Last year, I found THE perfect beer.















I bought quite a lot of them.

















Even though they are very expensive here.






















After the season ended it disappeared from the shelves.



























I have waited.


























I have waited long and hard.



































Now, it`s back.


























And better than ever!!!






























(the grocery store version here has been diluted to 4,5% but still... THE best beer I`ve EVER tasted, and I`ve tasted quite a few of `em!)

To make it even more special, this particular bottle ended a "dropless november" that started @ 28.10.

`ts goooooooooood....

 

From the Cascades

 

That looks like Mt. Hood on the label.

Henry's Private Reserve was the go-to beer for much of my 20's, 30's and 40's.

Palatable and refreshing as American beers go

Fine choice there, Sprock

@ Mattson. I wish someone would brew a "Bad Santa Ale" and maybe even a "Mrs. Santa's Sister Bitter"

Back to you, Sprock. If you crave a good PNW beer, Here's a link to a seasonal delight. Beautiful stuff.

No bad santa to my knowledge, however there is a product called Insanely bad elf that has over 10% and really strong taste

 

I've been drinking these 2 beers for like 6 months now. They seem to have a little more alcohol content, too.

 

Three magic words for you trout.

Islay Single Malt.

 

I like me some scotch. That's probably a bit expensive, though.

The bulleit rye is damn good, man. Ever have it? It's definitely worth trying @ like $25/bottle.
The pikesville is a bit brighter and not quite as good, but it's cheap as hell and also well worth it.

I wish I could find rittenhouse rye around here. I haven't had that in years.

 

Nuttin like that here, can`t remember any other American whisky being sold here that JD. There`s propably others too but haven`t really looked. Me personally, don`t like rye whiskeys. My favourite scot `s propably The Balvenie Doublewood, and the best Islay (whole other league, has to be rated separately) is hands down Ardbeg Uigeadail. And yep, U got that price part right, the Uigeadail costs a hair under 100 EUR here...

EDIT: yeeey, 500:th message!

 

Right now





Mixing it with cayenne pepper, black pepper, hot sauce, and splash of tomato juice.
