Today we celebrate the repeal of the 18th amendment, the return of our freedom to drink.

Whether or not you tipple, take a moment to recognize those who fought to defeat the Antis of the day. Their victory is written into the Law of the Land.

And if you do partake, raise a glass today especially. Cheers!]]> The Speakeasy Fri, 05 Dec 2008 19:32:05 GMT http://brothersofbriar.forumotion.com/the-speakeasy-f17/happy-repeal-day-t3195.htm#35273 http://brothersofbriar.forumotion.com/the-speakeasy-f17/happy-repeal-day-t3195.htm http://brothersofbriar.forumotion.com/the-speakeasy-f17/whiskey-t3079.htm Aaron
I am looking for a good sipping whiskey, I have a very childish sweet tooth so something that tastes sweeter would be really nice.

Catch hell for this from my Montana in laws all the time. Ice cold from a BOTTLE,,,,,,,,,,,,no damned aluminum cans. Start by pouring it down the side of a "beer" glass. In one fluid motion, tilt the glass upright and pour the beer down the center. BEST when downed like iced tea. The goofy in laws like to salt the tops of their beer cans and put em in those funky rubber things to keep em cold. Oh, yeah! The beer should be dark too. None of that transparent ...

Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered.

Well, I am glad that they were running the special that prompted me to give it a try. It is a very good whiskey for the money IMHO. It is even sealed with a cork which is pretty rare today, especially in the cheaper offerings. Ezra Brooks has the classic woodsy notes with a very slight fruitiness and a perfect balance of sweetness. ...
