What Did You Drink Last Night?

[Dlaniger]

I had a Rob Roy made with 12 year old Glenlevit.

Something I have to try! Sounds like a delicious pairing.

Eagle Rare 10-Year-Old Bourbon ... with Ginger Snaps on the side.

One of my favorite drafts, now in cans!

I hadn't thought of it myself, but since ginger snaps have a complex, spicy and nuanced flavor - more 19th than 20th Century - it makes sense they would pair well with Bourbon (and, my guess, some other liquors with complimentary flavors).

Ginger Snaps go well with Rye Whiskey served neat. Try it with Templeton or High West Rye.

Maestro Dobel Tequila neat tonight.

Blue Hawaiians and ciders while enjoying good company out back on the deck last night.

Not exactly the Golden Trout I was after. A Kolsch style ale, in the shade, is a good consolation.

The photo and location make it look great!

Was the glass chilled?

No! The sacrifices one must make.

2 Rob Roys one with Glenlivet and one with Macallen. Pretty tasty!

That would be called, “roughing it.”

Coca Cola.

The fanciest I get these days is a Shirley Temple.

Wow! I love catching (and releasing) trout, flyfishing and beer. What could be better than a Golden Trout while sitting on a slab of granite along a bubbling brook somewhere in the mountains? Thanks Desert Dog. Think I'll soon be heading off to one of my favorite (secret) streams with a cooler full of brewskies. Hells bells I might even do some fishing...

It’s still morning for 30 more minutes. After three hours brush-hogging I’m ready for a beer or two.

Last night in honor of my beloved Bal-more Orioles who are currently wallering in last place with no chance of recovery this season .... enjoyed numerous cans of a Baltimore classic, Natural Bohemian aka Natty Boh. Only thing missing was a bushel of crabs, steamed in Old Bay... and of course a couple O's victories.

My Granite City has tapped a 3rd cask of their Bourbon aged series. It's their Pale Ale (The Duke) aged in a Elijah Craig Bourbon cask. I like it so much I would like to see it become a yr around regular but the problem is in sourcing the casks I would think.

A couple of wks ago I made a recommendation on aging either their Duke or their Northern in a Rye cask. One of their Brewers called me later & we talked for a while. I made a joke & told him they need to start adding vitamin C to all the grapefruit beers on the market. He laughed, but when I went in this afternoon my favorite bartender told me up front that my tab for tonight was comped! Very nice of them!

The cask aged pale sounds good. Does the bourbon impart a flavor and aroma? I have had cask aged ale, hand pumped to the tap, that was a real treat.

First of all it boosts the ABV up. Not sure what it would be after aging but I would guess it's up ~9%, 10% maybe. It imparts a nice oak wood & Bourbon flavor/color to it. Elijah Craig Bourbon doesn't have that perfumie taste that some bourbons can have, but the woody oak flavor mellows the EC just a bit anyway. Makes a nice combination but witbier & lawnmower beer drinkers probably won't like it.
