What are you drinking tonight?

[Stiff Clamp]

Stumbled on this hoppy white tea blend just now . . . . with citrusy hops. Got low caffeine, no sugar, and no alcohol. Now my burps taste like it, but hey.

 

[MrSquished]

Allagash White, listening to some Genalex Gold Lion Tubes in my amp to the LCD-X headphones. It's auditory bliss.

Are they still using that for colonoscopies? My doctors switched to Miralax and Gatorade.

 

[GodisanAtheist]

Went to a small brewery in Indianola, IA called West Hill Brewing Company.

Had their West Coast IPA, Hazy IPA, And Red Ale.

Has sips of their Pilsner and their Stout.

All absolutely solid.

Really enjoy small town breweries. Tend to have solid fundamentals and less bullshitty "Wild Yeast Ale" avant garde crap or a billion iterations of IPA and instead have a well rounded selection of well executed standards.

Lapsang souchong tea

 

[I'dluv2]

My tax man takes care of me, and always trying to think of something to get him (never charges me or my family). Gift cards have wore out their welcome. Should have seen the smile on his face when he unwrapped these.

 

[bbhaag]

Got a little sample of some Whistlepig 12 year rye whiskey. Really good stuff with hints of fruit and a warm finish. If you are into the brown colored alcohol this is worth trying.

This is stupid good. I have to work tomorrow, this isn't fair.

Interesting. I may have to try. What's it like, $24 for a 4-pack? 😜

Looks like 11.99 at my total wine for a 4 pack of 11oz bottles. May also be getting that this weekend...

I've been on a rum kick lately and I've tried a couple of different brands of coffee infused rums. If it's available near you try Siesta Key Coffee Rum.

 

[BurnItDwn]

Coffee infused rums ... this sounds good ... I've been sticking to mostly middle tier Whiskies (stuff like Wild Turkey 101 or EW BIB) or occasional "nice" drinks like Redbreast, Ardbag, Laphroaig, or some of small batch Bourbons. Gonna have to look for that Siesta Key next time I go to a good liquor store

Never had any JW before but I've heard good things about it. I'm going to have to put it on my list.

 

[DigDog]

but at least they actually sell the f* thing where i live, so

good god, please don't do this to yourself.

*pedantic mode on*

Ok so, brief history lesson.

Back in the .. 60s? Yeah 1963, this beer was launched to be a "premium drink", and this was the time of black & white TV, where if you had money to pay for a commercial, EVERYONE would buy your shit. Back in those days normal italian dank wine, and beer was something that builders and other guys whose ass-crack shows when they work, would drink. They spent a shitload on commercials and, for a while things went well.
Then the world changed, more brands of beer were imported, and the sales of Nastro plumetted. You could buy a crate of these for less than the cost of the same amount of coca-cola. Idk what has gotten into them but apparently we're again in a moment in time when they want to push this as a "elite" product which is funny because of two reasons;

1. it's shit. And,
2. the original peroni brand beer, called "Peroni", THIS:

has been selling consistently since the 1800, has had ZERO cash spent on publicity, sells more and tastes better. It's genuinely a good drinking beer and since the association with the "muratore" is no longer a thing, it's actually competing against itself, since Nastro Azzurro is from the same brewery.

Oh by the way. The beer that changed Italy was this:

Had this in South Philly, during one of those Italian Market festivals. Not impressed with Peroni.

Interesting. I never saw the other version. Anyway, sometimes I like to try something different. I agree it's nothing special.

[BurnItDwn]

That is my brothers favorite tasting liquor. I do not enjoy it, but i'm not sure if its the "worst" either.

 

[lxskllr]

I actually do enjoy it in small quantities. I bought it this past weekend for the first time. I've been wanting to try it forever; I think based on comments you've made in the past. I was disappointed that it wasn't terrible :^D An ounce or so at a time is interesting and enjoyable. I just sip it, and appreciate it's lingering finish :^D
