Good point BM
Yes, frig has something to do with ladies. Fridge is where you keep beer.

I agree with bear. used in a sentence:

A beer used for frigging would be warm shortly.

Do women buy long neck bottles more than men?

Well, you could have "beer" slippers...

I live in the midwest, it is "Fridge" or "frigerator" here... not reefer/pot/mary Jane/joint/etc....

Has anyone had Sam Adams Double Bock... Good stuff but only at certain times of the year.

I'm not much of a beer fan. Prefer berries to beer.. :-)

I found the double bock at of all places, Osco (Basically a Walgreens)

You could serve this stuff as a meal. Very think and rich. I want to say I had 2 and was drunk off my ass.

I have a friend that has a bottle of triple bock. Almost impossible to find this stuff.

I have 2 bottles of 1995 triple bock at home.. Think & I bought them when they came out... we tried one in 1995-- tasted like a thick soy sauce... so we decided we'd let them age and see what happens... do you know what year of triple bock your friend has? how did he like it?

actually, I will have to check when I go home, ours might be a 94 as well. We tried it a year or so after... it was "interesting" to say the least... we still have 2 bottles and not sure when we will try it next! Has he read anything abou t it? I hope he has it on its side so that the cork doesn't dry up!

Yep, I told him to do that. I am a wine freak. We have a perfect location in our basemant to store wine. So far I have roughly 250 bottles in my collection. Mostly reds, not a big fan of whites. The whites I have are a lot of Resling.

Most of what I have are not more than 10 years old. I tend to buy a lot of the good years which have been produced.

Reds last longer. I find most of the info I need to know online at the growers sites.

I'll take a stout beer over ales or pilsners any day!

AND... I love ice cream...
I'm going to have to give this one a try-- I'm guessing that you could probably use any type of pop (aka soda) or carbonated beverage and get a decent result!

here's the text...

Stout beer has such a rich creamy malted flavor that to me a pint is more like having dessert than drinking a beer. Sitting over a pint in an irish bar in San Francisco I decided that the combination of Guiness and ice cream was worth a shot.


1 cup Guinness stout(or any stout beer)
1 cup whole milk
2 cups cream
2 ounces glucose syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup egg yolks

Bring beer, milk, cream, glucose, and sugar to a boil, drizzle into the egg yolks while whisking vigorously. Heat to 185 degrees F stirring constantly and pour through a fine seive and chill over an ice bath. When ice cream base is cold, freeze in an ice cream machine.

A viewer, who may not be a professional cook, provided this recipe. The FN chefs have not tested this recipe and therefore, we cannot make representation as to the results.

My friend has had guiness with cream-- the rich nutty/chocolaty flavor of the stouts go well with the sweetness of the cream.

BTW, Guiness has about 1/3 fewer calories than regular Canadian beer - less for US beer with lower alcohol.

Hey Diane, there's a place in Ann Arbor that specializes in Guinness fare and they have ice cream there. I can't for the life of me remember what the name of the pub is though.

Pink, just a point of info. - Stout is an ale.
There are only two types of beer, ale or lager, depending on the yeast used.

Oops... Not that well-versed I'm afraid... LOL

I don't like the pale ales I guess-- you know, the ones that are more Yellow/amber in color...

I prefer darker beers-- my friend told me it must be because I don't like the "hoppy-ness" of the lighter beers....

Seems like a lot of the Stouts are more "chocolaty" or "coffee-like" in flavor....

I usually use regular beer to cook with... :-)

BTW-- what is a "double bock" considered?
Sam Adams has a really nice double bock (only available very rarely in the midwest... :-( )
