Bought a six pack of Anchor Steam earlier today, having one now. Oddly, I'd managed never to try them before despite having eyed them while buying beer on a fairly regular basis.

It's really quite excellent. Malty, clean, with bitter hops creeping in on the finish. You get a really nice velvety foam form in your mouth when you take a sip, like a good porter or stout.

I will be buying this again.

4 oz Citadelle Gin
1 oz Noilly Pratt dry
3 dashes Fee Brothers West Indies Orange Bitters
2 Tbsp olive brine
3 gigantic Sicilian olives

Surprising amount of flavour for a light beer.. a summer time favourite.

Did not know they had one. I will be on the look out.

I need to find myself some coupe glasses. Anyone have a good rec?

 

[b1os]

+1. I'm on the lookout but haven't seen nice ones so far.

BTW, I just got myself some Schott Zwiesel Martini glasses that have a narrow angle than my old Schott Zwiesel (Schumann Bar selection) ones. Now I can finally move the glasses around without spilling every single time, lol.

I've recently bought a set of Schott Zwiesel Forte Bordeaux and Burgundy glasses. I really like them and think I will get a white wine glass and it seems they have some sort of Forte rocks glass too so I'll get that. When my bonus comes in I'm going to stock up so I have 12 of each stem.

I just got some Schott Zwiesel diva bordeaux glasses for very cheap. I like them so far. Also bought six Spiegelau vinovino white wine glasses. We bought some IKEA white wine glasses for a friend. I've never had glasses in my hand that have an inferior "voice".

On topic: Old Fashioned
2oz Woodford Reserve
1 sugar cube, coated in 2-3 dashes of Angostura and 1-2 dashes of TBT orange bitters
1 ice cube, coated in orange flower water

 

[Piobaire]

Manhattan:

2 oz Wiser's Deluxe 8 year old
1 oz Noilly Prat sweet
7 drops Bittercube Bolivar bitters

Next one only five drops. Potent stuff!

For my cask, thinking of setting down:

750 ml Wiser's Deluxe
375 ml Noilly Prat sweet
12 eye droppers Velvet Tango Room bitters
1/4 cup filtered water

Can't decide if I want to put a cherry element in, i.e. a little Luxardo
