Lucky you! Us left coasters, are still 3 hours behind you. Don't you guys in Taxachussetts still have Sunday, "Blue Laws"? You probably need to get Ren's special NH moonshine. Make my moonshine, "stirred, not shaken".

 

[Nathan Flowers]

Here in my county in SC, we still have "blue laws", so selling alcohol is illegal unless you're in a private club. As this is a private club, I think I'll have a highball of Bushmills 16 year, neat.

 

[Chamorro]

I'll take a Rob Roy.

 

[Dalexs]

Not only do we have Blue laws, but they are lousy Blue Laws at that. While some states can't sell before noon, or you can only by beer & wine in supermarkets... We have both plus!

No liquor sales on sundays, AND alcohol purchased from liquor stores ONLY!

Thank god for the lounge!

blue laws make one blue

Hey Dalex, that will teach you for leaving good old Oregon. The only blue thing here is the economy, it's about as blue as something can be. But at least we can buy a beer whenever we want.

Fedoralover,

I have to admit, running down to the 711 on a sunday night and buying craft microbrew beer is the one thing I really miss about the pacific North Wet!

DALEX,
I had the occasion to be in Boston over 25 years ago, but have never had the opportunity to go back. I would love the history of the place and the old buildings and such more now than then. Are you gone for good or might you be back someday?

At this point, we're here in Boston for the duration.
But who knows where the sands of time will take us in the future.

Bosotn is the only place my wife and I have ever really decided we wanted to settle down in so far. So, we'll see.

And as always, I have an open invitation to all passing thru town to get in touch so that I may offer up some yankee hospitality
(oops, I shouldn't say that too loud, the Red Sox just got into the wildcard slot for the playoffs...)

 

[Minnesota_Jones]

I think I'll join you all here with a White Russian for starters.....

Being a student at university, one is afforded the opportunity to sample many different beverages. The most potent of these I have ever had the 'pleasure' of sampling is Chartreuse. Has anyone else ever heard of this before?

Ken

PS - This drink Chartreuse was apparantly created by the Chartreuse monks - whats with monks inventing all these alcoholic drinks?!

 

[Captain America]

Hello All,

MK the new place looks great!

And as long as we're talking drinks, I'll have a Scotch and coke, please.

Isn't that a COLOR, not a drink? I think those monks are in need of a little R&R.

I would take you up on your offer...

... but for the past week I've been fighting what can only be the flu.

I dont know - it is actually known as "Green chartreuse" on the bottle (and funny enough, by its hue). Found this on the net about it:

Green Chartreuse
The Green Chartreuse is the only green liqueur in the world with a completely natural colour. It is powerful and different. Only three brothers know the names of the 130 plants and how to blend and to distill them. They are also the only ones who know which plants they have to macerate to produce the green and yellow colours. And they alone supervise the low aging in oak casks. The ingredients found in the Green Chartreuse are alcohol, sugar, 130 plants and flowers. Alcohol content : 55% (110?Ǭ? proof US)

Not for the faint hearted (or weak stomached) I warn you.

Hey I may live in Scotland, but I'm Irish

[MK]

Oh yeah? Well what would an Irishman from Scotland know about a real drink anyway!?

 

[Ken]

Find somewhere in CA that sells Green Chartreuse and I will show you
