The name is from a dream I had as a little lad “if you get um’ drunk, they will come”. For a strong brew this is a sweet tasting, slightly bitter after taste they will please the most refine taste buds “that sexy lil’ thing at the bar…if you know what I mean” Enjoy and please let me know what you think if you brew the recipes, please feel free to look at my other recipes.
