A toast (and what are you drinking?)

I'm enjoying a Yuengling as I just saw UVA score against USC. Go Hoos!

At the moment I'm enjoying a Lemp's Standard Lager Beer from St. Louis:

America's first lager, and the original St. Louis Beer -- you won't get this one, InBev!

It's not the best lager I've ever had, but for a historian, it's fun to drink.

Cheers,

Todd

It's still in the 90's in Houston; so, I'm cooling off with a Paulaner's Hefeweizen.

Just finished an ice cold Purple Haze from Abita Springs Brewery in Louisiana. One of my favorite summer beers.

Having had "enough" back in '89 I'm now into lemonade. Drinking lemonade. Doing so cuts way back on the need for police, paramedics, ER doctors, psych ward techs, and divorce lawyers to attend to my affairs.

So, raising a cold lemonade and trying not to listen to that most delicious sound of ice tinkling against the glass....

Sitting here drinking coffee this morning catching up on XMarks that I have not had the time to get to this past couple of days. Friday evening at the Wine Sellers http://www.yourwinesellers.com/ I enjoyed a Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout http://www.merchantduvin.com/pages/5...ial_stout.html followed by what happened to be a double of Templeton Rye http://www.templetonrye.com/ since the boss was finishing off the bottle. (Templeton's sure is smooth, if you have not tried it please give it a taste. It has a nice full flavor with a smooth finish like a good aged scotch.) It sure is nice when the owners know/like you.

int: BTW Mrs. Standard drove us to the High School Marching Band er... Football game to avoid any possible confusion with the local law enforcement types.
