Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

[Hurricane Jack]

I can't compete with that Stetson 100, that hat is terrific, but I had a great IPA from a new Oregon brewery, Van Henion Brewing. Wearing my sage Stetson Lamont tonight.

Thank you! I enjoy this hat very much. I've put dogbones in a couple other OR's . I traced the crease name dogbone to Resistol.

Where in Oregon do you live?

Back in my university days, I would have snuck one of those glasses into my bag or pocket after finishing the drink! Now I don’t want to encourage no law breakin’, but it should be easy if you’ve got a big coat.

Winter's not over yet. I collect in pairs, minimum. I'm sure if I asked I could get a pair from the barmaid.

That crease does look great on it!

We live in Hood River, about an hour east of Portland right on the Columbia River.

Carlos Camerana has been in the Tequila business for a long time. His family formally owned Camerana & sold out. After sitting out his No Compete clause I assume, he started Ocho with Jesse Estes' father, who has since passed away.

When we went to Ireland a few years ago we went to a brewery in Galway and wanted one of their glasses. When the waitress told us that they didn't have any for sale we asked if we could buy one off the table, she smiled and said they break all the time that we could just take one.

I have a daughter who just moved from Corvallis to some part of Portland. I buy her mom a ticket to fly up every yr but I've not been.

Portland is not what it used to be in my opinion, but Oregon has some terrific beer if I may say so!

I always enjoy Talisker, but it’s tasting particularly good tonight as Etsuko and I enjoy a nightcap to finish her birthday celebrations.

As for the hats…
A Hornskov Mogul for me and Akubra Leisure Time for Etsuko.

Through mid week I enjoyed finishing off some Dangerous Man Cream Ale and Guinness Stout.

Home yesterday after some crazy air travels (travel to Texas) I relaxed under a Stetson Twenty and sipped an All Day IPA.

This morning will grilling I am sipping my regular pilsner, Surley Supreme. Glad to have a day of my choice ahead of me. I am going to choose a walkabout in the woods in a while.

Cheers to all, Eric -

Happy belated birthday sir to both you and your wife. You know how to make the day special.

Catching up on this thread I am inspired to sip some whiskey this afternoon. Reading your post I can taste the Talisker.

Cheers, Eric -

Thanks, Eric.
The Talisker has been a favourite for a long time, but recently, with my bourbon adventures, it hadn’t seemed quite so great. It maybe lacks the sweetness I’ve grown accustomed to…I do love the toffee up front that some whiskies give, but for some reason, today the brininess of the Talisker is just hitting all the right spots.

Home to some Tequila Ocho Plata from the 2020 agave harvest of the La Loma field.

When I learned that the score of 96 points was for the Plata distilled from the 2020 agave harvest from the La Loma field, & that it was in short supply I went looking for more. I managed to find two more bottles to add to my open bottle & a lead maybe on two more.

I think you can read the tasting notes.

Tanya Tucker has her tequila out now. The field is getting pretty crowded while they all reach for that $1B that George Clooney & partner got for selling their company, Casamigo.

I think I’ll pass on that. And anything from George Clooney. Oh, and anything from Sammy Hagar the Horrible too.

Good BBQ & limited beer choices, under my Churchill Dalworth 40. Not exactly a brewpub.
