Hey pallies. I just got back from a road trip and I tried this stuff. I was, frankly, skeptical, but dang, it is good ale. Check it out if you want a very smooth drink: Kiwanda Cream Ale

I recently read a reference to Russian cigars. I never really though of them being produced in the RF, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Has anyone sampled Russian cigars? How did you like it? Any you didn't care for? Thanks!

Have you ever brewed your own beer? How did it turn out; delicious or disgusting? Was it better than store bought? Did you save any cash in the process? Beer brewing is legal in my country so I've gotten the idea to give it a spin. Thanks for sharing. :)

Have you ever done the Moscow Mule thing? I have a pally that drinks them down like Cocacola. For those that don't know, it is a drink made of Vodka, lime juice, ginger beer, and a lime wedge. It is served in a copper mug. I've found it OK, particularly in the summer months, but I wouldn't...

Hey pals. Do you carry a cigar case and, if so, what material is it made from? How many cigars does it hold? I've got a small, leather, two-cigar type that is handy to put in a briefcase, etc. Thanks for sharing.

For the laughs, the loveable hooch hound Barney Gumble calling AA. Cheers.

Have you ever been to places where the liquor laws were really strange and/or draconian? In my travels around the country, I have found some odd ones. The state of Utah, in particular, has some pretty tough laws. And there are dry counties in the South. Any that stand out in your mind...

Hey pallies. As a big fan of their cigars, I enjoyed this video, so thought I'd pass it along. Cheers!

Hey pals. What cocktail that you've enjoyed over the years was the most complex to make? Do you have it often? Care to share the instructions? Thanks!

Hey pallies. Later in the year, I will be in the Bradenton and then later Lake Mary area of Florida. Can anyone recommend some good watering holes? What is the gambling scene like in the Sunshine state? Thanks all!

The other day I re-watched, for like the hundredth time, the classic Casablanca. It is a great picture, with outstanding performances, and with lines you'll never forget. What I did kind of forget is how much booze flows in that picture. It got me to thinking, what movies feature a lot of...

A delicacy available in some restaurants and clubs is caviar. For those that might not know, it is salt-cured fish-eggs of the Sturgeon. It can be expensive, but some people really like it. I may be one of those rare birds that neither loves it, nor hates it. But, admittedly, I haven't had...

Well, I don't know how the weather is elsewhere, but here it is hot. And I mean, blazing hot. Question: what are some of your favorite hot weather mixed drinks? Care to share the recipe? Any you avoid? Thanks for sharing!

Hey pallies. Happy Fourth to my fellow Americans on board. On that note, do you have any sticks you have set aside for the day? I've got a nice Rockey Patel I'll likely be burning up later today. How about you?

Hey pals. Have you ever had Absinthe? It is the green drink that contains wormwood. It was banned in the US of A since 1912, so most of the 20th century. Though the ban was partially lifted in 2007. As such, it has been kind of a "forbidden fruit" here in the States. However, I've read...

Do you ever "Irish up" your coffee? That is the practice of putting a little whiskey into the mix. I can't say that I do as I don't drink in the morning nor drink coffee in the later hours, but I know it is a common practice. There is classic mixed drink called Irish coffee that includes...

Here's a fun one: what is the absolute weirdest mixed drink you've ever had? How was it made? Was it good, bad, or just bizarre? Thanks. :D

Back when I was a young guy, I was really into Saki. I drifted away from it over the years, but it can be good in the right mood. When I was younger, I'd sip warm Saki whilst soaking in a hot tub: man is that relaxation. Do you enjoy the stuff? Any brands you like? How do you enjoy? Thanks!

I have to say, I love calamari. And for that matter squid done up other ways. Anyway, for a basic portion of fried calamari with a side, what beers do you find go best with said? Any that don't work? Thanks for sharing.

Hey pals. Have you ever, past or present, worked as a bartender? How did you like it? How was the pay and tips? Did you find it fun or depressing? Thanks for sharing any experiences. :)
