What are you drinking, 2023…and 2024?

Hudson, have you tried this one?

I’m tempted to talk to my guy at Spec’s and see if he can get a bottle.

I think that’s the only rum that could have gotten Jobu to wake up our bats.

I would have poured it on the floor if that’s what was needed

I have had R.L. Seale, but not this particular rum. I will look to give it a go. They don’t seem to carry it at Specs or Total Wine, so it may take some searching.

While not the Equipoise, I found this Foursquare at my Specs in SA. I hadn’t encountered it over the last few months of perusing their inventory. Very tasty, and quite the handful as it comes in at 120 proof. The last point certainly helped cause my earlier misfire.

Speaking of Foursquare…I could not find the Epiquoise, but I picked up this year’s release, the “Magisterium”, yesterday. Gonna crack it open after I finish typing this post. It’s 116 proof, in case you’re wondering.

Pogo’s up in Dallas usually has a great selection of spirits, although that’s still up in Dallas. Houston Wine Merchant is more local and they often can get their hands on things most other shops can’t.

Alternatively, there’s a bottle available at Bottle Barn in Santa Rosa. That’s about an hour away from me here in Napa or thirty minutes from the winery up in St. Helena. Happy to grab it if you’re keen and ship to you (it’s an excuse to browse what they have in store which is usually better than what’s online).

Or I can ask my local spirits shop, Lawlers. The amount of alcohol they sell is obscene, which means they have relationships with distributors that are perhaps slightly unethical or at least more than a bit enviable.

I just got an Email from Fine Disregard wine that my order has been shipped. I’m pretty pumped.

Same. Were you also offered a million dollars to write a glowing review?

I was, and $2 million for two reviews.

And three reviews gets you $3m.

Thanks, you two!! Kara and I really appreciate the support.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned, but Altstadt’s Schwarzbier is tasty. Don’t typically drink alone at 2:30 on a random Thursday but had to try one after I got back from HEB.

There’s no shame whatsoever in an afternoon drink. Especially on a random Thursday.

Oh no, I’m pretty shameless. I guess it’s not that random, had to get my brisket queso and beverages for the Texans game tonight. Now I need the clock to move faster.

That’s a great local beer (from Fredericksburg).
I like where your head is, Lefty.

Enjoy the beer, the queso and game.

I have been avoiding beer since May. Got dome relatively good news on the medical front. Gonna drink a few tonight. What is a good low carb beer?

Select beer from the dropdown toward the top.

Browse away!

From what I remember from a friend, if you’re not drinking spirits your best bets in the beer world are light lagers and “session” IPAs. I recall him drinking Amstel and Heineken and Lone Star Lights when he drank beers, this has been a while ago and I’m sure there’s better stuff on the market these days.

Woof.
