Not saying that it’s a bad thing, just not something that i do. Never was one of those lime and salt and a shot guys. I’ll do a shot; but all i need is the tequila. Now this Avion 44 Extra Anejo cost me $150 for a bottle so I think i shall sip on it instead of doing shots. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve pretty much settled on Molson Canadian being my beer of choice, i will also occasionally buy Guinness Draught or Bitburger -- oh and I love Harp on tap. For decades it was Moosehead; but, Molson beat them for first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Rum is the only alcohol I drink; although what passes for rum these days... Cuban rum is best, but may also be liquid hangover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In high school was bacardi 151 ... about 10 years ago, i was at a poker game at my brother in laws house and had some Captain Morgan -- don’t know where that ranks on the rum chain of command; but ... i’m not a fan of it.

WillyBob Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 the country was crippled y'all have any experience with Aussie brews? First time there, I tried a bunch. Hard to remember who was who. I did enjoy Power's Bitter. Last time, I don't even remember if or what brand. All I ordered was a schooner. And glad I wasn't driving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any time. The Tip-A-Few is calling. The 2020 Coast Guard Festival is July 24 - August 2. You’d be a guest of honor. We can hit the Legion too. A friend of mine on 5th Street hosts a big party. Stay with us in Birmingham and we’ll go to GH. https://www.coastguardfest.org/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 thanks neil ... i’ll have to keep that in mind. that would be fun and after the year i just had it would be nice to get my brother out on a road trip. legion used to throw the CG a dinner during the festival. if i’m able to swing a trip like that, i’d also want to go see the only legitimate ship that should have the name Mackinaw. It’s a museum in Mackinaw City area i believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was back in the day that you could have a drink at lunch and go back to work without getting into trouble. closest i’ve been to an aussie place is eating dinner at the Outback Steakhouse and drinking a Fosters ... that’s australian for beer so the commercial says; but, i hear that the locals don’t drink it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
