8/29 Ask Drunk Cope!

[Stryker]

Having some brews tonight. Just had a Grape Squish from Barley Oak, an Amber Lager from Smartmouth and now am drinking their saison: Alter Ego.

Let's talk last preseason game, life, fine drink, and the final cut down roster!

Grab a drink of your choice and let's chat!

And my house is ripped to shreds. Just demoed the walls to open the house, then we're redoing the kitchen.

Not sure what you like Mad, but for bourbons, I like sour mash, and I also like bourbons that finish oily with a hint of leather. Copper Fox makes an excellent bourbon that won't break the bank. Very inexpensive ryes, I love Bulleit Rye.

Whiskey for me, I love Irish whiskey's for their sweetness, and Scotches for their complexity. I drink a lot of Powers and Paddy's for Irish. I do not prefer Jameson. Tullimore Dew also has some great small batch stuff. Scotch, I can spend a day writing about. I love Speysides and Islays. Everyone has and knows the Highland Scotches, they are usually slightly oily, with caramel and vanilla tones. Speysides are a bit more complex. I used to drink a ton of Belvine when it was affordable, now it's out of my price range, but the double wood and 21yr port woods are excellent. For Islay Lagavulin 16 is my go to. Much earthier, oilier, and strong peat smoke, but more mellow than a Laphroig. Lagavulin just put out a 25yr, but it's $1200 a bottle, so I'll probably never try it.

Good evening DIC! How are you doing?

First off, I love the nickname for Switzer! I mentioned this earlier tonight, Kick returning is more like punt returning. Gone are the plodding punt returners, because with no run up, closer gaps, and no combo blocks, kick returns are more like punt returns. Switzer can do both, but he is best at punt returning. I think he will be our best option this season outside of AB returning.

DHB makes the team only because Tucker got hurt. Tucker was killing it. He was our second best blocker on the team at the WR position, he's an excellent hands catcher with wiggle, and he was covering great on punt team, making tackles, and downing a punt on the 1. He may come back and take DHB off the roster, but right now, he may be an IR candidate, and I like his upside more than Eli.

As for Cats, they are fickle as hell. My cat gravitates to the rugs and avoids the hardwood. They do what they want, and every once in a while they will show us some affection.

Ive tried Paddy's and Bulleit. I try to stay clear of Scotches cause I will certainly go bankrupt... I only keep some 15 or 18 years of the staple brands for friends that need it lol... Ill defiantly try Powers and the copper fox... thanks Drunk Cope!!!

Oh yeah can we see some pics of the remodel?

Great advice. It's her kitchen. I designed the first one, and she loved it. I'm designing this one, but she's selecting the look and materials, and how the cabinets will work and where they will be placed. I'm really good with spacial design, and I enjoy it.

I usually buy artistic faucets from Moen, but I'd love your input.

Well c'mon over. I'll pop for the beer and you can redesign my kitchen.

Hey Slash! Welcome to the party! Mixed drinks are fun. I usually don't drink sodas anymore, have to keep trim. My go to now is flavored seltzer with vodka and lime or lemon juice. I'll grab some pics for you guys to check out.

Here's some shots of my house. Where all the wood is, used to be a wall. I have a rancher, and they built the dining room in the center of the house. I had all 4 walls removed around it to open the house.



Then we installed support posts on the ends to open the house into one big great room.

I'm always down for a beer. I'm more of a conceptualizer. I let the professionals do the layouts on paper. Mine are very rough sketches. Where do you live Hoot?

Thanks for the pics, love looking at different ideas. I have some work to do around here....

 

[Stryker]

Here's the original walls, it used to be the exterior walls before they built the additions. I had to remove the block and support the roof with new headers.

Hey Cope! If you like carbonated, naturally sweetened beverages (no sugar of course), look at La Croix. Cherry Lime & Sour Apple are some good ones from them.

Do you think Ola Adeyini (sp?) makes the 53? I was excited about Marcus Tucker too and he is a great blocker (just watch the Samuels TD that was called back), so what is his fate at this point?

And cheers my man, enjoy your evening. ��

 

[JMM]

Where did you buy the Smartmouth? The brother of a friend of mine is one of the owners of that brewery.

La Croix is very good. They are the first supermarket brand to go mainstream. I'm partial to Black Cherry Schweppes and Mango, Apple, and Grapefruit Bubly. I'm a PepsiCo guy.

I love OA. He's showing pass rush skills every game. Constantly gets pressure, but needs to win more in the running game. I think he has a good shot to make this roster, and if he does, it will be at the expense of LJ Fort. The Steelers will keep 9 LBs not 10.

I think the Steelers may IR Tucker to keep him. He's a Practice Squad option if he clears waivers, if they don't go the IR route. Tucker had a highlight block or special teams play every game. The Samuels breakdown here on the SN homepage has 3 vids. Tucker makes blocks on all 3 plays. Dude can ball!

That's great JMM! I've been to the brewery twice. Now they distribute, and have a sampler pack out locally in the Norfolk/VA Beach area. I bought a 12 pack in VA Beach last week and it was left over from my working there. Had the last 2 tonight. They do great beers.

North Carolina. Its only about 8.5 hours to hear from dahntahn and the motherland.

You in Va Beach area? I grew up near Richmond - spent a lot of time down Va Beach way in HS and college. Even skated Mt. Trashmore in my youth. Good times.

For a Minute I was drinking Tennessee Mules.... Like a Moscow mule but with JD instead of Vodka... If ginger beer isn't your thing, then JD mixes great with Lemonade or a faux Arnold Palmer with Iced tea,lemonade and Jack instead of Vodka

 

[JMM]

Very cool. If you like IPAs their Notch 9 is good. I see they no longer sell the Rule G. Both terms for the Railroad industry.

They have done very well in a short amount of time. When in the Charlottesville area let me know, we'll grab a beer or 6 and if the timing is right catch a game.

No I work down there a bunch. I do MD, VA, and DC. I know all of VA really well. love Richmond breweries the best. Adroit up in Purcivel is excellent as well.
