Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

[Rumad]

NBD! It's been a while since I've enjoyed some Wood Hat Spirits, Aged Blue Corn Whiskey. An 80 proof handcrafted whiskey distilled from 100% Blue Corn grown by the distiller, & aged in new toasted Allegheny chinquapin (dwarf chestnut) casks from MO. This drink pairs well with my black Gannon Highwayman 100X I've worn a lot this winter, & a David James Aztec jacket in turquoise & black.

Dang, I love that highway man bro. That’s a killer jacket too.

Ha,ha,ha ... that was Black Oak Arkansas (our flamboyant neighbors to the south).

Oh yes! Ruby Starr!


Nice combo! Thanks for all you do Dale!

Having a hard time posting today. Maybe it's the Bigfoot! 9.6 abv, Barleywine style.

Thanks Alan. If there was another vintage color from the era I would get in the queue again.

I saw a unisex Aztec zippered serape-like cover but with sleeves the other day I really liked the pattern, but it wasn't near my size.

Really enjoying this Bourbon.

What I meant to say is, I saw Ruby Starr and her band, Grey Ghost, at a small bar in the late seventies. They did the obligatory Jim Dandy. She could really hold your attention!

Thanks Jack, this ale best drank from a tulip.

A tulip or a snifter, I agree.

Home from work travels and sipping a Surley IPA.

Working on starting charcoal for a dinner of roasted pork tenderloin. A Guinness was a perfect beverage for the task.

Cheers, Eric -

Nearly 80 here in central Bama today. Enjoying the shade of the front porch with the Cav and a cold German brew.

Might regret it later.

Brunch included a Surley IPA.

His n’ her, Hat Racks. Just wish the Nutria was bigger so I could wear it.

A happy late afternoon with some Ardbeg 10 & a Stetson One-hundred.

VS Chocolate and a Founders Breakfast Stout. Perhaps a Chocolate Ale would pair better with the hat? May have to try that soon!

Great combo! The cigar must add to the enjoyment of that fine brew!

''Tis the season for some RB 12 Single Pot Still Whiskey. I've been looking for some Kilbeggan 12 Single Pot Still for St. Patrick's Day. All I've found is a bottle of their Rye.

Out with my dog walking about.

The moon is in a phase called a Waning Gibbous. The moon is 97,51% visible and is de crescent. The reason the moon appears to be big is it is near the horizon. It is because the moon is changing its apparent position in depth while the light stimulus remains constant, the brain's size-distance mechanism changes its perceived size and makes the moon appear very large.

Tonight I am sipping another Deschutes Freshly Squeezed IPA.

Cheers, Eric -

Great explanation & pics, Eric. I heard some talk on the TV about it but didn't pay much attention.
