Food and Alcohol

A poster in the comments section for that article wrote about calling the 800 #. Sounds pretty weird.

My brother and I used to call OK's 800 number.
 
I hadn't seen this thread pop up much lately,and was coming here to describe this delicious sandwich that I just made. Before we get to the heart of the delicious sandwich, I would like to preface with the fact that I love bread dipped into marinara. there are few things that get me drooling quite like bread dipped in marinara. But when I say "bread", I don't mean shitty white bread. I mean solid, whole grain, stick to your ribs bread like Ezekiel Bread, Eureka Organic bread--shit like that. So, anyway, take two slices of bread, slather with marinara, smear one side with roasted pine nut hummus, chuck a piece of fake cheese on the other side (I'm a vegan), mash it together and chow down. You're welcome.
 
The 11% alcohol makes it worth it if you're debating it versus, say, a 5% beer. But yeah, there are beers at 7% or 8% in that $10-12 range. That's usually what I like to spend.
 
My go-to, reasonably easy to find beer is Dogfish Head 90 minute. $8 for a 4-pack at my local place. 9% abv and doesn't taste like it at all.
 
My go-tos are Two Hearted Ale, Left Hand Nitro Milk Stout, and certain of the Great Lakes beers (especially the Edmund Fitzgerald porter). During the winter, I drink the latter two more often. During the summer, I'll do Two Hearted or a sour ale/gose/etc. The only problem with sour beers is that they are often hard to find and their alcohol content is really low for the price.

Two of the best Gose's I have had are Westbrookes Gose (based out of Charleston) and Mission Gose. Westbrook also makes a Key Lime Gose that I have heard is damn good but I cannot get my hands on it.

If you want a really good beer that will fuck you up try Dragons Milk. Almost 12% and tastes great.

Those are 3 of my top 10 favorite beers

I love Dragon's Milk. But it's definitely pricey.

I will have to check out those goses. I usually drink Anderson Valley because it's easy to find. The Sierra Nevada one -- Otra Vez -- is not bad at all either. It's a little subtler than some. It's carried by major grocery stores like Harris Teeter, so that helps.
 
The Key Lime gose is great, but had to go to Westbrook to get it. The little they sell outside of the brewery sells out quickly. They had some at Brier Creek Beer Garden in Raleigh this summer, but couldn't even find it in any of the Charleston shops by mid-August.
 
Anderson Valley is a great brewery. I stay away from the high alcohol beers, and I find Bells 2 hearted doesn't really suit my pallet. However, their Rye Ale was lovely. IMO, the best breweries in America that are reasonably easy to find are Uinta and Ballast Point. Best bang for your buck is the Founders All Day IPA 15 pack, which can be had at your local grocery store for just under $20 including tax. Reasonably hoppy, about 5% ABV.
