I believe I'll join you with the whisky.
My wife knows I like Makers and bought me a gift set that came with two of those glasses.
For now, drinking more.

That pictured pint of Surly ended up getting struck with a piece of my juicer and smashed on the counter now I'm having a Mexican RIS that someone sent me

Yeah, I get periodic emails from them and that was in their last one. They say it won't affect taste/quality but we'll see. Of course, I probably wouldn't notice any slight difference, but I'm sure bourbon "snobs" will probably say they can.
screw that! There's got to be more! Is it wrong that I considered slurping around the broken glass to salvage some of it off the counter?WesleyS said:That's what you get for trying to juice Surly cans hoping to get a couple more drops out of them. When the can is empty, it's empty.
Homebrew club meeting tonight. Got there too late to get pics without gettting caught being dorky, but I set up 5 of my saisons with a little print out with recipes and other info. Also enjoyed a La Folie (anyone else remember how good it used to be????) and some 2010 Pere Jaques. Stone Cali- Belg - Wow, it;s orangey! Nothing else is standing out right now, but nice to have my beers well received by a larger sample than I'm used to.

It was sorta like the healthy morning drink vs. the unhealthy nighttime drink. The healthy drink won hard.. I think there's glass in my foot, but I'm not going to worry about it till tomorrow.

Wait, you were worried about looking dorky in front of a bunch of beer geeks? I'm proud to geek out about beer. I even take pictures in bars on the rare occasion that I patronize one.
Being a forum dork is so much more embarrassing than being a beer dork.

Thats retarded to risk the quality of your product over demand. If your whiskey sells out its a good thing but again if they cant replace what is bought quickly enough people will turn to another brand. If I was them I would not and will not dilute that product.
Agreed. The quality of the product is what makes or breaks you - they'd be better off short filling the bottles (say 715ml) than diluting the product. Even if the average person can't tell the difference between 90 & 84 proof, if they find out after they fact they won't be happy.

And here I thought you loved us. If you're embarrassed by us then maybe we don't want you around.
