Brew Day 1.21

[Toilet Rocker]

Ah, this is the life...

On the heels of accepting a new job on Friday, I am now outside brewing (yes, in the cold), sipping a drink, smoking a stogie, and both posting and watching 24 on the laptop. Despite the frozen fingers, I'd say this is the life.

Specifics:
24 is S3
Stogie is a Romeo and Juliet 1875 reserve robusto
Homebrewing a Belgian Tripel
Drinking a makers mark and water

Back to bliss...

Hope the new job is as good as what you're drinkin'.....sounds tasty.:rockin:

I'm addicted to 24. Season 6 is already crazy.
That sounds like an outstanding evening.

As soon as the boy goes to bed, the Maker's is getting opened.

People on this forum sure seem to love Maker's Mark. I remember awhile back there was a thread where everyone was putting it in their porters. If I recall, the general consensus was "shame on anyone who would even think of contaminating their beer with Jim Beam!"

My personal favorite is Woodford Reserve. But yes, I had bought Maker's for soaking the oak cubes that went into my imp stout.

Jim Beam holds a special place in my heart and I curse those who belittle such a swell bourbon. :cross:

The only whiskey I drink is in my whiskey sours--I can't drink hard liquor straight, it just hits the back of my throat wrong.

Seagrams 7 baby. :rockin:

...it just hits the back of my throat wrong.

If it weren't for the context, this would just be wrong.

I was worried that I set myself up for something. Thanks for going easy on me.

My dad and I did a blind taste test with Jim Beam and M.M. once. We both agreed that M.M. was very smooth, but that Jim Beam had more flavor and smelled a little better. We then proceeded to drink some of both and neither of us complained one bit about either bourbon.
