I can never understand the obsession with Santa Claus. Since this is the right time of year and since associating products with Christmas is lazy but effective marketing, there’s no sense in fighting it.
See? Lazy marketing, and I fell for it.
This is my review of Rogue Santa’s Private Reserve Ale. Go ahead and pretend I drove 2 1/2 hours north just to take this photo.
Even as a kid it seemed a dubious task: one extremely obese man flies around the world delivering presents to all the good girls and boys on a single night. As an adult, unless Santa Claus holds the key to traveling between time and space it’s downright impossible. Besides, what does he do with the other 364 days out of the year? For one thing, Santa is actually an avid shooter. Here is a photo of him at the 2016 Las Vegas Shot Show:
He also spends his time in the summer riding the open road. Here he is at the annual Sturgis rally:
Santa has a lot going for him, and since he is a pretty high profile guy crisscrossing international airspace every year, the good folks at NORAD track his every move. Even if they started tracking him by accident, its once again proof there is nothing left to cut.
In previous years, this beer was a pretty standard winter lager. There was nothing wrong with it, and Rogue probably managed to sell every ounce of the stuff. Despite this, they determined that 2017 would be the year they change it up. Maybe they got tired of people comparing it to Sam Adams Winter Lager or the overall market saturation this time of year with winter lager-I don’t know.
Whatever the reason it was a good move, as the result is something much better in my opinion. It is now a Belgian-style ale. It is very fragrant, with notes of sour fruit. They list cherry and raspberry specifically. It is definitely a malty beer, but the tartness counters the overall sweetness nicely. Like everything else this time of year, it only comes once so find it while you still can. Unless you are the type that thinks Scrooge got soft and the Grinch was a poser, you’ll enjoy this. Rogue Santa’s Private Reserve 2017: 4.5/5
And if you do think Scrooge got soft and the Grinch was a poser, here’s some girls at Sturgis peddling Jack Daniels:
Merry Christmas!
I have a lot of Beer reviews, why don’t they get posted?
As you can see – these have a lot that goes into them. We had arranged and scheduled these some time out, and discussed the how and when of posting them. Blind submissions may get caught up to at some point….but it is more difficult than having Mexican Sharpshooter as a semi-regular feature (i.e similar to Vyhrus’ Firearms Friday and the like).
We have published (and will publish) things that get sent in … it may not be everything, and it may take a bit of time for the editors to get through everything!
Thanks for an excellent response Swiss, I do what I can to pitch in, but I don’t want to overwhelm you guys either, IYKWIMAITYD
🙂
Yeah, we have a couple of things set the next few days….you can sit back and relax too!
I only wrote these because I thought it gave Zardoz a break from Dear Prudence from time to time…
You inspired me to write some, so I did
Excellent. Pro tip: it helps if you semd the Glib editors a picture of your ass.
No!No!NO!
ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS BEER REVIEWING, MEXICAN CHOSEN ONE… DON’T THINK THAT ZARDOZ ISN’T GRATEFUL. BETWEEN THE LINKS, GRAIN DELIVERIES TO THE VORTEX AND MANAGING THE BRUTAL EXTERMINATORS – ZARDOZ NEEDS A BREAK ONCE IN A WHILE. GO FORTH AND REVIEW! ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.
Because you touch yourself at night?
Who doesn’t?

Wait what?
He’s saying that you need to stop touching him at night.
Oh, well that’s…unlikely.

TAKE ME HOOOOOOME
I’m OT my own article:
Anyone ever deep fry a rib roast? I’m hosting Xmas dinner *shudders* and I’m tired of turkey and tamales. Any tips, warnings, things I should avoid, etc that I can’t get from a bunch of rednecks on YouTube?
Paging Playa Manhattan, Playa Manhattan to the grease covered courtesy phone
How would you Fry something that thick?
Good Review as always MS, Merry Christmas!
You can, but I’d like to talk you out of it if possible.
It doesn’t handle like poultry.
Good. What’s different about it?
I’ve deep fried birds a few times, and IMO, properly done, it makes the (especially larger) birds better and much more juicy. It’s a lot of work and cleanup, but it can be worth it.
With Rib Roasts, deep frying is not going to make it any better. You’re starting out with a good piece of beef, and you can only make it worse. Plus, the margin of error between undercooked (fine by me) and well done (a crime against nature) is only a few minutes in oil at 375-400.
Assuming you do time it perfectly, it tastes less like beef, and more like vegetable oil, and has a bit of a greasy appearance. My best guess as to why that is…. beef fat emulsifies well with beef juice, and vegetable oil does not.
I remember watching a youtube video of some redneck doing a deep fry over a campfire with cast iron gear. I thought “holy shit, that looks amazing”. I followed the recipe to the exact detail. It came out a greasy, disgusting mess, and ruined a perfectly good cut of beef.
I’m using peanut oil. 3 mins/lbs at 350. Injecting rosemary, garlic, khosher salt peppercorns.
I’m only pulling out the fryer to make room for ham in the oven, so if I botch this I still have the ham and my deep fried turkey (something I’ve mastered) on deck.
It sounds like you’re much better at frying than I am, so you’ll probably get better results.
Pics when the time comes, plz.
I’ve deep fried maybe 5 or 6 rib roasts in the last 10 years. When you’re done with it, it doesn’t taste like prime rib.
They’re on Christmas sale right now, and I’ve already cooked 3 this week.
The best “creative” one so far (I’m doing a traditional one for Christmas Day) was the mustard and herb crusted one. Dijon mustard prep and herbs from provance. Coat the entire thing liberally, and blast it at 500F or greater for 15 minutes. There were no leftovers on a 4 bone roast.
I’ve already cooked 3 this week
Look at Mr money bags here. I had to choose between getting my kid a gift or prime rib. I am planning on the reverse sear starting in the smoker method. I just checked my amazon shipment and my Minors Au Jus will be here Tue. I ordered it last Tues. Two day shipping my ass. The rest of the order will be here today though. My new elf themed latex gimp suit and accessories. #Latexmas
“I had to choose between getting my kid a gift or prime rib.”
*goes on to describe prime rib*
Exactly
-Scrooged
I’m doing it to SAVE money.
USDA Choice Rib Roasts run anywhere from 12-18 bucks a pound here most of the year.
This week, they’re 4 bucks. I have to eat a years worth of Prime Rib in one week! It ain’t pretty on the way out, but it has to be done.
4 bucks? Ya, that has to be bought and eaten. I paid 8 bucks a lb.
“Minors Au Jus”
My work here is done.
Ya whatever. I have to delay drinking long enough tomorrow morning to drive to the store and get some better than bullion. I am out of Sherry and I will fail at staying sober before the liquor stores open so that is not an option. Sherry and drippings is my usual Au Jus.
Minors is great. Most people don’t know about it.
I do 2 giant prime ribs every year for extended family. My cousin is a professional chef, and she makes the au jus from scratch. Seared oxtail, herbs from her garden, etc etc.
I put the Minor’s right next to it, and guess which people prefer?
If you deep fry a rib roast you could probably shred it and spice it up after and make some good tamales.
I got this one…MS.
*narrows gaze*
Gracias.
Those would be some kick ass tamales though. There is a Tamale guy who does the farmers markets in Phoenix. That dude makes some good tamales. Tamales in the markets here suck in comparison.
I’ll have to look out for him. Theres a decent size ine by me every Sat but parking at that park sucks.
I’m not going to in-line link it because the image is too big, but my “snack” from yesterday:
https://glibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/IMG_2565-e1514054574148.jpg
I’m hard now.
Now?
Harder.
I’m thinking mostly in the arteries.
I’ve seen cattle hurt worse than that get well.
The wormlets living in the center of that cut barely got cozy-warm. I like rare but that’s basically tearing a chunk off and gnawing it while the animal suffers.
the good folks at NORAD track his every move. Even if they started tracking him by accident, its once again proof there is nothing left to cut.
I laughed…while sipping coffee.
*invests in Brawny*
I buy Kirkland paper towels, when I wipe things up I’m supporting the Kochtopus.
The perfect place for one of my old funny photoshops. Note, this is a made up conspiracy, though it may be true.
I’m currently stuck in the Panama City airport en route to Brazil. At least their national beer is decent.
I hope it’s Panama City, Panama, and not the one in Florida.
While you’re down there, go piss on John McCain’s birthplace for us.
It’s bonafide Panama. I could see the canal the Americans built 100 years ago while landing.
The Chinese Canal of Panama?
Save travels, bro. Merry Christmas.
Behold! ZardoZ! Scroll to the bottom,
http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2017/12/the-week-in-pictures-happy-tax-cut-edition.php
OK, the image is great…but the crack about someone liking Zardoz….that’s a CLEANSING!
The Branco one actually made me chuckle heartily.
Scrooge got soft. I don’t care about the Grinch. I think I’ll like this beer.
On this note, there is only one Christmas villian I do respect: Hans Grüber. He at least died for his cause.
That got an actual lol. I have not heard that name in years.
Maybe you should’ve gotten this for your kid instead of Prime Rib?
My kid is 22 and does not live at home. He gets gift cards. I gave up on gifts after the X box one I got him three or four years ago. That is like a four year gift credit there.
22 is the perfect age for that book. He’s too young to really appreciate the nostalgia and not young enough to find it adorable.
He’s in the sweet spot for spite gifting it.
Thanks for the suggestion, but it is $17. That is over the $4 limit for him.
Love Belgian Ales and like Rouge so will definitely have to try that! Here is another pretty good Christmas Ale.
https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/12516/45992/
These kegs also go pretty fast around here every year.
https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/73/1576/
Yeah…I got a couple of pints before the keg at my local got drained. Didn’t last long.
Samichlaus and, when I can get it, Mad Elf are my favorite Christmas beers.
The two you linked to look good.
Yeah, those do as well. Every beer you post is right up my alley. We pretty much have the same taste in beer. Troegs was at my local bar and grill for a keg tapping a while back. Scored a pretty sweet Nugget Nectar glass for free.
Nice!
Troegs makes some good stuff. I still haven’t tried their Nugget Nectar. Someone here, I think it was Nephilium, said he thought I’d like it despite my dislike of a lot of the newer hops and what American brewers do with them.
Give me a proper English IPA over an American IPA any day.
On another PA beer note, I like that Weyerbacher is now available in New Hampshire. Some of their one-offs and specials aren’t available here. I have to pick them up when I’m visiting family in Pennsylvania. I miss their Old Heathen.
Yeah, Weyerbacher makes great beer. My local pub gets their beers in on occasion. Luckily, their Ohio distributer is located here in Hilliard where I live. Well, technically, I’m Columbus, but mailing address and schools are Hillard.
Nugget Nectar is not that hoppy. There is enough caramelly malt to offset what’s there. I’m not a Hopster. I don’t like dandelion wine either. I’m weird like that.
Hey DEG, do you have any English IPAs you would recommend?
Remember that time Rogue put out a call for underpaid IT labor because their beer was just so sexy?
Ha…I do remember. I bet they had to quietly go back and make a real offer.
Wow. Take that job and shove it.
Holy shit…
So… How do you make your business work at all??
I got a decent Bonus, so We get to feast this year, Bevmo, , and fajitas for dinner, Maybe some racing later, YAY!
/ZardoZ is everywhere
I didn’t even get enrolled in the jelly of the month club this year. Christmas feast of ramen for us! (Just kidding, we’re having clam chowder and chicken enchiladas)
Not really off topic given the picture of Santa with a rifle: Anti–gun NH State Representative pleads guilty to assault.
State Rep. Katherine Rogers, D-Concord, pleaded guilty to assault and was sentenced on Friday in Concord District Court in connection with a confrontation last year with well-known gun-rights advocate Susan Olsen.
The misdemeanor charge stems from an exchange between Rogers and Olsen during a recount of ballots for a state Senate seat in November 2016. Rogers was charged in August.
Anti-gunners do seem to be incapable of peaceful disagreement.
“See, you have to outlaw guns…if I had one then, I would have shot the whole place up!!!!!”
I restate my law of guns and kids yet again:
If you don’t think you should, you’re right.
You fuck with Cindy Brady, and you fuck with all of us, bitch!
Nice pickup on the Susan Olsen!
Katherine Rogers looks like Edgar Winter.
At least the sister of Edgar and Johnny.
She’d make a great movie villain, that’s for sure. I wonder how many movies have an albino villain? Seems like a lot.
That’s not Santa with the gun, it’s Kenny Rogers.
No link to MadTV?
This must be what inspired Huffpo to go on safari. MadTV, but not Kenny Rogers.
This one is even MORE like the Huffpo safari must have been.
Damn, Santa’s thicc as fucc, fam.
Making eggnog and watching Christmas movies all day. Pajamas all day. Boubon, brandy, rum, eggs, sugar, heavy cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove , vanilla.
Can you make it to Gardena for ramen today?
I might not be able to go, but Jesse and some other jerks are going.
I didn’t get the invite. 🙁
That was it. This just came up about 30 minutes ago.
I’ll stay a homebody today. My wife was in Salt Lake City for work all week. Snuggle bunnies in pajamas on the sofa sounds like a good plan.
I’m not bringing you soup, which you were clearly about to ask for.
You got me there, bud.
This is what I WON’T be bringing you.
If you change your mind, 1pm.
There’s a reason for that.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/put_someone_on_blast
Is outing someone on social media a subset of that?
Speaking of Gardena, try Painter’s Tape for brunch. https://yelp.to/qTKq/g8jbrgJo7I
??
There’s so much good food in Gardena. It’s ridiculous.
You don’t like this AYCE BBQ? Go to the other one in the same parking lot!
IMHO the only worthwhile Christmas movies are It’s a Wonderful Life and Christmas Vacation.
Just finished It’s a Wonderful Life. Watched Die Hard last night. Will get to Die Hard 2 today. Gremlins. Christmas in Connecticut (Barbara Stanwyck hubba hubba). And some real stinkers along the way. We’re watching You Can’t Fight Christmas right now. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt7281472/
Christmas in CT, Its a Wonderful Life, Elf, The Holiday and Love Actually are my Xmas movies, along with a big serving of Hallmark/Lifetime movies.
What can I say? I have lowbrow tastes. Don’t really care for any of the Vacation movies, including Christmas Vacation. Die Hard isn’t easily available on streaming usually. Maybe Ernest Saves Christmas for the missus.
Maybe I’ll try making the Santaman’s Chimney, they say it’s the new pumpkin spice.

Hey Glibs leadership! Do you still accept donations? I’d like to give you a little holiday contribution to thank you for creating and maintaining this terrific site.
I looked all through the top links and can’t find anything. I don’t really need any of the Cafe Press stuff — I’d rather just give you the money directly.

Worth it.
Happy Xmas C. Thanks for the reminder, I will send in a bit as well.
Just a forewarning, we plan on spending all your donations on a Big Man Tyrone video. If you’re comfortable with that, donate away!
You have to love a Nigerian/American with a kick ass widows peak. At least I assume he is Nigerian. If not, no offense to big man Tyrone. If I had money I would donate, but I spent it on prime rib.
He’s from Cameroon.
Same thing. Just a bit more south and a bit more French. Cameroon has better pastries.
I wonder how much money that guy makes and how it compares to the average wage in his country.
In any case, I’ve got to give the dude major props for coming up with a stupidly simple idea and making bank from it.
Excellent alt-text on the Jack Daniel’s ladies.

Just in case you want to feel any older, in a few days, kids born this millennium — in 2000, won’t be kids anymore. They’ll be 18, old enough to vote, make contracts, and do just about anything in California except smoke tobacco or drink alcohol.
In other words:

I still remember that New Years. Parts of it, anyway. They sell the REAL Everclear in Nevada.
I was absolutely trashed an hour before sunset, and it went downhill from there. Our bail fund for that trip was woefully undercapitalized.
When I was in college in Arizona, I remember the California kids being so excited to have real Everclear. There would almost always be someone that wanted to take a shot of it; said individual would invariably be running to pray at the porcelain god 5 minutes later.
I live in Ohio where it’s banned (for the children, I’m sure) so I drove to Indiana one time to get a bottle of the full-strength stuff. My impression was that it’s worthless for anything other than getting extremely drunk very quickly, although I could see it being useful for making homemade cordials and flavored liqueurs. Nothing extracts flavor like alcohol.
It was used to make Jungle Juice back then. One giant cooler, two bottles of the stuff and an incredible amount of kool aid and sugar. Gets the girls hammered and ready for action. Beyond that, I can’t really see any purpose to it, other than like you said making homemade cordials (like we even knew what cordials were in college).
My best friend keeps a bottle for cleaning his (tobacco) pipes.
Or the inside of your distributor cap.
… Hobbit
It’s a good reminder that alcohol can kill you.
I’ve never gotten so drunk so quickly.
On a dare, I dove into a rosebush in front of the LVMPD briefing just off of the strip. I did not go to jail, in fact, I got some applause. Man, college was fun.
We drank it all of the time. It was legal in Ohio when I was in HS until some idiot minor in Cinncy died and f’d it up for everyone. We used to do flaming shots. At a party, some dude with a beard didn’t blow the shot out all of the way and spilled the flaming alcohol on his beard and it was momentarily on fire. We laughed our asses off.
I think I was at that party.
Did the beard ever grow back?
Oh yes. The beard was to Herb as the Jacket is to Nick. Herb Superb.
eg310=HerbSuperb?
Eg310 is definitely not Herb Superb. But I did attend many drunken riots in Columbus OH between 1987-1992. A good amount of them involved beards catching fire. Also, at leadt 3 pig skulls. And about 200 stolen bbq grills.
Yeah, I’m a touch older, you were picking up where I left off:)
It was in Grandview. My buddy chugged a huge glass of Harry Buffalo with well over half 190 and dropped flat on his face out cold a short time later at the same party. We babysat him until he came around. Prior to that he was walking around with sunglasses on saying he was the the Reverend Jim Jones and that his Harry Buffalo was Guyana punch.
Shots of it? Oh heavens no. Punch is the only way to go. The punch got me 48 hours in the slammer. Who knows how much time shots would have gotten me. On this christmas I thank sweet new born smelling of lavender and fresh manger straw baby jebus I did not kill anyone. 18 and 19 year olds are dumb as dog shit. At least I was.
I guarantee I would’ve given you a run for your money in the dumbass department back then:)
I was at a party when I was an undergrad where the host made a big batch of mulled wine. I was drinking it like it was water. At some point during the night, someone told me the host dumped a bottle of Everclear in the wine. I stopped drinking but the damage was done.
In Texas on a Saturday night, Everclear is added to the wine sometime
Everclear? We mix it with apple cider, and mason-jar it with cinnamon sticks. Ends up tasting like apple pie.
Ooooh, I have apple cider, vodka, and I think we have some cinnamon sticks as well! I just remembered I actually have some Apple Pie “moonshine”. I’ll use that instead of vodka.
Yes, that’s quite good. That’s going to warm me and the wife up:)
We even had the cinnamon sticks:)
Nice. What can I say? I’m an enabler.
Yeah, we’re drinking them pretty quick. I’m making some potato skins right now:)
I just heard this on a commercial, so I was already feeling pretty old. My wife, who is only 5 years younger, didn’t know what it was. Every night at the club.
https://youtu.be/17lkdqoLt44
Wha?!?
Next you’ll be telling me she don’t know about “Talking Out the Side of Your Neck“!

That is not drunk, that is K-hole
We were out for some errands and going to watch Darkest Hour and it was sold out. So we did the food shopping a couple of hours and early and returned home, drinking to commence shortly. Definitely a porter/stout day. Oh, and swordfish for dinner, probably with some baby red potatoes and broccoli.
I presume gary oldman gained 200 lbs and drank 3 bottles of scotch a day in preparation for the role
From the trailers he seems to have done another transformation. We may go see it in the next couple of days. Laughed with another couple, even older than us that wanted to see the showing that was sold-out – sure, we can go see a kid-movie but not the grown-up movie! Finished dinner, and clean-up – quite a bit early for us, but it is dark out. Swordfish is one of those only on occasions fish, much more common to have tuna, salmon or mahi-mahi. Broiled and it was quite tasty. Had a Polygamy porter with dinner, consuming a Victory at Sea now. Then maybe on to a Jameson Caskmate.
Sounds like a good day. ???

here’s how i spent the last 2 hours:
installing and uninstalling and reinstalling a piece of software 11 different times
sigh
I hate dealing with crap like that. Such a waste of time.
Not as long but Thursday afternoon I put the tire chains on one tire reversed. Had to take them off and flip them. Then after finally getting them on, realized I put both on upside down, which is why it look longer and more PITA than usual.
The latest Windows 10 update broke my NIC drivers. Updating and reinstalling helped nothing. Rolled back to the previous version of Windows and I’m golden again. Irritating.
my problem was similar. win 10 updates made og install no longer functional.
the company that makes said software (sony) no longer owns the product (sound forge), which they sold to some german co. (magix) who only supports it from the newest version on (11. I own 9).
yet the fucking stupid company (sony) still has this idiotic, multilayered online-activation for all its older versions.
which it doesn’t support anymore.
but still expects you to beg them for permission to use every time you need to reinstall it.
theory: i suppose ze germans might have said, “treat all your old customers like shit so they will upgrade to our version” and sony was like, “no prob bro”
Sound forge eh? i have a copy of SF6 around here somewhere….. Oh yeah on my W7 machine that just broke again, dang it!
there are half a zillion (often free) things that can do most of what it does, more or less
its just that i’ve spent ~20 years working w/ sf and utilize a lot of the extended features on a regular basis. (and know all the quick-keys without thinking) the idea of starting over w/ some other platform irritates me.
I use FL10 and Sonar8.5 PE, programs that started almost 20 years ago, Mostly because of familiarity, I dig where you at

Meh that’s as much a Xmas song as Die Hard is an Xmas movie, might as well listen toXmas Card from a hooker in Minneapolis And I think I will. Now where’d I put that pork pie hat?
