Happy Birthday!

You just reminded me to get more rye so I went out and got a bottle of Thomas Handy. Not sure which vintage I got though (129.0 Proof). Pretty smooth for a barrel proof spirit but I had to cut it with a little water just get a better taste.

CCB Either to go with my NY Strip Steak + Wilted Spinach. Fucking Orgasmic!

Looks yummy Al! Tried a very small Manhattan with VW Rye.....so much better than an Eagle Rare Manhattan but I can afford to use the VW for a cocktail. Cheers!

Yay Shelley!

Preview looked good...I'm setting my DVR to record the series. Really stupid question but I'm fucking serious about this: Are there really swords that are sharp enough to cut a head in one clean sweep? I mean I've always seen this shit on TV and movies but I've obviously never seen a beheading so I'm curious.

Isn't blatz beer "an American beer made with German craftsmanship?"

Oh yes it was Al! Don't fight it! Nothing wrong with enjoying shit cocktails once in a while ya know?

It is if it's Red Vodka! Having a few nasty Miller Lites watching the NHL Playoffs at the local tilted cunt

Nice Bryan! As for me, jumped my mom's car earlier - went to the gym - ate lunch out - made an appointment with a hand doctor for my wrist tendinitis and capped off the work day with a flight of rye and bourbon. Feeling quite good right now and definitely looking forward to the NHL Playoffs tonight!

Crap, I almost grabbed that but didn't due to the price diff. Looking back, I wish I just shelled out the extra $. Having a Van Winkle Rye right now.....the VW 20yr is still my favorite but this rye is rather excellent too

Mike, isn't a Traeger a better alternative for the price? I'm not too familiar with the egg but I was rather impressed with the Traeger at Mayberry.

Well......I did make a Manhattan a few times last week but I promise it's only to chip into my Eagle Rare as I really not a big fan of it neat. Seems like I'm not the only one who's not a big fan either - just a little too light tasting and has this scotchy taste to it that I'm not feeling. Hope I haven't shamed Team FL too much

Terrapin Moo-Hoo Milk Stout

Damn I've got wood over that wood! Very nice Al and great job Steve!

Sorry to hear about the turn of events Shelley but at least they now have an accurate diagnosis. Wishing a safe and speedy recovery to your husband. Hang in there, everything will be alright!

Here's mine (from a closet hockey fan until this year): Capitals vs Rangers - Washington in 6 Flyers vs Sabres - Sabres in 6 Bruins vs Habs - Bruins in 6 Penguins vs Lightning - Pens in 5 Canucks vs Hawks - Vancouver in 6 Sharks vs Kings - Sharks in 6 Wings vs Coyotes - Detroit in 6 Ducks vs Predators -Ducks in 7

Celebrating the receipt of my first Glencairn glasses with a after-lunch dessert: Thanks again Dan!

Good luck Shelly...hope all will be well with your hubby

Had a glass of Sculpin at lunch, still one of my favorite IPAs. Just had this:

That's how you get the perfect Ph for the water

Pappy 20 yr. I'm sad that I only have a tiny amount left
