OT: You ain't chillin if you ain't grillin!!

PrintThis has absolutely NOTHING to do with Braves stats, the team's management, or the team in general (hence the 'OT' proclamation). So tune this fan post out if thats what you are looking for.
Instead this post is just a Spring-Training-Get-Me-Through-Till-April filler post. I don't think I'm alone when I say I love to grill during the summer months and nothing complements a 7:10pm first pitch more than a cold brew and a grill. In my life, they go hand in hand. My two passions are my Braves and cooking/grilling. I just got my first Big Green Egg for Christmas and I've become obsessed. This isn't a BGE forum but I've included a pic of my BGE and the table I made for it. This is set up right outside my Braves man-cave on the patio. I'll spend 6 hours a night watching Braves baseball, shootin' some pool, and puttin' down a couple pops here during the summer months... this is my heaven.
This leads me to my two questions. During your late evening Braves game nights at home:
1. What's your cocktail or beer of choice when you're going to put down a couple on a weeknight while Chip Carey screams into his mic?
-and-
2. What's your specialty on the grill and what kind of marinades/rubs/prep do you use? Maybe something you prepare for the day-long tailgates in the Blue lot. I don't know... let's get creative with this and learn a little bit about the Talking Chop regulars!
My new BGE and table:

Originally from Western New York, I grew up on Molson Canadian and Labatt Blue.
My go to grilled dish is below, a Coffee Encrusted Pork Tenderloin.

excellent beer choices. I was going to name Molson as my “go-to”
never had coffee encrusted anything though.

Do you have ties to the NE United States or you just picked up the taste for Molson living elsewhere?

Loving the Labatt
I’m from SC and picked up a 6er w/ a bud one time while grilling b4 a game. Loved it since
Melky was a fail, but that was Melky’s fault, or the fault of Atlanta for having awesome cheeseburgers and ribs.

+1 for the Yuengling for the following reasons:
1. It’s cheap. I don’t know why the manu doesn’t raise the price because its worthy of more than the $9.99/12er (on sale). I’d pay Sam Adams’ prices for Yuengling.
2. It’s everywhere. We just got it in GA two years ago and now it is in all the grocery stores and gas stations.
3. I went to pharmacy school in Pittsburgh and Yuengling is made in Pottsville, PA, so I like to think I am drinking my local college beer…. even though Pitt and Pottsville are three hours apart. LOL.
"This stadium is upside down!!!" -Jim Powell, 4/5/2010
To be honest
I liked Yuengling more when it wasn’t available in GA. It was what I would always drink when I visited my family and friends back in Virginia and Maryland, and now that it’s available down here, I’m kinda over it now. It’s not bad once you’re already buzzed, but there’s a list of beers I’d rather drink before Yuengling now.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.

I'll bite
1. Grolsch – damn fine beer.
2. Smoked Steele-head trout.
My daughter caught a monster Steele-head last year, it was an epic moment for me, and we smoked one side of it for about 6 hours. Picked some fresh rosemary from the garden tossed it into a blender with a couple garlic cloves and olive oil. Smother the fish with it and place in smoker. Best fish I have ever tasted, can’t wait to catch another this spring!
If you like Coffee pork I have a mad recipe for a boston butt though it is a “crock-pot” dish (non-griller). It’s sort of a “proprietary” recipe so I don’t want to post it online, but if you email me ….
Not very original
1. I tend to favor cervesas, so I like brews like Presidente, Dos Equis, Sol, and Corona. But I’m not very discriminative, and my beer fridge tends to have a variety of brews, ranging from cervesa, seasonal Sam Adams, Sweetwater Blue, Dogfish Head Indian Brown, Amstel Light, and admittedly, Bud Light with lime.
2. I’m a charcoal, sometimes wood griller, and I have an also-unoriginal Weber grill on my back patio that is a season away from retirement. I’m not averse to experimenting with different meats/veggies on the grill, but when I’ve had a long day at work and the Braves are on the road, I’ll typically stick to the basics; burgers, brats, hot dogs. Food for watching baseball for me, I’d rather not have to use utensils. Hell, even plates are useless unless it’s holding more food, out of reach for pets.
The best feelings are going in and out of the house eating the first dog/brat while the other food finishes and watching the first innings of a game.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I need to try Amstel Light. I’ve heard so much about it but never have ventured there. And you can NEVER go wrong with a brat… I’d pile the sauerkraut on too.
"This stadium is upside down!!!" -Jim Powell, 4/5/2010
I like your taste in beer. Have you tried Modelo Especial? (Same brewery as Corona). Also, Sam Adams Octoberfest should be sold year round. It’s amazing.

Sam Adams is such a good brewery
They really do have the best seasonals. The Nobile Pils and Octoberfest are two of the best beers I’ve ever had.
+1 for Nobil Pils
Unlike Swo, but like Swo, I’m a big fan of the Cherry Wheat
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Agreed
I’ll buy three cases at the end of the season, kept them cold in the man-fridge and have it year round…. well, at least till spring when I succumb to temptation and polish them off.

Sam Adams Dunkelweizen got me started on good beers and now my beer bottle collection numbers over 200 (which is quite an accomplishment in Alabama)

I may not win...
But I’ll promise a top three finish in the most beers tried category.
Barring any brew connoisseurs such as myself, I’ll take the prize without much of a fight.
I’m 30 now, and have been trying at least 2 new beers per week since I graduated college at 22. Even in college, I was trying at least one new brew per week, as I had a radio show with a beer of the week. So that alone puts me at approximately nearly 1,000. That doesn’t include beer festivals attended…gone to Great American Beer Fest three times now, probably try 100 new beers each time I do that.
Add in CO breweries, tap houses, etc., and I figure I can offer a conservative estimate of 1,500 beers.
I love IPAs, Belgians, stouts, abbeys, browns, and wheats. I have it pretty easy living in Colorado, as the microbrew explosion out here has been tremendous. I can go to any of about 20 bars, breweries, and tap houses at any given time and expect to find more new beers than I can try in an evening. My favorite is Falling Rock Tap House, which rotates out kegs of more than 75 different beers at any given time, none of them being major domestics. My favorite brewery is Great Divide, which doesn’t put out a ton of different beers but has had probably 30 or so since I moved to CO. It’s the 7th ranked brewery in the world, according to BeerAdvocate or Ratebeer (can’t remember which), both of which are reputable beer journals.
My favorite beer is Great Divide’s Anniversary Wood Aged Double IPA, of which the 17th Anniversary batch becomes available on April 8 at their upcoming release party. The 15th installment was my very favorite, but last year’s 16th was also incredibly well done, would still fall in my top five. It’s got a mellow, citrus-y, oaky, vanilla-y taste that balances well with the hops you’d expect from a double IPA (most double IPAs are overwhelmingly hoppy and you don’t experience any balance). It has a 10-10.5% ABV, but you can’t taste the alcohol nearly as much as you’d expect. Really-well crafted.
I could go on and on about beer all day long, but I’ll stop here before it gets ugly.

Hold on a minute
I may have you beat….retired sailor here…and sailor’s can drink….and know their beer facts….I thought I had drank a lot of different beers from San Miguel to Kiren from a Scotish brew dark brown ale but then I realized during my last tour in the UK I had most def became a true Beer Snob! Why?, I found out that there was almost 400 different breweries in Belgium and I didn’t really care!

You missed out then
Belgian beer (as a whole) is the best in the world. The only other place that’s in the ballpark is the Western US microbrew scene.
Uhhh had a few
Also, Trader Joe’s sometime carries a belgium winter weat…mmmmm good. I went to belguim twice…had a couple of Bruges when I toured the brewery…..but the best micro brew I have had in the states (though the ones in San Diego was pretty good) I got to know the brew master at McGuires Irish pub in Pensacola and his Pale Ale was to die for…his brown stout was ok but I drank…uhhh I had a few of them…There specialty drink is something called an Irish wake…..bad bad things happen after two of them!!!!!

I see it all the time, but just never bothered to give it a whirl. I guess when I see that it’s drinkin’ time, I go straight for what I like works first these days.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Sol, and Pacifico
Man I love those brews. Tecate is good, and Dos Equis is good. I avoid Corona like the plague tho. I feel like Corona is the pop music of cervesas. Want to try Presidente but haven’t found it around here
Melky was a fail, but that was Melky’s fault, or the fault of Atlanta for having awesome cheeseburgers and ribs.
by Broccoman on Feb 21, 2011 4:11 PM EST
Corona's not bad
My only objection is when some places have the audacity to call it “an import,” and try to charge thusly for it.
As for Presidente, I’ll admit now that I grew curious about it because it was the common beer constantly displayed in Dexter, that when I went to Florida for a trip, I drank nothing but Presidente. The lowdown is that it’s a Dominican brew, and only available in the state of Florida outside of the D.R. I’ve only found it twice in the Metro Atlanta area, and it’s been a while; I stop at almost every supermercado and check when I find one new.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Had Presidente in the Dominican Republic, was there a week and drank it everyday not because it was good (it wasn’t), but because it was the only beer available. It’s on my list of “sounds better than it tastes” type of beers. It’s a lightweight really, not much body, probably best when you’re looking for quantity versus quality.
Spring Break
in the Bahamas, that stuff was 99 cents/can. It doesn’t get better than that!

I usually drink Sierra Nevada, which I think is the greatest beer in the world. The Glissade Golden Bock that I’m drinking right now is the shit.
I have a standard Char-Broil Commercial Series 4-burner. I’ve heard nothing but good things about the Egg.
Love Sierra Nevada...
You’re right, the Glissade is really well-done, and I love their harvest series of IPAs. Wasn’t as big a fan of the stouts they put out for their recent anniversary, but they were still solid.

"This stadium is upside down!!!" -Jim Powell, 4/5/2010
This is an outstanding thread.
For beer I really enjoy Landshark, but when Chip really gets excited (FISTED!), I’ll reach for plain old Jack and Coke.
For the grill…well, it may not be as manly, but I usually do my steaks on the stove-top – heat up some olive oil in a pan, season the steak with some garlic salt, and sear it 3 1/2 minutes on each side. Best. Steak. Ever.
But for the grill, any kind of Dale’s seasoning is really good, and rub it in some garlic and onion powder. The BGE definitely does it best.

1. Yeungling is my beer of choice for daily consumption/company. I do like to rotate other brews in though, XX, Guinness, Sweetwater, and Sam Adams Seasonals being among my favorites.
For mixers, I tend to go with a basic Cuba Libre/Rum & Coke.
2. I don’t grill very often. When I do, I like to go for a very basic steak with just olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, or a Pork Tenderloin marinaded in Lime, honey, and chipolte.
For Burgers, the best tip is to buy the cut whole get the guy at the store to grind the meat fresh for you the day you cook it.

My three favorite beers are Sam Adams Cherry Cherry Wheat, Sam Adams Summer Ale, and Leinenkugel Summer Shandy.
but I am usually drinking either a Leinenkugel or living the High Life.
as far as grilling, I will grill anything, but I make chicken the msot (various recipes) and then brats.
On a related note, I aam completely jealous of your big green egg. that thing is awesome, can’t wait to get one of those bad boys.

I love a good Sol, or Pacifico while grilling. Yuengling is a fav, as is Labatt Blue. My everyday beer is typically Miller Lite.
As for meats, I love boneless pork chops, thick cut, marinaded in only beer (usually Pacifico/Sol), sliced onions, garlic, a touch of cilantro, and some sliced peppers (using whichever you want dependant on how hot you want).
Man, this thread is making me hungry, as well as thirsty for both beer, and Braves Baseball.

by Broccoman on Feb 21, 2011 4:11 PM EST
1) My favorites are Edmund Fitzgerald and Eliot Ness (both by a regional place named Great Lakes Brewing Company). When I don’t have access to my local favorites here in flyover country, I tend to enjoy Killian’s.
2) For meats to go with baseball, I stick with simple stuff. Burgers, dogs, kielbasa. If sitting at a table doesn’t interrupt valuable baseball-watching time, my ‘specialty’ is steak with my sooper-sekrit marinade.
+1 for GLBC
every great lakes brew is a gem

Great Lakes is phenomenal. Sadly, their distribution doesn’t come out this way much, but some of it is available back home. When back in Nebraska, I generally go w/ Great Lakes, Boulevard, and Goose Island.

Cool idea for a post...Making me want a beer though...But then again what doesn't make me want a beer
I like New Castle or Rolling Rock and grilled chicken
You won't always agree with me...Because sometimes you're wrong.
I have a dilemma. I am a college kid. I can’t stand the taste of beer. What is a good starter beer for me, one that can make me not hate beer? I really do want to be a man.
Bass Ale, smooth coffee-like finish
not even coffee, which i dont enjoy or drink, coffee ice cream really.
On a budget, Coors banquet, doesnt have that ass-taste coors light does.
"IN THE AIR LEFT FIELD- THAT'LL DO IT!... AND IT KEEPS ON GOING; THAT IS A HOMERUN!"
Talking Chop: where you get "final warnings" for calling out blog authors who quit on the team in a pennant race
Many have suggested Yuengling which is a good starting point and will fit in the college kid budget.
I also suggest using an island style lager as a good starting point for beer drinking as it is refreshing, light, and with simple taste notes (though it isn’t really a “man beer” if that is your goal.)
Samuel Smith makes a really good, pure-brewed lager which is a great starter if a bit expensive.
If you want to go high grav I suggest Tommy Knocker’s Imperial Nut Brown Ale is flavorful and packs a punch.
Otherwise, off the top of my head the Sam Adams Octoberfest is a great starter beer.
The question is what kind of beer did you try
If we have an idea of what beer you tried, it could lead to some idea to what to suggest.
Me, I don’t like beers that are too hopsy (bitter) – so pretty much anything brewed by Rogue is out of the question for me, no matter how awesome the names of their brews are. When I first started drinking “legally”, it was while I was visiting Toronto, where the drinking age is/was 19. So my first favorites were stuff like Alexander Keith, Molson, and Strongbow (cider).
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Wanna know how I know you are gay…cause Strongbow used to be a favorite of yours…

It’s not bad, especially for a newbie. I will say though, cider beer is a favorite of the wife. It’s got a decent taste, and I’ll drink it, but it’s certainly not my first choice.

I should be a little adventurous
I’ve seen people mix random things with Strongbow that I assume tastes horrid (Guinness, Chocolate stout). I thought the people ordering them were mostly doing it for the science-y way the liquids layered for bar talk, but the people drinking them seem to love them.

Yeah.
Seen all those different Strongbow mixes, mostly at The Vortex.
Never tried any of them apart from the Harp/Strongbow mix. Works well in that it takes a lot of the “bite” out of the Strongbow but doesn’t complicate the flavor too much—which I think the Guinness/Strongbow mix or the like would.

Don't get me wrong...
Cider is very good; however, Strongbow is not.
Personally, I do not like any cider that adds sugar in order to increase the alcohol content. Cider that is created by allowing the natural fermentation of the fruit to create the alcohol content is great. If you live in California, Oregon, or Washington, look for Two Rivers Cider. Now that is some good stuff.

Hornsby's is great
When I was 17 my cousin brought over two 12packs to split amongst three of us. My light drinking friend only had two and was stupid drunk. The other 10 were split equally between me and my cousin. I’ve always had high drinking tolerance but got pretty drunk from only five beers. It’s a strong brew!
That is a good thing about cider beer...
they tend to have a higher alcohol content.

And he comes back with jokes
What did all the ice melt off of the LAN lines in Anchorage allowing you to get back to the internet??
I’ll have you know that I still do enjoy the occasional Strongbow. In fact, I had a couple pints last night at my trivia night because all the Killians, Guinness, and Sweetwater 420 were all tapped out, leaving an obvious choice between Strongbow vs. Cream Ale.

My suggestion...
Try all styles (Lager, Mexi-style lager, wheat, brown ale, IPA, stout), and find one that is palatable. Once you can find a brew you can suck down without hating yourself, keep on it. Then look for other beers with that same style. Branch out to beers with similar tastes, and eventually you’ll get used to the overall flavor of beer.
From there, repeat. Try everything again once beer tastes good to you, and you’ll probably find another style you enjoy. Find more brews with that style and give them a whirl.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
If all else fails in the initial step, try something fruity. Pyramid Apricot Ale, Lindemann’s make a bunch of fruity ales with wild yeast, etc. They’re all pretty good, but it’s not going to improve your masculinity. However, it’s all a process…drinking those will still get you more used to the taste of beer, enabling you to branch out and try other stuff.

www.beeradvocate.com is an invaluable resource for this.

ive spent some time on beer advocate, and its a cool resource
But for a beginner idk. I’ve had some terrible beers that were A’s on BA. The hoppier and the more alcohol content, the higher the grade, with very few exceptions. i think someone starting out would enjoy something the more pretentious of the reviewers over there would dismiss as having no taste.

Also it provides similar beers (maybe its just style) and ratings for the style which helps if you’ve developed a taste for a certain brew style.
Valid point...
It’s hard to tell what’s a basic brew versus an advanced brew on those types of sites.
However, it’s a good resource for looking at different styles of beer, finding similar styles, etc. Once you’re a novice, I’d recommend it.

Pretty much, you can read all you want about beers and learn the jargon, but it isn’t until you drink it yourself and make your own judgment, will anyone actually learn what they like.

One gateway beer...to more beer.
And I hate to even utter its name – Blue Moon.
It’s a Belgian White, which is the first major beer you’re likely to try with actual ingredients outside of malt, hops, yeast and water. I actually really dig white ales, but Blue Moon is really generic (for my taste buds). It’s getting to be that time of year…give Sam Adams’s White Ale a look, should be out soon, if it isn’t already. It was my first favorite “springtime” beer, and it’s great for baseball season. It’s light but has some flavor zing to it, not too strong, and you can drop an orange in it, if you so desire. I don’t, but to each their own…the citrus will kill some of the alcohol taste and add a fruity, sugary touch to the brew.

blue moon is so palatable its impossible not to be able to slam them down. only met one person who didnt like blue moon, thought it was sickeningly sweet. man points.

I can’t stand Blue Moon either…
People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again.
Yep...
I think it starts in March.
I consider it a (much) better version of Blue Moon – crisper, cleaner, more attention to the balance of ingredients.
I haven’t picked up a sixer yet this year, though, so I’m not absolutely sure it’s out yet. But soon…

Don’t feel too bad. I’m not much of a beer guy; I’ve experimented and found a few that I know I can tolerate, but I really have to be in the mood for one. I like whiskey and scotch, but my casual standby drink of choice is just a plain rum and coke with a healthy dose of lime.
That said, I’d recommend Sam Adams Cherry Wheat or Octoberfest (though you have till the fall for that one), or Modelo Especial. It’s the top shelf brand from the people that make Corona, and it goes down very easy.
"Life is a lot like a baseball game- you want your team to win, you want it to be a thriller, you don't want it to be called short on account of nature, and you wouldn't mind if it went into extra innings." -Dante Shepherd, survivingtheworld.net
I would suggest wheat beers, as they generally are the least harsh. I like you had to develop a taste for beers. I still don’t like anything that is to hoppy or bitter or anything that is a pale ale (much like the good sir Royhobbs).
i really enjoy anything that is a wheat beer, also they often throw in other flavors that kind of mask the flavor. but as many other people have stated, if you want to like beer start trying them and just keep going until you find some you like… there are so many different beers, you are bound to find one you like…and for the most part its personal preference. I like wheat beers with a little bit of fruit in them (Cherry Wheat, Blackberry Witbeir by Sam Adams), and I don’t care if it is a bit sissy (to be fair Berry Weiss by Leinenkugel is awful).

Awesome feedback from everyone. I guess I have some beers to try. MVHS, I have tried all sorts of beers to find ones I like, but no luck so far. I have gone with Bud light and Coors when I actually wanted to have multiple, but I never can. So I now have several beers to try when I’m in Orlando next week for Spring Training.

Start with Blue Moon or something similar then move up to Yuengling, my personal favorite as well as popular choice in this thread. Try different types until you find what you like most. Then wait until you really love the taste of beer to try Guinness or Newcastle. First time I tried Guinness when I was younger for all I knew it was a glass of foamy piss. I was not a fan right away!
Good luck on your endeavors!

Also, as I didn't care much for the taste of beer until recently...
liquor drinks work well for this problem. You have to be careful not to get too drink too quickly, but liquor with mixers is usually sweeter and tastier. Rum and coke, whiskey and coke, whiskey and ginger ale, vodka and oj, etc. Mixing with coke or fruit juice can make it easier to take the taste.

i went hot chicken style (hot chicken is my metaphor for the opposite of cold turkey…it’s not perfect but it works, instead of stopping something immediately…you start something immediately…ok so it’s not even the perfect opposite… screw off)
drink scotch and ice (or forego the ice, if you so choose. I personallylike my scotch below room temperature) until you like it.

mmmmmm beeeeeeeer
I drink Yuengling as my default (aka Bud/Coors Light). I usually have a 12 in the fridge – it also helps that it’s my wife’s favorite beer. I like to try new beer, so I’m always rotating what I’m drinking. Been to the Jax Bud brewery here, Bud’s American Ale and their summer Beach Bum Ale are decent, Mirror Pond Pale Ale is good, but I can’t get that since moving back to the southeast (Oregon Brewery, their Twilight Ale is a good seasonal brew as well). Guinness is yummy, but does a number on my stomach anymore. I’m not a fan of Sam Adams Boston Lager, but their seasonal stuff is good. Just tried Duke’s Cold Nose Brown Ale yesterday (Bold City Brewery) and that was really good.
Grillin’? Flank steak marinated with Dales, tomato juice & some spices. Sometimes some teriyaki kabobs.

I love Boston Lager. Used to be my go to beer (for me it is actually a great session beer) but I feel confident that something has been off with the taste lately. Maybe its just recent tastings that have thrown it off but it seems differently.
1) Bass Ale preferably. But bein a poor college kid, cant beat cheap malt liquor as long as its ice cold. I’ll drink a frosty Mickeys or OE800 all day over bud, miller, pabst, natty.
2) butterflied skirt steak marinated 4+ days in my blend of garlic, bbq sauce, chili powder, and some other things. Served on country wheat bread with a thin spread of light mayo and a slice of jack or swiss. I’m also told I ’q a fine mesquite bacon cheeseburger.

A corncob on the grill recipe
1. Soak corn, husks and all, in lightly salted water over night
2. Peel back husks carefully and apply generous amounts of melted butter as well as thick peppercorn pepper
3. Carefully re-wrap buttered and peppered corn in husk. The key is the moisture, so the husks being damp still means you’re in good shape. Might need to cord-shut the tips of the husks.
4. Throw entire corn cobs, still wrapped in husks on grill. This is not a recipe for those who like rare corn.
You know you’ve done it right if when you peel off the dried out husks, the corn is lightly charred, and the peppercorns stuck to the cob are swollen and still sticking to the cob.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
there is a step 5 or 6…douse in butter and litghtly salt.
I also found that putting a little bit of sugar on em is amazing ( i just combine the salt and sugar and then sprinkle it on).
I have eaten meals that consisted solely of corn on the cob. by far my favorite thing about summer.

Country grilling
One of the benefits of living in the second house on the family farm is that I have all the extra freezers used when we butcher a cow. That means lots of steaks and roast at my disposal at any time. The other great part of that – I don’t have to put up with store beef. I’ve been to many stores before I moved back, and I’ve never had beef even in the same continent as home-grown balanced-fed beef. I would raid the freezer for a couple steaks and a cooler full of ground beef whenever I was home when I lived out of state. The absolute best part of that. I can grill up a plain steak and not use any sauce, and it tastes AMAZING!
I’ve always been a “rich” taste guy, according to my friends (who were getting drunk on Keystone and Bud/Miller/Coors Light at parties). I enjoy the Sam Adams seasonals and various varieties of Guinness. Typically, though, if I’m having a steak I want to savor, I go with a nice tumbler of well-aged Scotch to savor as well.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.
Beer & Brats
Mostly drink Yuengling or support a local micro-brew unless I’m slummin it and go for MIller Lite which is always on sale in at least one of the grocery stores. Also like Maker’s Mark for a good smoth bourbon, Jack Daniels, Crown Royal if I’m feeling classy or a nice scotch. Moonshine is also welcomed; Junior Johnson’s peach brandy may be the best thing to ever contain alcohol. It’s legendary, honestly!
Johnsonville Cheddarwursts is my go-to grillin food. I’m fairly young and not much for grilling yet so I don’t own one, but my last roomate had a cheap $20 grill that was very effective. We’d grill burgers, steaks, chicken, whatever, but Cheddarwursts were always my favorite.
Why is it that
guys like grilling but not cooking?
Because grilling involves fire.

Beers, no. Liquor, yes. I do it every game.
You’re allowed to take in non-alcoholic beverages. Simply empty a coke bottle or water bottle and refill with your liquor of choice and boom-goes-the-dynamite! I think the rules say the bottle has to be sealed, so after you refill the bottle, be sure to tighten the cap as tight as possible to make it look sealed. Worst case is they find out your scam and confiscate it… not Earth-shattering. I’m 7 for 7 with that method though.

I used to live in Mooresville NC while attending college.

here's a trick
Since turner field allows outside food, here’s what you do.
1. Be in group.
2. Go to moe’s, Willy’s, chipotle or any other burrito joint. Get a burrito.
3. Wrap 12 oz. Cans if your preferred brand in tin foil, disguise it as a wrapped burrito. This is why it helps to be in a group so one guy doesn’t look like he’s going to eat five burritos.
4. Party.
Don’t be obvious with your contraband beer, and dont push your luck with an entire case or anything. and obviously put the real burrito on the top if an anal security guard wants to poke at them to check.

wrap in tin foil, steam with cider
Use your discretion with heat, but obviously slower time + longer cooking = more tender. But I prefer to oven steam with cider until they’re 75-80% cooked and then flash finish them on the grill, covered in whatever spices, rubs or sauces I happen to have around. Usually paprika, brown sugar, cumun and various peppers.

Vodka or tequila and steak
I usually just have a screwdriver or tequila sunrise with a salt and pepper seasoned steak sometimes marinated in some simple worchestershire type marinade on the gas grill. Nothing fancy for me. If it’s beer it’s usually just Bud Light.
This post forced me to buy up some tri-tip (was going to buy flank, but Publix had tri-tip on sale) and it’s marinating in the Dales/tomato juice/garlic/lemon juice with peppers, onions, squash and pineapple. Gonna grill it up tonight – might even crack open a brew with it :)

My beer selection...
depends on the weather. My go to offseason low-gravity beers are Fat Tire, Session, and a new brew called Railbender (by Eerie Brewing Co). If I’m going high-gravity, it’s most definitely St. Bernadus Abt 12.
However, I have a guilty pleasure that I know most beer purists frown upon and that is Abita’s Strawberry Harvest Lager. Nothing says “beautiful day” quite like wiffleball and Strawberry Harvest.

and grilling....
I’m having a beach party today (my wife and i live in santa rosa beach) with some friends. we’re smoking ribs today. with smoking, the dry rub is key (paprika, a bit of chili powder, brown sugar, salt, onion powder, minced garlic). the dry rub makes the ribs sweet enough, so we’ll go with a less sweet sauce (probably mustard based).
also, bratwursts is a st. louis tradition that my wife brought to our kitchen. i can’t take credit for this recipe, but bobby flay’s brats are ridiculous (minus the pickled eggs….yuck). He says to use “dark beer”. He doesn’t mean porter or black ale, but just a nice, toasty lager (fat tire, railbender, blue point). If you want to go a bit darker, I’ve used amberbock or abita’s turbodog. Here’s the recipe. Use wisely, my friends. Guys will be in awe. Women will be impressed.

BGE Table
Can you give me more info about that table?
Is that a large size BGE. I’ve just been introduced to BGE’s recently, but it’s next on my list. I’ve been looking at tables like crazy.
