Discuss your favourite alcohol in this thread and the way you like to drink it be it neat, chilled, with ice or in a cocktail or mixed drink. Look down on others who drink competing brands who you think lesser of or if you feel the way they drink their alcohol is unmanly.
I was just hanging out with some coworkers after work for the first time in a few years. One of the other guys was some African immigrant. I offered him one of my Blue Moons and he bit the cap off with his teeth. I kindly reminded him it was a twist off and we all had a laugh.
got a case of barolo 2016 - ettore germano
>>20393835Hey i just drank one of those. Very nice beer, one of my favorites.
I just like all the cheap beers except Rolling Rock and PBR. Those are loaded with sugar
>>20393960yeah i can't really get them where i live but it was my favourite german beer brand
>>20394001I don't mind PBR but haven't had one in about a decade.
I discovered that i like pinot noir

I miss the Trader Joe's 2 buck chuk. Those bastards took it away from us
>>20394305>Not mentioning the superior Trader Joe's beverageCan't beat it.
>It's the Fruit Punch Four Loko but higher qualityHoly shit this is amazingThey've been knocking it out of the park with the new flavors, the Pina Colada one is great a well. They're honestly starting to give those Suntory Strong Zero drinks from Japan a run for their money, I swear to god

>>20394407you make mead?
>>20393835Drinking this right now, it's not very good. Way too low on the juiciness and way too high on the low end malt extract, tastes like musty raisins.
>>20394402I'm saucy enough where I can out-woman them at their own game and sus out their deepest insecurities because I have no filter and I'm too confident to effectively bully.Social shaming doesn't work on someone that has no friends in this world and has nothing to loseI am your worst nightmare
>>20394402Beer boys don't touch liquor. Trust me
>>20394425A true alchie will at least try any beverage containing ethanol. Myself that's one of my favorite things about drinking, finding some booze I haven't seen before and giving it a go. Doesn't always work out, but what is life without risk and adventure?
>>20394420>I am your worst nightmare...a tranny?
Why would you want to fuck Carrie Nation, anyway? You really expect a bunch of bones buried in dirt to respond when you call it "mommy" and stick your dick where the vagina used to be?

>>20394420yo this is legitimately one of the most homosexual posts ive read in a while and i browse /gif/
>>20393835I like most basic Domestic beers with the boys or at a sports pub, at home I like to buy keith's, I'll make a Rye old fashioned with bitters and a sugar cube and ice sometimes
>>20394788I know, it's just fun to harangue him. Good to see the jannies hard at work though.To get back on topic, this is what a fruity IPA SHOULD be. Strong, genuinely fruity and hoppy, not too heavy on the malt. Delightful.
>>20393835Lager of any type is great. I still like some ales, but lagers are just crisp and more refreshing to me.Wine I love vouvray for whites. Again crisp kind of tart, refreshing. Reds I go with a local malbec. Riojas are good too from what I've triedLiquor, haven't found one I dislike. I guess rum isn't my favorite but only when it's neat. It's just too sweet
>>20394192I can confirm this. wine is not worth the hangover, just like vodka and sprite but that is no longer an option anyway since the new sprite tastes like shit now (33cal/100ml)
>>20395535I think they did something to the canada dry ginger ale. I tried some with whiskey a few weeks ago and it was awful
>>20394420another victim of the homosexual agenda, many such cases
>>20393835Franziskaner sucks. Better go for Paulaner or Erdinger
I'm a little over 2 weeks Sober, and I drank daily for 6 years.If I do it you can too.get better.Seek help.
>>20393835I've recently come to the conclusion that Apothic Red is my red wine of choice for casual drinking. It's mild and easy to drink with a good bouquet and a nice flavor. And at $10 a bottle it's something I feel happy to buy by the case so I always have some bottles at the ready. It's not fancy but it's not meant to be. I like it.
>>20395709seconded - never trust a brand that puts "monks" on the bottlea true monk would never do thatbesides all your brews are carefully monitored but even erdinger is kinda watery to my tasteim more of a Ayinger guy myself as well as Unibroue is great tooloved duvels but my country is poor - and those are now $16 a bottle its jewish insanity
>>20393835Wanted to find out what was so great about this one. Third brand I've tried and it's good
I grew up in a strict no-alcohol household and I've literally never consumed it in my life. I'm kinda curious about how it tastes and feels and it seems pretty hard to socialize in the >current year without drinking at all but I've also had people tell me they wish they had never started drinking. Is it worth getting into, based on your experiences?
>>20396080Start with chick drinks, they taste like candy and get you hammered. You'll never know if you'll regret it unless you try it.
>>20393835>puts frenchfags on suicide watch
>>20396080IMO everyone should try alcohol at least once in life, it's a vital part of the human experience. Which non alcoholic beverages do you enjoy? That can be a good way to determine which alcohol you may enjoy, or at the very least can serve as a mixer.
>>20396096I like strong ginger ales and root beers and anything with a 'spicy' taste to it. For non spicy stuff I like the juneberry and strawberry red bulls the most.
>>20393835alcohol is poison.
white is better than red and nothing anyone says can change this objective reality
>>20396080If you've never drank please don't start. I wish I'd never.
>>20393835>>20393960>>20395709>>20395798how infantile must your palate be to voluntarily buy wheat beer
>>20393835Dumb question, but what kind of beer do you recommend for somebody who doesn’t like beer? It all tastes like watery bread to me. I can throw back straight whiskey just fine, and I love rum and coke, but the beers I’ve tried all taste like shit to me.
>>20396248i can threaten you with a knife and we'll see how your "objective reality" holds up
>>20396492you can start by mentioning which beers you've tried so far, retard
Drank a 200mL of pic rel. the other day, bit exxy ($30aud) but nice and smooth and worth it for the experience. Don't think I'd buy a full 700mL bottle though, it's just too expensive and black is almost as good at just over half the price.>>20396080It is bliss, and unless you're retarded it's pretty easy to limit your intake.>>20396091Chick drinks are like 5% alc. and 30g of sugar, you'll die of sugar overdose before you'll get hammered.>>20396248>more sugar>more acid>less alcoholSure bud.
it's nice, first time I've tried white port
>>20393835I've got four little shot bottles of Kraken. What should I do with them?
>>20396842pour all of them into a glass, then>option 1: mix with coke and get diabetes >option 2: throw them in the trash and get something decent>option 3: be a doomsday prepper and save them
>>20396110I'd say rum is most suited for you, either spiced rum or regular in combination with a strong ginger beer.
My favorite cocktail is one I devised called “A Kick In The Shit”It’s;>Silver Tequila>Canada Dry Bold Ginger Ale>Splash of Lime Juice>Five Hour EnergyMakes you feel like fighting, I’m not long for this world and i know it
>>20397349>>20396110Oh and gin would be a good option if you like herbal/bitter flavors as well.
>>20397381godspeed
Now drinking this, it's a nice fruity beer but still fairly strong. Tastes like pineapple and lemon.One of the local liquor stores has a $2 singles fridge, which I really like. It's a great way to try various different craft beers without having to spend $10-15 on a 6 pack.
>>20396475take your meds and drink your corn syrup in silence - you failed to shill your shitty product
>>20397827what corn you retardreal beer is made of barley
Franziskaner is mid, Weihenstephaner is better but for me, it's Rothaus, the best wheat beer.
>>20394122I'm usually a ryefag but this is my favourite scotch because of how smokey it is
>>20394910>fruited hazy ipaI am so fucking sick of this. Can we PLEASE go back to west coast ipas that taste like chewing a pine cone?
>>20396595I'm really tempted to try the Green. It's not that much more expensive than Black (at least here), but people say it's the best one out of the JW line.But there's also a lot of people that say it *used* to be the best, but the current year batches are shit.wat do?
>>20396080the key with alcohol as with many things is moderation, if you feel you have an addictive personality or have problems with self control or peer pressure (never try keeping up with other peoples drinking, how people handle liquor varies wildly) then absolutely stay away. but if you don't feel free to try. Like I've known enough alcoholics to never be stupid enough to go too far, but I enjoy a good drink I would actually start with beer. the alcohol content isn't so high as to sneak up on you and the taste is different enough for you to know there's booze without being too harsh like trying straight liquor>>20396492like for flavor? something like a chocolate stout/porter definitely doesn't taste like bread but I'm not sure if niche stuff like that is what you meant or more a regular one
>>20396475>thing bad
>>20393835franzsikaner dunkel, take it from me you won't regret it, and if you want to go deeper then get aventinius
>>20393835Here are the beers that, years ago, got me into good beer. Discuss.
Gonna drink 6 of these today and pass out
Is rose good or is it for women and fags?I've never had it but it looks like something nice to drink outside when the weather gets nice
>>20396093I'm not paying $60/bottle for a house blend.If it doesn't have a single variety, vintage, and vinyard, then I'm not buying it.
>>20396248White wines too often make me think someone took some grape juice and just added a tiny bit of vodka to make it feel alcoholic. Reds tend to have rounder flavor profiles, fuller bodies, and taste more distinct from non-alcoholic beverages.
>>20398287Last time I had a rose, it was basically like a hybrid of a white and red wine. You should try it at least once and decide for yourself.>>20398308>If it doesn't have a single variety, vintage, and vinyard, then I'm not buying it.Based
>>20397829>>20397827>not drinking every now and then some cheap watery corn beer with your friends so you can appreciate even more good beer when you drink itngmi
>>20396110Sweet mixed drinks made at home allow you to control the alcohol content to-taste, you don't have to feel stuck with any particular ratio:Rum and CokeDark and Stormy (Rum and Ginger Beer)Gin & TonicSweet, low alc% (5% or less) commercial drinks are also easy introductions:Alcoholic ginger beer (Crabby's)Alcoholic ciders, vodka coolersIf you're comfortable with bitter flavours (like black coffee, 80%+ dark chocolate) then you'll probably also be fine with most beer.But before you start drinking alcohol at all you should be fully committed to one idea: you don't have to drink. I mean this like you don't need to drink to be social, you don't need to drink a beer just because someone offered it to you or called you a pussy, you don't need to drink the rest of the bottle of wine just because you opened it, and you don't need to drink the entire 6-pack just because you bought it. If you're not 100% comfortable stopping when your brain and body have had enough, then you're going to have problems. Most people don't like alcohol when they first try it, but people tend to develop a taste for it over time and as they get older (tastebuds change). If you have an addictive personality generally or tend towards excess, like if you open a bag of chips and won't stop until the entire bag is gone or you can't go a day without icecream or something, then you're probably going to run into problems with alcohol if you develop a taste for it. In that case it's better just not to start.>>20398316Pretty much my experience with whites as well. I basically only ever buy reds; usually carmenere, pinot noir, or shiraz.
>>20394039If you’re used to drinking better beer it’s going to taste like ass unless you’re already buzzin
>>20396627Try the 20yr if you’re having an occasion. It’s $55 and it’s amazing. Goes well with a cigar.
>>20398115Did you start drinking beer in the fall? Seems like good fall beers. Admittedly chocolate stout isn't my favorite and I've never tried a vanilla porter. Flavored desert stouts/porters aren't my thing I like the base beer. Have you had them again recently? What do you drink today. Sam Adams Octoberfest is one my favorite.
>>20398287They're really good when done well, crisp and juicy like a white wine but with a decent amount of rich body as well. Often has a light red fruit flavor, like strawberries or watermelon, and goes well with those fruits as a result
>>20396842>Ginger beer, mint, and a lemon wheel. >One part kraken, two parts water, brown sugar, a tad of lemon/lime juice. The go to's.

>>20398287Rose has a ridiculous amount of sugar (more than coke), and has low alcohol so you'll have to drink at least one bottle if you're not drinking anything else, and most likely two or three.It's even worse than port, and that's saying something.>>20398642Johnny Walker Black is the best value whisky of all time, very cheap by whisky standards yet is very solid. There's no reason to avoid JW at all except for Red but even it's not that bad compared to cheap garbage.

My roommate just bought a bottle of Von Payne Black. What is he in for?
>>20399351bought it at the end of 2021. Friar Tuck had one in the case. it was a good year.
>>20393835I drink a lot of Franziskaner because it's the only widely available weissbier in my country. Is it actually any good compared to other weissbiers? I tried Weihenstephaner but it tasted the same.
>>20399206>It's even worse than port, and that's saying something.get off my board tastelet

I know the 18 is basically $500, minimum $1k for a 21 and the 25 is over $2k. last year I bought all my special bottles from the UK and the price for shipping made it so that I was only paying an extra $20 per bottle.>decided to tro some ribeyes on the grillMeat, good. Whisky, good.
>>20399812Enjoying the finer things can be a gift AND a curse. Too much of something good is never healthy after all. But I can’t stop consuming the finer things and I will continue to consume them until my joints swell with uric acid and it hurts to walk. An important question to ask is whether we deserve the finer things, considering what someone has to do to be able to acquire them. Nobody gets to the top clean, you always have to climb over someone else’s corpse or broken dreams. It must be so sad for all of those people looking up from the grotto, seeing a brute such as myself sucking down escargot, and escar-TOES. It’s all about being admired, being the center of attention. I think that’s what truly drives someone to seek out the finer things. For instance, one time I went into a youtuber’s minecraft server and I was the belle of the ball when I told everyone I’m a seventeen year old girl. It felt great! It might have been my first taste of the finer things. And it was definitely their first taste of blackmail.I often wonder what my life would be like if I didn’t have such a pursuit for the high life, such a knack for luxury. Perhaps it’s only meant for certain people, and that’s why when you get to it, it tastes so much sweeter. But then again I wonder what the cost truly was. A happier life perhaps? Well tell that to the Scottish whiskey I’m sipping on which cost about as much as a month of rent in that shithole New York. Ahhh yes yes the finer things, the finer things indeed. I hope one day we can all experience the finer things, but until then, more for me.
>>20399822everything in moderation. including moderation.
What is a simple 3 ingredient mixed drink I can make using commonly available components, no special equipment or techniques beyond mixing in the cup and can be achieved at an acceptable level of quality at a price point per unit of alcohol equivalent to a 12er of light beers?
>>20399812yeah i'm australian so importing liquor is basically illegal without a liquor license and if it weren't you'd be taxed out your ass to make it not worth it because everyone with a liquor license would cry that people can buy cheaper alcohol by not purchasing it from them
>>20399932lots of grey area, but usually shipping is discrete enough to make the trip without interference.
>>20399921All sours. So daiquiris, whiskey sours etc. Those with liqueurs as sugar such as a sidecar are more exensive.
>>20396080Both my parents died of complications from alcohol use disorder. You're not missing much by not drinking. I had legal consequences from drinking during my teenage years but now I am older and have children of my own. I have beer and wine occasionally and hope my kids don't get to watch me die in hospital from liver failure or Wernicke-Korsakoff. Cheers.
>>20396080It was worth it for me. It helped me release 18 years of pent up tension and anxiety and relax. After I started drinking I lost my virginity (while sober) and became capable of having friends and holding down a job. You don't even need to be drunk all the time, just experiencing the breath of relief from the constant strain of existence showed me that there was another side to life and practicing being relaxed and chill while drunk let me channel that calm mindset while sober. Pretty much cured my autism.

Whats the best scotch I can get for like $50? I haven't investigated in a while so I'm out of the game, my ideal flavor profile is "oak tree burned down by lighting strike" and I'm aware that the rule for me is bigger number is better, single cask, and Islay
>>20395798>a true monk would never do thatsure, but they drank beer, which is why companies do it
They stopped selling Unibroue at my local shi-shi-foo-foo liquor store. What the fuck is with that.
>>20401496>like $50>single cask Islayif you have a Total Wine within a reasonable distance, look for pic related or anything like it. apart from that you can only expect shit like Ardbeg Wee Beastie or Laphroaig Select.
>>20401653I got jewful state controlled liquor but I'll keep an eye out, thanks

I made the mistake of buying the priciest huangjiu/yellow wine in the corner shop yesterday. It tastes so fucking bad. I hate it so much. It makes me hate myself so much. Why do people drink this? It's just cooking wine at ten times the price. I don't feel cheated, I feel victimised.
>>20401651Zoomers and brown people don't like quality import beers, if they drink beer at all it's either the standard American adjunct lagers or some fruity IPA.
>>20402931My understanding is that this is basically how Americans have always operated.
>>20402904LmaoChug it
>>20402974I did. Thanks to alcohol's wonderful numbing properties it gets slightly less painful the more you drink it.
>>20393960For the best flavour experience you should drink from a glass. If the beer has sat for long all the solids settle to the bottom as a fine residue. You want to get that residue re-dispersed in the beer to get the full flavour, so it's best to pour 95% of the beer in to a glass, then use the remaining 5% to swirl up the residue and then tip in to the glass as well. Thank me latert. Wheat beer homebrewer.
More and more craft beers start shamelessly using AIslop for their can design.

I was promised a glorious Grade A Top Shelf Nippon Whisky folded a thousand times!Instead I got something that's.. Well actually it's pretty good and it smells divine, but I might have bought into the hype a little. It's "only" good.Also the 51,4% ABV may be a bit too much for my taste. Honestly the Bunnahabhain 12yo sample I got the other day blows it out of the water.

Absolute smoothest, most well-balanced gin I've ever had. It only uses 6 botanicals. I'm a beer geek but broke down and bought a bottle after trying it at the distillery.On the beer side I finally got to try Hitachino Next Wit. My god, the mouthfeel. So minerally and full-bodied. Great citrus-y flavor. I had some rauchbier next to get into, can't wait.

Might be the wrong thread for this but what are some good recipes that use cooking wine? I've never used it before and I want to try since I've heard there are some flavors you can't get without it.
>>20407300Not sure if it's what you're lookig for, but beef cheeks in red wine are delicous and easy to make.
>>20407300>good recipes that use cooking wineNone. Use real wine instead. I guess you look for red wine recipes. So everything a la bordelaise or bourguignonne. Sauce genevoise if you want to try red wine with fish.
>>20407300have you never heard of chicken marsala?>>20407916don't listen to this anon, he's way over on the spectrum
>>20396475Wheat beer is delicious.
>>20408118drink water and eat a flavorless banana at the same time. boom. "wheat beer"
>>20396080Try irish coffee as your first.Please do not ever try to down multiple drinks at once, you will black out, might end up dead, or waking up with no recollection of what you've done during that time.you will also feel a heat building inside you as your liver and stomach struggle to metabolize this oily liquor inside you. Drink responsibly. You might throw up for the entirety of the next day, with traces of blood.
>>20408125If the banana is flavorless then why not just the water?
What should I get for a long weekend with decent weather where I´ll probably BBQ and chill on my porch all day: a decent bottle of Spanish brandy or a cheapish bottle of Scotch (eg. Ballantines, J&B)?
got drunk last night but it wasnt even that funkind of getting bored of drinkingnext ill do crack! hahahacaptcha:tgaytx

>>20396080Alcohol is a mixed bag, and can very quickly turn into a habit if you've got the personality for it. If you want to get into drinking you need to figure out what it is you want out of it. Excuse to socialize? Find a beer you enjoy drinking, which is a good chance it WON'T be some faggy hipster IPA if you're on the west coast. Just want something to feel like a fancy bitch? Try a couple of different kinds of whiskey. If you're looking to get shitfaced without having to choke down something awful, mixed drinks (aka bitch drinks) are a good choice because they usually taste really fucking good. The important thing is to take shit really slow when hard liquor is involved, because you can go from zero to unconscious in no time flat if you don't watch yourself.>>20394122I highly, HIGHLY recommend getting the Quarter Cask if you can find it. Expensive as fuck, but I cannot find a better scotch.
>>20396080It depends entirely on your personality. Generally speaking, the less of a taboo you view it as, the less you'll care about it.If you're worried about getting addicted, try to stay transparent with others about your alcohol consumption. My parents barely drink, so I was able to keep my consumption habits relatively grounded by talking to them when I started experimenting. Conversely, avoid college students and the like; lots of them are alcoholics in the making.>>20408935>The important thing is to take shit really slow when hard liquor is involved, because you can go from zero to unconscious in no time flat if you don't watch yourself.Ironically, I always found hard liquor (if it's of a decent level) to be the easiest to process, but if I drink hard liquor I only drink 1 glass. Any more than that is overkill for the exact reason you stated.

>>20405894I'll check that one out, Anon. Thanks for the rec.It doesn't look good though, because we never even got the seasonal ones here, just Maudite and LFDM.

Much better than any storebought hard tea, plus it's stronger and actually contains caffeine (not much, but enough to have some extra effect)
>>20408726You know, you could enjoy steak and mushrooms without it being an excuse to recover from poisoning yourself.
>>20409656nowadays I dont bother with them. the cask strength batches were good until 5-6. after that the price jumped and batches became very similar.
>>20408891don't worry it's a joke I have no interest in doing crack, and only would do cocaine if I was rich so not any time soon
>>20410742>I have no interest in doing crackWhy not? You already drink ethanol...
>>20410760crack lasts like 15 minutes then you need more if i drink enough itll last hours even after waking up, still drunk
>>20410768So you're perfectly fine with poisoning yourself, just not in a way that involves a regular time commitment.

hey /alc/ what low alcohol beers do you recommend? I generally only drink wheat beer, pilsners, rice beer and steam beer because it's basically eternal summer down here in Florida. I enjoy a crisp, low ABV beer to cope with the heat but I don't like to get too drunk. I just found out about Stillwater Super Dry and had no idea 3.8% was even sold in the USA so I'm curious what other low ABV beer there is
>>20411993Myself I just mix standard strength lagers with fruit juice, very low alcohol but if you want something refreshing on a hot day that's a good thing.
>>20411047>remember german purity laws are your friendgood lord when will Amerimutts stop parroting this retarded shit. German purity laws have nothing to do with creating a "superior pure" beer they were issued to regulate the proportion of grain harvest that was divided between bakeries and breweries because everyone was brewing & drinking their wheat harvests instead of baking bread with it.You cultureless fags with 1 German greatgreat grandparent think it's something akin to superior nipponese steel folded 1000 times but for booze when in reality it's some medieval rationing law to stop peasants from hoarding their grain to drink it
>>20411993I prefer radlers to lawnmower beers when it's hot out. They're usually 2-3% and much more refreshing than low ABV beers
One online shop will (probably) have a sale next week. I've narrowed it down to these two. Which one should I get?
Any relatively low calorie beers that are common? I’m looking for something below 130cal.
>>20412977Water is below 130cal.

I hate how sheetz only ever has the 8% hard lemonades/teas in stock, they taste like ass. The 8% ones are even cheaper than the 4% cans
you boys own any fancy glasses?

Really smooth and great tasting. This my new favorite tequila.

>>20413947o-ok
for me it's ayinger, the beer that's never in stock
Any recommendations on liquor that's more on the sweet side? Scotch Whisky and this "mind crusher" IPA I've tried felt more like drinking liquid tear gas before my face scrunches up.
I haven't eaten today and I got fucking loaded drunk and only went home because a fucking pipe burst and they closed the place down. I have like two pounds of taco bell.
Has anyone ever thrown a thc gummy into their drink and let it dissolve while you drink it? its basically a tequila worm but not bullshit. Works well with tequila and vodka.
>>20414995Sounds gay

>>20414300ayinger makes decent normal beer, why do you go out of your way to drink banana water?

>drank a single four loko>Got so drunk I ordered $40 of slop from doordash>Don't remember any of itIs my liver failing or some shit. I've had 2 four lokos before without blacking out, but last night that wasn't the case
>>20415615>The drink is sold at 6%, 7%, 8%, 10%,12%, 13.9% or 14% alcohol by volume (ABV), depending on state regulations, and is packaged in 23.5 oz (695 mL) cans. After ONE? Dude, I'm not a doctor or anything, but maybe you should lay off the booze for a while. See how you feel.
>>20415895>After ONEYeah a 14% one. I'm worried. What's weird is even though I blacked out, I didn't have a hangover at all, and I've always felt like shit after blacking out.
You're on a drink date with an art hoe and if you order the "wrong drink" she won't have sex with you. What do you order? I was thinking a Hennessy Sidecar.
>>20416059Lemonade. If it must be a cocktail, Roy Rogers. If the "art hoe" across from me is disgusted by this choice, then it's my rejection of her, not hers of me.
>>20398569it's just easier to enjoy something if you can distinguish it. having a specific source and grape all this stuff makes it identifiable. if you just like wine to drink it doesn't matter sure but if you care then it does. same with single malts. or beef from certain cattle.

been on about a week long bender... And it has finally caught up... so hungover it hurts so badly, one of the worst i have had. I am an idiot and never even drink enough water. Usually sipping some brews will stave off the pain but it isnt going away today...

is it normal to have chest pains lasting a day or two from hangover/withdrawals?
Anyone here know some good sake brands?
Any one have any good wine on Sémillon grape. Need to have some good referents to my new project.
>>20417235No. It's also not normal to drink to the point that hangovers are possible, and in my humble opinion, it shouldn't be normal at all.
>>20417235You need more training.
Prices at the drive thru liquor store have gone fucking insane. $36 for a 12 pack of Blue Moon. $45 for a bottle of Ketel 1 and 2L soda. Everything is at least 30% more expensive than anywhere else.The fucking Indians (dot not feather) running the place must be testing the waters to see how much they can raise prices before the alcoholics start caring. Well fuck them I'm stopping now. Safeway only from here on, I don't even give a fuck I have to walk inside.

anyone tried this

Finally cleaned up and set up the kegarator and got a 1/6 keg of a local pilsner, perfect beer for the warmer weather. I also picked up a bottle of Old Forester 1897.

>>20393835Old fashioned with wild turkeyCheap gas station beerI bought picrel for cocktails. Did I fall for a meme? It makes perfectly clear ice cubes which "don't melt as fast and taste better" because there's less impurities.
I won my local bottle lotterynot sure if I'm gonna resell or keep it yet.
>>20425369Perfectly clear ice tends not to crack as easily, so yeah usually it'll last longer.
>>20425373Keep it unopened for a few years, could be worth $1k+ if the batch it's from is sought after.
>>20393835Having a few Oettinger pils tonight, not a bad beer for the price.
Drank a Pseudo German Lager from a brewery near me, was bretty good
>>20425369>because there's less impuritiesThere's still the same amount, they are just at the bottom of the ice cube, because that's the last part to freeze. That thing is just an insulated try, you could also get the same result from an insulated cup. If you want to be autistic about it, you should shave the bottom layer of the ice cube that contains the impurities or you could just use distilled water.

>>20415160Evan Williams is a great value, have you tried their premium whiskies like the small batch? I like that a 750ml of their good stuff costs the same as a 1.75L of their regular bourbon.
