That has never changed for me either, I drink a couple diet cokes, a vitamin water, a couple bottle of water, maybe a small juice, and then tons of alcohol everyday. Midwest upbringing X Asia does not work well.

I miss the effervescence of American Coke. Something about Korean Coke just tastes flat and tepid. Though nothing beats Mexican Coke

I miss real beer too. Cass, Hite, and Max are just so boring. They're great on a hot day as a refreshing beverage, but they're terrible as beer. I tried the bottle of Duvel they had at E-Mart, but it tastes different than the ones they have in the US. I feel like Koreans only know how to taste Korean food properly... maybe Japanese food too? (probably not, though). There's just something off about everything else :\\

Water.

Just poured a post-work Delirium Nocturnum. Had a late meeting across town and have a few chapters of statistics ahead of me, so a quick break is in order.

Ballast Point Sculpin Ale.

Just had a great single malt tasting, of Linkwood, Glenrothes and Glen Scotia. The Glen Scotia in particular was a real eye-opener

Martini bianco, Stolichnaya, tonic, mineral water, lemon and ice...and all in one glass mixed by me -the alchemist!

I envy you! Till the summer is over I plan to buy some Rosebank because I believe that it befits this season and also to transport myself into some sort of nostalgia for all things long lost.

No...it was a smaller microbrewery but I didn't catch the name. I will check the next time I am at that bar.

At the moment...Red Stripe. However I had some very good locally brewed "Big-Daddy" beer. I had a 8.6 Percent porter and a honey cream ale. The Porter was very chocolatey. The honey cream ale was very light and sweet.

Both Roanoke, VA local brews. Excellent.

Small timer, pick up some Linlithgow, then we'll talk.

I just picked up a G&M CASK Rosebank 1990/2006, have not opened it yet though.

Drinking Thomas H. Hardy rye now. Very good and getting better year-by-year, can't wait the next release.

As Ron White said, "It is what someone who drinks who will die pennieless, but it's good!" Johnnie Walker Black Label, on the rocks, with a splash of water.

 

[Italian Cut]

Vodka Martini.


Shaken,

not stirred.

Wychcraft Blonde beer from Prime Minister Cameron's local brewery, Wychwood. Quite hoppy on the nose but very subtle and dry apart from that - never tasted anything quite like it. It's definitely not the usual fruity, summer ale style I was expecting

An 08 Australian Cab/Merlot. Rather nice actually, and recovering from a night of prosecco and then laphroaig.
