Ticker's good, BP up but under control (the meds make my feet swell). Digestion's recovering too.


"She Who Must Be Obeyed" will inevitably have her way but not today or this week.

Lucky her.

That stuff rocks, great labels too.

Agreed.

I have given Barenjäger second chance. I was an optimist, unfortunately.

No more of that xit, it is too sweet, too alcohol-free, too one dimensional.

Try regular jager and barenjager layered 50/50%...

Will give it a try, Jager in comparison with Baren tastes betterer. Thanks, Dinky.

Some crap tastes betterer
than xit.

Grate.

Taste the xitnergy.

Um, no.

Feel it...

Embrace it...

Butt there is not such a drink in the world that cannot be improved. Everything more or less succesfully can be fixed, spiked, etc, etc.

Try suckin' it
throo a straw.

Straws are for xit
which sux.

Or is that, for
sux which xit?

'Copter on fire? Shot of Chartreuse verte, top off with Bacardi 151 or any other overproof, ignite, drink thru straw. Ya have invented it, Buggy?

Good stuff can be enjoyed thru straw as well. Take paper cup (25cl), fill with well-chilled vodka and drink thru straw. Fun guaranteed!

I'll bet you're a classy date,
Tits. Probably even offer your
wankin' hand a clean

Stop bettin' (ya ain't the Desert Dwarf Hobbitroll???), start tippin'.

I thought the sexual inyerendo
proved I have my goggles on.

I haven't had more than two drinks a night in weeks, many nights with nothing.
No I'm sick,
I'm feeling quite good lately.

Loogie's bringing me some euro absinthe this weekend,
I'm looking forward to it.

I have to work at the brewery tonight,
we have to make 6 batches of Pumpkin Ale
and filter 8 different beers.
I think there are also 6-8 beers to bottle too.

Should be a long night.

He is?

Saturday is the 20th right?

Alesmith Speedway Stout.

Excellent xit, butt Bell's Expedition is mo' betterer.

Not for casual chugging.

Sipping on the LeP'tit blanche. Nice and almost flowery. Definitely one of the better COs.

My pastis, I am liking the xit more and more, it has almost the silky profile and is so light.

Tomorrow Finlandia Cranberry Fusion-some friends pay as a visit due to my Mum's nameday, and our nextdoor neighbours just love that vodka, so we won't let them down, in fact, well-chilled, it is quite drinkable.

I will have Rougette now, have not had absinthe for a long time.

We're drinkin'
coonts.

That was Geyboy....
he's way more shittierer
than me right now.

slivovitz and hellbitch.
cant find the shift.

Both shall be grate. Which slivovitz, Buggy?

a good one
butt far from grate.

Good one means everything, post a pic or a label. If you want grate, I will send ya Łącka.

Navip Slivovitz rox.

Boggy's buyin'
Buggy booze?

oh boy...

Another Lounge
love child on the
way.

And it's gonna
be a xitty birth.

Meantime IPA and Porter.

Tried the Meantime Porter yesterday.

Pretty fookin good.

Meanwhile, water.

Yeah, me and Geyboy were drinkin'
coonts that day. We didn't get
around to posting a review so if you
would like to get a review of Boggy's
absinthe go to his myspace page
and read the blog.

I wish I could remember enough to post a thorough review,
but from my scant memory:

Nice color, floral but grassy aroma, this grassines carried over into the flavor, somewhat covering a nice, subtle absinthe. The base tasted very clean and smooth and the distillation herbs were well balanced, but obsured by what seemed like a heavy coloring touch.

It was not a sinkable absinthe, but was finished to the last drop.

The Poles love putting grass in their hooch.

Thanks, Snitty. I have cut on the colouring in 2007 batch, but the fact that it was finished is grate to hear. What I would like to hear as well is: could you compare it with any of CO's you know or has it its own style?

Ahhh. Żubrówka! Will be makin' it soon.

Commie grass fed
buffalo hootch?

Sumthin' like that.

I have grass at home, it is highly aromatic, so is betterer to be used sparingly. CO's use 0.8g per litre and leave at 40% and sugar, I have tried twice, I take 0.5g per litre (as I said it is highly aromatic so no need to overdose it), leave at 57% (it was the original Żubrówka strength in the 70's) and do not add sugar.

Drinking coffee right now but very excited about tonight.
I'll be trying as many funky beers on this list as I possibly can.

Bring on the funk!
Duchesse De Bourgogne Grand Cru? HELL YEA!!!

That's just disgusting!

{That I'm not going to be there.}

Great line up.

I'm taking solace in the fact I actually have some of those in my beer cooling container.

I'm crying because there are so many I don't.

The only two sour beers I have are Rodenbach Grand Cru and Rodenbach Alexander.

Well, that plus a case of my own Grand Cru.

The only Orval I've ever tried was poorly traveled. I'd love to try it on tap some day.


The Lindemans Cuvée René Gueuze is pretty good in a bottle, and their peche' is pretty good on tap, although not very well developed.

Lots there I've never seen or tried.

Some of the US beers are one offs just for this show,
some are being imported just for this too.
I am wetting myself.
