Curious in Cancun...
You've been doing this schtick since 2003?
Oy vey
I've been sober since 1978, but I still crave a good bitter or forest brown ale. A good european lager is drinkable, but there are damned few American lagers or pilsners that can tempt me at all. (Killian's Red Irish Lager before Anheiser Busch bought them out, was one. Henry Rheinhardt's Private Reserve Dark was another.)There's much more to beer than lager.

Wistful for whiskey.

I'm being a fan of rosé wine lately, mainly because it's chilled and light for hot days. Tends to go with almost anything I eat, too.

Usually red wines, but recently I discovered a yummy raspberry Kölsch at the local gourmet pizza/brewery. They only make it for summer, so I've been imbibing with a growler to go.
But which fella do you jones for? Johnnie Walker (black label, of course)? Jim Beam? Jack Daniels? Or is it no J at all?!
Also, your new (to me) sig.... yet another sign that you're after my own heart. I lurve Parker. I actually used that quote (cited, of course) in a story I wrote, once upon a time...
I can growl with the best of them, and I even know what raspberry Kölsch is, but in this context I have no idea what a growler is.Edumacate me?

She is very quotable, I would have loved to have hung out with her.
Looking at your locale, you may have tasted the Kölsch I'm talking about. A growler is a jug of beer, a 1/2 gallon to be exact. You can get it on tap to go, I think they sell smaller sizes to go too.
I wash my growler out and have it refilled.
*sigh* Maybe someday we can take a bottle of Glenlivet on a time travel trip and be Algonquin round table groupies together. My hairdo would be a total "in," and I just know they'd be all over "all kinds of stupid." *nod nod*
Optimist at the Oppenheimer,
Ellie
I haven't tasted it, but I'm aware of it. As for growlers, well... that brings stingingly to home just how much of a beer drinker I'm... not. I had no idea that there was anywhere in my region one could get tap beer to go. Holy cow. Thank you!
