The following is a series of emails about the 2014 Whisky Jewbilee (and other sundry topics) between myself and Limpd… _________________________________________ G-LO: Whew! Looks like we dodged another bullet. I thought for sure that baseball and softball schedules would interfere with our latest NYC Whisky Excursion! While I […]
Recently, in an effort to expand my beer horizons, I had G-LO over to debate the merits of smoked beers. I had picked up two beautiful bottles from Brauerei Heller-Trum / Schlenkerla. The first was the Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Urbock which I found to be fantastic. The second is the […]
The following conversation occurred 4 weeks ago… Mrs. Limpd: Hey! Do you still have that Apple Bourbon stuff? Let’s give it a try. G-LO: You can try it, but only if you take some tasting notes. Mrs. Limpd: Don’t you ever just drink to drink? G-LO: Of course I […]
After my recent foray into a blueberry beer with the Wachusett Blueberry Ale, I picked up another one to see if my impressions were the same. I selected a bottle from Fegley’s Brew Works; partly for the name, the Blueberry Belch and partly for the pretty graphics on […]
The other night, I was feeling a little peckish. Rather than grab a box of Oreos, I pulled out a bottle of Chocolate Stout. I am a big fan of Samuel Smith’s (love the Oatmeal Stout and the Winter Welcome; and the Benevolents enjoy the Organic Apricot Ale) and […]
By Jove they’ve done it again! Yet another Single Barrel release by The Balvenie, but this time around, they’ve gone the Sherry butt route. Here’s what the distillery has to say about this expression: The Balvenie’s 15 year old Single Barrel Sherry Cask has been matured exclusively in […]
While in Cape Canaveral, Florida. I found a need for liquid refreshment and turned to the Liquor store next to the local Publix. As I have noted a number of times, I don’t really do any research and usually select a bottle based on its label art and name; the prettier the bottle […]
A while ago, G-LO came over with his boys. While they scampered around the yard, G-LO and I took up our post on The Barthenon (I mean as good parents keeping a watchful eye over our children, where else would we go?). Anyway, we sat around the table […]
So it’s 11:30PM on a Saturday night and I just woke up from a 2.5 hour nap to find that Mrs. G-LO and the boys were fast asleep. A normal person would have thrown in the towel and gone back to sleep, but there’s a part of me […]
With the warm weather hitting us hard, I was looking for something a little more refreshing than my typical bottle of stout. Not one to shy away from fruited beer, I picked up a bottle of Wachusett’s Blueberry Ale. I’ve had other blueberry beers (the Bar Harbor comes to […]
