Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

Saturday aperitif from a new bottle of Tequila Ocho Plata from the 2024 El Zapotito agave harvest, with a Stetson One-hundred.

Got my slimmed down Stetson Gus up top. Sazrec Rye with Mango in the tumbler tonight. Got one of the Leif pipes fired up with some Boswell Magnum Blend... Life be good!

A couple I neglected to post from two separate days in the recent past. Trying out first, a craft Pilsner I’d not seen before that goes at a very reasonable price. The hat is my black Brummel’s Homburg.

The second, a new Black Beer from Suntory, the Black PSB (Perfect Suntory Beer) with my Hornskov Centre Dent.

The verdict? The Pilsner was pretty awful. The PSB was actually pretty nice. It’s hard to find a Porter or Stout in Japan, so happy to have found this one. Not perfect by any means, but nice. Just a shame it’s a limited edition.

Think Im done for the day! All the edging done, ran a few errands, and now Im back in shorts with a little Rye Old Fashioned...
Life be good

Yeah, it is. I haven’t tried it yet. Not a big fan of Asahi overall, so not sure if I will.
What did you think?

Better than the regular (super dry?) Closer to an IPA

I’ll have to give it a try.

Yep. For me, that’s a significant step up from Super Dry.
don’t think it’ll replace Ao Oni or Yona Yona Ale in my pantry, though.

love the ribbon

Thanks. In the style of the Brigadier. The Campaign bow originally came from a military hat & the ribbon should not be too wide.
