I miss the old Posting While Plastered thread, but it seemed to me to celebrate excessive drinking, and excluded the use of other mood enhancers.
So I raise my Southern Tier 3XIPA to you all. It is a fine brew.
Here is to the end of the summer vacation.
Cheers! I just made a large and welcome gin and tonic. Happy weekend!
I have three taps of beer I make myself. This has been a weekend of happiness.
Now playing: a nice "it's a school night" session IPA.
Tonight is a crown and ginger night. Cheers y'all.
I'm back into a mulled wine kick. Yes, I know it's hotter than Hades outside. It's just that if you add a bit extra sugar (or molasses) and let the wine steep well (in a double boiler), you can strain it back into the bottle, re-cork and chill overnight. Maybe I've finally lost it, but a mug of cold mulled wine is just the antidote that all this air-conditioning calls for.

Sounds a bit like a sangria.

Maybe I should begin exploring sangrias. Maybe, because I rather like the reduction in alcohol from the heating and the control I have over the quantity of sugar.
Tonight I'm sipping on an old bottle of Talisker single malt. The bottle says "aged ten years," but it's been in a relative's closet for over 30 more. So... does that make it better or not? I can't tell.

I recommend buying a new bottle and doing a taste-test. If you'd like a second opinion, I'll sure I'm not the only forumite who'd be happy to volunteer.

I've been told that aging is done only in the barrel but I am not sure if that is always the case. Whisky can be a good investment but it is sort of an underground economy because of current liquor laws.
