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

At Kroger it was the 2019 2 for $6.50usd price (usually it’s $9 :frowning: ) .

Victoria calls itself a ā€œVienna Styleā€ mexican beer as most have German root.

I think I will have the fruity dessert beer first, then the lager proper, in case sequence mattered. Cheers

Man, I love great wine and great beer (emphasis on great).

But you know, a good cider - preferably unfiltered - is a mighty fine beverage.

Downeast Cider (Boston, Massachusetts USA) Original Blend. Unfiltered. Just a tad sweeter than I’d prefer but that’s OK, it’s got a very honest apple flavor that satisfies.

Cheers!

I like that one !


Having a few of these for my cousin, he passed on Monday after struggling with some life issues for a while. Reach out if you need to, people care.

every few years I gift myself 6 of these. This is an easy beer to drink all of. I just started. Shiner a tiny Texas town where time stopped: same beer, same taste & recipe, same label, same blurb, same color over the years,. Caramel finish and definitely what you hipsters call a ā€œsessionā€ beer. It’s funny they call it a ā€œlagerā€ in the blurb on back and a ā€œbockā€ on the front label. I don’t know the difference.

I only know it’s 4.4% abv where regular macro lager is 3.5 thereabouts. So buzz factor :slight_smile:


A bit fancy but it was a gift so bottoms up, I need a drink

Onto the second bottle now, have 1 more think i might trade it now i looked this up right, 300 to 1200 a bottle? who the f pays that? thats me covered for a good year easy.

this happens sometimes

Just drinking it neat tbh though it could do with an ice cube in this heat…

Something a bit more on my level tonight

Got some of these today:

Nice hoppy midwest beer.:face_with_tongue:

I have never tasted bitter before, so gave this one a try. Really nice, definitely going to grab one of these next time when buying a beer.

Bitters are quite hard to find (or at least I have not found them) in Finland. This one is made by Eastern-Finnish brewery.

I’ll take a Jack Daniels please! :laughing:

CONS: tiny, overpriced, chemical swill

PROS: great chocolate vodka taste, and puts me to sleep at the end of the day which is hard to do

guilty pleasure from Circle K the last few days. a flirtation that can’t last

I love bitter alcohol, slows me down and hits the spot just right


Love my rum

I -have- had ¹ just started on a pint of Old Original. I know the coaster is a Tiger one but apparently that sells more:

A lovely pint of bitter, at a premises where it is kept excellently. 5.2ABV (and for those outside the UK, by ā€œpintā€ we mean 0.568L Not those poncy 440ml cans which are usually sold in chain supermarkets here; that isn’t even a US Pint, as far as I know).

¹ I wanted to post that at the time, but got fed up trying to send the photo I’d just taken to this forum, on the stupid SpamDroidā„¢ device which only wants to ā€œshareā€ your personal content via its servers within its own ecosystem. :hammer: I thought Crappleā„¢ were the ones who did that.

I used KDE Connect to transfer it to the computer, when I was back at home.

This I share most photos and video from my phone and also keep my games that are emulated synced so I can play same save on pc and mobile.

Damn you, @drunkenvicar :laughing:. Your recent talk about lagers put me in the mood to try a new (to me) lager: Staycation Land brilliant lager (Baxter Brewing, Lewiston Maine USA).

I’m not much of a lager fan in general, but I’ve had a few decent beers from Baxter so I gave this lager a test drive.

Well I hate it :rofl:. I’m not a lager fan in general, but I can at least appreciate a good one. I don’t consider this a good one. It has no crispness to it (and I expect at least a meager amount of crispness to a lager). It’s not bland like the big commercial lagers (rhymes with Mud Geyser) but it’s…well…a different kind of bland. I find it dull. The flavors (some mildly biscuity maltiness, very light hoppiness, and a slight hint of citrus) are rather subdued, and nothing coalesces into any sort of satisfying whole. I expected more, and I got way less.

Of course, perhaps a lager fan would find this at least interesting. Not me. So again, damn you @drunkenvicar.

Nonetheless, I’m going to suffer through the whole six-pack - but I’ll be letting the expletives fly with each sip :rofl:.

A drinkable, daily lager–unlike Ale–is a minefield. The American Macro swill much of the time is better than American ā€œcraftā€ brewer lager. American craft brewers despise their lagers and pils and the product reflects it. Ale is 95% of their market. Are you shocked Coors is making a comeback, as chemical corn as it is?

Lager Pro Tip: Mexico and Europe.

I really like you cursing my name after every beer, as long as you drink all six! Lager/pils you gotta be picky with.

This is the sword I’m falling on tonight: cheap German wheat beer. 5.5% and tasty and easy on the system.

You are right. Good lagers have a crispness and hoppiness. Not the micros.. :grinning_cat:
