Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

[The Shoe]

Continuing our gradual exploration of bourbons with Woodford Reserve. I read some tasting notes to Etsuko and she was keen to try it. She’s given it her stamp of approval. Floral notes stood out for me. Very pleasant. Today’s hat was my Fed IV.

Nice enough today to do a little early season yard work and then enjoy an Eagle Cap IPA this evening. Wearing my Playboy again today.

Thank you the scenery is hard to beat, it's a very beautiful area, just out of frame is Mount Hood.

Mount Hood means nothing to me…I’ll Google it. I was just looking at your picture and imagining myself there with beer in hand and ribs on the barbecue.

Google says Mt. Hood is nice. Judging by the photos it showed me, I tend to agree!

Is an impressive mountain as it stands much higher than everything around it. We are also blessed with more good breweries than you can shake a stick at.

Good morning. Yesterday I enjoyed a Surley IPA on a walkabout when I got home from work. Early evening I finished the last drops of the bottle of Arbeg Wee Beastie before my wife got home in the evening. She asked if I would join her with a dram of Ardbeg Ten. Who can refuse such a kind offer?

This morning I have started a roast slow cooking on a wood grill. A Guinness seemed appropriate for my outside task.

Cheers, Eric -

Woodford is a staple for me. If you can get the double oaked, it has a richness and depth that have made it a favorite of mine.

I’ll keep an eye out.

Another bourbon and again, very enjoyable. I put today’s hat back on for the photo in me jammies.

Love that Optimo!

Love that Optimo!

What is most amazing about them are the brims. Truly fine hats! I don’t own a Cody Wellema but there may be nothing modern made to compare to an Optimo.
