Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

[Hurricane Jack]

Jeppson’s does have a bourbon, which I have not had, but I think your mixing brands.
Jeppson’s Malort was distilled in Florida since the 70’s and just recently bought by CH distillers and brought back to Chicago, where it started.

You're correct, I was only thinking of the bourbon. Heaven Hill in Louisville does a lot of private label bourbons.

And on an unrelated note…. Only to my Guinness glass is this…. Two things that really don’t seem to have any relation to each other…

Home from a working weekend and I took a walkabout in the snow sipping a Guinness. Ahhhh!

After a charcuterie plate with my wife I went out to sip some Arbeg Wee Beastie.

Cheers, Eric -

Wonderful chocolate smell to the nose. But on to flavor… could it really taste like Chocolate Lava cake beer? As is sipped it I thought certainly not…. But after resting on the tongue a moment and breathing a bit.. I’ll be damned. That taste like chocolate cake! Wow!

I have a couple of those in my beer fridge. They are amazing!

That is a lot of spirit! (Pun intended.)

I have picked up a couple Ardbeg 10's for gifts to those whiskey drinkers in my immediate family. It tok some real reserve not to pick-up whiskey for myself.

The reviews make this a whiskey to definitely try. Cheers sir.


Home this evening on a walkabout sipping a Founders Breakfast Stout. This beer I like when I can slow sip it. I enjoy the thick and tasty beer. Bitter and yet rich is exactly what I desired tonight.

I am enjoying my walkabout tonight.

Got the email on the flash sale; order by tomorrow 12/15, pick up order on Sat 12/18. Was going out anyway so thought I would stop in hoping for a sample; no such luck. If I was in the mood to pay that kind of money without even a sample I would spend it on a 20-25 yr old Scotch.

The reviews make this a whiskey to definitely try. Cheers sir.

Peaty but not smoky. I actually preferred the NAS Connemara Original over the 12. Probably won't buy either again.

Wreck the Halls Double IPA from Full Sail Brewing fit the bill after a long day at work today. With my Knox Premier.

 

[Snowman]

Highland Brewing Rustic Ridge IPA and Resistol San Antonio for an unseasonably warm evening.

Hats and drinks - oh yes!

Yesterday I got home from work escapades and treated myself to a Guinness Draft during a walkabout. The fading sunlight, new snow and watching my dog frolic in the brush was just relaxing.

As the sunlight disappeared I went out and sipped a Omni Brewing pilsner and watched as our neighborhood predators had dinner. My wife and I shared some seafood ramen and after watched an episode of Yellowstone. We shared some Macallan 12. No pics as we were busy watching and conversing.

Just a bit ago I started charcoal in the grill to slow roast a pork shoulder roast. My sous chef was a Founders KBS.

Cheers, Eric -

Long hair black heather Champ with Sierra Nevada Celebration Fresh Hop IPA…. Not a bad tasting beer.

I haven't mastered the drink/hat selfie of @Short Balding Guy but tonight I enjoyed a Pillowfist Hazy IPA from Old Town Brewing. Loving my 3x Stetson stingy brim.

HH @ GC under a Navy blue VS. the bright overhead lights make it photograph gray. Before I left I filled a couple growlers to help get thru the holiday shutdown.

A couple of 2-Pulls.

A recently tapped Vanilla Porter. A couple big mugs are just fine, anymore than two is too much vanilla for me.

Back home for one more 2-Pull from a growler.

Light brown Playboy, marinated pork belly taco, and an Exile Nutter nut brown ale. Opted for a single taco and two beers.

Love the hat and the beer sounds great, but I’ve never seen a taco like that. Certainly not here in Japan and not in New Zealand, either. Looks like great, messy eating!

How is that? I was looking at it last week and went another way.
