How does the charcoal filtering affect the flavor?

I'm not really sure that it does. I think it's more about the clarity of the spirit than the flavor. Maybe a chemist could help us out?

I’ve never had that beer Mike but I love those covers.

Thanks! The covers have really grown on me, and these turned out to be some pretty well put together Case knives!
The beer is local. Fresh Kills is the name of the landfill here. Pretty gross to think about, but the beer is pretty good!
I gave a brief description of the Fresh Kills Landfill in Merle’s thread:

On the Road Again with Merle

I had a day planned where Merle and me would spend the day highlighting what make Valley City special, instead I had to go in and relieve my wife at work. It's really a special little town. Duncan and his wife Sue were so impressed they even brought up the possibility of moving here. Keep in...

I remember reading about the landfill during your time with Merle, but I didn’t make the connection.

Today in the United States we remember the members of the US Armed Forces who lost their lives in the service of their country. Here's to them! May they rest in peace.

Hope the Blues’ fans don’t mind me ripping off their style a little bit. I was really pulling for them.

I can only speak for myself Mike, but I love it!

These two are hard to quit. Fortunately they're both alcohol and calorie free!

Had one of these as my supper beverage earlier this week. I posted one last week, using an old (and rather unfocused) photo. This photo, and the knife in it, are relatively new:


I agree with at least the first and last sentences on the bottle's label pictured below. I think it's VERY good beer, and even though I've been a kind of scrawny guy my entire life, I don't think of myself as a "wee lad", so I'm qualified to enjoy this brand now and then.

I like the "hints of smoke and peat." Will have to look for it. Would pair well with Texas barbecue.

Thank you for preventing, but too late, i saw.
Be certain that I will avenge this poor rat at the first opportunity!

Dan.

The rat that was scoffing my mates tomato crop?...at least it died for a good cause.

Can't decide if I hate snakes or rats more!

Whats not to like ?

At least its distilled through carbon, rather than stainless, filters!

Is that a seaman/sailor on the label? What is he carrying?

Looks like a keg and 3 slabs of beer.. smoking a pipe..

I'm not really sure that it does. I think it's more about the clarity of the spirit than the flavor. Maybe a chemist could help us out?

Definitely....
they sell all sorts of hangover cures..

I'll bet you'd like it, Vince. It's called Scotch (not Scottish, that's apparently different) ale (or "wee heavy") which is not a very common style of beer in the US.

That sounds plausible, although maybe the "keg" is a sailor's duffel bag?
Maybe strange things for a sailor on a vodka label to carry, though.
