Howdy folks!

[Rustmeister]

Hi everybody!.

For those who don't know me (or haven't seen me in a few years), my name is Rusty and I'm a beer guy.

I used to hang out in Prodigy Classic way, way back in the day. I left at the "urging" of my (now ex) wife, but as you can see, my priorities are set straight again.

I've retired from the Army now, and no longer live in El Paso. Memphis is now my home. Lew used to refer to "beer hell Texas"....guess what, Tennessee's not a whole lot better. Lucky I have a few other states close by.

Looking forward to talking with you all.

Rusty, in El Paso, now simply known as Rust.

Hidy, Rustmeister. Pleased to meet you and rewelcome, hope you are happy to be back.

Hiya, Rust!

Rusty achieved a Days of Barleywine and Roses first last year by posting a tasting note on Stone's Arrogant Bastard. The ale had been reviewed in prior tastings, certainly, but never had a reviewer done it solo with a 3 liter bottle.

Now that's a big taste!

[Rustmeister]

Hiya Rick!

Slow and steady does the trick.

It may have been over two days, actually, I think I finished it after midnight.

Hey, Rust, good to see you again!

And Cook, good to see you, since you didn't introduce yourself so formally...

Who Killed Kenny?

[Rustmeister]

What? They killed Kenny? Those bastids!

Hiya Lew! Looks like writing about beer IS the way to the good life.

You know Rick, he's from California. Only us southern boys have real manners. Comes from all that learnin' we get.

Southern man better keep your head

Don’t forget what your good book said

Hiya, Lew. Really enjoyed your article on wood (heh, heh. wood.) and bourbon in the latest Malt Advocate.

A co 2-502 Infantry 88-92....I assume then you and I have eaten and had some fine brew's and many of the same places along 41a!

Good to hear from a Brother Screaming Eagle!

Did they have Pizza Rabbit with the "Kitchen Sink" pizza when you were there...We used to pool our money and get them for barracks party's

[Rustmeister]

Hmmm, along 41a I hung out at the Red Carpet, JoAnn's, and the Red Lion. There used to be one (Jason's) up across the KY line, but he sold out to adult entertainment folks. I liked the Lion the best, because it was built beside a chinese food place and you could order from the bar. Best teriyaki steak in town!

We also used to go tho the Library lounge and hit on college girls, but that usually wound up with us having to hit college guys instead.

I don't remember the pizza place. We used to get Dominoes for free all the time because they never could get to the barracks on time.

I plan on heading up that way some time this year, just to look around and maybe go grab a schnitzel (and a couple of shotguns) at the Rod & Gun club.

Laters,

Rust

And another 'howdy yall' from Austin, Texas!

I work for a small micro here in Texas(Saint Arnold), and have posted mainly on the food side, but since this post will mark my milestone 20th post (woohoo!), I thought I'd bring it over here in the beer dept.

Cheers!
