No. They don't look like floating turds.
Or a holiday week for those of us that don’t have to work tomorrow or Friday either...Quote:

^ Funny as Hell KW, I just cracked a Hoegaarden. Its a GREAT go to beer. I always stock 8 to 12 of them with a host of others.
I have my chicken thighs marinating in a garlic/Pepper/Teriyaki mix for the Q tonight. While I enjoyed that Aberfeldy Scotch I have to say it was very smooth but a little bland at 40% ABV. I will have to dig into my Whiskey/Bourbon collection. I have a KaVaLan Single Malt Whiskey Cask strength i picked up in Taiwan that is 57.2% ABV. :)
Spooky.Quote:

Solid glass - stick em in the freezer and they keep the beer cold nicely - I'm scared of dropping the big ones - probably get a fractured foot.
I decided to open up a local purchase. I am not a JD fan of say old #7 but this single barrel select cask strength is a good pour. Tonight was an oddly beautiful night. Slight breeze, mild temp. I relaxed by the pool and watched the lightning flash across the valley.

That looks the spot!
^^ What l'd give for a proper drink.
I don't much care for bourbon but a double malt would really hit the spot right now. After the shitest of shit days the Ja Dong just doesn't do the job.
Cheers Mendy!

I understand on Bourbon Mendy, it's an acquired taste for sure. From your posts, you had a helluva day and you needed a drink you could enjoy and laugh about it all. Right after I posted the pic above we got hammered by damn near gale force winds and heavy rain with some lightning and Thunder that rattled windows. After it blew by it just rained all night. I guess my weedwhacking, mowing and dirt moving is on hold yet again. I hate shoveling mud.Quote:

this is really nice - and I scored the bottle for $65 oz
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2021/05/781.jpg
An interesting shade of blue. $65 is a good price, have you tried it yet? What does it taste like?
I initially read that and said WTF.......$65 an ounce. What the hell is it...... :rofl:Quote:

Saw this beer in CM and picked up a few. Quite good.
Nice session ale.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2021/06/46.jpg
^^ 8.9% beer.
NPT will be green with furious envy. :)
I know. Only has to drink 8 of them versus 16. Saves a helluva a lot trips to the bathroom which leaves more time for polluting TD :)Quote:

Another week endured.
I'm sitting here in my boxer shorts and the sweat is just pouring off... and it's 6:30pm. I asked my wife why anyone would possibly live in Isaan if they didn't have to... her answer was to go off for a drink with her friends.
I've been here before... over Dan's near 15 years we've sat together through many nights. The other dogs are in the gardener's kitchen enjoying the cooling fan but Dan gets me. She sits outside and keeps me company.

I listened to a radio programme today about mental health issues resulting from the Covid lockdowns. Try living in Isaan I thought to myself... my entire life is in lockdown yet I stay completely fukkin normal.
Hey Mendy, what does your wife drink? Don't tell us some top shelf mixed cocktail. :rofl:Quote:

Did my yard work this morning and stopped by our lime trees and picked off a few for a Tequila night to go with my tacos.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2021/06/90.jpg
While I am waiting to prep my Taco stuff, I cracked open a BeerLao White as I caught up on the TD fun. BTW, The beer is surprisingly good. I had never had one before. Would definitely buy it again.
Another interesting drink. Cheers!

Yes, I know it's the wrong glass... oh well.

Cheers KW.
I am a little upset i didn't buy 3 or so of those BeerLao. I bought one to try it.
^^ I bought 12 of those to try.Quote:

Did add 6 Erdingers, 3 of the 8.9 Oettinger Fortes, 6 of the Maisel's Weisse, 3 Kaiserdom Hefe, 4 Deschutes IPA and 1 GODDAMN BeerLao White...:rofl:Quote:

I just laugh and say "Honey, I bought you one of the raspberry Spy whatever you call them things and that's what making all the noise". :)
Classic. Reminds me of this ole advertisement when I was growing up.Quote:

You know what I love the most.....When I am unloading the cart the teller is beeping them through. My wife starts to spit her phone number for the discount or points and the lady tells her "It doesn't apply to alcohol". I still after all these years do not understood why everything is just called alcohol. In the states we differentiate. That's a Beer, That's Bourbon, That's wine. Here everything is just alcohol. I think its because of all the Ya Donger's and Lao Khao makers. Maybe we should defer to Mendy on this.....:) Mendy?????

Just a guess, like. :D
