A Shot of Four Roses and a Cool Steg

My wife and I took my Mom & her sister Helen out for dinner to pre-celebrate my Mom's 82nd birthday last weekend. For a variety of reasons, we decided on going to Dukey's.
 
And guess what...we'll be back!
 
Good food, good prices, good service...and the place was packed. 
 
 
 

The conversation during dinner was wide-ranging, but at one point, I asked about my Mom's father and what type of beer he liked to drink. The unanimous answer was Stegmaier. And immediately thereafter, Aunt Helen added that he liked a shot of Four Roses from time to time, and that he did not like his beer cold.
 
More glimpses of the past...way too cool.
 
Now it's been at least 30 years since I was last at Dukey's, and probably just as long since I had a draught Stegmaier. As I was planning to drive home that evening, I wasn't able to do a shot of Four Roses, but in honor of days gone by and JTR...I will someday soon.
 
I will begin posting more regularly in the weeks ahead.
 
Ring a Ding-ding...do the Stegmaier thing!
