Who here owns a flask and how important is a captive top? I'm in the market for an English pewter flask and am leaning towards this one. Love the simplicity of it.

I have a similar top on mine, kind of mixed feelings about it. Since it's meant to be on the go, I can't imagine not having some sort of way to keep your top attached. My complaint, and it could just be that mine is not good quality, is that having it attached to a solid hinge can make it a bit difficult to get the top to swing down and align properly to then screw back on, requires some jiggling.
Edit: gonna have some gin
Well...sigh...it was gonna be some Gordon's but will go beefeaters instead to keep it slightly classy. Neither are flask worthy. Only one even deserves to poured into a glass made of glass.
Been grumbly all around lately and don't enjoy weed, booze, or food much so no point wasting good stuff.
Edit: that tom cat looks delicious. Once the funk lifts going back to bourbons.
Great Lakes makes an amber lager called Elliot Ness that could scratch that itch.
Brown ales aren't popular with brewers due to brown malt taking a long time to mellow during conditioning.
