@YukonRon. I assume the HK that won was bottled this year and barreled in 08. The bottle I have was barreled in 06. Due to varying temps year to year, is the taste much different like wine?

Thanks for the tip. The McKenna is on currently sale at our fine NC ABC establishments (or at least Orange County?) for $26.95. Good Stuff!

I am trying to lower my blood sugar count. After my surgery last Summer, I'm left with no spleen and have a pancreas, hence my elevated blood sugar levels. I have essentially stopped drinking beer, because the carbonation upsets my stomach and just bloats me too much. I turned to drinking bourbon and gin much more because of the lack of beer drinking. Yes, I know they have empty calories that will turn to sugar and raise my blood sugar levels, but I'm trying. Diet, exercise, cut out sweets, and many times I will just add a large ice cube to my bourbon instead of sugary mixers. -

This is the exact reason I could only afford the “Tennessee Pork Loin” yesterday. Jason - do not taste it, please. Amy will thank me later.
@YukonRon is sneaky that way. I also relied on his advice for wine - money continues to drain out of our retirement account.Near Music City in the Boro

Ended up going later and got a bottle for me and one for a bourbon loving buddy. If it's as good as i'm hoping, i'll be hunting down more.
Going for a walk with the wife now. Might pour a taster when I get back to compliment all the friday night beer.
