Quoted from Green-Machine:Is this a Craft Beer thread
No, it's the Absinthe thread.
Quoted from DBLM:I just found out that I did not win this quarter's draw, either.
Total bullshit this crap is rigged!

Is that a corn cob?
Fuckity fuck fuck. White Sox just lost and are out of the playoffs. Cheers to a great season and a bright future (and all the cash they won me for being unexpectedly good that will be rolled into either a pin or bourbon). I’m gonna be here all night to drown my sorrows. Here’s my craft beer moment, copious whiskey to follow.
2D6FF105-F077-4F7A-BAE0-CF68D3886970 (resized).jpegI happened to flip to Fox at 9 tonight and they had a special called Let’s Be Real. By Robert Smeigal on SNL fame. They had these awesome puppets that skewered everybody. Trump, Biden, Matt Lauer, etc. Was pretty damn funny and there were no sacred cows. Highly recommend folks catching it on demand if that is your thing.
If you like South Park, this is funny as shit. No spoilers, but in the first 10 mins we learn where COVID cums from. Completely legit, and now everything makes sense.

I’ll try to watch the replay in an hour. If not I’m recording it. They always knock it out of the park. (Bad pun alert)

Oh my god, this is so fucking funny! this is hitting everything from the summer. Also, we find out where Corona cums from! Not where I thought 10 minutes ago.
Edit: they just aired a Biden ad in the commercial break. I thought it was a spoof but it was not.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Well it's humpday right?[quoted image]
That’s the old label of EC right, my Dad had one many many years ago we finished and that’s when I first had EC. So then forward years later and he had that Rock Hill Farm bottle which we opened late last year and just about done.
Quoted from Green-Machine:Is that a corn cob?
Well hell yes it's a corn cob! It's a special edition some kind of profits from the sale go to help struggling Farmers or something
It's been a shit week!!!
Attended the funeral today of a good workmate of 18 years and i was determined to go to the bottlo, buy some Bookers (one of my favs of many years) and have a few drinks to celebrate his life! Unfortunately they tell me that it isn't stocked anymore 
and i guess i wanted to buy the most expensive i could get. Next choice was some form of Rare Breed Turkey, which i seem to recall seeing different bottles of on this thread. Never been a big fan of Turkey so i passed on that, next costly was something called Legend, never tried it but didn't like the sound of the description. It was going to be between a regular Blantons or Makers 46. I haven't tried the latter but i do like the regular Makers. So here i stand sipping the first glass sorta neat (with ice) and remembering good times with mates.
Cheers All!!

Enjoy the drink and the memories of the good times. Always sucks losing a friend but at least you have your liquid sidekick there with you. That game looks great also by the way!

Thanks mate and yeah doing so. I guess we're all getting to that age where it's getting closer. I'm 52 and my workmate was only a couple of years older. Look, don't want to bring the joyous tone of the thread down but i guess i've been reflecting on the word "Appreciation"..of great mates and sharing a great drink.
Cheers yeah 
BOP was the first machine i bought and was in a sorry state for about 7 years (but still playable). It has since had a totally balls and all restore and such a beautiful machine to look at, and more importantly play. I love it so much i may even consider leaving a note in my will to be buried in it

I think it is time for a Pinside intervention.

If you honestly want a decent light beer that's better than the commercial stuff

It's all good, @mancave. As numerous of us have said drunkingly said on zooms, this is actually the most wholesome and supportive thread and group of people here on Pinside. Just don't let that word get out. Having just gone through loss myself here this summer, I fully concur that you send up a toast in remembrance and appreciation, not grief. Warm wishes, my friend.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Well one of my favorite store owners hooked me up today I absolutely love this shop and she is such a good person also.

Quoted from TKDalumni:Of course I just started sober October (don’t ask :-/) and I was fortunate enough to get these. Oh well...should make for one helluva November 1st!!

Man I want that barrel proof Taylor. Very nice score!
Quoted from djreddog:$299 a good price for the barrel proof Taylor?
I would think that is a really really high price.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:I would think that is a really really high price.
I’ve never seen it before in Delaware but one place has it for $299.
Quoted from djreddog:I’ve never seen it before in Delaware but one place has it for $299.
Don't get me wrong I would pay a premium for it because I've been looking for that bottle for many years now but $300 is way too high for that bottle. Of course if you want it and you're okay with paying $300 for it there's nothing wrong with that either.
Quoted from djreddog:$299 a good price for the barrel proof Taylor?
That’s about 2x’s retail. But like all of these limited releases good luck finding them...It’s damn good stuff though!!

Which do you like better the Weller or the Taylor full proof?
Quoted from djreddog:$299 a good price for the barrel proof Taylor?
It’s skyrocketing on secondary. $400 + now. It’s very good but it has no business being 400-450. Those are GTS prices.

EHT FP !!
Another dispatch from Hilton:
Mushing across Siberia using the northern lights in search of the mythical red waxen seal. After several days and several nights, I find it. Heavy on the vanilla front end. Baking spices and caramel on the back end. A little throat burn but expected for 110proof. The nose is VERY sweet. I like the front and back but not the middle. This is one that will probably upset my stomach with too much. Kind of astringent in belly. It is unique (what they are going for with these) in a good way overall.
Also, I am making an offering to the harvest moon in order for her to grant me luck in the upcoming BTAC lottery. Heavily considering cutting my hair a la a certain podcaster in case it will improve my odds of winning. It is a drastic action, but it is for William Larue Weller. Decisions, decisions.

I don't need an excuse to get a new bottle, but it's always nice to have a reason. Tonight I celebrate my 46th trip around the sun. I don't keep a bottle of Kentucky Spirit in the permanent rotation, but when I saw this store pick I had to get it. It came from a store that has pulled some of the best barrels I've ever tasted from multiple distilleries. Cheers!

Happy birthday, @beergut666!
Quoted from DBLM:Happy birthday, beergut666!
Thanks! Sticking with Turkey picks and adding in a glass of what may be the best beer on the planet.
IMG-0494 (resized).jpgQuoted from Chisox:My man! Happy b-day brother! I’m going Master’s Keep in your honor (and Gen X from last week).
Edit: I tried to balance my glencairn on the records and it was a near disaster.

Thanks man, always happy to lift a glass with an old punk. I'm changing directions. This Bowman Brothers is pretty tasty. I prefer this to the port finished bottle, but would love to get my hands on another John J single barrel.

Let me know what you need and I will hook you up. We have it everywhere out here since it is based in VA.
Quoted from Chisox:Mail call! 1997 Wild Turkey 101. Cheers!

Hey man i'm curious are these old bottles you are single handedly cornering the market on completely different than the same current bottle that is out like Tj posted?
