Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

[Hurricane Jack]

A Founders All Day IPA was an excellent beer to enjoy outside yesterday evening.

Eric, you would probably enjoy Founders Green Zebra as a summertime ale.

Tomorrow June 1st is the beginning of the 4th annual Show-Me Craft Beer Month by the Missouri Craft Brewers Guild. June 26th will be the 4th annual Missouri Pint Day. Drink ‘em if you got ‘em!

Jack I have asked my local shop to take of delivery of the Zebra and other seasonal s. I guaranteed the shop that if they did not sell I would purchase them. We shall see if the distributor can come through.


Tonight it is pouring rain outside. I am tired and a bit under the weather. I say a wee bit of Laphroaig Quarter Cask will chase the flu away. This is only my second bottle of this offering. This Laphroaig I do like. I have not gotten after this Islay whiskey. Tonight the smokey is perfect. I poured a small bit for my wife. She does not ask why I am wearing a hat when I am enjoying the whiskey. I do wear a brim or peak when I imbibe.

I felt the need for a bit of warmth and a lighter beverage before an early bedtime tonight. Miso soup and Pho broth I combined. I added fermented bean curd and small squares of nori. I chose a light English Ale to accompany my "dinner."

Cheers, Eric -

Excellent taste in whisky

Thanks. I am already feeling warm and will head for bed shortly. I start an early working weekend and the food/refreshment/sleep should steed me well.

Luck is mine. My wife enjoys the smoky whiskeys. Her preference is more of an Ardbeg style, but will sit through sharing some Laphroaig.

Enjoy your evening sir.

On this first day of Missouri Craft Brewers Guild month I was introduced to Jazzman, a dark Lager @ 5% ABV brewed by Vine Street Brewing, KCMO. A first for me, enjoyed at a nice bar I hadn’t been to in several yrs, I will likely become a regular again. Smooth thin Lager mouth feel with tastes of nuts & roasted malts. Cereal grains & just a touch of bitterness from the hops. No coffee or chocolate tastes, not a Stout. Enjoyed my day under a OR RD.

Now time for a digestif dram of Lagavulin 11 Offerman Edition, Charred Oak Cask.

Yesterday evening and this morning I enjoyed Surlet Brewing Pilsners.

@Hurricane Jack, @Short Balding Guy, I’m always amazed at your discipline with photo taking of your hats and drinks. I neglect to get pictures more often than not. But I always try to get a shot when I try something new or different.
Yesterday’s beer was a Lithuanian “Hoptomist” rich lager.
I decided to try this, having enjoyed the last Lithuanian beer I bought. Not quite as nice as the last one, but still very tasty. Darker and stronger tasting than any lager I recall drinking.

Akubra Capricorn was my hat choice yesterday.
