Best drink while listening to your rig?

Just saw this thread. Amazing that it is so long. Nice to see the liquor industry is doing well, even if the high end industry is not.

Mostly, I'm wondering if Coffeey ever found his lighter.

Dogfish Head 120 minute IPA. This high octane brew (21%abv) ain't cheap or easy to find. The alcohol is well concealed. One of these and everything's a little better. If you can't find the 120's and chances are you can't go for the less potent but equally tasty 9o minute IPA.

Cardenal Mendoza (Spanish brandy). Or a good Armagnac. In a pinch, Delamain cognac. Hennesy VSOP if I'm really slumming it.

Glenlivet,18 yr. single malt,and dry Chardonnay,and some of the Alsace Rieslings.

My own Organically Grown McLaren Vale Shiraz is not bad, Coopers Pale Ale in warmer weather.
