Anyone besides me find this poster humorous?

Mmmhhhh... Mexican drinks at an Irish Bar in the US? .... and celebrating May the 5th on May the 4th?

 

Remember that drinking is mandatory in Ireland.
Max.

 

I'm drinking light beer tonight.

Myth: Guinness is high in calories.

Guinness, a stout-style brew, is known for its creamy texture, dark color, and rich, caramel-tinged flavor. That means it must be high in calories, right? Not so fast. A 12-ounce serving of Guinness sets you back 125 calories—just 15 more than the same serving of Bud Light. Alcohol is beer’s main calorie source, and since Guinness is just 4.2% ABV, it’s relatively low in calories. The dark color and sweetness come from small amounts of roasted barley used in the brewing process. And that thick, creamy texture? Most beers are carbonated with carbon dioxide, but Guinness uses a mix of CO2 and nitrogen. Nitrogen bubbles are smaller than CO2 bubbles, which produces a smoother “mouthfeel,” as beer nerds call it.

Sorry for replying to my own post, but:

A 12-ounce serving of Guinness...

WTF?

 

You spoiled brat... is that picture at your place?

LOL, no, we had plenty of Buffalo Trace mint juleps this evening but that photo is not mine.

My daughter is doing keto, so no sugar. Her husband is allergic to mint, so none of that. I'm the only one that can do it up right!

 

 

A 12-ounce serving of Guinness...

But after a few 20 ouncer's things tend to get a little Rowdy!!



Max.

LOL, I always turn off my iron and put the knives away once the beer comes out. Many fewer scars that way.

Found one of my favorite beers on sale today and picked some up.

Truth is that I turned it on just for the picture ... thought it'd make me look cool ... Right now I'm taking a break, browsing and mingling in this place ...

I'd like one that isn't Jack and Coke or pepsi. What else mixes with Jack?

I always have homemade mint syrup on hand because it grows like a weed in my garden. I'd be tempted to try replacing the maple syrup with mint. Either way, this sounds really good.

They have a recipe for Mint Julep on the website for Jack, I'm going to try that one too!

Summer time, weeeeeeee.

Sounds awesome, a mint julep basically. But I'm not sure what a "part" is when there's nothing else measured in parts. Two shots would be about right.

Yup, 2 shots, stick to the crushed ice. 2 of these were just right.
