I'm from Mobile, and a year at Birmingham Southern was enough to make me move west. But I will say I was the only member of Free the Hops in New Mexico. My wife and I were at Magic City festival in 2009 when big bottles and strong beer were first allowed. While all the natives were flocking to the booths selling the newly available beers we avoided the long lines by enjoying the fine local, 5.5% abv beers.I'm sure you meant "When I have the pleasure of being in Bama...."If you're ever in the Birmingham area let me know and I'll treat you to some great local beers! Based on your posts I'm sure I'd enjoy the conversation.
Limoncello?
Looks like pastis or absinthe.
Proper glassware.

OT! I might need to pour some desert. 
Yeah it was needed. Go Niners!

No way. Ricard, a French pastis. A classic French aperitif(appetizer drink). I'm about to go to France and I need to be ready.
Always
If you're going down to the Cote d'Azur, there's a neat little absinthe museum in Antibes. They serve up several absinthes at their bar in the cellar.

My camera (cellphone) is somewhere upstairs and can't be found! But I'm drinking a Central Waters Peruvian Morning, and I think it just might be the best damned beer I've EVER had!

Goes so well with leftover/reheated carnitas street tacos!

Antibes sounds good but probably not. We are going to visit Corsica with a sister in law. And I have several different pastis varieties in my liquor cabinet-Ricard, Pernod, Berger Blanc, and some cheap stuff just called Pastis 45(I think)
Who doesn't love working on walls that aren't square and plum? Luckily we have technology for gaps...
I'm not sure I've ever had the privilege of working on a wall that was square or plumb.
Having a nice nitro stout.
The ordinary bitter is tapped, UK IPA is over halfway to TG in the ale fermenter, and Henry Weinhard's Private Parts will be crashed to lagering temps tomorrow.
Things are looking up.

I prefer Foreign Extra but alas it wasn't available. This is good as always though.
In an hour or so my wife and I are going to a local bar/restaurant/pool hall/t-shirt shop/head shop (all in one), as they just put a keg of LHMS on tap. Ordinary I'd grab a pint, but they also just put a keg of Pliny the Younger on tap, that's what's drawing me there this time.
That is the first I’ve ever seen that in a can… and a big pint to boot. Nice.
Some Beanpot Finals action
A little earlier today, SN hazy IPA as I step outside my normal beer drinking. It's not bad... grapefruit, citrus, full body, low bitterness, definitely coats the palate but doesn't last too long. I gave a taste to my DIL who is not a beer drinker at all. Her reaction was a little happy dance, saying "It smells like Fanta! I could drink this!" Not sure what that says for this brew.
Not really what I look for in a beer.

The Alabama beer scene is much better because of y'all's work. Thank you!
5 Points was a mecca for me in 1975. It obviously was nothing like today's beer scene but even back then it had a very different vibe from the rest of my travels in the Birmingham area. Almost cosmopolitan on a local level. Lots of great music to hear down there. And a more relaxed racial mix than some other places I spent time in.
Pliny the Younger
Plus a smaller, 6oz taster of Firestone Walker's Sucaba, an English style barleywine.

I just noticed you mentioned absinthe not pastis. Modern French absinthe was recreated in a town 30 minutes from where we live, but I rarely see any offered.

Whale Oil Beef Hooked
Should know better by now but literally thought this project would take a couple days. Anyway, 3 weekends later finishing work in progress w/assistance of course. Just a few other brick walls I ran into converting the switches.
Break time. Nice variety 12pk!
