It's Beer Thirty

The five rules of Bourbon:

1. It must be made in the United States. Contrary to popular belief, it doesn’t have to be made in Kentucky, although 95 percent of the world’s supply is.

2. Aging must take place in a new, charred, oak barrel. Maker’s Mark gets its from ISC (Independent Stave Company) in Kentucky. Whiskey can be aged in used barrels and often is. The bourbon must be aged for at least two years to be considered a straight bourbon.

3. The mash must be at least 51 percent corn. Maker’s Mark is way above the minimum at 70 percent.

4. The whiskey cannot enter the barrel at higher than 125 proof. It cannot enter the bottle at a proof less than 80.

5. Nothing can be added but water and only to lessen the proof when necessary. Other whiskeys can add color and flavor. Not bourbon, it must be au naturel.

A few years ago, a documentary was made, titled "Bourbontucky". It gives some great history and insight into the craft of distilling. They show it a couple of times per year, watch for it and watch it, those that have an interest.

Mowed, trimmed, washed down the sidewalks and driveway, and hauled several loads of brush to the burn pile on this beautiful North Texas day. Enjoyed a Stella on the patio while admiring my work. Joshka gave his approval.

Unk, you're making my tongue stick out! Only 4 days until Good Friday.

[WillyCamaro]

Lookin good Unk.

And may I inquire RR, what do you mean by "Only 4 days until Good Friday."?

[jmh58]

Lookin good Unk.

And may I inquire RR, what do you mean by "Only 4 days until Good Friday."?

My guess is he gave up beer for Lent.

Willy, do you know any Catholics? I'm actually Episcopalian (Catholic Light), like George Washington was.

Umm no John, sad to say I don't.
Oh, ok. And I didn't know that about Mr.Washington, thank you for the tidbit of education sir.

I'm non-denominational, follower/disciple of Jesus. Not part of any group per-say, but part of the body in spirit and the word.
So you could say, every time I pickup His word, and talk to Him, I do "lent".

I'm completely in the dark when it comes to your church, and your holidays.
Please fill me in if you could sir, I'm all ears.

Well, Willy, I don't think I feel comfortable laying all of this out on a beer thread, but we could post on the Daily Scripture thread if you like?

Oh ya, mate, I think that wud be a bit more appropriate for said topic. Not a beer thread...

Or you could be proactive and google Lent.

I gave up lent for beer

Don't mean to be disrespectful of any religion or anyone's spiritual beliefs.......but that is funny.

But...does that mean you only drink beer during Lent.

If my statement means I could only drink beer during Lent, I must rethink my stance.

That is a good observation, Q!
