      And Brent, you've had more smoked beers than that, the barrel aged Hammerheart Irish Red was a smoked beer. They called it "peated" because it was peat smoke.
      Add a "1" before that "6" and you're closer to the price. Just checked tonight.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        Fiance says it is $6.99 at Northgate. She bought a bottle yesterday.

          Buy. It. All.

          I'll pay $10 each for a couple bottles. We both win.

            It wasn't $6.99, but it was $8.99, so still pretty dang reasonable. Northgate had 2 bottle left so I bought them. I have 3 now.

            Also bought a bottle of Shellback Silver Rum. I made my grandma's recipe of "slush", which is just delicious, and brings me back to my childhood holidays. So what better than to mix it with rum? I had never had Shellback, or heard of it, but I just tried a bit of it straight and I'm impressed. Very smooth, and some great flavors. I will probably get it again, if I need a clear rum.

              I haven't seen it for less than $13 around here. I'll buy a bottle, if you are willing to sell.

                What kind of rum did your grandma use with it originally?

                  Yeah, I'd probably do that.

                        Or, apparently, Thanksgiving at Grandma's house.
                        (I don't know what she actually used, I just couldn't imagine my grandma spending more the minimum on a bottle of rum, the last time I had this slush I was drinking from the non-boozy punch bowl)

                          I've been eyeing that up for some time now and pulled the trigger today. Probably won't get to it till the weekend.

                            did she use rum or brandy? brandy slush, I've heard of. rum slush, not so much. then again, I live in a state with the highest brandy consumption on the planet, so maybe brandy slush is just a WI thing. I remember my stepgrandmother making it when we were kids, but I have no idea what was in it.

                            my grandmother's holiday drink was grasshoppers. she served them in mini shot glasses for the kids. huh. today she would probably be arrested for that.

                              Not if it was in Wisconsin.
                              http://www.revenue.wi.gov/faqs/ise/atundrg.html:

                              Can an underage person possess and consume alcohol beverages on licenses premises?
                              Yes. Persons under age 21 may possess and consume alcohol beverages if they are with their parents, guardians or spouses of legal drinking age; but this is at the discretion of the licensee. The licensed premise may choose to prohibit consumption and possession of alcohol beverages by underage persons.

                                My friends brought back a bottle of "erotic rum"from the Bahamas. Other than that and the proof, it has little on the label and it is very smooth.
