Vodka Martini, olives stuffed with gorgonzola and skewered with lemongrass. In a tropical jungle setting.

Stillwater Existent

Just got a bottle last night. How is it?

As for me, I just had a meeting at my house/construction zone in SF that experienced a great deal of water damage from rain last night because the roof is opened up and the interior courtyard had been ripped out due to pre-existing leaks. Quite unexpectedly they had to rip off the beautiful plaster walls in our hall and bedroom that had survived for 80 years. The contractor is eating the cost but fucked up nonetheless.

This drove me to drink so I stopped at Marin Brewing Company for an Orange & Black brewed in honor of the world champion San Francisco Giants.

Sorry to hear about the house problems.

Existent is VERY good. Stillwater is quickly becoming my favorite brewer.

Damn al, plaster walls, sorry to hear.

Sorry to hear that Al.

Al, that sucks!

lot b

That is fucked up Al!

It has been a tough week, but it time for me to get my priorities straight so it is back to Anvil.

Japanese

2 ounces cognac

1/2 ounce orgeat syrup (sub almond syrup)

3 dashes aromatic bitters

Pretty nice but I may have put a little too much bitters.

Sorry to hear this Al, legacy plaster walls are design and architectural treasures ( is that grammatically correct?). that sucks, drink up and tomorrow will be better. Well maybe anyway.... I will toast you with some Sangiovese which is Italian and in Italy they have a lot of plaster walls so this all fits in a karmic sort of way.

Edit* spellcheck recommends replacing "sangiovese" with "hangover"----WTF?

the Expanding Man- that martini picture is awesome!

3 Kings, Amon Amarth Ragnarok, New Albanian Old 15 and Southern Tier Jahva. At the Floyds if there was any doubt.

That shiraz that greg recommended and dusty bought for me. Good stuff. Deal of the century maybe.

Hell or High Watermelon.

I cannot picture you selecting that beer. Great brewery and not horrible beer, but how did you end up with it?

I still haven't tried Fireside Chat, myself.
