      You'd be surprised at what some folks haven't heard of. Honestly. bbdl informed a bartender last year how to make a Dark And Stormy, and I taught a bartender what a mint julep was (to be fair, the guy was 22-23 years old, so it didn't surprise me that much).
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        Saw this on FB

        On September 30th, 1956, during a drunken argument in a New York City Bar, a man named Thomas Fitzpatrick claimed he could fly an airplane from New Jersey to New York in under 15 minutes. To prove himself, Fitzpatrick left the bar, stole an airplane from a New Jersey airfield at 3am, flew without lights or radio completely intoxicated, and landed the airplane in the street in front of the bar. The owner of the plane was so impressed that he refused to press charges, and Fitzpatrick was only fined $1000 for his stunt. Two years later, Fitzpatrick got into another drunken argument in which another bar patron refused to believe his wild story, so he did it again. This time finding himself in prison for 6 months....The Original “Hold my beer story”

          Given that New Jersey and New York border one another, it seems the flight could be made quicker.
          That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

              Slow and steady with a corkscrew, or try screwing in a regular screw and using a hammer to extract the cork (ghetto/redneck corkscrew is the scientific term, I believe )

                      10.7? Kinda light.

                      (not kidding, I don't have an under 10 in my fridge. Most is 12%+).

                          Did you do the puss way where you knock off the cage or the real way where you literally "behead" the bottle at the glass seam?

                          I had no idea that was what those insane Russian cav officers were doing in War and Peace. They may be bad at armor battles but they are great at drinking!

                            Mookie untopped the bottle where the glass knob sits. Metal hit that bump and the rest was history.

                                Had an annual bottle share today, the highlight was a 2006-2016 Avery Mephistopheles vertical (unfortunately, they don't make it anymore). Every one was good. Surprised the 2006ish held up, but it did. Wondrous.

                                Lots of mead, too, that was pleasant.

                                There is always one skunker, and this year, Wise Acre Smoked Helles took the cake. Smelled okay, tasted like sh*. Drain pour. Most of us took a sip just to say we could truthfully say it was sh*.
