Todays vintage is a fine Red Eye Coffee Porter from Two Brothers Brewing Co. A nice dark malt with a nice coffee note to finish..oh and 9.2% Alc/Vol.....Adds a few points/coin.

    Me too. Freebie drinks from time to time, plus not deal with change at the counter anymore.

    Usually, if I have a beverage, it's just a cup of coffee.

    While I am a firm believer in the adage "A little scotch never hurt anybody", I also enjoy a good beer or ale. Recently I have found a new favorite with which to enjoy my half dimes, Belhaven Scottish Ale. If you enjoy a full bodied, full flavored brew, it is worth the effort to locate a supply of Belhaven. image

    I had a fantastic Witbier that I will be enjoying more often with my coins. Weyerbacher Blanche---5% ABV. Soooo good.

    While I heartily approve of your choice, or anything from Two Brothers, actually (my fridge is perpetually stocked with an assortment), having a beer at my coin desk is only asking for trouble.

    Im a bit of a glutton for punishment, so when I do it is either an Islay whisky (laphroaig is a fav), bourbon neat (big fan of knob creek), or an ipa.

    When viewing in order to decide on a purchase, then a Starbucks should be the limitation. But after the victory and viewing for pleasure, then I prefer something with more kick. image
