Gentlemen, Ladies, good evening to all, and to all a good evening;)

Tonight's imbibing inside my perimeter is brought to us courtesy of Jim Beam Honey and Small Town Brewery Vanilla Creme Ale:D

What's your Five O'Clock Special?:)

For July my rotation is Fat Tire for beer and Blantons for bourbon. These two make it into my monthly rotation fairly often.

My apologies in advance for the following drift, but I had to add this to accompany Rusty's avatar (that's great!) :D

As seen on The Onion yesterday:

WOW you are OLD!!:eek::D

I resemble that remark & still call them that. Missed the memo on the name change. I never let a clock influence my drinking. Working the 11pm- 7:30 am shift, happy hour was 8am at times. Some peoples clocks are stopped at 5 pm. :D SO WHAT IS the new PC/hipster name? I lost most of my desire to drink along with my gall bladder 3 years ago but added some coconut & pineapple rum & apricot brandy to my unsweetened ice tea at lunchtime today. 1st drink in several weeks.
 
Just recently finally found a bottle of John J. Bowman SB Virginia bourbon (not common on the West Coast). Since the weather has finally turned reliably to "bourbon and Tennessee whiskey" out here, that one has been the most frequent afternoon sip of choice lately, with an occasional Dickel Barrel Select. (The "heavily peated scotch" season lasted much later than usual here this year; rain and cold into June.)
 
Blanton's, Four Roses Single Barrel, Bulleit 10 Year, Elijah Craig are at the top of my list.

If I'm stuck choosing a beer I'd say lately its Tusker. Had to try it after reading about it in so many old books about safaris (Hemingway) and found out its pretty good. There's also a brewery from Alberta called Big Rock that makes one called Scottish Heavy I really like.

Another Hemingway influence was Hatuey but shortly after I finally found it in stores they discontinued it.
 
We should make this our "Happy Hour" thread. Wherever you may roam, if you're imbibing, let us know what you're enjoying, post a pic if you can, share cocktail recipes, seasonal drinks & brews, etc.*

*Moderation + No Driving + No Guns:)

My rotation right now is Blantions, Marker Mark, Eagle Rare, Buffalo Trace, Old Bardstown bottled in bond, and a couple more.

I would like to share a recipe for ice, get a plastic tray with indentations in it fill with water ( tap water, filtered water, for clear ice cubes use hot water) to the top of the indentation, place filled tray filled with water into a freezer for 60-90 minutes.

Your post title made me remember one of our last vacations. It was around 11am, and my wife asked me if it was time for a glass of wine. I said, "Hey, it's 8am somewhere!"

I don't drink, and my wife's idea of a good time on vacation is soaking in the pool with a book and a glass of wine.
 
IF I'm drinking, a nice glass of a red from Chile, or a nice Irish double neat with an ice water back. As for beer, a basic Heineken 16oz can only after mowing the lawn; otherwise something dark like Smithwick or some other oatmeal stout or the like.

But since I'm trying to lose weight (33# in 29 days so far), alcohol is off limits for a while.

Whoa, hold on a minute there Hoss!...If"n you're gonna drink Heineken in a can...well you better hold up a pinkie or something. Class it up! Lol!

Just kidding, I drink cheap beer, and have very little class!
 
Too late 5 o'clock has passed put the booze away it's 5:44pm do you know where your children are? Lol
