Food & Drink What are you currently drinking?

Although not strictly currently drinking, I was away all of last week and drank a horrendous amount of different, quality beers. It was pure torture, I tell you.

Here are a few from a German bar I visited.

Om... (Maisel's Weisse Dunkel, 5.2%.)


...nom... (Krombacher Pils, 4.8% and schnapps glass photobomb.)


...nom. (Veltins Grevensteiner unfiltered wheat beer, 5.2%.)

 

Inspired by the above, I've just knocked the top off one of the beers I brought back from my travels.

 

Carling

 

Today I will be mostly drinking mango juice.

 

Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon.

 

This morning: feral trade dark roast coffee.

At work: organic Japanese Sencha tea.

Late afternoon: China Yunnan tea.

Before bed: chamomile blossom tea. Not the crap they sell in bags, but the actual dried blossom itself.

 

Have you thought about planting this for the bees? I have had great response to my flowering rosemary bushes, and can only wonder about the honey. Chamomile was my wife's next suggestion.

 

Never tried that one, what's it like ?

 

Oh gods, that one looks nice. Good and chewey

 

It was very pleasent. Not too hop forward but a tasty enough, light pale ale.

Oh yes, it certainly was. Lovely flavour too and drinking it from a proper 1 litre stein glass was great. A few more and I'd have broken into a spontaneous schuhplattler.

 

Sarsaparilla... I don't don't particularly like sarsaparilla...

... I didn't realise [remember] I don't like it until I'd neck-ended most of the bottle

My reaction was something like this -

 

Last night I was lucky enough to tick a couple of beers off my bucket list: Thornbridge's delicious Jaipur X (10% ABV) and Brewdog's infamous Tactical Nuclear Penguin 32% ABV imperial stout, which was "interesting".

 

Rio tropical. Does that count?

 

If you are pouring it into yourself through your mouth, it counts.

I've just had a pint of ice-cold cow juice (or "milk" as some people like to call it).

 

I won a bottle of Bell's Scotch Whiskey in a raffle - I have no idea with scotch. What's a great way to drink it?

 

In one sitting

 

Bells? With Canadian Dry and a chunk of ice.

Oh, and drop the "e" from whiskey - whisky only.

 

In this case, yes, as its Scotch.
If its from the US or Ireland, 'whiskey' is correct
