We are entering porter season, the best time of year on the beer calendar.
Hot black coffee in the mornings. Lots of water at the gym. Ames Lager at the tailgates. In Ireland.... Guinness!
Was big into the micro brew boom 10-15 years ago but also went out a lot more and drank more often. Typically it was Amber's
or APA/IPAs including Hopalicious, a great APA made in Madison but its brewery closed up and then someone else took it on but I haven't seen it for a long time.
Any more if I drink it's typically light, lower ABV like Miller Light or whatever.
I do have coffee every morning.

I started becoming allergic to fruit in my early 20s but I love the taste. I search out artificial fruit flavored stuff that actually tastes like the real thing.
I probably shouldn't for health reasons but I have a big can of Celsius every day because of the flavor. The caffeine is a nice plus as well because I don't really do coffee.
Also allergic to beer, so that's fun.

Non-alcoholic I'm a sucker for a good can of Coke. Nothing fancy.
Alcohol wise, I started collecting whiskey 5 years ago and I'm up around 90 bottles now. This one is my all time favorite:

Don't forget the orange peel - twist that oil all over the rim.
Try orange bitters instead of angostura.
And DEFINITELY use the high-dollar cherries - so much more flavor, really works with the bourbon. The Collins work for me without being as pricey as the Luxardo.
One of my favorite fall beers just hit shelves.
Pineau des Charentes. Mortgaged the farm and bought three bottles of it in Peoria this summer and now it's time to go back to Peoria.
Had my first one ever many moons ago at the Château Frontenac in Québec City.
It's a dessert wine fortified with cognac. Makes a great aperitif over ice.

I like a good bourbon on the rocks or a Captain and Coke for mixed. For beer its Peace Tree Blonde Fatale. So glad Backpocket started brewing that again!
Does anyone know if Yeungling is going to do chocolate beer again this season?
Missed it last year and wanted to get some to pour over vanilla ice cream as a dessert.
Also enjoy pouring framboise (raspberry beer from Belgium) over vanilla ice cream. Hy-Vee used to carry it, but last time I was there, didn't see any.
