Beverages and Blades - Traditional of Course

looking good! I didn't know Ardbeg had a 5 yr old... their 10 yr is just pretty darn nice...

I believe it's supposed to be a new addition to the regular lineup, though I could be mistaken there. It's very good, obviously "rougher" and more aggressive than the 10, but if you like Islay style whiskies chances are you'll like this one. Price was pretty reasonable, as well.

My Antique Autumn/Autumn Gold knives, to go with some Scottish highlands gold.

if you like Islay style whiskies

I do like them... in moderation. I don't think I could make one an "every day" kind of thing, but I do like them as a "wake up" change. The only one I have right now is a Laphroaig. I'm looking at possibly getting a bottle of Highland Park 18yr old as a late birthday present.... I'm hoping she decides "yes"....

I don’t really go for lagers that often, but this Vienna Lager from Fair State Brewing Coop in Minneapolis is pretty good.

Obviously, she said yes.... this is a very nice whiskey.... I'm not certain it's worth the extra cost, over the "normal" single malts, but it's very tasty. Of course, I should not be rendering final judgement with only one tasting.. more research is called for. Along for the ride with the Serie V is my new #38 in bocote. It's another bit of an experiment...

That looks like a stellar combination right ‘der.

I love the Shiner Beer souvenir glass I got at the brewery last year. I had a couple of Shiner Bocks today at a local establishment. But Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale is SO much better!
Cheers!

It's only better 'cause you drank it out of a Shiner glass, of course.....

I keep coming back to the Vander Ghinste Flemish sour ale, even if my local shops only carry them in singles. I find myself tiring of overly dry IPAs, and this is a great change from the normal. Here paired with a Victorinox Recruit picked up for a song (shipping included ) from the great auction site.

What's this thread doing on page FOUR Drying out?

French Dry Vermouth is great on its own as an aperitif, or mixed with English Gin

Oui, je sais, mais j'ai seulement vermouth italien maintenant.

Had some Yorshire beer last night:

I just posted this pic in the black Friday thread, but it fits here too. Don't pay too much attention to my tilted beer glass...it's had a few too many!

The cowsure is a raspberry sour season. To be enjoyed on a pedalo under a blazing sun and a hot summer breeze!
