Quote:That's it! Had any yet?
Can't say that I have, this is the first I'm hearing about it
Toured the flying dog brewery in Maryland yesterday. Good beers.
Really liked the "woody creek white"

You mean you were 15 miles from me and didn't even stop in to say Hi! Sheesh.......... :teehee: :yes:
Ya gotta meet him halfway man
I did a Belgian beer sampler last night - small glasses, mas poder.
I trust that you slammed all of the Belgian that you could because 'Merica.
I picked up Knob Creek Single Barrel yesterday and had some last night. My favorite, so far.
I'm falling in love with Kentucky Vintage. It's got a kind of cinnamon taste to it. Nothing overpowering (i.e. fireball) but enough to add a little sweet and spicy to it. Very nice.

Ha! I almost messaged you. I thought you might be nearby, but it doesn't show up under your name on the mobile version.
Next time!
On topic: I scored some Basil Hayden bourbon yesterday at the Canadian duty free shop for $30. Pretty good deal! Will definitely have a nip this evening.

Deacon, since you seem to be the resident Bourbon man, do you happen to like Bourbon Sour's?

Not really my thing, but I do know some folks who
love them. For me, the best bourbon-based mixed drink is either a Manhattan
without the Orange, or something that I've heard referred to as a "Virginia Grandfather." The VG is a combination of Bourbon, Amaretto, and a cherry. So freakin' good! It's about a 3 or 4:1 ratio of bourbon to Amaretto and the cherry is key.

Sweet, thanks. I'm trying to expand my cocktail palate.

No sir. My cocktail experience consists of Martinis, Black Russians, and an Old Fashioned.
I had a Four Horseman way back when I turned 21 but I don't have much memory of it...

I should have included Margie's. I guess they're so common in my area it slipped my mind.
I had a couple of very good, very large, very strong margaritas in a local Mexican restaurant up here in Huntsville a couple of nights ago. I love frozen margaritas because usually it means a good Mexican meal is soon to follow.

Try this one.

You can make the simple syrup yourself. Add two cups of water and one cup of sugar to a sauce pan - bring to slow boil stirring occasionally. Let simmer until noticeably thicker and allow to cool.
Also - pick up some angostura bitters at the liquor store and add one tiny dash to this cocktail to liven it up a bit.
( Deacon - I've had the Basil Hayden BTW. I think I got our friend *PF hooked on it earlier in this thread B) )

Will do, thanks. Beyond the mint leaves, I have all the other ingredients
