Voltron

Yes, the Ardbegs are dusty but I thought it gave them character so I left it. Now enjoying a DFH Hellhound in the Mayberry heat.

Smoked pork loin, bacon, provolone and onion sandwich with DFH Hellhound on the side.

I am less convinced but really want an explanation or executive summary of this graphy shit.

OK, Oogie / Airigh Nam Beist "cocktail" on deck. Giants are finally having a good game while Beltran shows some life!

Nice flair!

Good news is good, Marc. Wishing good thoughts your way. Glad to hear the good result at the bank, Fitz, even with some hassle as a consequence

Host's prerogative!

Negroni on Rye? Ryegroni? Whatever you call it this is an odd drink that I made because I had made a Negroni with Charbay Double & Twisted Bourbon instead of gin and that was very tasty. This Barbershop Rye Negroni is interesting but not as successful a variation as the D&T version. But it is big. It has that going for it. In any event, cheers everybody!

Bought a bottle of Bruery Rogbrod at Toronado and brown bagged it at the new Greenburger place across the street. Excellent all around. @Naaman: if you mean bitters, I would say Angostura, Bitter Truth Jerry Thomas Own Decanter or whatever it is called (a fave), or a cherry bitters like Fee Bros.

Raffy and Mike are throwing down the beer gauntlet early! Nice selections, fellas.

Awesome bottle number!

BB&B sells Oxo cocktail tools...

Nice haul, Scott! It is a long weekend after all. I dropped my car off this morning with and ended up buying 4 new low profile tires, an oil/filter change, and a new air filter. At least I didn't have to go to the dealer, but I still fucking hate dealing with car maintenance. The tires on this car have been a pain throughout.

I bet Irene blew in some kind of bug that got you. Feel better and have a great weekend Nate!

hurray for 25!

Whatcha think? I quite liked it.

I like it much better and it isn't in 1 liter bottles either. Wow, wish I wasn't working on learning about a new case so I could drive over to Mikey's and join the Peat Fest.

I hope that's your code name for a 50-50 mixture of bourbon and lemonade.

That's awful, Ken. Condolences to you and to Stacy for the loss.

I'm still happy to wait for the next batch.

Interested in HC fun but no inherent Formula One interest. Thanks for getting the ball rolling Mike!

Freshe out of ye olde Dewe. Didn't get my Rittenhouse today. Soon I hope...

First I had a Ransom Old Tom gin old fashioned and now I am having an Old Parr Scotch whisky old fashioned. Wonder what "old" booze I can find for the next one.

Mike's drink sounds far superior to Dan's.
