30s Mallory derby paired with a sour beer that had strong grape notes. Delicious and smooth.

Jeff ; Thanks for sharing. The derby and beer pair well. Tell me more about your beer. I can not read the name and I am curious.

Eric-

Eric, if I'm correct it's a red/brown sour from a Belgian brewery called Vander Ghinste. I'm not certain of the name of the beer, unless I have it backwards.
I've happily jumped on the sour beer train lately. Smooth and silky, not too malty, hoppy, or acidic. Sits well with me!

Thanks Jeff. I will have to look for the brand next time I am in a local shop. I have read about the sour beers, but not sampled one. Now I am very curious.

My favorites, should you see them on the shelves, are Le Terroir and sour bomb.

I had to have another Vander Ghinste, and more closely noted the label this time!

I can't make it out.
What's the score?

 

[bowlerman]

Heh. It's Verdi's overture to Nabucco, adapted for youth orchestra by Sandra Dackow.

Glad to hear that it's only for an orchestral performance and that no soprano's voice will be destroyed by her attempting to sing the role of Abigaille.

Been thinking about planning a ski trip so Colorado has been on my mind lately. When I got home tonight I reached for my bottle of Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey.

Sorry for the slow reply Bowlerman. Just returned from a winter vacation.

The homburg is a Dobbs Golden Coach. Better pics can be seen here:

I have no pic but Mother's Brewery once again has their seasonal MILF Imperial Stout out. Brewed with cocoa & raisins, then aged in rum, sherry, bourbon, brandy and whiskey barrels, it takes on flavors from each barrel like a premium whiskey does. You get a cocoa/chocolate flavor going in, with a wonderful whiskey aftertaste. Lots of flavor going on! It's about 11% APV so it's for sipping, not guzzling. I love this time of yr for the good Porters & Stouts out there!

Mother's is one of our local breweries. Not too crazy about some of their stuff, but this one is a winner!
