11pm, & soon after found Gairo, Sawyer & Leanne. I had gotten a pint of Guinness since, as expected, the Tango had no other real beer. What is it with Bars these Days, 10 taps, Guinness, Budweiser, Coors Lite, Bud Lite, Miller Lite, Michelob Ultra lite, Rolling Rock, etc. The Band was up on stage playing and the drinking began. Funny thing is, this band played a lot of top 40's stuff, that usually sounds real good, but it wasn't sounding good coming from them.

This Night was heading in a downward spiral real fast, Mike & Leanne were drinking Malibu Bay Breeze' & Sawyer was looking for someone to do a shot with him but wouldn't go the extra mile & do a Car Bomb or Shot of Jameson's with me. To compound the fun Sawyer found out that a Bride had just come into the Tango, Normally this would be fine, but this was the Bride from the wedding he had ditched earlier in the night. Oh Boy!!!!!!!!!! From that point on he was bobbing & weaving to avoid a scene. HE He HE He!!!! I mean what are the chances....

Anyway after a few pints of Guinness I decided it was time to try my new signature hard Alcohol Mix. When I returned to the bar I asked for a pint of Guinness & a Jameson's, Sour Mix, & 7-up. The bartender looked at me with a puzzled look then shook his head in an interesting way. Oh well.... I put down the Pint in minutes & began to enjoy my newly found concoction. WOW, this was some good shit.... I usually like Jameson's in an ICB, but I haven't really had it in any other drink, besides a shot. This was a great mix, obviously it was like a whiskey sour, but this was more of a whiskey Sour/Ass kicker with a phizz. Needless to say one of them and a few more pints and I was doing just fine.

Sawyer meanwhile was still trying to coerce someone to do a shot with him. I kept naming Irish Whiskeys we could shoot and he kept giving me that "Are You Al'Right" Look. He finally gave in and we did a shot of Tullamore Dew. Supposedly one of the more mellow Irish Whiskeys, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTT. This stuff was like arsenic going down. Or at least what I would Imagine arsenic would taste like. Here's Sawyer's Reaction....
Speaking of reactions, Reaction the band was still playing & since the alcohol was flowing I guess they were getting better. Sawyer & I went up to the Stage to watch there 3rd set. I really miss good cover bands. All's Reaction had was 1 awesome Guitarist, He Rocked. The Lead singer sounded like he should have been fronting a high school band. But as I usually say for any band, At least they have he balls to get u there and do that.

Sawyer later got to dance & grind with some lesbians, I guess he had his beer goggle's pulled on real tight, cause these 2 were hideous. But the best was the guy dancing with them before & after Dan finished, who though he was actually gonna take them home & get some. HA HA HA.... There lesbians they don't need you, Pal....


As usual though a good night out with friends, is better than sitting at home blogging...
