Hipsters in Iowa City seem to be migrating to hard cider.

They'll come and then go, but zider can't be tainted by them.  :bowler:

My brother is trying to get himself in shape for when he starts his spring/summer hiking trips, so to avoid temptation he gave me about 70% of his beer stockpile.  Which is pretty significant.  I'm going to cellar everything over 8.0%ABV, but even setting that aside I'm probably not going to need to go beer shopping for quite a while.

Also, Hopslam on draft was pretty awesome.  May be about perfection as far as a Double IPA goes.  Dangerous at 10%ABV.

Had about 2 liters of Spaten Lager at the German club tonight.  Prost!

The bar I work at is having a Bells/Founders event soon.  We already have the keg of Hopslam in our cooler.  I'm not a huge IPA guy, but both breweries are pretty solid with their products.

Princesca had a Negroni at dinner and I tried it.  Now THAT is a good use of Campari!  :beer:

Brewdog's Dead Pony Pale Ale. Strong flavor of lime.

Try swapping some seltzer for the gin to make an Americano -- just as delicious, in my book, and makes for a much less boozy aperitif.

It's my favorite. :elvis: :frog:

Make sure to have a bottle of decent vermouth (Martini & Rossi or Cinzano are fine and like ~$8 a bottle) that is actually fresh.  Vermouth goes bad slowly but surely, and should be kept in the fridge for a limited time after opening it.  It makes a huge difference.  I know Martini & Rossi is sold in small 375ml bottles in a lot of places.

Got a sneak preview & tour this afternoon of a three level brewery/bar/restaurant set to open in 13 days.  They still have quite a bit of finishing work to do, but the place is gonna be phenomenal.  They plan to have 8 of their own beers on tap and a mix of 12 local and regional guest beers.

Of the beers I sampled, the most interesting (and surprisingly so) is a Key Lime Wheat.

From Goliad Brewing, just opened in 2014.  Add it to your list if you're ever in this area, Spiess.  It's not bad.
