I went over my limit last night..and right smack dab in the middle of it was Magnify's Sorry Not Sorry..which I failed to realize was an 11% triple IPA. This night was finished with a Schaeffer can. Tonight, going a different route as my wife will be joining me. Strawberry/lime margaritas with some extra Jose Cuervo Especial.
It's a great story. Bruichladdich is one of the oldest distilleries, founded in 1881 by a family that owned two distilleries in Glasgow. It's on the west coast of Islay, so it's the saltiest, most windblown of the lot. When the company went into receivership in 1994, the distillery closed down. It was reopened in 2000 by a consortium that included Jim McEwan as master distiller and director of production. McEwan is the true Godfather of single-malt scotch, having worked at Bowmore from the age of 15 (he just retired from Bruichladdich last year).
And it's a fine product, if you like the peaty Islays. It's not "wet dog in a campfire" like a Laphroigor or a Lagavulin, but the essence of smoke and earth are still up front, with that slight tinge of sea salt on the tip of your tongue..
Good to know, I've been wanting to go more towards the German/euro brews, but I don't know whats what. I've even asked here in the past, but I always just forget the names as they are so unfamiliar.
The Warsteiner I now know, hope my local keeps it in stock.
Yeah, I had to delete it. I don't think I have this Imgur thing for posting pics figured out. Nice picture and cheers to all.
My favorite German Pilsner is from Grevenstein, Germany. Veltins Pilsner. 4 .5L packs cans. Sell a boatload of it. Get a bulk discount so pass it along to customers. $4.99

Well, I wasn't drinking tonight, but was in a tailgating mood, so did brats on the grill. They came out pretty well:
Your bun to brat ratio is unbalanced. That's a Two Brat Bun.
Home of the Florabama bar on the FL-Bama line on the Gulf. It was better during the 70’s imo, but pretty cool my last visit a few years ago.
Will look for it here in Central NJ.
There are many good Pilsners out there.. Paulaner, Warsteiner, Bitburger, etc.

Spanky beat me to it. Saw this on Amazon Prime on a return trip (back in the olden days when I used to fly for work). Excellent documentary. I really enjoyed it.
Speaking of which, it is so hard to believe that the Munich celebration is shut down this year. My father used to travel to Germany every few years to Oktoberfest and visit my brother overseas. Like a jackass, I was given an invite many time when i was in college, but too cool and busy to travel with my pop. One of my many regrets as I have yet to visit the mother country :<
That's precisely how I saw it, too. Return flight from Memphis, first class on an E-195. First in that little plane is actually a pretty sweet ride.
A Blood Orange Margarita.. because it is Cinco de Mayo and Taco Tuesday! Lol
