Drink of Choice

Bob Stehlik I saw your Paulaner and man do I love them. I know Ive talked about it a few times but Harpoon brewery makes an Oktober fest that is really interesting. It has a ginger bread taste to it. When I managed a beer store ALL the college kids would just come in and ask do you guys have the Christmas Beer yet, and they were always talking about that!
johnsbrewhouse Wow, that looks like it is a good selection! I love Barley-Wine but man do you have to be careful with them! Good job stashing them. Stone used to have their yearly special brew that would be bottled on a specific date of the year, like 01-01-2001, then 02-02-2002, etc., and I used to buy a case every year and put it in a basement meaning to creat a few packages to sell/giveaway. Never worked. I ALWAYS drank them within a few months! -
Some of the sweet stuff.

Surg never tried the Smoked Maple, how is it?

GWG8541 It’s pretty good but it really is very sweet. I’ve had this bottle for a bit and its taking a while to get through it because it’s kinda like a pancake in a glass. Hehe. It’s good every now and then though.

Surg I use it specifically for “Old Fashions” and use less syrup. I really like it for that purpose.

This week has sucked. We had to say goodbye to our dog on Tuesday. Second one in 3 years. I’ve been wanting to drink since Monday but I needed to be “there” for the family. Tomorrow I start back on the all work all the time thing so tonight is my chance. I found a use for an old beaker (don’t ask) and some oak kindling… of course it rained all day yesterday so I couldn’t get as much smoke as I wanted. Maybe the second or fourth glass…

badfire2625 We really need to support each other when our furry friends are concerned. I for one know that they truly are part of the family and sometimes are more supportive than the human counterparts. My heart is with you knowing my tears are still happening for more than 2 months. Just remember the good times and have that nice pour.

zbigjeff I completely agree. In fact, I was emailing with Jon about something else and we talked about it. I needed that so much. I was so busy being strong for the wife and kids that I wasn’t able to even talk about it for myself.
That said 13 years ago we were at a bowling fundraiser for Animal Friends when they brought this girl around for everyone to see. My first words were where do I sign. My second were when can I pick her up. I think it’s pretty obvious from my expression that it was love at first sight…

badfire2625 Brother!! I feel for you. Scarlett (picture below) is with me all the time (work, grocery shopping, church, football games etc…) so I dread the day we have to say goodbye. Raising my glass to you!!

Dr_Pain she is a beautiful girl.
Hardest part of having a pet. I won’t even start talking about my cat Baylee. Except to say that she got me through working at the World Trade Center and the death of my former partner from when I was a cop who was also my closest friend. She was there though every down time in that part of my life. At the end of hers, which was sudden and natural, I was stuck across the City in a class for work. She was there for me and I let her down. Ok. I’m done now. I can’t.

badfire2625 Hang in there, there’s a high pressure system on the horizon.

badfire2625 There are many times when we all need to stop and just realize what we have/had and feel blessed. Losing a furry or human friend is tough if that relationship meant something. We’re with you. Try and have a good rest of your day.

badfire2625 Always a very tough day. I have been through it a few times and it never gets easy and it shouldn’t. They have a special place in our lives. Eventually the hurt will ease and all the good memories will take over.

badfire2625 One night my wife and I did a stay cation at the big hotel in downtown Houston. We had gone to an Astros game and since all I had to do was walk 2 city blocks to get back to the hotel someone, maybe me, got really ripped at the game. Also that night a rockets game just ended and there was a convention going on as well. This hotel is in a prime location for all three buildings for people to converge. They were making smoked old fashion’s like no bodies business. The hotel lobby is huge, very open and at least 30’ ceilings. After a few hours of cranking them out it looked like a snoop dog concert. I about lost my cookies from the smell of the smoke. So naturally now I have an adverse affect when I smell those being made.

Alcohol induced gastric memories…Don’t get me started on my traumatic Southern Comfort experience.

HerbcoFood I wonder if they had made those smoked old fashion with some product containing THC if it would have had the same reaction. “Mary-J” is a known antiemetic (helps with nausea and vomiting in cancer patients) . Nevertheless this would definitely have settled the Snoop Dog moniker you put on the experience LOL!
