Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip Recipe
If you are hosting a sporting event my Killer Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip is a Must make! Here is the "Scoop". Lets start with a trip to the Piggly Wiggly, AKA local grocery store to get the following:
- 1 pkg. (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 2 ounces)
- 1/2 cup blue cheese salad dressing or ranch salad dressing
- 1 Package Purdue Pre-cooked/Sliced Chicken Breast
- 1/2 cup any flavor FRANK'S RedHot sauce or Texas Pete's
- Tortilla Chips and optional Sliced Carrots/Celery Sticks
Directions:
Heat the oven to 350° F.
Stir the cream cheese in a 9-inch deep dish pie plate with a fork or whisk until it's smooth.
Stir in the dressing, pepper sauce and blue cheese. Stir in the chicken.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken mixture is hot and bubbling.
Stir before serving and Serve with the vegetables and Tortilla Chips for dipping.
Double the Batch if you are having more than a couch-full over! Enjoy!
White Sangria Recipe
This is the Special Killer White Sangria Recipe aka LPR. This is a great weekend or party drink, as most places do not serve the white version....OH YEAAHH! Ok here are the basic ingrediants needed:
- 2 Bottles Dry White Wine (750ml each)
- 1 1/2 Cups Brandy (peach, berry)
- 2 lemons
- 2 limes
- 1 1/2 Cups Sugar
- 2 Bottles Club Soda (1 liter each)
Combine wine and brandy at room temperature with sugar, mixing until sugar is disolved...preferably in a big pitcher. Chill the mixture. Slice lemons and limes into half's, safe a few for the Coronas! When wine mix is chilled, add chilled club soda, fruit, and drink the gallon of LPR you just made.
Now on batch #3 aka Late Night Special, I usually start to change up the recipe adding anthing I can find in the bar area such as:
- 2 Cans of Redbull or Monster Energy
- 1/2 Vodka
- Sub Mickeys or Breath Mints for the Fruit...just kidding.
Football Tailgate 101: The Wizard Staff
Have you ever gone to a tailgate, and wondered: "How many Beers have I drank?" or "Did that guy Grayson drink too much to drive us 5 hours home to the WoodShed?". Well now we have a game-like answer, The Wizard Staff! The game that relies on house rules, but the bare essence of it is that you assemble several hundred canned beers, and as you finish one off, you duct tape a new one to the top of your old ones until you have created a Wizard Staff of cans. So here are some of the official Rules that we found on the internet.....so you know they are legit.
Are you still confused, well here are some pictures of Actual Wizards:

So, yes all you need to be a Grand Wizard is Duct Tape, A complete Day to Waste, and a bunch of Bud Fosters! This game is almost as main stream as Edward 40 Hands. Note to self, throw out Wizard Staff before driving home next time.
Please God, Thor, Bud Foster…beat UVA
It’s Friday night in San Francisco. My feet hurt, my liver hurts, my belly hurts from all the sourdough sandwiches. My chest really hurts where Tina decided to test her jump kick skills...guess what, they are good. We'll deal with the cracked rib Monday. But none of that compares to the pain of last night's loss to UNC. Instead of criticizing every aspect of our team, here's a great example of why I love being a HOKIE.
After my last drunk blog on here, I asked where to watch the game in San Francisco on Techsideline's message board. Someone replied with "the Bus Stop." Tina and I did not expect much, but to our surprise we met Hans and Jim, who decorated the back room of the bar w/ HOKIE flags and VT memorabilia. There were about 30 HOKIES that showed up, turning the bar into our own version of TOTS. Incredible, it made me very proud of our fans.
Right after the RW fumble, something hit Tina and I like a brick wall. It was an extremely, pungent odor...most likely the flatulence produced by someone after a full night of drinking. Tina immediately blamed me. I denied it, but she claimed it smelled just like one of mine and RAN to the other side of the bar. After she left, I asked Jim if he did something. He immediately confessed and apologized for his error in judgement.
After watching us lose again, I realized that Jim's great big fart is a metaphor for our entire team (and not just because we stink). The familiar stench of Jim's fart is much like the traits we've seen each year for the HOKIES...offensive line problems, poor coaching decisions, offensive struggles, missed tackles, inability to kick the damn field goal, etc. The one difference is that Jim confessed to his debacle, while our coaches babble about being "one block away" from the big play. Beamer, a little advice: be like Jim and take responsibility for your mistakes. The beer farts are getting really old.
I still love our squad as much as I love sandwiches. It’s a shame we are doing so bad with so much talent. Please God, Thor, Bud Foster…beat UVA. That is all.
Thursday: Drop, Drop, Drop some knowledge on you!
It's time we at beershots began using our popularity for good causes. After all, with readership now in the high single digits, we sit in a position to play a major role in the community. So this week, we bring you an educational post. The topic of today's lesson, Thursday Nights.
From Webster's: Thursday (thûrz'dē, -dā'): 1. The fifth day of the week 2. A day for being a badass and tailgating for 8 hours 3. The only night where you are legally required to stand during the entire game
Thursday is the fifth day in the week and, like most other days, its name comes from Norse mythology. Thursday is the day named after Thor. The dude was the bearded god of thunder who lives in a freakin' volcanic mountain and hammers out lightning with his magic hammer. Sound familiar? That's right kids, he's Bud Foster's dad. Bud has all of Thor's powers, plus the ability to make QBs cry and also he can do this. Thor could never do that. Suck it Dad.
Thursday night's in Lane are badass. We all know that. But why are they so badass? Well, I'm glad you asked:
1. Enter Sandman. This entrance should send chills down the spine of visting fans. Especially when those fans come from basketball schools. We like UNC fans, but they are soft when it comes to gameday. They know this and the diehards are trying to fix it, but they've never seen anything like what our stadium should look like for the entrance. To be honest folks, we as fans haven't been as loud as we should lately for the intro. It's still better than any other entrance out there, but the yelling and jumping have gotten a bit soft. So, to remedy that, Frank Beamer has come up with an ingenious plan. We have heard that punter Brent Bowden will be playing Enter Sandman for the crowd. Whether it's live or on the jumbotron, we are not sure. But either way it's awesome. You know your team is tough when your punter is playing heavy metal to intro your team. The only thing that could be better is if on the final note he blows the speakers Back To The Future style so that we finally have to replace that PA system.
2. Mohawks: Tyrod has one. I said I'd get one if we won out, but GT ruined that, so none for my mishapen head. But Tyrod's is awesome. Hopefully it will play like it did in the last 23 minutes of the GT game and the first 23 of the BC game.
3. Speling misstakes: There's plenty here, but this isnt a spelling lesson so have a Bud Foster and relax
4. Bud Fosters: Just to drive home the point, click here. I'll stop when Bud gets an endorsement contract with Anheuser Busch
5. 4 day weekend: We schedule Thurs and Fri off every year when the schedule comes out. Working on the Thursday of a game is sacriledge. The Goateed Son of Thor demands you dedicate this day to him and help rattle opposing quarterbacks. If TJ Yates has any time outs left after the first quarter, then we have failed Thor Child. Thor Child does not tolerate failure. So taking off Thursday is a must, but honestly, if you can work Friday, then you didnt tailgate enough. Which brings us to...
6. All day tailgate on a weekday: All your non-Hokie friends are hanging out at their desks, putting covers on TPS reports. But not you. No, you took a day honor all that is right in this world: beers, burgers, TOTS, Sycamore Deli, fall colors, 8 foot Hokies Birds, and vans that look like lunchpails. It feels so wrong it has to be right. It's almost like playing hooky from school, only instead of watching the people play Plinko with Bob Barker you play cornhole with a guy who looks like Bob Barker. Which is way better anyway.
Tailgate hard, yell loud, and don't go to work on Friday. See you in Blacksburg!
This weekend it was Wine Touring…and to my Surprise some BeerShots!

This weekend it was Wine Touring…and to my Surprise some BeerShots! Nothing spells fall like Changing Leaves and a Wine tour through Upstate, NY. Usually it is going to a few high class wineries, where polo sweaters and baby stroller talk are the norm.
Well this weekend at 3 Brother’s Winery I was in for a Surprise. 3 Brothers not only has a winery, but a Beer tasting Section called War Horse. Thier specilty is a blended pure NY Riesling American wheat beer. I took down about 4 Beershots of this potion myself.
They also have a Dive Wine Bar called Rogue’s Hollow. What do they server to eat here? Nacho plates. Needless to say, my views on Wine Tasting have changed.
