I was seriously considering pouring something at 8:00 am but decided not to risk the hour-long drive to my parents'. Thanks so much, friends. Love you all and hope you had a great thanksgiving!

Anyone else enjoying Four Roses as much as me? They are easily the most consistent American distillery I've come across. Heaven Hill and Buffalo Trace certainly have their moments but Four Roses kills it every time, in my experience. I even find Yellow Label to be the first 80 proofer that's not a watery mess and has some surprising flavor to it.

Congrats Tom! Looking forward to pics of the rig set up in the new room!

Happy birthday brosef, gonna have to cheers you in person if we can manage it sometime soon.

Happy birthday JP! Get that funky buddha on!

Belated happy birthday Alex!

Happy birthday Dinny!

...a piece of your Cinnabon? Plz?

A few years ago I was down 50 to Brent with only Rodgers going. He dropped 55 and I laughed at Brent for days. I won't do the same this time... Except to just smile and facepalm at the level of suck that has become the Chicago Bears.

Happy birthday you malty maestro!

Happy birthday Chris!

Are any our friends actively involved in organizing this thing? If the answer is no... then I'm out.

Even if the Royals tied up and it went to extras, I wonder how many more innings madbum could go. I bet another 2-3.

Congrats Giants. That was some straight up, Walter Johnson shit by madbum the last half of this series.

Mano y Mano, Dinny.

Well, I know basically nothing about individual players as far as scoring... but yeah! Let's do it.

Nice work SF!

Here you go - Any BTAC or PHC end up in your area?

Happy birthday Vicki!

Will do, Frank.

I will truly, truly miss the Foie Gras dog. Wanted to get back one more time but just too many goddamn people. I will reflect fondly on walking straight in with zero wait in line on a Tuesday during February.

Happy birthday Wayne!

So now that they've finally done right for Mike, maybe I should consider these again after 3 years of avoidance. Will be traveling a lot. How durable are the cables on the 13, 16, and Roxanne?

I know Scott and Jeff/Emelius were both pretty dedicated to Untappd at one time or another. I never got into it because I already had a couple hundred reviews on Beer Advocate and didn't feel like making a switch. For American whiskey, there's never been much choice for a review site. This seems as good a candidate as I've come across and it's a whole lot easier to track short tasting notes than the long ass novels I used to write for beer.
