This eve is my ‘Friday’, a long 3 days at work. Just a few IPA’s my Sister got me from a U.P. of MI brewery. Some type of ‘Borealis’ from the Keweenaw Brewing Co, Houghtin, MI.

Started with a Summer Shandy, then we paired fresh beer batter walleye with an Alaskan Smoked Porter.

Finishing the evening with a Dram of High West Distillery's Campfire - a delicious Dram consisting of a blend of Rye, Bourbon and blended Scotch Whisky. Perfect for a cool night in the north woods while we listen to the loons.

Dad and I are battling it out for the weekend cribbage title . Sipping on Founder's Backwood Bastard, and Canadian Breakfast Stout. ABV, 11% . We will both take a nap soon.

Tonight its 10 year aged Whistle pig, I have not tasted anything smoother over 100 proof

Tonight it's Ardbeg 10.

Tonight.....Rebel Yell small batch bourbon.

A tall cold Stella Artois brew to go with my Memorial Day meal; a spaghetti with beef and sauce MRE. Beretta M9A1 for protection

Sam Adams draft from my kegerator.

Tonight will be a couple glasses of 19 Crimes shiraz. Don't know what to expect since I haven't had a shiraz.

If it sucks - I'll pour a Monkey Shoulder scotch.

Pikesville Rye, 110 proof, with just a couple drops of water. Usually not a fan of rye whiskey but had this at a tasting at the Heaven Hill Distillery last week and really like it.

Rittenhouse Rye.

The rye is very good.

I'm not so sure that any of that really needs protection.

Finished the last 3 oz of my Angel's Envy Bourbon and then rested for about 2 hours...broke open a new bottle of Crown Royal Vanilla which I have never had before and I can tell you that it was sweet and smooth!

Remembering the reason we mark Memorial Day.

Earlier, it was Stiegl Gold, my favorite lager. Now it’s Silk brand “Unsweetened” soy milk, laced with a goodly amount of Cholula Green Pepper hot sauce. Very addictive!

I see where Rebel Yell sells a blend of their bourbon and their rye whiskey mixed........I feel the need to check this out!!

Dow’s 10 yo tawny port. I used to think that Taylor Fladgate was the best 10 yo tawny, with the Dow’s a close second. The Taylor Fladgate is certainly the smoothest 10 yo tawny, but the slight edge of the Dow’s harbors an interesting complexity that I’ve come to appreciate. Now I buy the Dow’s and the Taylor Fladgate in equal quantities, and alternate bottles.

Crown royal and miller lite. Nothing fancy, but enjoyable.

Sierra Nevada Summerfest. Says it’s a Czech Pilsner but it’s a bit more than that in a good way.

Followed by a Sam Adams IPA. Nice summertime IPA that isn’t so hopped that all you taste is Pine tops.

Eagle Rare, and Col. EH Taylor BiB Small Batch. Last night was the Col. EH Taylor BiB Single Barrel, that was mighty fine.
