What are You Drinking RIGHT NOW? II

[Elton's BBQ]

Watching Jack Ryan and enjoying a glass of Californian Redwine..

[CHNeal]

My boiler tech ran out on his lunch break to go buy me this for my birthday! It’s not till next week but I am officially on vacation and won’t be back till after!
We were talking about it as he had some at a wedding this past weekend and knows I’ve drank a bit of Jim Beam over the years.
It’s real sweet for a Bourbon or Jack drinker but it’s tasty and a nice “ something different”. Guessing it was meant to be for college kids to mix and do shots of but I’m marinading ice cubes in it.

Oktoberfest at a local brewery.

[WayneT]

I don't know how many Belgian beer snobs there are here but who ever heard of a decent wine/beer store NOT carrying Westmalle Belgian Tripel? That's just not right and my local Total Wine just informed me of that piece of bad news.

[Washblue]

I’ll have to tell about my first Belgium beer experience.
I was by myself, walking around Brussels after arriving a few days early on a business trip.

I stayed close to the EU HQ, and only speak Appalachian-English. So I pull up to a sidewalk table and through the window, pointed to a nearby placard featuring a pink elephant!

I was thirsty and quickly had 3 rounds…

That was when I realized I had to sit at that table until the dizzies wore off!

Delirium Tremens was the name of that beer!

[WayneT]

Delirium is awesome. I think they have a seasonal beer that's about to come out again.

[Elton's BBQ]

Refreshingly Norwegian..
Cheers!

I tried my hand at an Espresso Martini…..I didn’t care for it though, as it was not really what I was looking for. Only had bailey’s for the liqueur and that was bleh! Ha. I need to make my own coffee saccharum and give it a try then, or find a good coffee liqueur.

[SheilaAnn]

Isn’t Kailua coffee liqueur?

[barelfly]

Yep, Kahlua is a coffee liqueur. I didn’t have any of that and also haven’t really enjoyed kahlua in the past. But, if I can find a small bottle, or perhaps my buddy has some I could try it for that.

[WayneT]

I'm not sure if it qualifies as a liqueur but I'm a huge fan of Patrone XO.

[CHNeal]

Sitting by the fire with my best gal!

[HawkerXP]

She's a peach!

[Whiskeyman53]

A weird tradition that we have, our first Oktoberfest beer of the season has to be on the day we close the pool. The picture is a few weeks old, I forgot to post it.

[CHNeal]

Hot cup of coffee on a chilly morning. Cooking a chicken for tonight and cleaning up Saturday nights mess that I was much too hungover to do yesterday!

[WayneT]

You and Jimmy B, eh?

[CHNeal]

@WayneT
He not only kicked my butt, the wife didn’t fair much better!

[Whiskeyman53]

7am wake up to smoke ribs for later tonight.
Coffee, strong coffee.....

[WayneT]

Finally!!!


Found some in Cary, NC while visiting my son and DIL.

[Jfrosty27]

So yummy. Enjoy my friend. 👍

[barelfly]

Oooooh! Trappist beer! It’s been years since I’ve had one of these!

[WayneT]

This is one of the best barelfly.

[Whiskeyman53]

Halloween night fire in the driveway waiting for the little ghosts and goblins . For the adult trick or treaters, apple brandy from a local winery.

[WayneT]

Well played!

[Fire Chicken]

Wife thought this would be a nice treat on our 20th anniversary.

[CHNeal]

A bit of Black Jack on the rocks while deciding on a first cook in my new Dutch oven.

[SheilaAnn]

CHNeal my tried and true recipe is from Marcella Hazan and the risotto Milanese on the next page. There are times I omit the gremolata and then regret it.

[Whiskeyman53]

You will love the Dutch oven, I have the Lodge double Dutch and it's awesome. I plan on using it outdoors over charcoal for the chili cook off, might be a good way to break it in.

[CHNeal]

Whiskeyman53 That was my plan as well but work is about to get in the way once again!

[Attjack]

Barrel aged tequila Old Fashioned.

[HawkerXP]

nice pic

[tmaan235]

Proper ice

[barelfly]

I need to give this a try…how is it? If you enjoyed it, I should because the other cocktails I’ve made from your list have been great, so if you like it….i should as well!
