Del Maguey Minero

Ahhhhh mescal (for the purposes of this review, mezcal).  I should preface this by saying I am definitely a tequila guy.  That could be the reason that of all the people who tried this with me, I was the only one who didn't immediately look like they wanted to commit a homicide. 
The label on the bottle describes this mezcal as:
Using natural processes over four hundred years old, the village palenquero (maker) captures the true body and spirit of mezcal with only two ingredients: water and the heart of the maguey (agave). The hearts of maguey are roasted over hot stones in a pit in the ground for three to five days covered with earth. They are then ground to a mash using horse-powered stone mills, followed by a long period of natural fermentation in wooden vats and finally distilled twice, very slowly, in wood-fired clay or copper stills.  Their flavor has been described as smokey, true, deep and warm.
Pay close attention to the last sentence....well....you really only need to pay attention to "smokey."  There's an easy way to decide if mezcal is right for you.

Alcohol and the news...perfect together



49-year-old Phillip Ingram is this week's honorable mention.  Sometimes you have to show those Georgia good ol' boys that you don't give a damn!  Fox Atlanta

This girl seems fun....although really this is pretty standard in Panama City Beach.  nwf daily news

2 important points here:  One of the reasons I love Canada, even the police know how to party.  Second if you have a facebook profile and post pictures and don't make your profile private...you're an idiot and it is going to ruin your life.  Vancouver Sun

Finally, without question, this weeks winner are drunken pirates....which will always be a winner by the way.  Plus this article has links to other drunk stuff so less work for me!  Metro

Well.....I guess we should drink!

So this is sort of like one of life's paradoxes: did I start this just to give me a reason to drink this beer that's been sitting in my refridgerator for a year; or did I choose this beer because I needed something strange for the first review?  It doesn't matter.  Here is Wells Banana Bread beer.

Putting functional alcoholism to some use

We're looking to have some fun here, with alochol at the center.  What's more fun than alcohol afterall?  I mean....at least for awhile....then it can become a nightmare....but you get the idea.  So look forward to beer reviews, liquor reviews, bar reviews, and drunken escapades, rants, and stories.  Bear with us as we try to nail down the look, feel, and structure of the site.
