šŸ» What's in your Glass Today: Episode II

No, the:

I’m not typically a larger drinker. I find them a bit light and generic for my taste.

But, some places around town have this New Zealand drop on tap, and I’ve noted it as a standout.

I scrolled way up. chocolate and coffee notes are wonderful. that glass has some weight and gravity. no dark lager there to the eye. 4% is interestingly low for some reason.

ā€œGently brewed then whacked up over a 1000ā€ :grinning_face:

It pairs nicely with these ā€œfree range non-caged potatoā€ chips too!

Oooh, made with free range potatoes! Those must be some good chips :laughing:.

this marketing team deserves a Gold medal.

Look at the three directions the spatula is raised. The victims: potatoes, a blonde girl and/or swine, and an octopus. The mermaid not in peril and underwater my favorite. A Marketing degree was so hot 20 years ago…

Yeah big time. It’s the unique doesn’t - take - itself - too - seriously Kiwi humor coming out too.

That’s his Bar-B-Mate :wink:

Are these found in other countries? They’re a staple in Aussie homes.

CHEEEEP DAY

this is not going in a glass today, just straight to liver.

At my local convenience store these are ringing up $6.87 for 3…which is a steal. That’s roughly $6USD for a 6-pack. Not too shabby and it’s good imported stuff. Even sludge like PBR is more expensive than this*, I know this is in error, and eventually the store will catch it, but until then EJ or bust.*

EJ Review: the most business-like of all the Mexican beers. It’s not festive, sugary, or lime-y. It’s a straight ahead brew.

One of my pet peeves is not displaying the % clearly on the label.

If I have to look too hard I put it back on the shelf! :slight_smile:

Same as most days, OP rum, maybe should have been a pirate

wow been about 10 years or more since I’ve tried this. It’s been about 3 years or more since I’ve been into a Trader Joe’s. The price was more than right.

If you forgive my synesthesia, this beer tastes like the midwest. Midwesterners (I’m from IA) will know what I’m talking about as well as other swill enthusiasts. First thing I thought was ā€œthis is Old Style beer with someone actually paying attention..ā€ Or Old Milwaukee if it they gave it a push over the edge. Better than Bud by a long shot.

I grilled fish sticks tonight (yeah you can put them on a grill) and had two of these and took a break…

Did I mention it was 6.2%ABV?

Again: 6.2%. Sweet buzz. EDIT: Really cheap too

:grimacing: = yeah that’s the natural immediate first gulp impression til the opening shock wears off and you go numb

then its all downhill

The girlfriend wanted to hit the local indoor shooting range today, so after shooting several hundred 9mm and .45 ACP rounds we’re now relaxing with a new (to us) cider - Unified Press from Citizen Cider (Burlington, Vermont USA).

Well, it’s tasty. A bit sweeter than off-dry but not too sweet. I’d like a bit more boldness in the apple flavor but it’s quite good. I will have to check out a few more of their offerings.

EDIT - Ehh, as I drink a little more of it I do think it’s a tad too sweet for my taste. Just a bit. Let’s say it’s just slightly past the borderline. Still good, though.

Now this is a cider that I can heartily recommend. Arlo extra-dry wild fermented cider (Shacksbury Cider, Vergennes, Vermont USA). Very dry, and just plain delicious. It’s a winner. There’s a hint of funkiness - just a hint - that makes it especially interesting.

(The girlfriend isn’t as fond of it as I am - oh well, more for me :grin:.)

oh no!

the wrong glass!!!

:face_savoring_food:

Lol afaik it’s just a random picture of a deer. It’s got my name engraved on it as it was a gift.

Or do you mean that it’s not a proper whiskey glass? If it was blended I’d probably just drink it out of a mug. :grin:


Some Earl Grey. :teapot:
