Thread bump for some 4th Tap Renewal Tamarind Wheat Ale.  Not bad.  4th Tap is a hippy co-op microbrewery up in Austin, so availability might be limited to...like....two or maybe three of us here.  I doubt they've got much reach.

Have a 6er of Stone Citrusy Wit in the fridge for after this one is done.

A little thank you from the boss (everyone else got wine, but he's got me pegged as a beer drinker):

Picked up a 15 year old scotch as it was on sale. So smooth! :cool:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Syt, I see some US craft brews in your gift there. Are some of those being brewed in Europe or were they all shipped over? If shipped, did they survive the trip well?

A couple times in the past I had a skunky Kona and figured it was because they had to fly it to the mainland.
I know Stone was planning to branch into the EU but I never heard about Rogue doing it.

I had a Dead Guy Ale just last night.

Good question, MiM. They were brewed in the US. They tasted fine, but I have no comparison what they would taste like at their point of origin.

The limes I have will be bad upon my return so I had no choice but to make a strong caipirinha. :cool:

CB and I had lunch at a Lebanese restaurant today where they served lemonade flavored with rosewater.  It was really good, just a hint of floral taste to lemonade.  It was a surprise to find it; I've never seen that before even with all the years that I lived in Detroit.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Loose leaf tea out of my new mug that has a built in strainer and lid for steeping. I feel so decadent! :blush:

I have one of those for work too. Much more convenient.  and it allows me to easily drink tea supplied by a certain lovely wife of a certain Danish dude involved in the gaming industry.

I am using it right now    :)

Had my first Black Velvet (Guinness and champagne). My brain trying to get around the concept (something like beer and something with bubbles) kept signalling to me that it was cider. :D

Using mine again right now with some tea from the Australian company T2. Scots Breakfast: https://www.t2tea.com/en/uk/tea/scots-breakfast-loose-leaf-tea-T125AE196.html

I feel like I'm drinking a desert. :blush: :D

Alcohol. It's Monday night so I'm getting my drink on.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Now I only have one bottle of Bombay Sapphire left. :(

My old drunk thread was great. RIP Old Languish.
