A Kentucky Mule indeed. I only recently first tried one when a buddy and I went to a restaurant that offered them. I'm not a vodka fan either, so I'd never tried the normal Moscow Mule. I've since tried the London Mule (gin), but the Kentucky Mule is where it's at, in my humble opinion.
I'd say the Hudson Baby Bourbon is OK, but it didn't really grab me. I prefer something that contains some rye. Normally I wouldn't have mixed it, but it had been sitting mostly untouched for a couple of years and I was out of Bulleit Rye, which is my go-to mixer.

One of my absolute favorite beers! Its only available during the fall/early winter but I wait half the year it to hit the shelves.
Founders breakfast stout is an outstanding beer. I first tried it in Michigan and was really happy when they made the decision to distribute to the west coast along with Bells. Prior to that I'd made several attempts at a clone and although good none matched up to the original. It's been great to see all the older and current scouts, boys knives and beer scouts. That scout is a fine example.
Beautiful 371, GT!
I went "Beer shopping" with my brother this morning. It's as dorky as it sounds. Here are a few of the highlights posing with my Glennbad modified Camco Cap Lifter.
Nothing dorky about seeking out a quality beer to sit down with. Ive spent plenty of time in the beverage store staring at and reading labels. My wife thinks I'm crazy at times but there's so many choices these days. Your re covered Camco is an awesome knife:thumbup:
Looking through this thread always gives me a thirst!
Lagunitas IPA is always a very solid choice, I am indeed a fan. Circling back around to roughly a month ago you had asked what I thought of Boddingtons. I really enjoy Boddingtons as a low key easy drinking beer. Ive got nothing against race car beer but I find It to be what I reach for when I plan on drinking more then a few beers. Apologies for an extremely late reply, I've been on the road for work. I really like your IXL :thumbup: The way the bone is cut to the bolster is very appealing to me.

Jack,
My wife and I started our Christmas shopping at the Renegade Craft Fair in San Francisco today. We made a good dent in our shopping list and I also managed to pick up a couple of treats for myself, which I'm enjoying now. Burly Beverages Ginger Beer Syrup and some copper cups. Add some bourbon and lime and we're good to go.
Great beverage choice Greg! I also have never been a fan of vodka but really enjoy both a Kentucky mule and Irish mule ( sub bourbon for Irish whiskey). I was lucky to try Burlies ginger beer syrup about a year ago and thought it was top notch. The only addition I make to either version of the mule is a dash of bitters, but that's just a matter of personal taste. It has been a while since I enjoyed a Kentucky mule and your picture motivated me. I'm just glad I had the lambsfoot to to take care of the lime :thumbup:

Greg, thanks for the review. If I recall correctly, that stuff runs like $40 or $50 for essentially half a bottle, so I'll probably take your word for it and won't be picking any up any time soon.
Enjoying a little bourbon myself tonight.

Having spent two 12-hour days working a problem which never should have existed and which definitely raised the flags...
I chose to drink an appropriate brew whose name echoes the flags and to carry and appropriate blade...

Have to look out for that one Frank :thumbup:
Thank you my friend I have never heard that expression before! 
It's years since I tasted Boddingtons, it's from the other side of the hill (the English Pennines) to me. Most of the beer I drink is draught from the cask, so I can usually cut my ABV to suit the occasion 
:thumbup:
Thanks for the Mule twists fellers :thumbup: Great pic of your Lambsfoot Stonebeard :thumbup:

Great call on adding bitters, StoneBeard. I'm definitely a fan of their use. Thanks, too, for the tip on the Irish Mule. Will be exploring that one...
It looks like your Mule is packing quite a kick with that Barrel Proof Elijah Craig! I think I've seen that brand in other photos of yours. I'll have to branch out and give it a try.

Yikes. I didn't realize it was so expensive. My bottle was a gift.
I am a fan of Buffalo Trace, though. Seeing yours made me realize that it's been quite a while since I've had any. Gonna have to fix that.

Mmm, I got turned onto Buffalo Trace in Sanjo, Japan. One of my knife enthusiast travellin companions turned out to be a chef from Knoxville, Tennessee, who'd worked in Michelin starred restaurants up the US West Coast. Being a beer-lovin' Australian, I asked him what a fine American drink was. That was it. The barman in the tiny place we were drinking in, chiselled out pieces of ice for our glasses with a special tool, then later stepped out from behind the bar, and played some cool, memorable jazz piano on the baby grand in the corner. Good times...
