Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

[Hurricane Jack]

Been wearing the 7XCB OR all day & just realized a bit ago I should have been wearing jefe on Cinco de Mayo!

We've had so much rain with more to come, I saw a line of ants today moving their eggs to higher dry ground. They've taken over my mailbox!

With rain imminent I'm wearing a 4X OR, & after 3 days of straight Tequila I'm just drinking a few American Lagers.

I like that photo! Hat band, hat, and label go so good together. Just like Scotch and steak!

Thank you DD! I can raise & cook a pretty good steak but all I can do is hunt for good Scotch. Longmorn is hard to find, especially aged longer than 12 yrs. I should be saving this for a special occasion; I have one bottle left. It's "evaporating" fast!

I hadn't realized until recently that the random tervis tumbler I chose to do my drinking features a fox wearing a fedora. I'm using it right now as I drink rum and code red Mt Dew as I wear my straw Gambler

Catching up on posts this afternoon. Cheers!

Caribou Brasil.

Maple Bacon Coffee Porter, by Budda Brewery (Florida). It has just enough of everything.

Cheers folks. I have been busy of late and am just reading thru the posts. It is enjoyable to see what you have been imbibing.

Cheers. Pic has be sampling a local beer, Dangerous Man Sour.

Damn, what will they think of next? Could you really taste bacon or was it just smokey? I've had bacon flavored gormet popcorn before & it tasted like those bacon crackers you used to be able to buy before anything with trans fats disappeared. I'll be waiting on a Pork Spare Ribs BBQ Lager.

Jack; Or perhaps brisket porter? A smoked salmon lager? This could get crazy.

Not my fav as I tasted bacon - smoked fat pork. An after taste of fatty bacon and hops is not grand, IMO. I do really like bacon, but not in my beer/coffee or breakfast oatmeal. My opinion certainly. I am truly convinced after finishing this beer that bacon should be used for more conventional uses. Recently my nephew on some international travels and sent back a pics of a bacon flavored coffee drink he had - we agreed that was tooooo much. Of course he had to try it. I agreed with trying it. mM curiosity would have trumped as well. Aged wisdom aside, even I would have tried it. Certainly is something about the smoked pork flavor that is just so darn appealing. I can tolerate Brussels Sprouts as long as bacon and butter are the flavor that mask the nasty bitter spoiled cabbage like flavor of the sprouts. Bacon and butter. I could probably eat kale daily with butter and bacon. To each their own. Bacon does have a limit for me. Beer and bacon is a limit. Snacking on a stick of bacon whilst sipping a fine beer would be grand. Not combined.

I took an early evening and headed home to sit around a log fire and sip some sour beer. The beer's hoppy sour taste is definitely more up my alley on a cool May evening. I plan to open a Founders Porter or Breakfast Stout tomorrow evening. I sense the need to bring my taste pallet back to my "normal."

I agree, be it a Stout, Porter or Lager I think the taste would be a might much & perhaps artificial. Even with the smokey Islay Single Malt Scotches, I prefer one of mild smoke. Too much smoke & that's all you taste.

It was impossible to get much sleep last night with all the storms. More to come over the next wk. I have an appointment to get some stitches out this morning. I can't see them except with a mirror, or I would stay in & take them out myself. Will be ready for a nap later.

It’s good to hear from you Jack. I hope you are out of harm’s way. I know your area is getting pounded by the weather.
Be safe and well.

Thanks Bowen. I love the way it creased up, sort of naturally.

This one's for @Hurricane Jack, my newest favorite beer. A Milwaukee, WI brewed Kolsch style beer. 5% ABV with a slightly malty taste to start which quickly evolves in to a clean, citrus like finish with 0 aftertaste. Perfect for this 91 F afternoon. They are too easy to slam. No maple syrup porter coffee bacon flavor was detected.

...my newest favorite beer.

I remember Dale liking & recommending it not long ago. I've not tried it & have only seen it in the grocery stores here. I'm sure the Colognian Germans won't mind you drinking it either. I like a good German Bock.

After a recent shot fired across my bow I've been drinking a blue agave spirit distilled here in America. Probably best used in a cocktail instead of sipped, but it will get there.

Lieni's were around $12.00 a case (24 pack) when I was an undergraduate. Perfect college beer, IMO. My taste for Leini's may have been burned out by the time I headed off to grad. school. I would take it over a maple, coffee, bacon beer any day.

Cheers folks.

I met an older retired couple a few months ago & he is a retired airline employee, so with their airline pass they are frequent world travelers. They go to Ireland often & he really likes a thick heavy potato bread they have there. Someone gave him a recipe for it & he has been making it in large batches several times a yr. But he said he didn't know what to do with the large amount of potato water with confectionary sugar in it that he was generating so he got a recipe to make potato beer. She doesn't drink beer; I said if you need someone to peel potatos I'm your man!
