    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    The Scotch It seems I neglected to take a picture of the Irish. There were plenty of them. Overall, probably the best selection I’ve seen in Japan. Most were reasonably priced, others were cheaper on Amazon.

    More tastings (I’m on summer vacation, after all)… The Pécsi Sör Prémium Brown for me…”Dark, medium-bodied lager with aromas of chocolate, coffee beans and toffee complemented by malt sweetness and moderate bitterness, brewed by decoction mashing.” I enjoyed this one a lot. A Lithuanian...

    What are you listening to?

    I knew a few Jimmy Reed songs, but hadn’t really heard much of him. Recently, I bought this 4 album set that was going cheap. I’ve gotta say; This is the ultimate barbecue music. Love it! Here’s another. Weird camera work, but it was one of very few clips of him on YouTube.

    We had to go back to Costco to pick up some prescription sunglasses, so took the opportunity to go back to the bottle store to pick up some more of these beers. The foil topped ones are Lithuanian, the Oettinger cans are German, and the Old Speckled Hen is British. I’ve tried a few over the...

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    It’s been many years since I had a bottle of this in the house, but I had some at a recent wine festival. Sweet, but a nice drop when the mood takes you. Busy in the garden and kitchen today (harvesting jalapeños and pickling them, harvesting basil and making pesto, etc) so the hat is my...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    The book market looks amazing, though I usually read on the Kindle these days. I love the real thing more, but the kindle is so light and convenient to throw in a bag. With the 37 degree temperatures we’ve been getting every day lately, it’s the two straws that appeal to me the most from this...

    Costco run today. There’s a booze shop not too far from Costco that has a great selection of both whisky and beer. It was beer today. The three taller ones are from Lithuania. Today’s can was German, and I really enjoyed it. The one on the right is from Hungary, and it is very intriguing...

    Congratulations Jonathan. Looks like you had a great trip. Tough going on the way home, but a full refund is pretty good consolation. Etsuko asked me to pass on her congratulations, too. She’s so appreciative of how you helped us with those pugs.

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    Today I was in my Akubra Range. Back home and we opened our Summer Christmas presents. The Arran Quarter Cask packed a punch. At 56.2%, it’s only slightly stronger than the Sherry Cask (55.8), but it has a load more kick. Etsuko had to add some ice. We followed that with what I consider to be...

    I cannot deny that my memory may be a little shady here, but this is how I think it went last night… Star anise and cinnamon infused bourbon… Brandy… Chivas 12 Maker’s Mark Today’s hats…a Panama for me and a Toucan Hat for Etsuko.
