for christmas for a friend and myself, I made maple syrup-infused bourbon.  It's really simple, just equal parts pure maple syrup (not as sickeningly sweet as the Aunt Jemima crap) and a quart of decent bourbon or rye.  I used Ezra Brooks, which I enjoy.

Just combine 2 cups bourbon and 1.5 cups maple syrup in a quart-sized mason jar.  Then seal the jar and shake well.  put it in the fridge and shake every day for a week or so.

Picked up a variety pack of Tallgrass Brewing Co. beer. Comes in a CAN! Don't see that too often, at least around here

   

These two are pretty damn tasty.

Got my hands on some very good gin from the first distillery in town

i'll let you guys know next week.  I hear it cuts the alcohol taste from it, but i'm sure the bourbon taste is strong enough to shine through.

That commercial honey bourbon is crap. Stick to Drambuie or make it yourself.

2011's batch of BOURBON COUNTY STOUT.  I compared it to a 2009 bottle and it blows it out of the water.  Best beer I've had in 2011.  Also got a bottle of Auchentoshan Single Malt Scotch 12 year old for New Year's that was excellent.

New Belgium Brew brought out new spring ale couple weeks ago. Great light ale with fruity aftertastes.

Bell's Hopslam Ale

Had those both on tap the other night at a local pub and they are excellent.

El Jimador - tequila reposado

Some favourites of mine:

Whisky: Laphroaig
Brandy:obvious choice, but has to be Courvoisier
Tequila: Sauza Gold feels great to me
Gin: very much enjoy Xoriguer, made on the island of Menorca
Wine: once had a bottle of 2001 (I think) Chateau Mouton de Rothchild which resembled MDMA in its effects
Beer: Weihenstephaner Krystallweissbier

I really enjoy Greek alcohol, retsina and ouzo.

With the cans, you have to pour it as you are opening it.  Kind of tricky...   

all that work for chocolate sauce mixed with bog water? 

just picked 6er of Hap's & Harry's Lager as well as Stone Levitation Ale. both great brews!

Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine Style Ale - a hop-forward, full bodied BIG brew (almost 10% ABV)
Bell's Two Hearted Ale - very nice IPA
homebrewed Chipotle brown ale - smokey and a strong heat aftertaste (almost like heartburn, coming from the back of the throat). Not really a brew where you want more than one bottle in a sitting

the water comes from springs in the Wicklow Mountains.  as for the other ingredients:  barley, hops, and yeast.  as for chocolate sauce, not sure how you came up with that analogy.

Probably the most crucial ingredient that makes Guinness what it is, is nitrogen. It gives it that thick, creamy, long-lasting head and also the cascading bubbles.
