I like a good blue corn whiskey but I’ve never had Balcones. What say you?

I think I have only ever tried the Balcones' as a far as blue corn whiskey goes. So I have no basis to compare to other brands. They have two versions. Baby Blue tastes like a dessert. or candy. Best I can describe it is something like those old popcorn balls that are stuck together. Or maybe its something else that I can't quite remember, for some reason I think vaguely about the State Fair food when I taste it. True Blue is aged a little more and tastes different, a little darker. I like them both I think the True Blue is a bit better but sometimes I start thinking about the confection flavor of the Baby Blue. They are made in Texas. Maybe I should go do another taste test and compare them again.....

Sunday morning was roasting pork on the grill time. A beer, finishing my Omni Growler , was a perfect companion.

Sunday lunch guests and I sampled some Woodford Reserve.

Last night I had the first glass of a sour IPA from Dangerous Man Brewing here in the Twin Cities, MN. Delicious.

Cheers, Eric -

HH under a Churchill DalWorth 40. The color is Palomino (Resistol).

Managed to stay out of the calaboose for the night.

Home for some tequila Ocho on tequila Tues.

Older Resistol from a small town department store and a really nice local whiskey.

Gotta say pouring it with a real potent ginger beer gives it a lot more bite than diet gingerale. Not that I dislike it with the Canada Dry

I'm a big fan of using a good ginger beer for mules and dark and stormy's. I find the flavor is much better.

We bought two ginger beers from Aldi. The one in a can was like a stronger ginger ale. The one in the bottle burns your throat from the volume of ginger. That one works well to kick up the mule.

Yesterday I sipped a Founders Centenial IPA on a walkabout. The piney, bitter and clean finish was excellent.

Tonight I started a walkabout and changed my mind and darted back inside. The 5'f with wind gusts up to 35 mph have a feel like temp of -16'f. Brrrr. I am sipping the Guinness Foreign Stout inside as I share.

Stay safe and warm. Best, Eric -

Yesterday, with more mild temps I enjoyed a walkabout sipping a Founders KBS.

Today a simple breakfast of oatmeal, grilled potatoes and buffalo suasages. Grill time found me sipping a Guinness Stout.

A glorious sunny day has me outside sitting in a adorandac chair sipping a Surley Supreme (pilsner).

I hope you folks are enjoying your afternoons.

Kipas, Eric -
