What are you drinking?

[NikF]

Brilliant advice indeed    Hope the bottle was properly chilled before consumption.

Absolutely positively. Fact.

Myself, I'm drinking a white also: a 2015 Riesling from Kloster Eberbach.

And I hope you enjoy it.

Lemon & Hibiscus saison beer.
Brew by Numbers brewery.

The question is: should beer be pink? 

[lisa needs braces]

I can only afford Old Crow.

Who needs the single malt?

Mostly bourbon these days if I have anything. I can get it a good price in the duty free a couple times a month. But some Irish whisky has found its way into my cabinet recently too.

Hardywood Bourbon Barrel Aged Quadrupel on tap at home right now.

Jura 'Diurach's Own' 16 Year Old Scotch Whisky.

[asin]B001HUA3I6[/asin]

I've now had three whiskies from this distiller. This one is certainly more complex than the younger 'Origin', although perhaps it's still a little too staid from start to finish Still, there are worse tastes to experience than an Island single malt that's of pleasant and polite character throughout.

Yes the Origin is rather nondescript. The Jura is nice, I thought, for the price. Bought myself a second one, at any rate!

Yes. And that's a valid point, that the price for what is offers is perfectly reasonable.
I hope you enjoy the second bottle as much as the first.

Les Jamelles Viognier 2015



I'm continuing to take the proffered advice and drinking these bottles of wine. The photo (not taken by me) shows 2014 but the bottles I have are 2015. In this instance I don't believe that matters.

Just now, a Pizza Boy Hampden IPA, but I have also enjoyed Troegs' Nimble Giant DIPA and a Weyerbacher Blithering Idiot Barleywine #drinklocal

Post referundum boom in scotch whiskey sales which top 4 billion pounds for the first time

A cup of decaf coffee.

There was an empty Bud Ice TallBoy in a brown paper bag sitting on the kitchen counter when I got home last night??!!!?



BUD ICE?

A cup of decaf coffee.

I'm a coffee lover and have always found decaf to be quite...err...foul. I drink Lavazza usually. Decaf must have come on a lot, I tried their decaf and I couldn't tell it from the original. I'm a convert! (Still start the day with a caf coff though!)

Which blend? I tried a bag of Lavazza once, and ended up throwing it out.  It quite literally tasted like mud. 
My normal supply rotates among Dunkin Donuts, Community, and Gevalia, whichever is on sale at the supermarket.  But taste preference points to Kona or Blue Mountain blends.  To get a good one, requires spending actual money, however, so it's not part of my normal mix.  I do try to treat myself to a new bag every two or three months however.

Those days I don't start off with coffee I usually make a cup of English Breakfast tea: I found myself liking it much more than I did before.

Roumanian red wine. Gin tonic, lots of water. Tons of various beer. Have been doing the Prague - Vienna - Bratislava - Budapest - Novi Sad - Vukovar - Belgrade - Visin route. Currently the old town in Bucharest. Tomorrow Brasov. Hot.

Which blend?

This, using a Bialetti Moka Express.

I don't remember seeing that one around me.  Perhaps it's not sold here. Definitely not the muddy one I threw out...

I did in fact run by Fresh Market and found they had Kona and Blue Mountain blends at the price I normally pay for other stuff in Publix. Of course blend means 90 percent is not Kona and Blue Mountain...

The brand I got can be seen blurrily in the very first picture, over the barrels.

Probably not sold in the US then? It's widely available in the UK, obviously Italian. It's arabica and robusta. The best commonly available one here is probably Illy, 100% arabica. Do you get that in the US? Oh yes, I see it in your photos!!!

Although I've got a Gaggia grinder, I'm afraid I've got lazy and it's languishing in the pantry. Perhaps I should treat myself and buy a tin of Illy beans. ☕️
