Oscar Wilde said "Be yourself. Everybody else is already taken." I think I've found a loophole in that.

Thanks for that....I think....

 

Beer looked awesome. How may did you and you “Mates” have before filming? ????

I don't know who said this but I think it is relevant....

It's difficult to keep count, as you can imagine. : )

... this must be the effect used when an actor dies during a movie shoot!

Anyway, I loved the video. I am glad to see more FoH'rs doing them.

Cheers!

You know Steve? I've never felt that anyone would ever be able to fill Smithy's shoes.

But sitting here, watching this Fellini-esque masterpiece, it was as if I were watching a bearded Smithy.

If Smithy could grow a beard.

Today's pairing is a wonderful Punch Petit Corona del Punch, urg feb 11, and one of my favorite brews, Troegs bourbon barrel aged Troegenator.  Bought straight from the brewery a year or so ago. Troegenator has a huge malty flavor but it's well balanced. It's like drinking liquid sourdough bread but with a little bit of spice.  The bourbon barrels add a nice hint of vanilla, molasses, and some oakiness. Bourbon barrel aging beers is hit or miss for me, but this is done so well. It's a big, strong, and bold beer that's perfect for winter or fasting monks.  

I love these Punch smokes.  It's a shame they've been discontinued.  Slightly sweet with baking spice notes like cinnamon and nutmeg.  These have rarely disappointed.  The pairing is almost near perfect for me.  The baking spices from the Punch and brought to the front by the malty sweetness of the beer.  The bourbon notes are subtle and dont overwhelm anything.  If you have the goods, this pair is well worth the try.

I won this contest last time, so this review is more just for fun and to bump the thread back up for more folks to see. What better time than the holidays for craft beer and cigar pairings? Let's see some more!

Well said! : )

& Cheers for the review. I agree on the Bourbon barrel aging of beers, too... sadly it has been mostly all misses for me.

i read the heading and thought it was steve smith's new vodaphone ad.

i have 'infinite jest' at the top of my pile of books to read as well. 

[El Presidente]

You have got me into it. 

White Rabbit stout and a cigar yesterday.  Another habit is just what I needed

how many times have i offered you stout/porter/dark beers with a cigar, only to be treated with utter contempt? 

for you, 2019 will be the year of matching warm sauv blanc with your cigars!!
