Another nifty Southern submission from Clay in Charleston this week – I’ve been meaning to send this in to you guys for a couple of months now and after I read your comments about bbq in the south a few weeks ago, I figured I should fire this over and give you an earful. My […]
Thirsty Thursday
From fly fishing bartender JT in Boise – Here’s another one for your Thirsty Thursday stack, The Tequila Highball. Our team has been making a push over the past couple of years to go back to some of the classics, at least in form, like the highball. Quality ingredients always yield superior results, and as […]
With the AFFTA Dealer Summit transpiring in Bozeman this week, I couldn’t help but notice that the participants spent a bit of time at several fine dining and beverage establishments in the area, including a spin through the Bozeman Spirits shop on Main. Being the astute observers of the use of fly fishing metaphors in […]
Our cup has suddenly started to run over with impressive adult beverage and cocktail recipe submissions over the past few weeks. This one comes from KJ in one of our favorite fall places – Northern New Mexico, with its surprisingly good fishing, great alpine fall colors, big elk herds, a fascinating architectural history and tremendous […]
Ever since the days we ran a horse operation in the Flathead, up between Kalispell and Columbia Falls not far off the main stem of the Flathead River, as a family we’ve always cast a wary weather eye on the month of October. A couple of the years we were running horses on the place […]
Lo and behold we missed another foodie holiday this past week – the 20th was National Rum Punch Day. Astute fly fisherwoman, discriminating bartender, and now friend of Chi Wulff Kristen B. from Houston sent this over yesterday – …I didn’t know if you guys saw that Sunday was National Rum Punch Day. That in […]
One of the true joys about helping run Chi Wulff has been meeting and interacting with people from all over the country (hell, from all over the world for that matter). Recognizing that there are folks on every continent who love fly fishing as much as we (you) do is both comforting and vision-expanding at […]
Today’s Thirsty Thursday adult beverage comes via friend DES in Kalispell along with an interesting story. …You guys will get a kick out of this. Steve, our son, spent the summer season guiding at one of the lodges up on Bristol Bay in Alaska. He had one hell of a time fishing and working up […]
Beer aficionados love to heap scorn upon, mock, sneer at and otherwise treat with contempt most mass-produced American lagers. We’d agree that much most just about all of that scorn has been earned and is well-deserved. That said, there are a few smaller, regional breweries around that have garnered national reputations for their respectable arrays of […]
While we typically devote Thirsty Thursday posts to a tasty adult beverage of one sort or another, consumed needless to say with the utmost care and decorum, now and again it’s fitting to pay homage to some other beverage that plays a critical role in the lives of those chasing fish with a fly rod. […]
Today’s Thirsty Thursday tasty adult beverage was sent over by an old friend we haven’t heard from in a while. He, Missouri River Steve, once worked in a position we all admired greatly, that being a hard-working Montana fly fishing guide based on the Missouri, though occasionally venturing off to fish the Big Hole and […]
Standing in solidarity with our friends in Colorado (New Mexico and Utah too!), particularly those in Southwest Colorado who witnessed last week the near unthinkable as more than 3,000,000 gallons of mustard colored sludge blasted down Cement Creek and then down the Animas, we’re tagging the classic Coors as this week’s Thirsty Thursday brew. German […]
It’s been a challenging week around our camp. We’ve had a few twists and turns off the planned path and at times been tired and cranky. It’s high summer and if you happen to be stuck in the South right now, and by ‘the South’ I mean any geographical location south of Cheyenne, you’ve probably […]
Another great summer adult beverage submitted from tribe Chi Wulff – this Summer Garden Basil Watermelon Cooler was sent in this past week by Victoria in Rockport (Texas) with this note – We’ve been down chasing redfish all week out of Rockport and Port Aransas with and staying with friends; our host has a huge […]
Austin-based friend, fisher, and food & beverage mentor Libby emailed this past week and asked if we were still enjoying a gift bottle of Mezcal that popped in a few months ago (thanks again, Sinjin!). Knowing our shared penchant for a good margarita (among other things), she said we simply had to try a new […]
