Yup. Main difference, I think is that I put a large amount of lime juice in the bottom of my drink and mix with the vodka before adding the ginger beer in my mules. I think with a Dark and Stormy, use just add a squeeze of lime at the end, more like a vodka tonic with lime. Probably not a huge difference in taste, but I try to do thing "properly." [Reply]

I agree. I use juice from two limes in all of my mules and I put it in the glass first. With the Dark and Stormy I'll juice half a lime on the top of the drink. [Reply]

You are one (or 2) limey bastard. I use half a limes juice and its pretty solid. [Reply]
I was up at Bigfork, Montana at Flathead lake last week and the weekend and tied into some Flathead Cherry Ale. This stuff was fantastic, I'm kicking myself for not bringing home a few cases. A great ale with a hint of cherry. I just emailed them to see if any distributers around Billings carry it.

Yup, that shit's pretty legit. Used to buy a few cases every summer.
My wife's work has an owner with a cabin up there. He sends buckets of Flathead cherries down to Phoenix every summer.
