I couldn't see the picture, but from the responses I take it you're talking about Woodford. Woodford will blow that Knob Creek you were drinking out of the water. Woodford is effing awesome.

I've become friends with the mid-west Ambassador for Woodford. Fun to compare notes with since he's well versed on his competitors also. He's a pretty decent golfer and great to play with since his bag is always full of minis. He pulled out a fifth of his company's tequila during a rain delay last year. Even the course ranger was chugging it down with us. I think we finished the back nine but not positive.
Leaving in a couple of hours to head to Chicago. WHISKEYFEST! Taste Testing. Lectures by Booker Noe. Taste Testing. Buffet. Taste Testing. Beautiful women pouring drinks. Taste Testing. Lectures by the Van Winkles. Taste Testing.

I had this Jamaican wine at the bar tonight and it tasted like ginger ale in wine form. It was amazing, except it doesn't mess you up that badly. I think the brand was called Stoney's. Funny enough, it is made in England.

Just started two batches of beer yesterday (a cream ale and a honey kölsch), so they'll probably be done by early June. It's my first time brewing - we'll see how this turns out, but I enjoy it so far.

Good luck, particularly with the kölsch. I hear it's one of the tougher ones to get right, as KBC Blonde should prove.
A few notes for you, if you haven't done enough studying already.

It'll be fun to see how they turn out, yes. My friend has the fermentation buckets at his house, and we're considering doing secondary fermentation on both of them - the cream ale is a bit thick still. The kölsch is a kit from Northern Brewer so I'm not that worried (an infection is possible, I suppose, but we sterilized stuff well with bleach or One Step), and the cream ale comes from a recipe in a brewing magazine (didn't notice which).

Re: Official Drinking Thread Pt 5: Four Horsemen + Jerry: It's called The Voltron!
That is a tasty beer. First had it years and years ago (maybe early 90's?) when I was in Dallas, only to find out I couldn't get it in MN at that time.
Say, I wonder if I could have a drink in the doc's office tomorrow during my EMG test. *ing needles.

Spaten Optimator
This is the second "green bottle German import" that I've had that I would bother buying again (the other was Hofbrau Original).
Tastes like liquid rum raisins. Yum.

The Optimator is a fine brew. I drink that with my meal when I visit the Gasthof in Mpls.

I really have to get to Gasthof's. I am tentatively planning on being up in the area at the beginning of June. Pencil in your calendars.

Honestly, if you want a meal, it's best to have 6-10 people, and definitely make reservations. It's very ambiance/atmosphere based. They had a restaurant in Montrose, and of course, given the rural area, it got rowdy and fun most times.

I shall take your advice. You know you are the first one invited.

Here's some more:
It'll run about $30+ for a meal and a beer. But you won't eat until the next night. Awesome food, I recommend the spatzle with whatever else you order. And if you go on a weekend, there's polka downstairs until midnight, then usual club/top 40 music. $11/L beer downstairs, $6 for 1/2L. Doesn't matter what beer you have. A boot is $24 (IIRC it's 2L), but you have to pay a $50 deposit, in case you break said boot.
