With lime as the Spanish and Mexicans intended? Seville sour orange if you’re short on limes.

 

Wb

Negative.  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.

My advice: Given the choice of the above or nothing: “Stay thirsty my friend” (the most interesting man in the world). 🥃🍺🍸

Rum is my least favorite alcohol ... i’ll drink a Corona if I’m at someone’s house or an event and that is what they have; but, i don’t buy that for myself. 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.

Rum is the only alcohol I drink; although what passes for rum these days...

 

Cuban rum is best, but may also be liquid hangover.

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.

Well then you need to visit the Great White North:) I'd advise going in the summer, you know less snow, warmer weather for beer drinking.

would love to hang out there for a while -- when there isn’t snow.  Spent a winter looking at Canada quite a bit ... icebreaker i was on spent the winter tying up in Sault Ste. Marie. Going up and down the St. Mary’s River and well ... Canada is right there.

when i was in that area, i lived on the boat ... didn’t have a car then, so when we’d go out it was to places within walking distance of where the boat was tied up. 

the second time i lived in michigan was in grand haven which is much further south than the Soo.  

someday i’d like to vacation in that area again and see the old sites ... @DizRotus owes me a beer next time I’m in Grand Haven.

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.

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.

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.

used to get schooners from this mexican dive in the port of long beach.  glasses of beer the size of a baby’s head. 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.
