I don't drink very often any more. But when I do, it has to be a good beer that I enjoy. The Sam Adams always tastes good.John, you made the same choice Wednesday as I did Tuesday evening!
Agreed. I moved away from most lagers many years ago, but sometime in the past year (I think) I tried the Sam Adams Boston Lager on Vince's ( Prester John ) recommendation and found it very enjoyable.I don't drink very often any more.

I figured it was probably made in Sheffield, too. It's a good looking tankard!
Before my visit to Sheffield in December 2018, Jack told me to keep an eye out for a large Harry Brearley mural painted on the back wall of a pub between the train station and my hotel. Unfortunately, some vandals had splashed red and white paint all over it.
Those prices are for the "standard" Lagavulin 16, David. I never thought to check the price of a bottle over there, but we were having dinner at a pub in Bath (The Raven) when I noticed a bottle of Lagavulin 16 behind the bar. My brother and I had a debate over what it might cost in the pub, and were both surprised to learn that it was only £4 (at a bar or restaurant in the States, a single pour of Lagavulin would cost $10 to $12 or more).
A couple pictures from The Raven:
(That's my brother and sister-in-law in the corner window up there.)
I call this one "Hartshead Barlow from the Bottom of an Empty English Pewter Tankard".
I think that might be due to the very high rate of tax on alcohol here David
Surely you mean the very Very VERY HIGH rate of tax on alcohol...
Stuart my friend, you’re living large! I’m going to be in your neighborhood toward the end of February. I’m thinking about some good chili dogs and I’ll definitely have to have one of those caps!Sometimes Jim Beam and ginger ale bring things together for a proper thoughtful moment. Ommmmm . . .

Based on previous posts on this page I feel out of place posting this, but I'll do it anyway.
I don't remember the last time I had beer in my house, but my cabinet is always stocked with some good bourbons. Stopped at a few places on the trail last spring. The Four Roses distillery had just released the Small Batch Select (which is only available in a handful of states now). I walked out with three bottles.While I'm primarily a beer guy, I can certainly appreciate a good bourbon. I spent a good bit of time in Jeffersonville, IN for work so spent my fair share of time on the bourbon trail.
