News to me, can't say I've seen many out here that advertise it. But Norwegian beers will often use little 1-6 ratings for bitterness, sweetness, and body; so I guess we already have a system. And, just... Don't care about what the international stuff does? I dunno.

They do like having things tell you how many "standard drinks" each craft beer is worth... Which in the case of the 16% ABV "Times 8" from Lervig, is quite a fucking few.


Also it's sweet as hell. Like drinking semi-carbonated syrup. Beerup. I personally don't consider that an endorsement.

That'd be kinda helpful for avoiding gross fruity beers, but when it comes right down to it you generally just have to taste the bloody thing and see if it's any good. Also I could not make heads nor tails of any of the IBU charts that a quick google turned up.

Especially since, between 1 and 6, most examples will rate themselves as a firm "lol fuck if I know".

I regret to inform you that I have run out of La Fin Du Monde. However, I have other beer, so it is not the end of the world.

Went to a costume party at a bar. Had three shots of Fireball, partied with my wife, an alien, a T-Rex and Mother Nature, won $25 and some shot glasses for funniest costume. I'd like to give thanks to Mr. Fireball Whiskey for turning a $50 night into merely a $25 night and some nice memories.

I had a horrifying concoction of Fireball and ginger ale last night, with the rim powdered in cinnamon. Limping christ that was saccharine...

But hey, the bartender was bored, so I asked him if there was anything fun and weird that he wanted to make but that nobody asks for. I'm guessing he wasn't as bored after my reaction!

Double post, as is only fitting for a Christmas miracle... Had a few spiced Christmas beers tonight, thought not entirely too many on account of my account being not entirely too full. Tomorrow's (hopefully) the day I get money, so I had to be a teensy bit careful with the ol' "drinking" concept this time... I still tip though, I'm not a barbarian. Lots of nice people there tonight, which is always nice.

Tonight, if my stomach is willing to put up with it, I get to try my homemade mint schnapps* in a chocolate frosty. I was going to do it earlier, but the schnapps was too vodka-heavy and not enough mint. Unlike fruit-based vodka infusions, it's quick and you don't end up with gasoline-flavored fruit that you try to use on pancakes or something.

*good rye vodka and candy canes, add enough candy cane that it stops tasting like vodka or toothpaste (toothpaste means you're close)

It's not so bad, I've got a fair amount in savings (which is good, because today was not payment day after all! It's expected to come tomorrow...), and I've been good about not drawing from savings this year so I've still got a few no-fee withdrawals before January... But yeah.

Funny thing, when all your friends are bartenders and beers cost $12 a pop, dole money has a tendency to run out.

Made some horrid pumpkin pie mead a while back. Entirely too much clove and not near enough of anything else so all you taste is clove.

Now that it's time for eggnog to hit the shelves and I find myself currently lacking in the whiskey department, it makes for a pretty good substitution.

My wife got a coupon for an online wine shop, so now we have nine bottles of assorted wines and champagnes chilling in my minifridge. It's gonna be a fun Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The vodka didn't have enough mint, so I powdered part of a small candy cane and added that to the Frosty. So 1 small frosty, some cocoa powder, we'll call it 2 shots of homemade schnapps, and a bit of powdered candy cane. Could have been more flavorful (more of both flavors), but it was cold, which reduces flavors. Also, cold is good this winter where it's...down to 75 F and humid.

I would rank "cold hot chocolate" ahead of "frosty and brandy", but not by much.

Edit: the somewhat fruity rum and chocolate doesn't taste like much, either. I'm not sure I put enough booze in. Or cocoa powder.

I just drank a single, measly beer, but it feels more as though I received a blood transfusion. I've gone from feeling half-dead and unappreciative even of this lovely weather, to... well, I'm certainly feeling more cheerful.
Oh, Victoria (Bitter), you're always there for me.



I was gonna put this in the Happy thread but I figured it'd fit better here. Somebody'd probably think I had a drinking problem or something. Pffft, those normies. They would never understand.

Space is long and dark and empty
Quite a ways 'tween friend and friend
And you never know nobody
When your journey's at an end
So the place you gonna find me
'Tween the times I have to roam
Is in the bar around the corner
Where they make you feel at home

Belly up to the bar friend
Have another round
It's long cold and lonely
'Tween the times we hit the ground
One day I'm gonna settle down
Never more to roam
But for now the bar's a spacer's home
So far away from home
Belly up to the bar, friend, have another round.
It's long dark and lonely tween the times we hit the ground.
Someday I'm gonna settle down, never more to roam...
(ha) the rooms of spacers are so far away from home <3
