Drink of Choice

We have a great historical park in town called Carrillon Park. They have a brewery constructed to make beer the old way as part of the parks living history and education. Last night the wife and I had dinner there and had a few beers, before walking the 65 acre park to look at Christmas lights. I had their Spruce Ale seasonal and man was it good. I forget the exact ABV, but it was about 8 to 9 %. It was brewed with real Spruce tips. I did not take pics of the beer I drank, but did take a few inside while they were brewing a Wit Beir. The big kid working in the white shirt is our youngest son.
View from our table during dinner.
GWG8541 that looks like a fun place to visit and work at!

So when you make and break 9 batches of Peanut Brittle, you have a nice amount of crumbs. We ussually keep them and sprinkle then on ice cream.
I had a thought, which can be dangerous at times. Why not use the crumbs in an Old Fashioned instead if sugar. After all, the crumbs are basically caramelized sugar with peanut essence.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Peanut Brittle Old Fashioned. You saw it here first.
GWG8541 Sounds good & looks good too, I can just taste that hint of peanut & caramel on my tongue.

Tex_77 Have seen that setup (without the perm fire ring) among many of my camper buds. But, this setup can be used at the household year round. Congrats

GWG8541 It’s not a terrible drink, but for me just one or two after a meal then I need the real brown water.

HerbcoFood jogged my memory and I pulled this out of the basement tonight. Great over ice, but has to be sipped or its an early night. Only 50 proof, but goes down like cool-aid.

GWG8541 It being only 50 proof is it pretty sweet then?

GWG8541 we did a moonshine sampler at Ole Smoky Moonshine in Gatlinburg. Wr got to sample about 16 different shines. I walked out of there a little wobbly!

HerbcoFood very sweet. More like a mixed drink. Over crushed ice it is dangerous
