Portrait of a late night noir pour. Glaring light, finger prints, raven, bourbon. Cheers! The non-alc beer game has really improved. I wouldn’t guess this Bero wasn’t beer. Makes a dry night better! Cheers! My friend Kevin ran into William H. Macy at our local Total Wine. Macy was there promoting Woody Creek Distillers. So Kevin picked up this bottle of their rye for me. Tastes great neat and in a Red Hook cocktail, and the surprise story and gift makes it all the better. Cheers!
