Not quite my “drunk post”

I was able to log some hours at the R-Bar tonight, and not only did I get some free samples, but my tab was picked up too – I helped the bartender – a good friend – move a bookshelf.

Anyways, outside of the usual High Lifes, here were my comps:

Hibiki - Japanese Blended Whiskey

 
Hibiki – “A harmonious blend of handcrafted select specially aged whiskies”. Not really a comp, but a sample from the Tales of the Cocktail. Not bad, but the overall impression was that while we made the swallowing motions, that didn’t actually happen. It seemed to evaporate in our mouth. Last time I checked, half the reason why I drank whiskey was the taste. The other half was for what it did once in my belly and then bloodstream.

Abita SOS - A Charitable Pilsner
 
Abita SOS - Save Our Shore

 
Abita SOS – A Charitable Pilsner. Pilsner my ass – this beer was hoppier than an IPA. For most that would be fine, but to me and to Bailey who shared the drink with me, it was bad due to the fact that we hate IPAs and hoppy beers in general. The nicest parts of this beer were the charitable donation to oil-y stuffs and the scrimpin’ boots on the bottle.

Sorry Abita, I, er we, tried.

  1. Mmmmmmm – whiskey! And yes, that is the whole point of it, the flavor (with the lovely effects being secondary, if also necessary).

    Well, it was almost a drunky mcpants post so congrats!
