Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

[Short Balding Guy]

NBD for HH! Ardbeg Oogie with my Peters Bros Shady Oaks Banker's Special 7X Seventy-five.

An NAS blend of very old Ardbeg Oloroso Sherry Cask aged single malt with younger Ardbeg aged in Bourbon barrels. 108 proof so drinking it neat produces a touch of tongue burn until you anesthetize. Nice Peat smoke, raisins & figs typical of Oloroso Sherry, so far.

Your review sounds tasty. I did have to google up the pronunciation - excellent name.

Tonight I am home and sipping a Founders Oatmeal Breakfast Stout. One of my fav's. The flavor goes on and on.

I was looking up the ABV to answer a question from my wife and I discovered this beer vid. How cool is this?

Cheers folks, Eric -

Last evening after gettng home from work and this morning grilling sausages for a red/bean and rice breakfast I was sipping a Surley Pilsner.

This afternoon I need to place an order for liquor and make a run to my local liquor store. At this moment I see the need for some variety.

Cheers folks, Eric -

Tonight I enjoying a Yuengling Golden Pilsner. This is an excellent easy Pilsner that has, IMO, a better balance of hop and malt than others I have tasted lately. Drinking this lighter beer, 4.7% ABV, is thirst quenching and yet I can even have a second if I choose. I am not necessarily a Pilsner, light beer, kind of guy, but this is delightful tasting tonight.

It does make everything brighter after finding out tonight that our business has qualified for State Aid and Covid Support monies. The monies were transferred into my bank today. Yes, actually transferred. Cheers from Minnesota. I had 15 pizzas delivered for my employees and athletes early this evening. I was celebrating the combined effort of my community and clients. Our State Representative came out with some media and we saluted all the efforts on behalf of small business.

Cheers, Eric -

Sounds like a great order! I'll look forward to your opinions & review of those I know nothing about.

Tonight should be Tequila Tuesday, if I wasn't out. But I've been trying to ignore the temptation for HH by taking pics with my Stetson Shady Oak Farm.

Early January isn't exactly straw hat wearing time, but like bass boats and motorcycles, it's a good time to buy them. Picked up this vintage Stevens for $14. The Jack Single Barrel wasn't that cheap, but it's definitely well suited for this time of year.

Late evening walkabout sipping a Deschutes Fresh Squeezer IPA.

Thanks for the well wishes folks. Back at you, enjoy the evening folks.

Last night I sampled a Sierra Nevada Hazy IPA. Hoppy and fruity - not a bad drink. I don't think I would purchase any more, as it is not special in any way, IMO. Good beer, but not special.

Swing and a miss. I say not special beats terrible every time buddy. Try again tonight, and enjoy yourself.

Tonight I am going with a "sure win," a Guinness Stout. Creamy and the dry hop finish are perfect for an evening stroll.

I was drinking the Corryvreckan. It is a higher proof I believe. I put three drips of water in it and it opens it up and mellows it out quite a bit.

Amazing drams last night! Probably the most complex Single Malt I can recall ever drinking.

Awesome!! So glad you enjoyed it! It is in my top 5.

Beautiful day, perfect for a couple of my favorites. Elysian Space Dust and Resistol San Antonio.

Went to the small town "beer cave" to buy a lottery ticket and looked around in the cave as I was in the mood for a dark beer. Amber was about as dark as they carried, but did see this oddball.

Thought about it for a split second, but it was $12 for a four-pack. I just bought my MegaMillions ticket and went on my way. Got home and am enjoying a Papa's Pilar Rum instead ... and dreaming of a lottery win.
