A Gnome’s Visit to the Chicago Distilling Company…in Pictures

Posted on January 23, 2014 by Rubber

If you want to read a legit review of the Chicago Distilling Company, head over to our buddy’s blog, www.alyssavnature.com. We gnomes tagged along for the adventure, but as you can expect, we were too tipsy to take any notes or remember anything that the tour guide said.

I think it’s safe to assume that the whiskey and vodka were delicious.

Without further ado, I present you with A Gnome’s Visit to the Chicago Distilling Company…in Pictures:

Thank goodness for photographic evidence, right? Ahhh virtual memories.

Cheers gnomies, and happy thirsty Thursday!

Oakshire Brewing’s “Ill Tempered Gnome” Winter Ale

Posted on January 5, 2014 by Pablo

Here at The Drunk Gnome, we LOVE discovering new gnome-inspired brews!

We recently stumbled upon “The Ill Tempered Gnome,” a winter ale from Eugene-Oregon-based Oakshire Brewing Company.

For our fellow brew nerds, here are the stats:

STYLE: American Brown Ale
OG: 15.5 Plato
IBU: 65
ABV: 6.8%

AVAILABILITY: Winter Seasonal
FORMAT: Draft & 22 oz. bottles

FOOD PAIRINGS: Roast Pork, Grilled Sausages, smoked salmon, aged gouda, mild blue, burgers, bread pudding

We have yet to try the brew, but we’re hoping to find it in our local grocery store soon. If not, we are fully prepared to take a road trip out to Oregon.

In the meantime, here’s a brew review from the Daily Emerald’s Samuel Wendel: “Though it does retain some of the spice common to autumn beers, Oakshire complements the spice with a nice malty presence, and a subtle hoppiness that brings to mind the smell of pine. Its finish is smooth, and at 6.8 percent alcohol by volume, it shouldn’t take more than one or two to warm you up on a cold winter night. Ill-tempered Gnome is well worth a try, and should be available in most grocery stores.”

Have you tried the ill tempered gnome? What’s pissing him off so badly?

Thirstily yours,
Pablo the gnome
