The wife just got over a nasty cold last week but she sat through the game until the 50/50 raffle number was announced. Before we left she demanded a hot toddy when we got home. I made us a couple of Keurig decaffs generously laced with brandy. Sweet dreams.
She's Polish, stoically staring defeat in the face is in her DNA. She's Polish, liquor while stoically staring defeat in the face makes everything better.
Speaking of scotch ales (well, at least I was), just cracked open a super fresh bottle of Founders Backwoods Bastard. Somehow, I enjoy the regular version (Dirty Bastard) of this beer more than this (the barrel aged version) but I buy/drink this every year because it's goddamn delicious and 'rare' (lol, they'll have it Binny's for the next 4 months and I'm sure there's a corner liquor store somewhere nearby that still has last year's version) and I'm a sucker. $15 a 4 pack but it's 11.4% abv so in addition to tasting good it'll help me forgot that my favorite soccer team hasn't won shit in a long time relatively quickly. Cheers!

Rebel Yell bourbon about 5 shots worth. I would post a picture but, can't figure out google images links.
Well I've had enough Rebel Yell Whiskey to know I've had enough but, too much to delete the pervious post. Stuff is good enough to get you drunk and make the Orville funny
"It did not go well," when referring to Malört, generally means that was a rousing success. Well done, sir. If they liked it, then it is spreading the word about Malört. If they hated it, then more for you. Also, if they hated it, are they reeeeealllly "fine folks" then?
They hated it, but the word has spread. Nobody will let me buy them shots anymore. Refusing free shots. That's a first for this town. So, what is happening now is they are buying shots for their friends and family just for the reaction. Typically, younger folks just make the predictable face, and simply hate it. Older folks do the same, but get angry, which, for folks who drink more before 12pm before others drink before 12am is never good. That aftertaste, tho. I've never had anyone lick my shirt to rid their tongue of it.
The picture was a bit blurry, but I was going to ask if that guy was licking your shirt. That is a successful first shot of Malört. It could be their commercial.
Just bought a sixer of Schlafly Pumpkin Ale and a barrel aged version of same, because pumpkin beer is awesome and we've already decided that as a group, and I noticed the bottle caps on the Ale itself have the StLFC logo on them. I know that when I was in Indy a few years ago, the Eleven had a branded brew (Full 90 Pale Ale?) that I enjoyed while watching some soccer- once the Heineken sponsorship of MLS is up, would love to see teams given the green light to work with local breweries on their own branded brews. In the interim, I'm drinking Pipeworks "Cold Toddy" because Pipeworks makes high gravity beers that don't taste like much else, even if they sometimes don't taste very good, either. This one is okay, and 11%, so, you know, it'll suffice.
Sold something across the street from a liquor store and Harold's Chicken. Guy said this had a gold medal or something. I just want to warm up from the walk and get a bit drunk
