Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

[dh66]

Nancy's sister-in-law is from Oaxaca, and she brought a bunch of these on a fishing trip over Memorial Day. In spite of several warnings from the Americans in the group, I had to try the stuff...mainly because by the end of the evening it's all that was left. In all fairness, the orange flavor was pretty gross, but I liked the pineapple/chili kind enough that I bought some more of it when I saw it at the gas station on the way home from work today.

It might work good for a marinade for chicken breast/pieces before you cook it on the grill.

Don't buy these to drink but the tequila lime Rita is good for a chicken marinade also. They have all kinds of flavors but the Rita is the only one I’ve used.

A day spent under a Worth - Walden, first for a caffeine run,

Then to pick up a liquor order & set up an old toy box for a tequila & rum minibar. I’m going to steal the name an old business friend painted on his restored Chris Craft cruiser on Lake of the Ozark’s yrs ago: “Gettin’ Ship Faced”

Finally time for HH.

I enjoyed hoppy brews this past week.

Tonight I enjoyed a Founders Porter.

Sorry, no hat to show, but I felt the need to post this whisky we cracked open tonight. Scarabus. It’s as light a coloured whisky as I’ve had, but it doesn’t skimp on flavour. The briny aroma had me thinking of a Talisker, but both Etsuko and I put this Islay a level or two above Talisker. Smoky on the palette with a nice sweet finish. This is one we’ll purchase again…in fact I have two bottles sitting in my Amazon shopping cart right now.

And another new one for us. The Benromach 10 doesn’t have the maritime punch on the nose, but has a liquorice note that appeals to me. Less so to Etsuko. We both agree that it’s nice, but me more so. We also both agree that the Scarabus rates higher.

Chesney’s Blue Chair Bay Coconut Spiced Rum Cream.

I have been busy this morning.

Coffee, a Guinness for breakfast and a Surley pilsner for celebrating getting though my yard "To Do List."

Resistol Tycoon and Eazzy Lager by Ardent Brewery of Richmond, VA.

Happy Fathers Day!

 

[Hurricane Jack]

An afternoon spent with friends drinking imports under a Resistol 3X with hand felted edge.

Followed by an evening at home with some Tequila Ocho Plata & a shot of Key Lime Cream Rum back.

We went to a local brew pub this afternoon, I had their Iowa Bar Fight IPA. Just a few sprinkles on my Stetson Weekender.

 

[Short Balding Guy]

Yesterday and tonight I have enjoyed imbibing Surley Supreme Pilsner. It is a superb warm weather beer.

Cheers, Eric. -

Another bastardly 1950’s - 1960’s Stetson One-hundred. And a Negra Modelo. What was I thinking? Love the lighting in these pics.

I'm very jealous fellas, Doc shut me off. I occasionally look longingly at what I haven't yet given away of my collection of Single Malts, but can't touch.
Have one for me!
Cheers!!

Sorry to hear of this Dave. Follow your doctors orders. My best to you & your family.

74 degrees on the deck this evening, my new Panama, and a nice cold What Rough Beast Hazy IPA from Breakside Brewing. The simple pleasures.

 

[Hurricane Jack]

Heat & humidity brought out the hemp OR & a few German Hefeweizens.

 

[Hurricane Jack]

TGIFHH brought forth a few Dos Equis Lagers to wash down some Chori Pollo. Then home to open a new bottle of El Tesoro Blanco Tequila, all under a Ritch Rand Tom Horn 8X.

The El Tesoro Blanco is fermented with the agave chunks & fibers from the cooked agave being crushed in the ways of the old using a pulled Tahona instead of a roller mill. It rates a panel score of 87.

 

[Short Balding Guy]

The last few days I have imbibed Founders All Day IPA, Surley Supreme and Volcanica Costa Rican single source coffee.

Cheers, Eric -

 

[Short Balding Guy]

This aftrenoon and early evening I have been fortunate to enjoy a Surley Pilsner and a Guinness Draft.

Cheers, Eric -
