It's currently fashionable to create hop-bombs using those. Hopefully the fad will go away in a few years.
My learnings from the last week
Daiso have some not bad glasses for gin and tonic. Glass quality is a bit shit and they are a bit industrial but at $1:20 they’re pretty much perfect when you’re in a serviced apartment for 6 weeks
Gin and tonic in the afternoon on a hot and humid day after work is proof god exists
Gen Yamamoto in Tokyo is something every enthusiastic drinker should try at least once

My new favourite cocktail bar in Tokyo is Cocktail Gastronomy in Nishi Azabu, doing some amazing things for very reasonable prices
Glenmorangie Sherry Cask, a sample anyways. I am not a Scotch drinker in the least(not a fan of the "bite"). I was buying some Tullemore Dew and Yuengling and noticed they had bottles on the counter for samples. First thing I told the man was "I am not a Scotch drinker" and he recommended the Sherry Cask. About as smooth as smooth can be. Then again my exposure to Scotch has only been Chivas Regal and Cutty Sark.
I picked up Travelers Aloha beer for the first time and was disappointed. I enjoy the Grapefruit and Jacko, so I thought the pineapple would be right up my alley. It lacks any real flavor of pineapple and is too light.
Couple of Munich beers, a lager and a dunkel. Pretty good. It seems Germans know how to brew a good beer.
Blue Moon Mango for the win. 20180707_205508.jpg
Got Kahlua but ran out of vodka, so my 2nd drink used gin. Damn if my “black London” isn’t better than a Black Russian.
Oh and yes it’s 3pm on a Friday, I should go easy as my work week (Sat and Sun) are coming up fast.
I was in Gatlinburg, Tennessee last week. I felt that I could not go to TN without trying some whiskey. There was a local distillery, Old Smokey, near where I was staying. They make all kinds of flavoured whiskeys and I decided to try the Salty Caramel variety. It's sweet and smooth. I do not normally enjoy whiskey, so I was pleasantly surprised.
Gatlinburg is fun. An uncle of mine lives over the mountain in Maryville so we pass through there from time to time.
