I have a tiny collection of drinking swag that I’ve picked up from bars over the years. Tee shirts, hats, shot glasses and other various drinking periphernalia. My absolute favorite, by a long mile, of all the things I’ve picked up was my Jameson Irish Whisky coffee mug. The mug is now dead.
Its remains can be viewed here. I don’t have much else to say except that I miss it and would like another one. e-Bay is not helping me find a replacement. RIP Jameson Mug.
My beloved Newcastle Brown pint glass bit the dust a couple of weeks ago. My own fault since I left it in the path of the kids…
I picked up promotional glasses for McSorley’s and a Sam Smith’s at my local Beer-porium, but the glasses don’t have the same heft as my Newcastle glass…
Yay, people! I, too, drink Jameson like a thirsty Irish fish, and this mug was my one true love. Well, that and the Jameson itself. You can have more than one one true love, right?
I know Boulevard as well, and I’m in Indianapolis (originally from KC). They just started shipping out here. I can get Pale Ale and Wheat pretty reliably. A 6 pack of Singlewide IPA or Boss Tom or Bully Stout ran $18 - but last week I noticed my liquor store owner finally realized they hadn’t sold any for several months and dropped the price, and now I don’t have any room in my fridge. I haven’t paid any attention whatsoever to this Smokestack series…
Sniffle You guys are so darn sweet. I’m in Twin [del]Shitties[/del] Cities, MN and this mug was given to me maybe a year and a half ago. I’m not even asking someone to gift me one; if I could be pointed in the direction where I could buy one, even if it cost a million billion dollars, I’d be eternally grateful and would procure it post haste. Okay, maybe not a *million *billion dollars. Maybe just several thousand of them.
Oh, now I really hope my one brother (the one I’m thinking will be the best shot at having one) comes through. He’s checking to see if he has one, and if so, he’s going to bring it with him when he comes out here to Jersey this weekend.
