What's everybody drinking tonight?

A friend just brought me down a case of real Kentucky Moonshine, Apple pie, blackberry, and lemon. This should be real interesting!!!
 
when I get home tonight 2 fingers of "Wild Turkey" 80 proof
 
Ice cold 12 oz can of Mountain Dew . . . just cold enough for frozen bits to be floating around in the can.
 
Had a Guinness from the can earlier, didn't do anything for me.

I just powered up the espresso machine a moment ago. Maybe two or three doppios will get me through the evening. I put a couple of books on network security in the Kindle two days ago, and now it's time to sit down with the reader, a legal pad and pencil, and dive in.
 
Before dinner, a Sapphire martini on the rocks. With dinner, a Summit Extra Pale Ale. This is my basic, usual choice for beer. It is nicely hoppy, without being overwhelming. I prefer it cold, but I can drink it almost warm, which says a lot for it.

For a change of pace, I will drink a Bell's Two Hearted if they have it, and sometimes Bell's Oberon.

I used to ride dirt bikes a lot with a bunch of guys from Colorado, where they can get pretty snooty about their micro-brews. Most of them will roll over on their home town brews to get Summit.

Lefty, how about Rheingold and Ballantyne?

Rheingold was popular in our home when I was a kid, Ballantine wasn't, I'm not sure why? An Uncle who was a longshoreman was known on the waterfront as "Paddy Rheingold" as a result of a dopey bartender who would remember your drink, but never remember your name. Years later as a young policeman, I met several bartenders who suffered the same form of amnesia. Those were the kind of joints I preferred to drink in, "where everybody forgets your name."

CHEERS; (pun intended)

Adult Beverage Tonight

A classic Manhatten: 4 to 1 ration of rye whiskey to sweet vermouth and heavy on the bitters. Then a pint of smoked brown ale (homebrewed). Two drinks is my limit.
