Beverages and Blades - Traditional of Course

Chores being complete, it's time to lift a cap before lighting the charcoal and cooking dinner. I hope everyone's having a great weekend!

Thank you, sir. :)
I only have a couple of those "Mason jar with a handle" mugs (although I think they're fairly easy to find and quite inexpensive). One I keep in the freezer and use every evening for my supper beverage, and the other we keep in our box of "kitchen stuff" that we take on vacation with us each year. What I like most about the mug is that if I decide I can have one more beer, and change my mind after pouring it, I can screw a lid on the top of the mug, put it in the fridge, and enjoy it the next day without it going flat!

How did that far-beyond-shelf-life Oberon turn out, Todd? ;)
I'm not a big fan of Oberon, but my daughter really likes it "in season".
Coincidentally, the day you posted that photo, I had searched the pantry for a "change of pace" lunch choice, and made some tuna salad for sandwiches using a can of tuna I found dated 2002. Turned out great; that must have been a good year for tuna!! 😁

Here's another of my gift stouts from Christmas. This one was excellent IMHO! On the day I drank it, I really appreciated the "rich full-bodied drinking experience with dark hints of Old World style" that the label promised. And, as is usually the case with Russian Imperial Stouts, it packs quite an ABV punch (9% IIRC)!

It tasted just fine Gary. I’m sure the dates make a difference, but I don’t think my palate is the discerning. 😊👍

Magnificent pocket cutlery and photography as always, Dylan! :thumbsup:

I do like gin, but have never tried that one. I’ll have to rectify that some day. Thanks for the tip. :)

Thank you for the tip! I will definitely keep a look out for it.


An American Single Malt for me this fine evening.

Thank you, my friend. If you come across a bottle of this stuff, I'd recommend it - it is delightfully complex. The sticks are mighty fine too - we definitely can agree on that!

This six pack is lasting me a while. Down to my last one.

John, you are a master of restraint! I haven't had that one in a while, but there was a time when it was among my favorites! Enjoy and savor that last one. :thumbsup:

Your lambsfoot is looking splendid, as well. You are a man of impeccable taste. :D
