What Did You Drink Last Night?

[jamespowers]

Why spend unnecessary money, when you can get a fine beer for 10 bucks.

$10? I pay that for one 750ml bottle.

I hope my brands don't go hipster too.

Reserve Grand Veneur 2010.
I have 2 others from the Cotes Du Rhone area that have good reviews, so I'll see sometime this week.
Although I've been drinking some Irish Liquor that has 2 chambers in an odd shaped bottle, and then the wine.
Makes for a short evening.

Not my fault the hipsters are just wanna-be's!

I hope my brands don't go hipster too.

It isn't quite as bad as it used to be. I remember the original like that but recently I tasted it and it was more subdued. You knew it was the Frog but wasn't like licking one. Malt Advocate said that they have dialed it back over the last few years because it was over the top. It is now drinkable to me when it wasn't about five years ago. I will say that it does still smell the same. It nearly knocked out Rue at the QM.

I think it is more a case of your taste changing. I have bottles of single malt that I brought back from Scotland about 25 years ago. Some of the ones that I thought were really harsh then I find quite mellow today. The more whisky you drink, the more your taste for it grows.

Pink Gin--Gordons and Peychaud Bitters. Just right for the moment.

I doubt that is the case as I tend to like harsh as opposed to wierd briny, peaty, iodine tasting stuff.

Hi

I drank two pints of Bud Light. My excuse is that they were $1.29 and it was with Pizza.

That is actually why I said that as you get accustomed to the taste it seems less strong. I am sure you like it more every time you drink it as well.

Hi

I didn't get iodine with the Laphroig, but I DID get a little peaty...

Yeah, they have dialed it back. It used to be much more seaweedy too.

Nah, the distillery itself has changed the recipe. It was much worse before. I have spoken to several people who have noticed the difference as well. It ain't what it used to be and that is better for me. It still smells to high heaven though. lol lol

Then I guess I will need to be real slow in drinking that old bottle I have on the shelf.

Probably because of the taste.

 

[jamespowers]

Is that a hipster in that picture?

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Pretty sure that's a fella who'd feel right at home at the FL.

Ok, just checking.

I like the seaweedy peat smoke taste. Reminds me of sitting in an old cot house on the coast with a peat fire in the fireplace.

Hi

I went to a bar called Tapwerks, where they have a LOT of beers on tap and many more bottled. I started at the left end and am working my way to the right. The left tap is Tripel Karmeliet, which I hope to never drink again. It's too sweet, I like sweet tea, Coke, Pepsi, but somehow Sugary beer just didn't work for me.

The Spaten Oktoberfest and Premium Lager were good though.

Reminds me of Methiolate.
