PrintIf the new section on the left-side menu didn't give it away then the fancy branding does. We've got ourselves another new sponsor/running feature here on Battle Red Blog.
SB Nation has teamed up with Captain Morgan's to drum up some tailgating talk once a week in hopes that you'll buy more rum to help make Sundays much easier learn something that'll make you the "Captain of the Tailgate." With the Houston tailgaters regularly being called the best or among the top-five in the NFL, what better blog to do that on than BRB? None, I tell ya.
Whether it be at Reliant, or something else, let us know what you bring to eat, drink and play with as you await your team's game. The topics we will hit weekly will be:
- The Best Food
- The Best Drinks
- The Best Festivities
- The Best Gear
- The Best Gadgets
This week let's talk the "Best Drinks" category. I'm a beer and rum-and-coke guy when it comes to tailgating drinks. Why those? Rum-and coke because I can easily pour rum right into the bottle of coke, and beer is delicious.
What do you do? Also, Marisa Miller's after the jump...seriously.
And now...Marisa Miller sword-fights for you.

You had me at "Marisa Miller"

The opinions of Brad Wells (BigBlueShoe) do NOT speak for all Colts fans. Most Colts fans are well informed fans and good-hearted people. Most Colts fans are not egotistical douchebags.
This has been a public service announcement.

That could have been better executed.
As in, you’ve got a sword fight going on… Shouldn’t garments be slashed off?

Or they started fighting in the water
Shouldn’t she have gotten a lot more water on her than that?

Well, my favorite drink is the Adios Mother Fucker
1/2 part Vodka
1/2 part Gin
1/2 part Light Rum
1/2 part Silver Tequila
1 part Blue Curacao
2 parts Sweet & Sour
Place all ingredients on ice in a cocktail shaker, shake & strain, 2 choices here, either on the rocks or in a double shot & down it in one glup
I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but you appear to be unarmed.
mmmmmm

Also, if you're looking to be cheap
Replace the vodka, gun, rum, & tequila with 2 parts of Barton’s Long Island Ice Tea Mix

I'm sure we can rustle up a few BRB Koozies
For the right price.
Heard a great sig line quote from Tim at a tailgate and can't remember it.
Another is my Bleach Alternative
2 shots UV Grape Vodka
4 oz. Drank (legal version in a can)
Place ingredients in a cup, stir & add ice. Take no more than 4 of these in a 24 hour period. You might not get drunk, you’d probably fall asleep before that happens, perfect for those depressing blowout losses.

Mixed drinks suck.
I’ll take a Glenlivet or Glenfiddich. Any one of the Glens.
I'll eliminate you like I eliminate gluten from my diet.

Again, this is my Bleach Alternative
However add more Vodka to your taste depending on how depressed you feel & the amount of bleach you’re replacing

Real men take their bleach
And like it!

I don't need my mind bleached clean
I only need to relax after depressing losses & sleep the anguish off. Taking bleach is just avoiding your pain. Real men deal with it & learn from it, not erase it from memory

I'd swordfight with Marissa Miller
I’d figure out a way.
A Texans fan. Really. No, I'm not kidding.

Vodka
Either on the rocks with some lime, or mixed with sweet tea or club soda.
Speaking of, I have a vodka recommendation in the mid-range price: Monopolowa. It’s a potato vodka from Poland. Muy bueno. (That’s Spanish for whatever “very good” is in Polish.)

Good stuff

What the hell is Costco?
I thought it was some fictional store on Idiocracy. Those actually exist?? Never seen them around here.

This time of year...
Oktoberfest Beer
Shiner, St. Arnolds, Real Ale, Magic Hat…..the brand doesn’t matter. Just so long as it says Oktoberfest on the bottle.
Next month, I switch to Shiner Black. Until Spring.

The one from Real Ale is right up there
I was pleasantly surprised by that

I do enjoy my morning,
bloody mary’s… and to comment on the commercial, she left his ass to drown instead of just stickin it to him!!! i dont wish to be that guy, I want to be the captain coming up from her rear… yeah!
I heard Brian Cushing like to do it with girls in a really uncomfortable place and i am not talking about the back seat of a Volkswagen
Go Texans!
I know this is sponsored by the captain...
But I’ve gotta put in a plug for Flor de Caña. Got hooked on the stuff living in Nicaragua when it was about $5 for a liter of 7-year deliciousness, but Costco sells bigger bottles for a reasonable price in the US. You can mix this stuff at great ratios for quick inebriation, and it still goes down smooth. Highly recommended.
Right now for me though, looks like it’s gonna be Rye-based old-fashioneds. I’ve found a $13 bottle of rye whiskey at a nearby liquor store, so unless I go blind, this’ll be the ticket for the next game or two. Show me what you’ve got, Old Overholt.
Stemp's Home Brew during the tailgate
Small bottles of Maker’s Mark smuggled into Reliant and mixed with an overpriced Coke for a delicious change of pace.
Heard a great sig line quote from Tim at a tailgate and can't remember it.
Bloody Mary's to start when we arrive at Reliant
Then grill up some good meat before heading into the game. Then it’s (smuggled) Captain or Maker’s on ice (and sometimes with a pricey coke) the rest of the way….
We usually stick around after they win until they throw us out of close the club, then we go hit a restaurant for an early dinner and watch the afternoon game.

Oh, I've also been rating several microbrewery beers lately.
My local Korean grocer has one hell of a beer selection. Two top the list so far: Dogfish Head IPA (tried another of theirs, Pumpkin related, and it wasn’t as good), and Lagunitas IPA (a bit sweet, but pretty delicious).
Of course, when I’m dealing with the Texans, my goal is generally to get stinkin’ drunk, which means cheaper beer is in order. However, a sixer of these bad boys is a nice start.
If you are in San Antonio,
please go to Gabriel’s superstore at 1604 & Blanco. A liquor store the size of a Walmart containing a nice humidor, and basically every micro brew that’s available for sale in Texas and tons of imports, it has an excellent selection for every occasion, from celebration to bleach guzzling.
If you are out try something different, look for Golden Monkey by Victory Brewing Company. Delicious.
