I started drinking these when my former father-in-law introduced them to me oh so many years ago (well, like 15). He evidently has been drinking them steadily since WWII (and lives to tell about it). A fabulous beverage all around...

I miss Max so much, and I don't know why that river seems like such a big hurdle to get across. But I was spoiled - I live a few blocks from the Bukowski's in Inman. It was with Max's superb guidance that I got through my beer card there. Thanks Lauren!

I'm in a New Orleans hotel with spotty wi-fi, not to mention spending most of my time in bars for Tales of the Cocktail. Slim: Agreed. Max is a treasure. Keith: thanks for commenting. Hope you make it to Boston soon. Adam: Hmmm, I have no idea. You'll just have to go to Deep Ellum and ask Max about that. Hi guys, sorry to be a bit slow responding to your comments.

One of a handful of bar managers in town who not only stocks a few ryes, but knows the right uses for each.
