I did not realize there were three states where growler purchases were illegal.  WTF

Gin and tonic, from a minibar.

And last night I tried the Birra Etrusca Bronze from Dogfish.  Don't anyone tell grumbler but it has a small amount of hops in it.  Kinda wished it had more.  They put all kinds of funky stuff in it, including gentian root and myrrh resin.  The only pleasant taste was the pomegranate.

Weird hippie beers often suck in my experience.  I had some weird thing from Magic Hat once that tasted like I was drinking perfume.

Got a bunch of a good Rieslings from the Crush progressive sale (prices go down every day but quantities limited) plus a couple bottles of decent red burgundy and 2 bottles of 2011 Taylor Fladgate

Strikes me as a bit much to be drinking at one time.

Just had a single malt...take the edge off my day.

We have a new local brewery opening tomorrow.  It's in a generic-looking 1950s firehouse and it has a kind of cheesy firehouse theme.  Plus the name (Old Firehouse Brewery) isn't too imaginative.  But it's something new and I got invited to their soft opening

Gin and club soda.

[mongers]

Gin and club soda.

The consonants man returns with a classy drink, welcome back.

If it's good enough for the British Navy, it's good enough for me.

We're still pretty mercantilist when it comes to our beers. Distributors have geographical zones and the whole works. I think there are only two for the whole state of Texas. Economics circa 1755.
