What you drinking tonight?

Some words, like 'birkie' and 'coof' are no longer in use, but you can tell from the context what he means. 'Bear the gree' is no longer used either, but it means 'take first place'.

 

A couple of light lager beers to help supper slide down!

 

Budweiser...yes i know im sorry but it was offer in Sainsbury`s

 

It always on offer. There’s a reason for it being on offer. .

 

Couple of these after a lovely fish naga. Not a bad end to the weekend.

 

I did say a couple of beers didn’t I? One of my go to favourites… Hacker Pschorr - Münchner Gold… flavour for miles… if you’re only having a couple, make them top drawer!

 

Not much beats a beer with pizza in my book. I chose this IPA with a nod to my UK friends. The pizza is arugula, prosciutto, and tomato on a gluten-free crust. I don't give a hoot about gluten but I like this particular crust for its taste and crispy deliciousness.

 

monte alban!



dont believe anybody who tells you that the worm is any good.

it tastes like shit

 

Well, I had my first drink since New Years Day. It was a "Job Well Done Beer"

We got a foot of snow overnight and throughout today.

I deserved it! (The beer - not the snow)

 

Tonight is a Rum Old Fashioned (Kraken spiced black rum)… darn tasty it is too!!!

I tried a new IPA that I've not had before this evening. Quite good and I'd definitely buy it again.

 

Great band practice tonight deserves a slurp… so another black spiced rum old fashioned

 

Hmmm, good enough for a 2nd go, @DCS900? I may need to give that a try. What's your mix?

 

Muddled cherry and orange flesh with brown sugar cube
About 6 shakes of orange bitters
Big chunk of ice (cracked if you’re a Wisconsin type)
And exactly a glug of Kraken black spiced rum
Throw in an orange slice (on a stick with another cherry if you’re a Wisconsin type)
Swizzle (not shaken or stirred)

Serve down your neck, try not to spill out of your smile!

A Christmas present from one of my sons, a nice spiced Isle of Man rum.

 

Well, I'd make myself one of @DCS900's Spiced Black Rum Old Fashioned...if I had the Kraken rum. I went by our local mom & pop liquor store, Plaza Liquor, for a few supplies but feckin' forgot the Kraken! Next time. I did, however, remember to pick up a bottle of rye, along with replenishing my Hendrick's Orbium gin. This time it was a new rye--Restoration. I tried it out in an Old Fashioned this evening. Delicious!

 

I think I’ll be trying a couple of glasses of this tonight… I’ve got some Pepsi Max on standby in case it’s a little aggressive!

Always found Macallan a little pricey.....

 

I still haven't purchased a bottle of that Kraken spiced black rum that @DCS900 used for a creative rendition of an Old Fashioned. But his creativity inspired me to try something a bit different for an Old Fashioned this evening. I made this with my typical recipe but instead of rye or bourbon I used a mesquite smoked single malt whiskey distilled right here in Tucson--Whiskey Del Bac Dorado. It just might be my new favorite. The smokiness quite compliments the sweetness of the sugar cube and cherry and it all creates a complexity that I really like.

 

Not tonight because it's all gone but Saturday night just gone, a five litre can of Okell's bitter. You piss heads that have been to the Isle of Man will know all about the delights of this cask ale. While tin ale is just not the same, it did help to wash down a belting Chicken Jalfrezi with Pilau rice and a chapati.
