You still have some of the HF IPA?! Wow

No, we were just looking at old pics like this one:

HA

Punt e Mes and sparkling water with a dash of orange bitters but about to head out to a "new" pub for dinner or drinks. Can't decide if I want beer or cocktails though.

This is Head-Case. Both.

New Belgium Brewing Company Fat Tire

Opened my Birthday beverage early (next week)

Packing samples to share on my trip to NYC.. not looking forward to the red eye tonight.

-> Invergordon 1966/44 yo 46.8% Clan Denny cask 4995

The plan is to share this around as much as possible and finish it on my next birthday. (current bottle to be finished soon Highland Park 1967/34yo)

stock photo - camera is packed

Nice birthday present Mikey!!! Have fun in NYC. If you get lost and happen to end up in DC, please bring the bottle with me to share (I will be there until Wed). Thx.

Since you twisted my arm:

Tried a new beer on tap from Karbach Brewing (a fairly new brewery in Houston): Rodeo Clown Double IPA. It was fantastic! Definitely the best beer I have ever had from Texas and competes with the best of the IIPAs. Guess I'll have to get some more Dreadnaught and Pliny the Elder to have a proper taste off. I would recommend it if you can find it. Of course, I haven't seen any bottles of it yet so it is probably difficult to get outside of Houston right now.

Also had some Brewdog Mikeller Divine Rebel on tap (pretty good but I couldn't finish the glass, too rich).

Lastly, a very nice cocktail:

Til Kingdom Come

Rittenhouse Rye whiskey 100 proof, orange bitters, lemon juice, and Ginger Cardomon sugar, shaken and served up in a coupe.

I liked this a lot.

Nice evening Shelly! Safe travels Mikey. Get some sleep on that red eye. At least you get an extra hour tonight!

Margaritas with fish tacos here, and then an Anchor Humming Ale and a 21st A black IPA

Had a fresh roasted coffee and will likely follow with a few beers that Raffy and Mike left after the weekend

2007 B Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard

Dinny, how was the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cab? I have loved just about every Cab I have had that was sourced from there.

Every. Thing.

Excel. Lent.

Mikkeller Barrel-aged Black Hole

Cognac barrel version

Unibroue Terrible

Valdez Pinot followed up with a

2007 Howel Mountain Merlot from La Jota Vineyards while listening to Emily play Carol Of The Bells. I love live music especially in our living room, and for this time of year it is so comforting.

Cheers all, and safe travels....

Had a Casa Noble Reposado margarita here in VA. Too bad they put so much sweet and sour mix (or whatever they use) that I couldn't taste the tequila.

Not a Long Island Iced Tea? I'm shocked!

A metric shitload of G&T today. Skipped my normal Sunday visit to FFF as my free cash has recently disappeared. Oh well.
