Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

[Blackthorn]

Nice Blackthorn! I just watched Casablanca again on TCM Sunday.

I DVRed it, Roger, and will watch it later today. Perfect timing for it to come on TCM, eh?

Thank you for the kind words, gentlemen!

Cheers Blackthorn!

You said it! If we ever get out that way I am going to make it a point to stay in that room. Too cool. I don't know how I'm going to keep my wife from trying to take that couch though...she'll love that.

the road is dangerous in & out so when I don't have the kids, Mama & I indulge at the bar & stay in town

Mike, thanks!

Roger, I just finished Casablanca...wow...after the umpteenth time watching it...it just doesn't get any better than that movie.

If you get a chance, that hotel is really worth your trouble, just for the ambience. The service leaves a lot to be desired, but I'm not sorry I have used that hotel twice, now. My wife...could be happier, service-wise. Let me know if you need details.

 

[Blackthorn]

Seabass, it's a small world! I may have to do that hotel next time!

Great Hidaway Port Costa!
A true step back in time & great food !

A trio of Whippets

 

[Blackthorn]

Excellent, Hatophile!

The Whippet Beer is from a local brewer, Thirsty Dog. When I saw it at the market, I had to get some, then thought this would make a good picture. The beer tastes pretty good, too.

Perry, as much as I like your hat I like your sleeping one better.

Tullamore Dew and my Danley custom 8 panel cap. It seemed to fit.

 

[hatophile]

Ahhh the Tullamore Dew, that's a tasty one.

Perry that's great! About fifteen years ago I remember seeing something in a small market that was produced by Thirsty Dog, but it wasn't intended for human consumption-- it was beef flavored water for dogs. I wonder if it's the same company?

Yeps, nice shot of what looks like a good atmosphere.

It tastes pretty good for beef-flavored water.

Last week I celebrated with a Deschutes Abyss. It is dark Russan Imperial Stout. "Hints of molasses, licorice and other alluring flavors make it something not just to quaff, but contemplate." I sipped and enjoyed the stout with cheese, venison and Finn Crisps (hard crisp bread). More about the beer here; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJIu0xr5l-Q#t=0 .

Posting this has me wishing for more. Best, Eric -
