    Dude. Julius,...mmmmmmmm

    What a business model. We don't ship the beer to you, we make you come to the beer,... and we do it gladly.

     

    Damn. I didn't realize I started liking it because of my age. Thanks, jerk.

    It is crazy that it works so well. It’s nice living only a hour away. I’m get the King today

  2. For me Alaska. I was there for a training exercise when I was in the Navy so I got paid to spend the month of May their in 2017. It was just beautiful and I want to go back. I also got to spend a month in Key West for a training exercise which was nice. I recommend the Hemingway way house if you go there.

    North Americans, yes.  United States of Americans, no.

    People from the US are often referred to as Americans.  People from Canada are not.  These are true facts.

    Have you ever gone across the boarder saying you’re American. The Canadians get pissy about it.

    Keith Tkachuk was born and raised in America and as I said, is probably one of the five best Americans to ever play hockey. He is American, his sons are American, his wife is American, and his daughter is American. The Tkachuk’s are American and will go down as America’s greatest hockey family. 

    The common denominator is that in both instances Tkachuk laid big hits and the other player got pissy. He’s done a lot of punk things, but you literally haven’t brought any of them up. The incident you referred to in the original post I replied to was done by Brady Tkachuk. Either Tkachuk would immediately be our second best player and would likely be most Sabres fans favorite player. 

    You do know that Canadians are also American.

    Went back through the first pages of this thread to relive the twists and turns.  Holy cow does this stick out.

    My how things have changed since 2011.  Rip Van Winkle is aka Pappy 10yr.  $6 a glass.  At a bar.  Triple or quadruple that today.  If you can find it.  Ahhh.. the good old days.

    I had it in 2017 and it was $35. It can be found now but that’s a pretty standard price from what I have seen. The 12 YO was $40. I am happy I tried it but I think their is better for less than half the cost.

    Had a new to me pour today.  Whistle Pig Farmstock Rye.

    I've had Whistle Pig in the past, but not this bottling.  It is a limited bottling, whatever that is.  The brand was a bit maligned when it first came out, not because of the quality of the liquid, but because its story didn't match reality.  Their advertising made claims of being a small, craft distiller of locally sourced ingredients, but the reality was they were sourcing their distillate from large suppliers.  Not unlike Templeton Rye claiming to be a craft whiskey when they were buying their juice from the largest producer of rye whiskey in the world.

     

    But amid the controversy, Whistle Pig whiskey was praised as good stuff.  Maybe overpriced, but solid.  I had mine neat.  This one is 86 proof, a bit lighter than I usually prefer.  It had a sweet, bourbon-y nose.  Caramel and vanilla.  On the tongue the sweetness was just as apparent.  Not a typical rye so far.  Nice viscosity, and subtle barrel notes.  The finish surprised me.  Usually ryes are pepper and spice on the finish, with a bit of grassiness mixed in.  This one had hints of that grassieness, but cinnamon dominated the finish.  A delicious, sweet cinnamon. 

    I had this one at a nearby wine bar.  I'm not sure of the bottle cost, but a double pour at the wine bar was $13.  Pretty tolerable for what it was.  I'd buy it again.

    It’s about $75 a bottle right now. I agree that’s it’s good but a tad overpriced.
