After mowing my yard for the first time this year it felt like time to enjoy a 10 Barrel Brewing Paddle Captain IPA on the back deck. After I stopped sweating I broke out the Mayser panama to celebrate the warm afternoon.

Cool! Lawn cut - jeepers we are expecting snow on Wednesday. Power to post-lawn cutting beers!

Victory Golden Monkey - Belgian style Tripel while pre gaming for the Garth Brooks concert last night. 9.5 ABV and a complex but refreshing flavor. I think I will be buying this one at home

Lucky couple. Nice choice of beer to monkey around with. Cheers.

Yesterday, post work shenanigans I sipped a Omni Brewing IPA. I forget the name as it was in a crowler that had the name written on it in marker. The marker name was gone when I opened the beer yesterday. It was excellent - whatever it was.

Later in the evening I was out sipping some whiskey. The Arberlour Casg Anamh I like more each time I pour it.

With the anniversary of this location fast approaching I told the barmaid they should have a Johnny's look-alike contest & the winner gets to drink free for one month...

a cup of wheat shochu on the rocks.
Interesting bottle; should be a keeper.

Talk about interesting bottles, I just got in from a liquor run. I bought a bottle of La Gritona Reposado Tequila that is cheap on the market right now & has been getting high reviews. The Tequilamaster is a woman with a long time in the Tequila industry & only plans to distill & market a Repo, much like Muchote which I can't get here.

I still haven't found more bottles of Tequila Ocho 2020 La Loma harvest but the search continues.

Also picked up a bottle of Bruichladdich the Classic Laddie 10. Hard to find here too & the price is up $15 from when I last found & bought a bottle in 2016.

Following the rules last night.
I think I broke all my rules last night.

Yesterday was a great day for a Stetson One-hundred for TGIFHH & some Tex Mex. Since I drank Sol Mexican Lager for a change of pace last wk I decided to revisit Pacifico this wk.

I had forgotten just how thin & watery Pacifico is so I had to switch to Dos Equis Lager after just one.

Later I tried a double pour of Teremana Reposado Small Batch Tequila (owned by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson). Some agave, medicinal alcohol, some vanilla on the nose & taste but other than that it drops off pretty quick. Being Small Batch there is the chance there won't be much consistency from Batch to Batch. I wouldn't buy a bottle.

This is called a "Black Out". It's a Margarita made with Hornitos Blanco Tequila OTR capped off with a triple shot of Hornitos Black Tequila. This is the black Tequila aged in a new heavily charred Oak Cask, not the coffee infused black tequila. Quite the contrast between the strong musky black Tequila & the regular Margarita with its touch of sweet juices.

Finished up the night with a shot of Hornitos to cleanse the pallet of the black Tequila taste.
