SRY, just a little Bitter. I lived in Kearney for five years. I've heard the Niobrara is an actual river, but the Platte at that point, I know, is nothing but a sludge farm.
I have never been to prison, but I know what it feels like to get out of the pen. That day I moved out was the best day of my life.

I'm a transplant here myself, so maybe I'm biased, but Nebraska isn't really all that bad. I can think of a lot worse places to live.

Times gin tasting article
AHLL BE BOCK
Liked that Seagram's was so highly rated. I've always felt that it was a good martini gin. I'm going to have to revisit the whole Plymouth thing, and soon.

I thought this would be about something else entirely, but that's because I have a dirty mind. Seriously though, a really good article. I need more gin (Gin?).

Yay!!! Two of my absolute favorites made the top 2.
Plymouth gin tastes fabulously sublime (with their interesting new bottle style, to boot) and I stocked up on a dozen bottles not long ago when Bev Mo had them for $11/750ml.
Anchor Distilling's Junipero does indeed make a fine Martini, though it's flavors hit the taste buds like a sledge hammer (and that's not a complaint). It's definitely worth a try if you see it.
My "normal" gin, Beefeater was rated "average", I see, but it's still the standby that gets me through thick and thin.

I need to find this stuff!!! It's 114º, I believe. Wow.Gin McGuinness wrote: Plymouth is lovely - try Navy Strength for extra fun!

I don't have the attention span to read an entire article right now, but I will. Also, this new Amsterdam Gin is quite nice. I can't afford it, but it's nice.
