Tip up an extra glass today to remember December 5th, 1933, the ratification of the 21st:

Well then picking up this 132.5 proof Stagg Jr. tonight was rather timely. You know when you take a drink of this - it lights up your mouth and belly - in a good way!

I bought a bottle of Founder's CBS today, Prost!

I didn’t really need all that extra enabling, but I’ll be more than happy to double up on the nightly Glendronach. Cheers!

Funny, had Glendronach last night as well.

As for beer,
Prohibition was disaster for small breweries across the nation. Large breweries managed to survive making baking products but the local micro breweries to the smallest brewers had no choice but to close.

Now days people are aghast at the number and variety of small breweries serving locals. This is the way it was before prohibition in the U.S.

The behemoths Bud, Miller, Coors, etc. were the result of prohibition. And since then, they did their best to keep control distribution and commercialization.

Tonight, I had a few pale ales at a tiny brewery w/ no more than 8 tables and 8 spots at the bar. Each "Covered Bridge" pale ale was better than anything BMC ever offered.

For food they had a list of ph# for local joints that would deliver. It doesn't get smaller or more local than that.

Yep, exercise your constitutional right!
