What Are You Drinking? October 2025

[OzPiper]

A lunch with a few mates at a local Malaysian restaurant - hawker stall favourites of loh bak, Hainan chicken rice, Chau Kwei Teow, KL Hokkien Mee, Hakka yam coins, etc

Then home for mooncakes, homemade durian ice cream and coffee

And a mini tasting of eau de vies and grappa -
Laurent Cazottes Reine Claude,
Reisetbauer raspberry and Poire Williams and Capovilla Poire Williams

Iron City, my Dad's favorite, and my first sips of beer as a youngster. An acquired taste maybe.

Picked up this bottle today after hearing good things about it. Happy to report they were correct. I’ll be sipping Jack Daniel’s Heritage Toasted Barrel while watching ( and praying ) for a Cubs victory tonight.

Cheers!

This post transported me back to 1988, when on a whim, a friend and I decided to drive from Rocky Mount , Va. to Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh to see the Mets vs Pirates. We drove 6 hours in his 1979 Toyota Tercel Wagon with a carton of Marlboro Reds and a jar of Franklin County’s finest shine as our fuel. We arrived 30 minutes before the game and bought the cheapest tickets available at the box office. After climbing up to the nosebleed seats, I collapsed in my seat with the worst cotton mouth of my life. I see a vendor hawking Iron City Beer and flag him down and he proceeds to pour 12 ounces into a plastic cup. I eagerly grabbed it and took a big swallow of lukewarm $#*% and ……..I’ve never had a gag reflex hit me so quickly! To this day I can still taste that vile shit whenever I hear the name.

Just busting balls. My Papaw thought pig brains was the greatest thing ever. It’s whatever disgusting shit you grow up on and get used to.

Cheers!

I’m liking the new branding. I think I’ll have an Arn please!

 

[Egg Shen]

I’ve never heard of this brand before and for all I know it could be expired but it tastes not like a Czech Pils, more like Marzen ish so I don’t really like it.

 

[Egg Shen]

Organic Tequila. Maybe Rhum later if I have a cigar or big pipe to go with it…

Is that a 1911 I spy?

Is that a 1911 I spy?

Oh yeah I guess that made it into the frame. I pretty much am set up so that I am within a few strides of one no matter where in the house I am.
I’m going to have some Rhum after I finish my coffee

If you get another itch, PNC Park is a great place to watch a ballgame regardless of your team affiliation. Iron City is still readily available, but easily avoidable.

Ahr’n City holds the title of The Only case of beer I never finished. But someday I’ll sell this on EBay and cash out early.

PM with your bid

More Scotch. I usually lean towards the Islay scotches, but a friend suggested Johnny Walker Double Black, and I'm not disappointed.

It’s already on our must do list. My son has been several times for Cubs series when he lived in Alexandria,VA. and raves about the Park and it’s beautiful views. I will bypass the Iron City, as I’m not quite ready for that wave of nostalgia to wash over me anytime soon.
