TNL Pub 2010

Rogue John John - Hazelnut aged in rum barrels.
A bit tart on the start, creamy mouthfeel, finish is very long - all coffee and nuts. I like it. It's limited, but it'd work nice for fall if we can get it. 5%

Abita - Andygator
A bit on the sweet side - not quite a dessert beer - nice aromatics in the nose. Like the Rogue a nice nutty finish. For $5 22oz this is a great value on a high grav offering. 8%

Mikkeller Beer Geek Brunch is next. I had the Breakfast last weekend and thought it was very nice. I guess this one is brewed with Civet coffee - Weird.

Nice try Zarflax. This isn't food.

Flight and tix for the Great American Beer Fest in Denver confirmed. This will be awesome.

This is fucking exceptional.

So we're only planning on stocking one type of each liquor. We want to stock things that we think are a good bang for the buck and not the normal offering. IE no Bacardi or Smirnoff. Not being much of a drinker, this is the best I could come up with.

Gin - Cardinal Gin*
Tequila - Espolon, blanco and reposado varieties.
Vodka - Firefly Straight*
Spiced Rum - Kraken
Bourbon - Buffalo Trace
Moonshine - Dark Corner Distillery*

Various outlier liquors - Canton, Midori, Chambord, Gran Marnier, etc.

We need a Tennessee Whiskey, a Scotch, a Light Rum, and... what?
Things with an asterisk are not changeable. They're SC products. Open to recommendations on others.

I also invented a cocktail:
1 part Canton
1.5 part limonata soda
On the rocks.

I'd go Lagavulin for scotch. Premium, well known, but not mass market. You will get respect from scotch drinkers if that's the only one you carry. You aren't mixing it, right? That would be a waste.

I'll check on distribution here. THanks

I just had a Southern Star Buried Hatchet Stout which might be my favorite stout so far. And it's in a can!

[Hubbitron]

Ten fidy is out again soon that's my favorite imperial stout in a can. Have you considered sailor jerry for rum?

[Frogacuda]

Ten Fidy seconded. One of my favorites.

[icarusfall]

I saw Sailor Jerry get about the same reviews as Kraken and I went with Kraken since I have a big Cthulhu tattoo. They're about the same price here.

Oskar Blues is distro'd here, so I'll grab some of that Ten Fidy as soon as I see it.
