They look like the old Root Beer barrels that they used to tap at the Willow Drive-in, Celina, OH, back in the 60's. That was my Aunt and God Mother's (Ruth) favorite place to go (Root Beer and Frosties) after I did yardwork for Grandma, Mil, and Ruth. Thanks for the memory, Dan'l!

You ARE welcome brother!
Yes, while living in Iowa, my favorite restaurant had big barrels of "Hires Rut Beer", empty, awaiting the old time truck with the sliding upward doors.

That could keep me happy for a while !
The original smoker was a metal "teepee" shaped smoker that stood 8 ft tall. Huge racks of ribs would smoke for days and the smell would waft through the neighborhood!
Yes my most favorite of "finger foods" lazlo! I am a "Cro-magnon" human when ribs enter the picture!

Nice shot, Dan. I like the clarity and tone of those barrels. I wonder if there is still some "good stuff" in them?
There IS Joachim!
The McClintock distillery is famous for its award winning whiskeys. https://mcclintockdistilling.com/
Also During Prohibition (1920–1933), Maryland was known as the "wettest" state in the U.S. and was the only state to refuse to pass state-level legislation to enforce the 18th Amendment. It supplied many people, places and things with its famous rye whisky.
Thanks!
