Currently drinking Sir Edwards. Some cheap, rather shitty whiskey. But it's ok after the weekend. Saturday has disappeared. It's a pity. I love that day sometimes.

my friend bought me a bottle of Maker's Mark 46 for my birthday last month. First time I had tried it and I really enjoyed it. It's smooth like regular Maker's Mark, but the burn is so minor that I could drink it like water. I love bourbon.

I think I still like the normal version better but it was still really good.  I don't normally buy inbev products but I'll make the exception.  I need to find some KING HENRY.

Wow. Such a shamefully good image that I can almost taste it.. The evening I can't drink..

Finally managed to present myself with some alco. This:



With this drink, years ago I had a rather bad experience. I was at the conference in Tallinn and so it's the final evening, dinner and so on and Estonians present their "national drink" - Vanna Tallinn with champagne. Vanna Tallinn is a liqouer. Rum-based. So I have quite a lot of these, then some beer and finally two bottles of wine. I don't remember how I've returned to my room, but I wake up in the morning and I see the nice print of my vomit all over the white walls of the hotel. it's like the hair of these girls that do this:



So I take the curtains off and try to wash it, but i'm feeling so bad that i decide to leave it as it is and go to the conference. and there are all Lithuanians smiling at me, I'm late for 3 hours, the guy who had to be in the same room with me came at night, looked at my vomit and went to sleep in the car and we are still barely talking with him, etc. So nice memories of this weird drink, mixed with champagne.

Was in Minneapolis last weekend and stopped at a nice liquor store with great beer selection. Dropped like $100 but it's so worth it:

Surly Abrasive Ale   <--- !!!!
Surly CynicAle
Stone Ruination IPA
Unibrou Le Fin Du Monde
Unibrou Maudite
Delirium Tremens
a few different Belgian sours (Duchess, Rodenbach Grand Cru)

Been homebrewing quite a bit lately. Here's what I got either fermenting or in bottles right now:

Belgian Golden Strong Ale
Vienna Lager
Chocolate Rye Stout
Rye IPA
Dry-hopped IPA


So ya, I spend way too much $$$ on beer. I don't really drink to get drunk though, a little buzz is usually the extent of it.

Tried an Icelandic liquor some week ago, made from lichen (since they don't have any proper grain or anything else edible growing up there). Tasted like something that would be very effective to clean your toilet or remove rust stains from your car with. Can't remember what it was called, but the bottle looked pretty good.

Otherwise, looking forward to trying out this new brewery, based only a few kilometres from here: http://www.brekeriet.se/brekeriet/ - their smoke beer looks very attractive, but it was sold out last time I checked.

My wife has got me a bottle of the following for Xmas:



And I believe a bottle of Glenfiddich is under the tree, courtesy of my Scotch-drinking grandfather without whom I probably wouldn't have the same interest in whisky.

Quote from: bitewerksMTB on December 17, 2012, 09:49:46 PMWhat it abrasive? There's a mountain bike company called Surly. Looking at the Surly site, the Darkness beer looks good just for the art on the bottle.

Abrasive Ale is an imperial IPA, so if you like hops and bitterness then you'll probably love it. It's a damn good brew. Pretty much every beer I've had from Surly is high quality.

Good luck finding any Darkness. That has turned into one of those "holy grail" beers that people all over the world lust after (kind of like Russian River's Pliny the Elder). They even have a "Darkness Day" at the Surly HQ where people camp out just for a chance to buy it.
