Whatcha drinking (2024)?

[TastyReuben]

Why are they your favourites?

Because they’re big enough to hold the whole batch!

Brewing a mixed tea, to refrigerate and drink as iced tea tomorrow.

Peach simple syrup, old fashioned

The homemade iced tea.

Vitamin water. In a cafe downtown. Using the bathroom as I have been out and about for almost 4 hours, and collecting myself to go home, after an unsuccessful advice seeking for my Dad.

I've just poured this one:

Right down the sink. It's (or was) a bockbier, so I thought, well, slightly sweet, fairly mild, except...
It seems they smoked it at some stage, so I looked up "Urbock" on the web. "Ur" means original, in German, and "bock" means billy goat. It was definitely more goat than original, with a pronounced smoky flavour (something like mesquite) and a sickly sweet finish. I bought it because of the label, believe it or not.
So having completely screwed up on the first purchase, I tried the second:

Well this is a Belgian beer brewed by monks in the UK, in north west Leicestershire.
OK - it was a classic dark Belgian beer but the flavour was sort of lacking. I couldn't determine whether it was a Delirium Tremens type, or a stout type and, to be honest, I wouldn't buy it again. It confirms my opinion regarding what fun monks have.
Nun.

Ketel One and lemonade.

Ahhhh…remember how I said Bamberg is famous for smoked onions? They must have brewed that beer in the same kitchen.

The rauch in rauchbier is a bit of a give-away, as it means "smoke"

Aha! Now I wish I'd paid a little more attention to my German classes!

Yesterday:

That’s a Bohemian Special Lager on the left and a blood orange blonde ale on the right.

 

[Timenspace]

Homemade iced decaf soy milk latte, with 2 scoops of vegan nougat icecream. Cookies, store bought.

Plenty of water. And electrolytes dissolved in water.

Finally got round to the Westmalle trappist ale.
Unbelievable. Delicious. Smooth, but strong.
