Lean in you monsters. Show me your worst. Pictures not discouraged.
I'll add a Old Fashioned later this eve.

1. Anderson Valley Blood Orange Gose by the pool post ride at around 11:00.
2. Founders All Day IPA with lunch on the patio.
3. The Blueprint IPA with guava watching a movie on the couch.
4. St. Bernardus Prior 8 watching the news.
5. Up next: Concrete Beach Sola IPA (local brewery)

It's been a day. At this rate I'm going to get fat and my wife is going to kill me (not because I'll be fat).

We got a insider trading tip from a neighbor. biermi.com is a local invention. They are linking local breweries for home delivery and pickup. BRILLIANT.

Count us as proud owners of a case of Dad Hat from Respite Brewery and it's not so bad ;)
All your dad's favorite hops in one tasty IPA! Pairs great with rope hats and calf-high tube socks. Oh--and don't forget the sandals! Whirlpooled w/ Centennial & Warrior, double dry hopped w/ Centennial, Warrior & Citra.

Rode my bike to Caboose today and came home with a four pack of their new IPA in my saddle pack. Need to make sure they stay in business during this nonsense.

The 13 year old Hirsch Pinot Noir is the most enjoyable California Pinot I've ever had with dinner.
If you ever run across any, it is worth your while indeed.

Woah. I have everything to make that. You are a Prince. Holy moley that looks good. Will report back later.

Mark W. > I've been hanging onto a 1/2 case of gorgeous wine we hauled back from France a long long time ago. Time to see wake it from a long nap. I like your style.

Batter up.

Had to do a minuscule test run before a couple friends arrive and sit 6 feet away.

I've got one bottle of the Elisian left. Hmmm

Todd, look both ways when you cross the street. Just keep em' coming.

D@mn near (hick) polished off a bottle of Bombay Sapphire Gin. Oy those Rosemary Fitzgeralds will be the death of me. That's a repeat.
Looking for solid recommends for a pure Agave Tequila that is not squeezed from the cheeks of blushing angels feel me?

[Mark Walberg]

I'm not a tequila fan, but back when I worked in a liquor store, the Herradura seemed to be liked a lot.

Thanks and understood. A house guest left us a bottle of pure agave somethingsomethingexpensive which we put in the freezer. Gotta say one frozen shot of that is quite nice.

Visited Tequila, MX. It's an hour NW of Guadalajara. Quaint little town with some nice offerings.
This is not bad:

If that can't be had, Don Julio 70 is pleasant.

Just don't be caught mixing it with anything but a lime.

Thanks Rick. Rest easy, we would not do that. It is more likely the Don Julio will be available...dang it. I'll let you know what we find. Help a Vsalon brother out...is it heresy to put the bottle in our freezer and pour neet shots? We like that.

[Ras72]

As for that Old Fashioned...
In a beaker, stir some form of your favorite rye, whiskey, bourbon, etc. a couple dashes of your favorite bitters.
A few drops of juice from this stuff:

Pour into a heavy base whiskey glass that's fresh from the freezer. Zest from an orange.

Keep it in the frig. Freezer is too cold. I have some heavy copper shot glasses I like to serve. Seems to make it a bit more enjoyable to sip it neat.
