Tonight was more American Brown Ale/Elijah Craig Cask aged while wearing my Dunlap Supreme 4X.

They told me at this location they are down to ~30 gal left. I told them, just like Arnold Schwarzenegger,

Always enjoy your postings and insights to these Granite City Beers. Nearest one to me is Franklin, TN. Nice transformation on the Dunlap.

Agreed. My work schedule rarely finds me having time or opportunity to visit a Granite City location. I have in mind a liquor store run on Friday or Saturday. I am inspired to pick up something different. We shall see. Thanks for the inspiration folks.

Thanks BB. I enjoy all their whiskey Cask aged seasonal beers throughout the yr. I try to take advantage of each when in season. Today is $7 growler fills so I'll probably make an early run for a couple there then fill a growler before TNF starts.

I plan to do the same tomorrow just in case this new tariff hits the retail level quicker than I expect it to. I'm perplexed at some of the sales this wk knowing the tariff goes into effect tomorrow. The only conclusion I can come to is retailers want to reduce their inventory effected by the tariff, then sit tight expecting demand to drop off. They don't want their cash tied up in product that won't be moving.

ABC stores were running inventory yesterday.

Enjoying Red Breast (12 year) on some chipped ice while sitting on the dock watching the moon light up the lake. The loons are noisy tonight. The loons will be migrating in the next couple of weeks to the Atlantic or the Mexican Gulf. I see them off and wait their return each year.

Cheers. Best, Eric -

Sounds like a great relaxing time, Eric! I would enjoy that.

I get the peat taste now. Interesting taste. Different taste and aftertaste.

Cool 48'f temps with a brisk wind finds me enjoying listening to the waves making noise against the dock.

But you didn't say if you liked it or not? If you liked it enough to continue to make a comparison, then compare the Quarter Cask against a bottle of Lagavulin 8. They both come with no guaranteed age statement, & come in at the same price point.

Sounds both relaxing & enjoyable.

The only thing I found while waiting on my buddy other than the ordinary was some VooDoo Ranger. But once we got into the wilderness we were loaded for bear! No one went thirsty!

I felt like "dressing up" on a Friday night for HH, after living on the lamb in the woods for a wk. So I grabbed a Stetson One-hundred for a few Mexican beers & Tequila pours.

Borsalino and Banana Bread Beer at Biergarten. Is that enough BBBBBs

Banana Bread Beer

I know a home brewer who uses potato water in his beer. I told him if he ever needed help peeling potatos I'd help for some beer.

That hat is perfection! The crease could not be better. A comfortable bar is a welcome stop, after roughing it!

Thanks DD, but I'm wishing I was back in those woods.

Where's Granite City?
One in Illinois is my wife's home town.

I always enjoyed the cry of the loons, and watching for them to resurface, when we'd head north for the big fish.

I'm working for free and drinking on a budget this week. I stopped in a Hi-Vee grocery and they had Beam shooters 5 for $5. Gold, Black, or Devil's Cut. That price is better than a handle.
I'm partial to Devil's Cut. I've never learned to appreciate the Peet.
