How Was Your Halloween?

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

I love a good single malt on occasion, but I'm not much for blends. I was surprised to find out that Johnny Walker Blue Label was a blend at nearly $200 a bottle.

.

I have a fun story about what happened when, not long after my brother's death, I poured myself some of his Cardhu.

This life is short. I follow God. Dont mess with the occult or make it look innocent to children

Blue Label? I guess I've been out of touch. Never heard of it.


.

It's not a big seller. I've never seen it or looked for it. My wife said she drank half a bottle of Johnny Walker Red every night before she met me.

She's paying for it with two hip-replacements.

If I wanted to make an Old Fashioned I'd use Makers Mark.

Thanks. Last one sent her down the road to Dementia. They used painkillers that messed her brain up.

Been through it with my beloved hubby. He started a new medication in September and only lived about a year.

I feel for you.

My other half likes that with fresh apple cider.

I imagine that would be okay.

Fireball is kind of a red-neck drink around here.

I'd just use it to kill anthills.

My wife is pretty healthy otherwise, because I cook for her, and feed her, and take care of her. She just can't remember things, and I have to watch her like a 4 year old.
I had to retire from work on post because of it.

I'm weaning her off of coffee right now. It was causing her to get up several times during the night. She's almost making it most of the way without waking up now.

You get my admiration. It's not easy.

You got that right. Hardest thing is keeping a positive attitude.

A friend had a bottle, LOL, no way I'd waste my money on anything Johnny Walker.

American beer is pisswater next to German Beer

I've always heard that and might agree if you are comparing domestics, but my experience with German beer is that there is not enough alcohol in it. Less than 5% is not worth my time. I do enjoy Belgian beers--Chimay, Duvel and Angelique as well as some micro brew imperial IPAs.

The tradition of dressing up and going door-to-door remains strong in my area (suburb of Pittsburgh, PA), but kids try to maximize their return on investment. They want to go out in densely populated, single-family home neighborhoods. I live in a townhouse, and we get about a dozen kids. Some of my friends had more than a hundred.

We had candy and other treats for at least fifty.

Parenthetically, we have a lot of elaborately-decorated houses, with skeletons, ghosts, jack-o-lanterns and such.

I had never heard of that before. Surprising it is one of the single malts that they use in Johnny Walker blends.

Every town brews their own label, but most of the time...one liter of that stuff would have me dancing on tables.
My favorite was Parkbrau Perminators, which as been discontinued. It was brewed in Permisans FRG by monks.

I called it happy beer. Always drank it on tap. Other than that, I always drank Heffi Vissen Beer. Hope I'm spelling it right.

Close, LOL, I knew what you meant. Hefeweizen, you're phonetically correct.

What I had up I've already taken down. Next comes Christmas. It's already Nov. So the solar lights are going up in the next few days.

The hefeweisen was one of my brother's favorites. He was an amateur brewer and complained that he could never seem to get his hefeweizen quite right. Something about the kind of yeast, which wasn't easily available near my brother's zip code, or some such thing.
