Last evening I enjoyed a cold Guinness.

A few German Hefeweizen for HH. A great summer beer with a Resistol Waco.

Out on a walkabout sipping a Omni Brewing Lager. Perfect beer for tonight.

“A guy wearing a Stetson One-hundred walks into a dive bar…”

They have remodeled since I was here last.

Yesterday after work I had a couple Surley pilsners. They were refreshing in the warm weather. Later, I watched the sun set sipping a dram of Glenlivet.

On this Sunday afternoon I was drinking some Lagers when a few friends showed up & wanted to play call shot rounds. I knew one friend would be calling Jagermeister shots on his turn but was surprised when another friend asked if we liked Kenny Chesney’s Blue Chair Bay Rums? So for his rounds he bought three of the cream rums. I took pics of what I liked.

First up was the Banana Rum Cream. We all had one shot & it had a tolerable banana flavor probably best served in the winter in hot chocolate or maybe coffee. Perhaps a Latte. My least fav.

The second round was the Key Lime Cream Rum. Delicious, I could see where this would be great in cocktails or substitute in any recipe that called for milk or cream. Perhaps even as a floater on top of a frozen margarita. We enjoyed several rounds of the Key Lime. Shown with my Resistol Waco I was wearing.

And lastly was the Mocha Rum Cream. Would be a good winter drink OTR or in coffee like an Irish Cream.

All of these are 30 proof I think so don’t be afraid to try one. And there are other flavors not available at this establishment. I’ll be picking up a bottle of Key Lime on my next liquor run.

For brunch I enjoyed a Guinness.

Iced coffee was my choice for a glorious sunset.

Hot and sweaty day at work. I am home and sipping a Surley Supreme. This is a tart pilsner with a grapefruit taste.

I will finish my beer and go and take a rinsing shower.

Cheers, Eric -

Back to the dive bar, this time under the Moore Bulldogger.

Home last evening and savored a Surley Pilsner. Later I shocked the visiting raccoons with my presence on the deck. The MaCallan 12 and I shooed the raccoons away. I was doing my job in the gloriously cool evening weather.

Out in the late afternoon for a few Dos Equis Lagers under a buckskin/Dun colored Stetson One-hundred. Then home for a NBD of Cascahuin Tahona Blanco Tequila.

At 42% ABV (84 proof) it consistently averages a rating of 90 by a distillers panel. The brick oven cooked agave is still crushed by a Tahona leaving behind small chunks & agave fibers which add flavor during the fermentation in cement tanks. Lots of cooked agave flavor, black pepper corn, earthy minerals & vegetals, some citrus. No alcohol or medicinal flavor present.

As a comparison, Cascahuin Plata 48 posted up thread scores upper 80’s by the same panel. The brick oven cooked agave is crushed by a modern roller mill crushing all so there are no small chunks & fibers for fermentation.

Both have their spot in my cabinet.

Grand Stetson 100 and I appreciate the review jack.

Yesterday evening, home from work I enjoyed a Guinness. The cooler evening temps and sipping a Guinness was the way the world should be.

This morning I sipped coffee (Costa Rican Peaberry), sipped a Guinness fixing breakfast and celebrated with a Surley Pilsner after running some errands.

Out for HH under my Gannon Highwayman in natural enjoying a few Boulevard Tank 7 IPA’s @ 8.5% ABV. My fav IPA. Second & third in my opinion would be Dogfish Head 90 min IPA @ 9% ABV, then VooDoo Ranger IPA @ 7.5% ABV. YMMV.

Sounds very tasty HJ. I do enjoy Ranger. I have it on a list to buy before the 4Th. I see in my notes I sampled 90, but I do not see me writing an opinion. Tonight I add it to my shopping list. As to your fav Boulevard 7 I ordered some to be delivered this coming Sunday. I will post up what I think of the brews. Thanks for the kick off the boring beer bench.

Home tonight just before the sun sets, on the proverbial boring beer bench, a Surley Pilsner and a Guinness were my indulgences.

Cheers, Eric -

The worlds problems were solved yesterday evening on the veranda when a friend came over with a new bottle of high octane Rebel Yell. I happened to grab a Campdraft in Glen Gray, a color that was not offered long & rarely turns up now in a CD.

Nancy's sister-in-law is from Oaxaca, and she brought a bunch of these on a fishing trip over Memorial Day. In spite of several warnings from the Americans in the group, I had to try the stuff...mainly because by the end of the evening it's all that was left. In all fairness, the orange flavor was pretty gross, but I liked the pineapple/chili kind enough that I bought some more of it when I saw it at the gas station on the way home from work today.
