Been awhile since anyone posted here. Having a pint size bottle (16 oz, 500ml) of local craft Stout aged for a year in a bourbon barrel! 1 might be enough, check the alc content... it's yummy!!!

We have a similar Stout brewed in Chicago…. But at a “weak” 13.9 ABV. Goes quite nicely with a big bowl of chili.

I'm a member of a (mostly local) facebook group called Gear'n Beer, so I have lots of photos like this.

Most recent:

Dirty Bastard Scotch Ale (Founders Brewing, Grand Rapids MI, 8.5 abv), Peavey Triple XXX 40/EXP (40W 1x12, Meridian MS), Rickenbacker 620 (Santa Ana CA 1992):

Sláinte!
Mmmm both of those brews look fantastic!
While I drink most beers I too am a fan of local micro brewers, less so of generic filtered thru kidneys stuff like Coors Lite.

Yep, life's too short for :poo:e beer!

Cherie Les Paul Studio w Guinness.jpg

Gibson Les Paul Studio Doublecut, Guinness Extra Stout (St. James Gate, Dublin, 4.2 abv).

My band has a song called "St. James Gate." Hard to believe it took me like 30 years to write a proper drinking song. Its lyric content is kinda weird though. Based on my discovery that Irish religious pilgrims used to leave from St. James Gate to visit Catholic shrines in Spain, which I found an interesting juxtaposition.

Since I quit drinking in 1998, the Miller Brewing Company has changed ownership three times.

The president of Jose Cuervo personally called me and said, “C’mon, I got a mortgage and two kids in college—YOU CAN’T DO THIS TO ME!


I drank enough between 1984-1998 (14-28 years old) to last me until 2054, when I’ll be 84…my liver will have caught up by then.
I quit cold-turkey.
I had to learn how to do certain things sober (like playing a gig).
I wasn’t the type of drinker that was sitting there shaking because I “had to have a drink”, I just drank too much and got stupid and lazy when I drank, so I quit.

My playing improved and it saved my marriage. I’m so happy (proud?) that my daughter has never seen me drunk.

But I don’t care if other people drink around me.

I have posted this photo before in different threads.

Back story...... When my eldest was in college.... graduated 2001.... the Frat he was in threw a party. Imagine that. Theme of the party was to bring a six pack of the cheapest beer you could find. There was the usual Schlitz, PBR, Red White & Blue.... etc. But the guy that won came in with this stuff. Not sure he spent 3 bucks on it. Guess it was really bad but was all gone before the night was over. Also.... imagine that. :pound-hand:
