There's a beer/wine shop that's opened up a year or two ago that's run by a very nice guy who's really into beer. We went in today and he pointed us at this imperial porter from Jordan. It's quite good, and something I don't think I'd ever have the chance to try if it weren't for this shop.
I bought a couple of cans of Brio (Chinotto) Vodka Cooler. Not sure when I'll get around to drinking them. Chinotto is the only sugar-water I can't quite totally give up. If I can get it I prefer non-Canadian Brio to Canadian. And actually San Pelligrino Chinotto tops them both.
The Brio Vodka Cooler is distinctly lacking in distinctive Brio (Chinotto) flavour.
I just made myself a pretty decent bloodymary to keep me company while i do the statistics.
acket.
The Glenlivet is heavily marketing their "Founders Reserve". An unspecified maturity. What does it mean? Stuff we found in various cellars which we'd forgotten to properly recask? Web searches pan it as extremely inconsistent.
But I couldn't resist buying a beer-bottle sized bottle. Mine was surprisingly smooth and uncomplex for Scotch.
I also had a Wychwood Bah Humbug! Christmas Cheer! Ale. Appeared a little early. I think the stock may have been left over from last year.
It was flavourful, but subtle. A little like Christmas pudding, but not too much so.
Alright, I admit it. Lori and I have been drinking Bud lately, mainly because it is economical. We think it is the most reasonable beer for the buck. Roast me.
Does Lucky Lager not exist anymore or something?
EDIT: Well, sonovabitch, it's been gone for years, but apparently is being resurrected.

Bud Nitro on tap isn't actually too bad
