It's been a while since I've been to the brewery, but you do raise a good point. Extensive taste testing is in order! (I do recall their Christmas Ale being one of my favorites, not so much with the Honkers Ale). My mileage has varied, but has been generally pleasurable

The Great Lakes Xmas Ale is one of the Best! It's what got me drink GL.
I had a very yummy Fonseca Vintage and a cup of home roasted Indonesian beans this morning. How patriotic of me...
Oh well, coffee and cigars are still pretty damn American in my book, no matter the country of origin. Now, I'm going to go drink some Old Milwaukee, watch baseball, and start things on fire.

As I type from my bunker like work environment with 2 hours left in the countdown, I'm contemplating what the evening's smoke will be. Do I fire one of my precious few Perdomo Reserve Maduros? Or do I try another El Mejor Espresso? (nah...to risky...need more time) Perhaps, a tried and true Fresco?
Whatever I end up choosing, I'm looking forward to it. Work blows.

I've been cooking like a madman recently, so for the 4th it was as simple as you can get- hot dogs and burgers, corn, home made potato and macaroni salads. Nothing is better than a cookout with the family.

Nice Laddies, Mr. James! How were they?
For the 4th I enjoyed a Nub 464T Cammie, some Sierra Nevadas and then a Nub 460 Habano. Great day with friends and family.
The Islands was my favourite of the 2 but both were rather special drams to say the least. The price of the 1970 makes it much more of a special occasion drink, but it was certainly a good buy. I think I am going to have to try a couple more laddies, but only if I can find them in half bottle size or miniature, so I don't have to stump for a full bottle.
