I think it originally was the "Thread O'Beer REVIVED" but we made it generally fermented sugar beverage related.Boddington wrote: ↑03 Aug 2020, 8:56amIt appears this has become a beer thread, but in honor of getting hurricane'd tomorrow, I'm going to pick up some rum and ginger beer and make dark and stormys.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Yeah Im no booze aficionado either.BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑04 Aug 2020, 10:25amIt's good but a bit over priced ($35 for a 750). I kind of bought it on a whim a few weeks back. I really can't taste a huge difference between this and a $17 bottle of Haitian or Dominican I usually get.

That's some good rot-gut. I recommend using it for a hot whiskey/hot toddy in colder seasons.revbob wrote: ↑06 Aug 2020, 10:53pmI picked up a bottle of Paddy's in your honor.BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑04 Aug 2020, 10:25amIt's good but a bit over priced ($35 for a 750).

In the garden, end of the week, headphones in with some still perry. It's ok but a little too sweet for me, like perry/cider/wine as dry as possible.
Re: Thread O'Booze REVISED!
A coworker thanked me for helping him out with stuff (as opposed to going thru channels) and got me a mixed 12 pack of Sierra Nevada. Half of it is IPAs so Ill be giving those away. Having a regular old pale ale from it though and thats good

Re: Thread O'Booze REVISED!
Good shout on the IPAs. Can't be doing with that overwhelming fruity, zesty, whatever flavour.
I gave up on the perry and opted for this. Only 3.7% but so so tasty.
