A new place opened up recently. I wish they sold their glassware.

At first I thought the image might be Waylon Jennings but I believe it's supposed to be the company founder back in ~1953.

Cheers! I hope all enjoyed the American Thanksgiving Holiday or enjoyed their Thursday.

The agreed upon electronic media ban yesterday at our house was followed by my wife and I and all our guests. Enjoyable to see people conversing. I opened cookbooks that I have not touched for a long time to confirm cook temps and times. I had put out on a consul table a couple of dictionaries that folks actually used. It can be done. A discussion of whether to turn on the TV's in the house ended with the decision to have only one with football and the others playing DVD movies. Our choices of "oldster" (40's ganster and noir movies) and a couple old cowboy movies were a hit with our 10 guests. Fun, we will definitely do this again. To a person our guests said they would like to do the same. We are back to using media this morning.

Yesterday a Dangerous Man pilsner, a Founders KBS in the evening and of course coffee in the morning.

I took no pics of the whiskey tasting by the fire pit. I took out only 3 bottles (Wee Beastie, Macallan 12 and Four Roses (single barrel). I provided cordial and cairn glasses so folks could sample away. Two other bottles were provided by guests (Johnny Walker Black and a Green Spot). I thought it was a fun way to share the moment and some whiskey.

Cheers, Eric -

Now that its in the 20's in Nashville, time to pull the old flask out of the cabinet and fill up with some single-malt. I missed out on a couple of small vintage sterling flasks, so I went in this direction... glass, faux alligator (I think), and a tin cup. My kid-in-law is still dragging me out to fish, so it'll be getting some use.

The brewery is in Raleigh. If I ever get over there, maybe I’ll pick one up for you.

Thanks! I found some on eBay. Will probably pick up a pair from there.

VS whiskey and Kilbeggan small batch rye Irish whiskey. At this price point, this ain’t bad at all.

Serenading my neighbors covering some Chris Ledoux. After about the thirteenth encore they expressed their appreciation with some celebratory ***fire.

Surprised it wasn’t “This cowboy’s hat”.

Surprised it wasn’t “This cowboy’s hat”.

The Call of the Wild has a great acoustic version. The lyrics speak to me, & my dog does the wolf howl; she just doesn't know when to quit.

Used to play an acoustic version of The Walk

But not anymore.

Yesterday I imbibed a couple of Founders All Day IPA's roasting a pork shoulder (without bone).

I got up early morning, 4:00am and started the grill with oak (limbs that fell last year in the yard). I set an alarm that had me checking every 45min. By 8:00am I took the roast off the fire and let it rest on the cutting block. 9:00 breakfast was delicious. Fall apart pork (Rosemary and salt spices only) was a treat all day. Heck my wife even rose early to the smells and had an "early breakfast."

Back to drink - the Founders Beer held taste during the fatigue I felt being summoned by the alarm. The taste of hops and in general beer taste was not dimmed at all drinking the All Day IPA. It did not get to be "too much, or too less." It even stayed refreshing and quenching when pulled from the frig were I stored partial glasses when I napped or walked away from the grilling. These characteristics make it a staple IPA in my beer frig.

It did get me contemplating having smaller cans of beer for just these kind of moments. Hmmmm.

Cheers, Eric -
