What are you drinking tonight?

[bbhaag]

Sipping on a glass of brandy while enjoying a fire. It might not get any better than this.

I drank a bottle of Fever Tree Ginger Beer.

It's getting chillier by the day and I just prepared a 1/2 cup of Earl Grey tea.

I drank a bottle of Fever Tree Ginger Beer.

How is that one? I love Reed's, but it's usually $12 for a 4 pack of bottles if I can even find it. Most Ginger Ales/Beers I just don't find strong enough (Canada Dry or similar is like drinking water).

I may procure some Space Dust later on whilst binge watching Man on the Inside season 2.

While looking for an image, I saw these...



WTF is a tea capsule?! How is that a meaningful improvement over a teabag? You gotta be a completely worthless piece of shit to wrap a bit of tea in a disposable plastic cup.

No space dust in stock. Had to settle for a sixer of…

 

[Red Squirrel]

Decided to crack open a bottle of red wine. Linderman's Shiraz.

I usually drink white but once in a while I get a craving for red. If I don't stop myself I might finish the bottle tonight lol.

I got this yesterday. Local distiller, and made with Maryland grapes. Has a bit of a firey edge, so I added a splash of water to tame it a little. It's good. Reminds me a bit of armagnac, and it's cool that it's local(ish).

My staple brandy(Asbach) hasn't been around for a couple years, and it's hard finding a good brandy that isn't gutter swill or cognac. Brandy just isn't popular for some reason, but it's a good value compared to scotch. That's amusing, cause I think scotch got kickstarted due to the high price of brandy :^D

Got this when I bought the brandy. Italians sure do like their sugar. It's got a nice flavor, but it's way too sweet. I don't think this is something I'll get again. I'm 0/2 so far with amaros. I want bitter, not sweet. I'm gonna try hunting down more northern Euro bitters. They seem to be more to my liking.

I LOVE a good brandy or even a good cognac. I might catch some flack for saying this but I like them even more than a good whiskey, bourbon, or scotch.

I like brandy a lot, but I find it a little uninteresting. They're all very close takes on a theme. I happen to enjoy that theme very much, but I prefer scotch, where 5 different distilleries can have dramatically different takes on the style. But brandy is great, and when I want brandy, scotch won't do. Not as well anyway.

Kid is home so we celebrate with some Asahi Super Dry.

i'm in Morocco, and the beer brand Oranjeboom makes beer that goes all the way up to 20% alcohol. I had some of the 12% and after 3 cans i was wiped out. The 20% is undrinkable.

Honestly once you get to about 9%abv most beer tastes awful, pretty much the only beers that work at that strength and above are stouts and Imperial stouts.

Sierra Nevada FTW

Their pale ale, stout, and Torpedo IPA are all top tier. Previously posted Bigfoot and Celebration outstanding too. Used to really love their Southern Hemisphere Harvest with New Zealand hops maybe 10 years ago but haven't seen it in a long time.
