Anyway, It was a good time.
There's a brewery in Keuka?!?? maybe it's a good thing I didn't know that when I was going to school there.
And, I believe I will begin my homebrewing experience later this month. I decided a full 1/2 barrel is too big, mainly because the equipment required is stupid expensive. To make 15.5 gal of finished beer you'd need at least a 17 gallon boiler, which costs more than the keg.
So, I'm going to trade my Yuengling 1/2 barrel for a Genny sCream ale 1/4 (or maybe a Yueng black and tan) and use that. Combined with a turkey fryer I picked up at a garage sale. Rock on.
KBC started only last September. Place is really not much to look at. but the beer is great. fifteen bucks for a half gallon growler, and since I'm in the beer club (suddenly) it's only 14 bucks.
Does it break mimesis if it's not just you posting in here?
I need something to mix with gin and rose's lime juice when I go out. It has to be something I can easily request and not look like a jackass doing. I require suggestions.

Do people mix gin and vodka?
How about adding rum and mint, kind of a super mojito? Or just go with your ingredients but only ask for a "splash" or rose's lime juice for a perfect gimlet. You should never drink a "green looking" gimlet and risk overpowering the gin with too much limey sweetness.
You already had the ingredients (gin and roses): a gimlet is a martini except with roses lime instead of vermouth. Hence, it should be as dry as you possibly can stand it and have a decent gin (Bombay sapphire) or smooth enough vodka. A well made gimlet is no "girley drink" either so don't be embarrassed to drink it among folks having martinis and scotches.

I miss Marketview Liquor sooo very much! Here the liquor stores are state owned and only about twice the price of good old MV. God damed sin taxes!
Then come to Oklahoma, where beer is limited to 3.2 and it is illegal to sell alcohol on Sundays because we're all no-good sinners who should be in church and not out drinking.
Seriously, what do they do, change the taps or something? I am 100% in favor of churches being allowed to do their thing and I don't feel they should pay taxes and rah bah bah but man it really irks me when they can't understand the simple concept of "separation of church and state." 3.2%! And I'll bet brewers had to fight for that 0.2% as well.
I was reading something somewhere recently [Citation needed] about how football may very well be contributing to the growing array of non-believers in this country. REACTION!!!!????

Wow, there's three great reasons not to live in Oklahoma. Sounds almost as bad as Texas.
OK. In order to keep this thread alive I have taken one for the team and hit the corn liquor hard tonight. Or vise-versa. Whatever. Glen Thunder! whoo-hoo!
