I was wise-assing my way into billi's ramblings using the last supper as the vehicle... but i got to say... dipping bread in wine is a great way to get drunk.
Thanks Jesus!

Tried a new California-made Aquavit. Wasn't bad, but too much carraway. One might say they got carried away with the carraway.
Had a bottle of Justin Vineyards Isosceles which is always a good cabernet and tried some Trocken Riesling, which was nice.
Picked up the three allotments of fancy beer from Alesmith that I hadn't made it down to San Diego for, so we've got all sorts of barrel aged goodness waiting to be cracked open, then Michele and I shared a Fremont Dark Star.
My wife had a habit of choosing bottles of beer to buy, and then never getting around to feel like drinking them.
So I recently finished up a few of them.
The most interesting was Zywiec from Poland. Now if you read about beer, the consensus it is safe to drink after it has gone bad.
So I opened the bottle and poured it into a glass. It was somewhat lifeless, and surprisingly more of a copper-colour than a lager gold. In taste it was somewhat like some British bitters too.
I later bought a brand-new can and a bottle, and they were both the golden European lager you would expect.
Someone else from my Zoom pub, dating back to pandemic days, who is British like I am, mused about what this all says about British beers.
