Hurray!

Use one to get the other then, its simple economics. Ask Steve how...

Torbreck woodcutters Shiraz

Goose Island Dominique on tap...yums...I've finagled a deal for some of their soon-to-be-retired Goose glasses...perfect for sours...

Thanks. It's great to be back. Almost seems like a dream.

yay!! good to see you around these parts.

Well, thank god that's all over.

Fucking A right! Welcome back Naaman.

I get to knock off the last dram of my Parker's 27 tonight to toast your return, and blessingx is coming over so he can join me. Luckily I bought another bottle recently but was waiting for the ceremonial dram before opening it. Win-Win, I say!

Right on, naaman, good to have you back...once again.

In your honor, I just finished a Pliny. Now I will have some Eagle Rare.

Welcome back Naanman!

Dram of Pappy 20 after a long day at work

Yay to Naaman! I'd toast you, but I'm afraid my plain ole water could be viewed as an offense in this thread. At any rate, a most sincere welcome back to you!

Water is good. In fact, I'm looking for a new water bottle. And yet another obsessive quest begins...

This made me laugh.

Don't be a silly monkey. Go here:

And then buy a Klean Kanteen and be done with it.

I agree and will probably order one.

I'm getting a camelbak.

I'm drinking a Pride of Branthill on cask at Magnolia to commemorate Duggeh's return to Great Britain.

I have to finagle a solution to being short by one strong beer that is no longer available. I myst get that free glass or else I'm going to steal one from these bastards!*

Just kidding. No petty theft planned at this time. Probably.

Iggle raw

Eagle Rare. Again.

Great success! I convinced them that doubling up on the Promised Land IPA should be enough with 11 of 12 beers punched. The twist is the they were out of the strong beer month glasses (of which I have 7) so they gave me a different one instead. Even better.

One of those drinks / punches that has to "integrate" for 3 days. Recipe when I drink it. The rum on the right was used in the drink as well as used to store the result.

The day has come...

Fish House Punch

4 oz Jamacian rum

2 oz brandy

0.5 oz peach brandy

0.5 oz maraschino liqueur

2 oz freshly made green tea

1 oz lemon juice

1 oz simple syrup

1 split champagne

Combine without champagne and let brew for 3 days. Pour over ice (I did 4 oz) and top with the bubbly (I did 1 oz). Stir

This is a very very nice punch.

I cannot tell on my phone if the pic showed up in the quote, so here it is.

I would like to try this again and just leave some loose tea in the bottle as well.

That punch looks very good, much better than the name.

Welcome back Naaman!!! :prettyprincess:

Having a Hendricks and Dolin Dry dirty martini (jalapeno stuffed) olives now but will be toasting your return with a Parker 27 after I finish this.

G&T with orange bitters. Whoever suggested this, I like.

That sounds good.
