Whatcha drinking (2018-2022)?

[The Late Night Gourmet]

I would love a few hours in there.

I am going back there tomorrow. The pickled mushrooms are intriguing.

I think I like those boots your cork is wearing!

All the way from Madrid!

When this beer shows up, a lot of other beers just kind of go stand in the corner of the bar and keep quiet, until it's safe to come out again:

TastyReuben: my beer can beat up your beer. Read on, and you will see why. Other than that, I do love that Oktoberfest beer.

Now then.

An extravagant beer deserves an extravagant mug. Not German (the mug was from Frankfurt), but a Canadian breakfast stout, whatever that means, that was brewed in Detroit. I guess in Canada, they use maple syrup & lots of alcohol in their breakfast. Sweet, but impressive for the fire power (11.6%). Aged in maple syrup bourbon barrels.

Don’t try to eat anything with this. It will wrestle whatever flavor you have into submission. But, I love that I got this originally overpriced ($26.99 for 25.2 ounces!) beer marked down more appropriately to $13.99.

You were also seeing part of my house at a rare time when it looks clean. I’ve gone through a lot this year, and keeping up with tidiness when everybody in the family is a slob is not an easy thing. Some people put a priority on this; I wish I could.

Don't make me get out my barleywine!

Breakfast stout? As in drinking beer for breakfast? Last time I've seen that it didn't turn out well...

You just have to eat a good breakfast along with it.

You can look at it as "bread" in a bottle" or vitamin B-12, sometimes vitamin B-16.

Sangria, kind of

You gotta bite your tongue, had daughter her son and dog here. The mess they made. My wife made me promise not to say anything. Glad I'm back to normal.

I have to be careful with alcohol. I have not touched spirits for about 40 years. I had a dream last night about my favorite aperitif, the Kir Royale. Maybe this weekend when Dil and Trine visit.

I used to turn violent on whiskey, havnt had one in 40 years. But rum makes me mellow and merry.
