Have a bottle of wine that you think I should try?
Have some beer you think I can’t live without?
Try a cocktail somewhere and want to share?
…or try something so, so awful that you want me to suffer as well?
This is where you can comment on all that and more, with beverages for me to try, ideas for posts you’d like to see, or anything of the sort.
If we can find four other people who might be into some self-abuse, I’ll spring for a six-pack of Big Flats 1901 Premium American Lager (if my local Walgreen’s carries it).
That is such a horrifying idea that I totally think we should do it.
Tres Blueberry Stout from Dark Horse Brewery – I have no idea if you will be able to get it in KC, but if not you should come to chicago ASAP just so you cna have it. It tastes like pie and coffee. Except that its beer. And it tastes like beer. But it also tastes like pie and coffee. It is awesome.

Oh…lame. I just discovered that they do not distribute south of IL. However, I think this is the perfect thing to justify that February visit you promised me and have not yet delivered on. Or a March visit. I’m not picky.
Oh man, that beer sounds fascinating. I’d be all over that like butter on bread.
I’m visiting the moment I can scrape monies together – there are several people in your fine city I need to imbibe with. Also: epic Goose Island trip.
Try Electra from Quady…the RED one…it’s dessert in a glass and one of my favorites. Plus it has an awesome label.
Also…what about trying some of the Missouri wineries? I like some of the St. James wines…the Pink Catawba and Friendship School White wont kill you, promise. I double dare you to try some of their fruitier ones! (just be sure to get pics of your mom and dad trying them for me)
I have some suggestions for you!
Beer:
Schalfly anything
Wine:
Columbia Crest Merlot
Ravines Dry Riesling
Starborough Sauvignon Blanc
Villa Maria Sauv Blanc
Beancott Sauv Blanc
Snoqualmie Naked Merlot
Yellow Tail Pinot Grigio
Fun list! I recognize the Columbia Crest Merlot and the Yellow Tail (obvs), but none of the others. I think I’ve maybe heard of the Starborough. I know we’ve got the Snowqualmie Riesling at work, but not the Merlot – I’ll have to track that down, though, because I love the concept of a naked Merlot.
Dude. Schlafly. I heart them so hard. They’re pretty much incapable of doing wrong in my eyes.
Von Stiehl Winery has a fantastic red wine called Naughty Girl
And I tried a new beer this weekend called Kentucky Ale. A bourbon barrel brew that tasted like none other – caramel butter maybe? Fantastic! You have to try both
Hey Kim! Your blog is fantastic! Here are a couple of Fort Collins’ (aka Beer Mecca) breweries to check out…
Funkwerks
Fort Collins Brewery
Cheers!
I’ve had some Fort Collins beers and loved them – Funkwerks doesn’t distribute to KS, so I’ll have to sort through some friends and see who has what to trade. Thanks for the recs!
