What Are You Drinking? August 2023

Bourbon marinated chicken? Please describe.

It’s a pretty loose recipe, no measuring but I like to let the chicken soak up some bourbon for a day or two, along with whatever ingredients I have on hand that jive. You pretty much always want bbq sauce but I don’t always have it so I might throw tomatoes and hot peppers in the ninja and let that be the paste. Dashes of spices round it out. Mustard powder, chocolate habenero pepper, worchestire sauce, whatever feels right in the moment.

Poured myself a Heaven Hill Mellow Corn. My goodness this stuff is awesome. It's a simple drink, but its popcorn sweetness is overwhelming. It’s his beverage doesn’t get enough attention not a drink to pick out complex and subtle notes from, however you could easily smash through a bottle of this in a night without realising. Dangerous stuff indeed.

i didn’t know HH produces this. It’s really amazing neat. Add dashes of plum or peach bitters if you need to jazz it up after a few. This is an underrated and under-respected beverage. The branding is excellent too.

My wife picked up a mix and match six pack at the grocery today. I'm starting here with Yuengling Black & Tan. Good beer. A lot better at the bar, but, hey, that's alright!

Round 3: From right out the road, Appalachian Brewing Co.'s Mountain Lager. A first for me, and it tastes pretty good!

Round 4: Sunshine Pilsner by Troegs, another brewery in the area.

You're making me thirsty at 6 in the morning...

Now, before lunch, I'm having a few shots of Búfalo Trace, I find it a good classic bourbon, decent, and grateful. But that's my feeling, I'm a novice in these matters, although my palate gives me good sensations. It is sad that just like tobacco, which is being taken over by Asia, I fear that distillates are going the same way. Here in Spain, alcoholic beverages are going up every year, and they want to lower the alcoholic content, turning a good distillate into a lollipop for children. It is a personal opinion. I appreciate the opinion of my colleagues here. Thank you.

The fifth beer in the mix and match six-pack is this ale from Yards, down there in Philadelphia.
A nice way to kick off the afternoon.

And lastly, Smithwick's Red Ale, which is brewed a long ways off. Tastes good to me! I'd say my wife did good picking these out.
Here's looking up your address!

Having a Hudson Valley Erstwhile, an English-style Dark Mild brewed with a variety of speciality malt, a touch of milk sugar, and hopped w/Sterling. At 4%, it’s an easygoing beer for a warm 80° F Summer afternoon. Wasabi is avoiding the sun by sitting under Susan’s chair.

110F on the mercury, an ice cold glass of my homemade plum wine, and a salt bath awaiting me after tending the orchard and vineyard today. Ahhhhh…. Nice

My tipple last night was the famous Wadworth 6X from Devizes in Wiltshire.

A tasty, easy going 4.3% perfect for a summer's evening listening to some Dire Straits.



Regards,

Jay.

I am recovering from gallons of beer and liters of bourbon. Thank you Columbus.
