Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

[Short Balding Guy]

With the heat index at 99* it calls for another day under the hemp OR & a new brew, a KC Bier Co Kristallweizen, a Weissbier. The difference between it & a Hefeweizen is that the Kristallweizen is filtered one time. Both the aroma & the taste of the German yeast is fantastic making it quite different from the Hefeweizen. 5.2% ABV.

Thanks for the edification Jack. I did not know and after reading your post googled up some more info. I have lots more beer to hunt and taste.

My wife and I are sitting down and tasting one of the sample bottles we got this past winter. We did recieve two of the Talisker 10 yr 100 ml bottles. We opened one and shared it.

From the isle of Skye this scotch whiskey has all of the smoke, salt and sweetness in balance. Light peaty and balanced is what hits my mouth tonight. The 45.8abv smell and taste are similar and finishes pepper/charcoal. I like it.

Cheers, Eric -

My morning began when the sun peaked over the horizon. Hot Costa Rican coffee started my day after a walkabout. I have grilled breakfast sipping a Surley pilsner and have been in the property sipping a cold brew.

Loving a Sunday off, Eric -

HH under a Stetson hemp OR with a 2-Pull called a Toasted Wheat.

It’s 100*. No one is sitting at the outside bar.

Another 1950’s bastardly Stetson One-hundred & a few imported beers for HH on Fajita Thursday.

Then home for a dram of a favorite Tequila Ocho Plata from the 2020 La Loma agave harvest. This bottling has been sold out for some time.

Coming up on July 24th is National Tequila Day & on July 27th is National Scotch Whisky Day. Fair warning if you wish to participate.

A variety of beverages this week. A couple of Radlers, Deschuetes Freshly Squeezed, Surly pilsner, Guinness and Founders Porter.

Cheers, Eric-

TGIFHH under my Moore Hat Co Bulldogger as long as I go from AC to AC to AC in pursuit of a few KC Bier Co Kristallweizens.

Back home for a couple drams of Strathisla Highlands Single Malt Scotch bottled at 117 proof by Signatory Vintage. Bottle 196 of 275.

It clouded up and cooled off to 95 so I'm enjoying the shade of the front porch with a cold drink. I don't think the mango flavor is as good as the pineapple, but it's way better than the orange.

A few Dos Equis Lagers followed by trading Crean Run shots with friends, all under an Optimo.

Then home for a double shot of Cascahuin Tahona Plata tequila with a shot of Key Lime Cream Run bottle kill.

Celebrating Mr Fords last outing as Indiana Jones. (Saw the film .., I loved it)
I sported my CS Adventurebilt.
A snort of Glenlivet was perfect!!

Happy Birthday, America!

No German style or Import beer will do today! So I’m honoring the oldest brewery in America by enjoying a few Yuengling Traditional Amber Lagers, still under a Churchill Panama Pith helmet. And a Henry Clay War Hawk cigar saved for later.

Cheers folks. Back home yesterday afternoon I opened a can of Deschutes IPA. Between air travel and a hot and humid day it was tasty and went down quickly. Later evening I enjoyed a Founders All Day IPA. This morning cold brew and a Paulander Ratler (during grilling a breakfast sandwich) were enjoyed.

Cheers, Eric -

Looking forward to cracking this one open in a few minutes.

Today’s hat was a paper Bailey that I like to wear in summer, though it’s nothing special and I didn’t get a pic today. Regulars have seen it repeatedly. I often find myself wanting to post in this thread, but am hatless for the most part while drinking at home.
No one has ever complained about my hatless posts, but I do feel a little sheepish!

On this very warm afternoon.. a straw Stetson Adventurer and a cold Ranch Water fit the bill!!!

 

[Hurricane Jack]

The best chicken fajitas called for a few Modelo Especial’s under a Resistol 3X with a hand felted edge.

Then home to open a new bottle of Siete Leguas Blanco tequila. Of all the Blancos I drink this one would certainly rank in my top 3 favorites. This Resistol ranks pretty high on my list too.

Black IPA and an Akubra Capricorn for the inclement weather.

I enjoy the hat-less posts very much. Your posts have been in harmony with the spirit of the thread. I do look forward to your posts. Please continue.

For my part I enjoy walking about the property and sipping beverages. I am aware that I often "break the rules" and wear caps. Ahhh, I think it is a small indiscretion that is acceptable. I believe I meet the spirit of the thread. My schedule is not normal and my posts continue to showcase this.

Looks tasty. I needed to google both the Advenurer and the Cold Ranch Water. Oh yea!

Jack your post had me at "best chicken fajitas."

yesterday a late evening dinner of mac and cheese, garlic bread and a Founders Porter was grand!

This morning escapades found starting the day enjoying some Volcanica Costa Rican coffee. After a couple of hours of clearing underbrush I sipped a Stiegel Radler with abreakfast of Ramen.

Cheers, Eric -

Taylor Swift begins a 2-night concert in KC tonight, so the hotels are full & so were the bars & pubs earlier. Under my Tatton Baird enjoying a few KC Bier Co Krystal Weizens they call Fountain City Wheat after KC City of Fountains.

 

[Snowman]

Enjoying a trip to the mountains with a local brew under my Viquez Classic. The beer is a quite smooth, tasty, and malty Scottish Ale.

Saturday brunch I sipped a Surley Brewing lager. The rhubarb pie was delicious.

It is the time of year for cold brew.

A cool Sunday morning meant warm Costa Rica coffee.

Brunch grilling meant an opportuntity to sip a Founders All Day IPA.

Cheers, Eric -
