Who cares about Abrignac's foo-foo cocktail drinks with fancy umbrellas and plastic swords holding fruit garnishes.

Am a big fan of "The Best Bars in America" and "Brew Dogs" showing on the Esquire channel.

Barrel-aged brews seem to be gaining popularity - including use of bourbon, rum, and even wine barrels. A a result there seems to be a trend evolving using craft brews in cocktails. Their Mint Julep brew is interesting.

This was one of many cocktails highlighted for you Big Lebowski fans.

The Big Lebrewski

1oz single-barrel Bourbon

(best if the same bourbon barrel the brew was aged in)

1oz aged Rum

1 jigger Imperial Coffee Stout

1oz heavy cream

shaken - not stirred

A different twist on the Caucasian.
