Spent the evening with old friends that we haven’t seen in 20 years. Our kids attended elementary school together. Picked up right where we left off, with a night full of laughs and memories and a couple pours of Blanton’s Gold.Cheers!

Pepsi and Black Bush. Not that kind! Ones in the bottle, you sick people.
Feels like a rye night. Rare Breed to get it started.Have a great weekend, all.
Cheers!
It’s become a rye weekend. Old Overholt cask strength aged 11 years.Cheers!
I just got pointed to this one today at the store, but chose a Rye instead. But now that I see a 2nd recommendation, I'll have to grab one.
Enjoying this La Gritona Reposado for the first time tonight with a cigar. I like it- It is exceptionally smooth and fruity .
Has the recipe for draught Guinness changed ?
I had a draught Guinness while I was in Malaysia - watery and piss-weak. While it refreshed on a hot day, it was nothing like the Guinness I remembered - a pallid version, Guinness light.
This was at a Guinness branded pub.
I should have ordered a lager or pale ale instead.
A couple of days later I was at a friend’s place - a Guinness aficionado.
He opened a couple of bottles (bottled for NAAFI - the local version of The Army and Navy Stores)
This was the real deal - thick, mouth-filling creamy, bitter, hoppy, malty tones that I remembered from years past.
Faith restored.

7yr old Granddaughter is spending the weekend and was so proud of getting up early and making a pot of coffee for Grandma and Grandpa.
Instead of 50/50 on the Chicory I think she went 55 chicory and 80 coffee I was afraid to get a picture in case it was camera shy and wanted to kick my ass. I'm drinking it anyway and letting her know she did a good job because one sip and I was awake.

Coffee only, no cold drinks. Dammit, my whisky is evaporating. I'm still out of smell, and the taste is only 20% operational. 
I can’t help it, I feel like a drunkard when I enjoy an occasional beer.
Sing one, Hank Thompson !
