Lion's Head, eh? Are you in Pennsylvania?

― Shadowcat (A-Ron Hubbard), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 04:11 (nineteen years ago)

Jeez, you guys are a classy lot.

A few PBRs for me. Damn.

― Zachary Scott (Zachary S), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 04:21 (nineteen years ago)

yes, near philly. (like 10 minute drive to center city). lion's head is the new yuengling round here.

― the table is the table (trees), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 04:30 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, so I've heard. It's like (pre-hipster-inflation) PBR cheap too.

― Shadowcat (A-Ron Hubbard), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 04:32 (nineteen years ago)

There was a point tonight where I was drinking Chardonnay out of an actual wine glass next to my wife on the couch, reading the New Yorker, with the Marian McPartland trio pleasantly bubbling in the background, and it was like "Guess it's time to kill myself."

― Shadowcat (A-Ron Hubbard), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 04:33 (nineteen years ago)

Wait, PBR is more expensive then before? It's been about the same price since I started drinking it.

― Zachary Scott (Zachary S), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 04:33 (nineteen years ago)

Depends where. Some places it's still super cheap but others I've seen it priced higher than the rest of its class due to the apparent desire to be seen with one. That may not even be going on anymore though - don't know. I almost never drink PBR unless it's $1 PBR night across the street.

Honestly, I have half a 750 of Orange Jubilee Mad Dog, half a 750 of Peaches & Cream Mad Dog, and an unopened 750 of Wild Irish Rose (that I'm too afraid to try) in my fridge. And 2 cans of Piels.

― RIYL Christiane F. (drowned in milk), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 04:41 (nineteen years ago)

lions head at a distributor is still between 11.50 and 13.50 for 24 of bottles. which is totally fucking absurd.

― the table is the table (trees), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 04:50 (nineteen years ago)

My Philly friends never shut up about the beer messiah that is Lion's Head. But it's honestly quite good for the price.

I made a FRENCH 75 for the first time last night:
juice of one lemon
2 tsp powdered sugar
2 oz. bombay sapphire gin
ice
cheap champagne

RESULTS:
You gotta like gin for this one. My sugar had not completely dissolved, i'd found after finishing it. It was tart, but I like tart, but I'd use a smaller lemon or slightly more sugar. Gonna be a good summer drink.

The only sazerac I've had was terrible, but I don't know if that's the way they all taste or what.

― jaymc, Thursday, 22 December 2011 15:26 (fourteen years ago)

I'm not a coctail drinker usually, so I don't have much to compare it to. "Interesting" is about all I could muster. Was in New Orleans recently and read all about the origins and was intrigued. Next time I'm down there I'm gonna try one at the recommended bar and see what the difference is.

― andrew m., Thursday, 22 December 2011 15:35 (fourteen years ago)

a well-made sazerac should be delicious for just about anyone who likes whiskey. it's kind of a fussy drink though--easy to get the flavor thrown off.

― cad, Thursday, 22 December 2011 15:54 (fourteen years ago)

Yeah the one I had tasted sort of like cherry cough syrup, IIRC?

"For 3 generations the Casella family has been making wine at their winery in the small town of Yenda, situated in South Eastern Australia. It is here that yellow tail is created with a simple purpose in mind; to make great wine that everyone can enjoy. yellow tail is everything a great wine should be. It's approachable, fresh, flavorsome, and has a personality all of its own."

i have approached the yellow tail

Been genuinely surprised by the number of friends and acquaintances who've opted for a dry Christmas actually.

Meanwhile, have been enjoying champagne, a rather nice New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc from the local offie, Baileys and Stones Ginger Wine.

A couple of nights ago had a few pints of Youngs seasonal ale, Angels, appropriately enough in a pub called the Angel and Greyhound.

yeah i am always wary of anything containing syrup but a mission of mine has been to try making stronger syrups i can use less of. this might be a good place to start.
