Tonight it's a few different varieties from microbrasserie archibald, including a delicious belgian white. Mmmm.
Had a bottle of Courvoisier that was 8 years old when I bought it that had been sitting around for 20 years when we bought it on our honeymoon.
Was pretty good, but I'll probably never buy it again myself.
Watching it sit on the dresser for 20 years was a bit odd.
Root beer schnapps.
FUCK YOU! I LIKE IT!
It was my birthday this week, so I broke open something a little special.
Is that anything like this?
Or are you legitimately drinking Root Beer Schnapps like a 14 year old girl?
I glanced at that at the liquor store today. Is it a quality product, or just crap for people who don't like alcohol?
I was actually curious so I picked some up. And it basically tastes like root beer. No alcohol taste whatsoever. It's really, really sweet, so it starts getting hard to drink; I feel like my teeth are rotting out of my head as I drink it. But if you like Barq's, it's a pretty good alcoholic replacement. Maybe serve it over ice to water it down and cut down the sugar a bit.
Most of the root beer is brewed and packaged 238 miles away, at the former G. Heileman Brewing plant now owned by City Brewing in La Crosse, Wis.
Kovac said that City Brewing uses his original recipe.
The La Crosse plant, however, is known primarily for the production of Mike's Hard Lemonade, Smirnoff Ice and other so-called malternatives.
These drinks, which are not generally regarded as real beer, are fermented from grains and sugar, then stripped down to their essential taste-free alcohol and reflavored artificially.
It's a fairly advanced technique, one that no small, largely inexperienced craft brewer would likely tackle on his own.
Kovac and the names of two other area men are listed on Small Town's state liquor license. Nonetheless, there is ample evidence that the brewery is either controlled by or in a partnership with a much larger company called Phusion Projects LLC.
