First time I’ve seen the Queen Mary 2. Takes me back to visiting friends in Lee on Solent and watching the old Atlantic crossing ships. Saw the United States come in when it beat its record time.

This was a bit lively when I opened. So some kitchen clean up before I could enjoy. A limited offering for the beer club from maybe 3 years ago. Exactly what it says. Cherry with bourbon. Pretty tasty.

Not as good as the 2021. No caramel. No dark fruits. Predominantly apple. Not unpleasant but lacking.

I read this picturing it going across a screen like the Star Wars beginning
It’s 2026. A convicted felon is still the President. He continues to break laws, disregard the Constitution, & lie. He will do anything to protect himself & the other pedophiles listed in the Epstein files. The Republican Congress is allowing the procrastination to continue.

Nothing at home except heavier beers. So nipped out to Farm Country Brewing for an IPA.
8% Double. Very nice. Good bite and some mango.

Using Tumbleweed 🇨🇦 bourbon style because all I have left of US is some Woodford Double Oaked and not putting that in an Old Fashioned.
It’s not bad. Very like basic Bulleit.
