Best drink while listening to your rig?

Yes Tim, life if short and cocktail hour is an important part of the day to wind down, reflect, oh yeah and on the weekends listen to loud music. It's like the statement on the sleeve of "let it bleed" "This record should be played loud."

Clipsal: great post! Wish we could get some of those Australian brews "up over," as it were! Do you listen to the Waifs at all? Friend from Melbourne sent me two CDs. Kind of like them, actually.

Pops... thanks for the Plymouth recommendation. I'll keep a look out for it. I like gin with jazz, for some reason... maybe it's just the alliteration?

A good German hefeweizen; Ayinger, Franziskaner, Paulaner, Hacker-schoor, a hoppy American micro IPA, or maybe one of my own concoctions.

Irish Nut;1 part Baileys Irish cream,2 parts heavycream,1/2 part Frangelica liquor(can put pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top)
