Another Boulevardier variant going in a “new” Balcones bourbon barrel. We’re calling this one Le Flaneur. Topped off with about 3/4 of a Russell’s 10yo…

How’s Bruto?

I love it, but nothing replicates Campari, so decided to get a couple bottles in there.

I need to make some friends who like a Boulevardier as much as I do... Please tell me about Punt e Mes in a Boulevardier - I'm using Carpano Antica and the bottle is nearly empty.

I’m a huge fan of Cappelletti, but I do prefer a ‘sweeter’ aperitif.

I love Punt e Mes in a Boulevardier. It's an extra dimension to the bitterness and makes it a little less "bright" than some other vermouths.


Great in a Negroni too, especially in the winter.

Kona Brewing Hanalei IPA with poke at the playground before we head to the airport.

@losrockets I like Antica in a Boulevardier too, but not when I’m finishing it in a barrel. It brings out too much of the vanilla component for my taste. I try to put in sharper/spicier flavors, then let the oak do its work.

I ordered a Pinter 3 as the deal was too good to pass up, and FYI, the deal is still in place. For $49 you get a Pinter 3 and two ingredient packs delivered. The Pinter holds 10 pints, 160 ounces, or about 1.3k gallons, so you get your first 2.6 gallons of beer included in that $49. All reviews say it produces a very good product. I selected the Hazy Jane and the Brew Roadie for my first two recipes. I'm on a subscription plan to get to packed monthly for $70 delivered. I'll pause for a month after every order as I don't drink that much beer anymore.

Head to pinter.com to catch this crazy deal.

This would also make a crazy SS gift (no, I'm not in.)

Tried this a couple days ago and it was very very good

Okay, just put down my first batch of beer with the Pinter. Here's the recipe for my first batch: https://pinter.com/collections/fresh-beer/products/brewdog-hazy-jane-remixed

It took tops 20 minutes start to finish and now it will ferment for nine days. I should be having my first pint on 12/21. It's pretty slick as it self racks itself (separates the brew from the drub) and self carbonates of course, but also uses that CO2 to pressurized the dispensing keg.

Look forward to this every year. A bit hoppier than I remember in years past…

Had about a dozen mai tais yesterday. Mele kalikimaka.
