HA! I like this kid.

You'd hate me if you saw how I was on the forum I just left. A lot of people knew me (and only a few liked me), but I knew I was a huge ass, so I want to not be one here.

Just found my new favorite cider! :danger:

I've been looking for a good cider! I've only tried two so far: Angry Orchard and Redd's. Redd's is terrible. Still want to try Cidre. And, while looking on my local huge liquor store's website, saw an Irish cider that I have to try. Can't remember the name of it right now.....I think it was called Kelly's Irish Cider.

That is the best thing I have ever seen.

I've been trying a lot of cider recently too!! I've been trying to find the perfect balance between the sweeter ciders like Woodchuck and Angry Orchard and the dryer ciders like Crispin. This is really good middle ground!

I haven't tried Redd's but I'll steer clear - Let me know if you find one you'd recommend!



That's the other thing - I really love their branding!

Picked this up this weekend on our trip to Vermont - Boyden Valley Winery's Riverbend Red. It's like a Pinot Noir but this is slightly peppery than usual.



Currently drinking as I'm back from a lovely long weekend and sour that I need to work tomorrow. waaaaaaa ::mad::


They also make a maple and an apple maple creme liquor. both were quite lovely.



I also managed to pick up a case of this:




Apparently it's a big deal; only delivers a handful of cases to certain shops on certain days of the week. Haven't broken into it, yet. I'll continue with my wine for now.

I'm drinking apple juice ::stick out tongue::

Had a few of these lovely buggers last night. Despite the name "Boston Tea Party" stirring up some bitter memories for the Brit in me, I did thoroughly enjoy it.

Maple Ice wine from a winery in Vermont. Cheers!

So is that made from grapes or sap?

Apples and maple sugar actually. Usually I find dessert wines too sweet, but this one is just lovely. Here's the description from the site:


The classic taste of Vermont captured in wine

For over half a century the Boyden family has honored Vermont’s spring tradition of maple sugaring. Now we are pioneering a new tradition: crafting that maple sugar into an amazing dessert wine, Gold Leaf. Barrel-aged for two years in Tonnelier French Oak barrels, Gold Leaf possesses great depth and complexity combining supreme estate maple syrup and locally grown apples. As an aperitif or after-dinner wine, it has an exquisite mouth feel and delicate yet pronounced maple flavor with overtones of vanilla, toasted nuts and coconut. Gold leaf is at its best served over ice, paired with apple crisp, Cinnamon cheesecake, vanilla crème brulee.

::cool::

And I guess that's the Karen Carpenter bottle design too.

That stuff sho sounds good! I like sippin' on some absinthe myself... when I can get my hands on it....

Been wanting to try that for years. What do you think? How's it taste to you? And you feel anything unique?

I like Absinthe a lot! Tastes like Anise or Black Licorice kinda...I mix it alotta Absinthe, a little water a little ice no sugar.....after a few rounds or so I mix more water less Absinthe...My experience is that is does have psychotropic effects::cool::and it also has a high alcohol%::smile::Good Stuff!

..

For the holidays: spiced rum and egg nog::wink::

Love Egg Nog. Good time to buy it cheap now.

Cheers!

Wine & Dine!

..

mmm cherry!

that sounds lush

Awright! My wife bought that last round Now it's my turn and this is my favorite if I'm drinkin' beer that is....It's an IPA and it's 8.5% so good and hella strong this stuff'll get ya up in the party quick!
Rampant IPA New Belgium

I remember the time when I was only four, my mom and dad were having a party and they ran out of beer so they went to get some more. they left a bottle on the table and I saw it. I thought that it was soda so I took a big gulp, and it took me half an hour to wash the bad taste out of my mouth.

BLEAH!

That's because it's for adults.




Bell's Two Hearted for me tonight.

I think I also swallowed cigarette to. I use to do a lot of stupid thinks when I was little and I still do.

AWWWWW YEAH!!! my wife and her friend just came back from town and they brought me a sixer of Rampant IPA and then they left ::smile::::cool::

And to where did they leave?

Bootleggin'

They are going to have such a hangover.::big grin::::roll eyes::::shocked::

Speakin' like a non drinker there my friend....the trick is gettin buzzed as much and as long as possible with no hangover! I aint had one in years!

That's what makes it fun. Listening to you grown ups talk about beer is ridiculously funny for some reason.

Grownups? More like alcoholics::big grin::Seriously tho don't touch the stuff it's poison....

Another reason why I stay away from it.

I remember when I had a taste of hard cider, again BLEAH.
