An homage to Hunter S. Thompson and Flying Dog Ales

I’ve just enjoyed so going to Denver so much lately the past few months. Meeting the some of the Flying Dog and Blake St. Tavern folks was indeed a treat. I figured what better way to further give tribute to Flying Dog and Hunter S. Thompson than to go as HST for Halloween in New Orleans.

The Last Drop Whisky

Whether you’re contemplating your last meal or simply looking for a truly exciting new whisky, The Last Drop Whisky ($2,000/bottle) should be on your list. Created by three liquor industry legends, the Last Drop is made from a variety whiskies, the youngest of which was distilled in 1960. Once all had hit the age of 12 years, they were blended and put into new sherry casks, inside which they spent the last 36 years, becoming more interesting and flavorful as the years went by. With only 1347 bottles available, you’d better make your move now to pick up this bottled history.

Kona Brewing Co. Pipeline Porter

Leave it to the consistently great Kona Brewing Co. to combine two of our favorites: coffee and beer. Their new Limited Release Pipeline Porter ($9/6-pack) is made from a blend of diverse premium malted barley and freshly roasted 100% Kona coffee. The result is a highly-drinkable brew with a dark appearance and ever-so-smooth finish that goes as well with a hearty meal as it does by itself.
