Texas Lizard Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Yes the drinking kind...Was at the base doing monthly shopping over the weekend...Stopped by the package store to replace a dry bottle of Black Velvet...The store clerk got the bottle for me and ran it and the beer to my truck...I did not want to break anything...When I got home I was checking the bottle and discovered that it was plastic...When did they start putting booze in plastic bottles??? Am I behind the times.... Texas Lizard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I asked that question a year or so back. Actually, not so much WHEN but WHY. It was pints and half pints and miniatures that I'd see, at the side of the road. Never a REAL bottle - a fifth or a quart. The consensus on the wire was it was a WEIGHT thing. Glass is heavy, so putting it in plastic saved fuel when shipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Crimes Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Down here Black Velvet is Guiness and Champagne mixed together. Just dont try and stand up to quick if you are drinking it sitting down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 The Black Velvet is a beer cocktail made from a stout and white, sparkling wine, traditionally Champagne. The drink was first created by the bartender of Brooks's Club in London in 1861, to mourn the death of Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's Prince Consort.

Grumpy Old Man Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I'm a bourbon drinker. Bench Mark is a cheap good bourbon. Fifths are glass, big bottles are plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too Tall Bob Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I am glad this turned out to be about whiskey! I was afraid to look because I was pretty sure you were going on about your girl friend’s new dress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
