Beverages and Blades - Traditional of Course

Great pics guys! I'm sitting here, in front of the fire sipping my Jim Beam and reading all these. Good deal!

I'm back on Beam (JB Black Label poured into an older decanter - the original fill was dang good, but gone), too, Dave.

Enjoying a delightful Bavarian style dark wheat beer with peach and pecan flavours: Shiner Holiday Cheer, brewed here in the Lone Star State. I read about it here on BF, but don't remember exactly where. Great stuff! Too tired and relaxed to take a picture now, but will post one maybe tomorrow, with a suitable blade.

First LP I bought as a child was an Elvis Christmas album. Must have been 1968 or 1969. What a voice!
Cheers!

Well, not an artistic masterpiece, but here's the beer I mentioned, with one of my frequently carried knives.

A picture from last night - a 1982 Pomerol and a 1982 Böker whittler with Thuya burl covers. A good year for both.

The coping blade is a bit camera shy.

Exceptional! A true milestone! Just would deserve at least a T Bose!

You need to come for a visit, Jack, as I have some more '82s that need drinking.
- Stuart

That would be fantastic Stuart

Got any Château de Chasselas? That would be very passable....

New Krein bushcrafter and a new ale for me. I'm a Amber ale fan and this Bell's Amber is really good. The 1812 Amber ale glass is from the Sacket's Harbor Brewing Co., another tasty Amber.
Really paired well with some homemade apple pie and ice cream.

Mmmmmmm

My local watering hole has it on tap for $2 USD a pint glass, so the taste/$ improves a bit.

That's very inexpensive, you'll struggle to get a pint of lager for under £4 here these days, considerably more in London I was out drinking Kirkstall Brewery's Three Swords last night with a pal

That's a handsome knife, all right.
My favorite haven has added Bell's Amber to their draft list. I have to remember not to reflexively order Two-Hearted next time.

Thank you, and it was a good quaff. I bought that wine and several of its cousins back when they were affordable. It's hard to find a Bose that is affordable, much less buy one and still be able to buy a bottle of plonk. But we can dream, can't we.

That's a fine favorite of mine, too.

That's the way to do it, and it's such a pleasure when you finally get to drink them

This time of year here sees light reaching its vanishing point, it'll be down to 4 hours of twilight soon so indoor shots are

But, off to bed with a cup of chocolate, I like it made double strength with a cream/chocolate paste then mainly near boiling water topped with full cream milk. No kids' choccy drink here You can have a nip of your favourite spirits with it too.... Eureka/Talon a present from Ken Krol in Canada who unfortunately no longer seems to post. A cherished knife though.

That’s the stuff right there Vince! The wife drank the last one the other day .... I need to get some more while I can.

I love a bit of dark rum with my hot chocolate. I'm sure with your recipe it would be much better than my store bought. Nice knife too!

Nothing too fancy this evening.

Got three left, Josh. Only two servings per six-pack. I'm lucky: my wife hates the stuff!

Just sat down with an evening mug of hot chocolate myself. Your's looks much fancier than mine. (Mine came in a pouch with little dehydrated marshmallows.)
