Beer

[Ultima Shadow]

I hate virtually all beers. There are two I can drink.

1) Shmirnoff: Green apple Bite. Yes it's a bitch beer, but I like girly drinks!
2) New Castle.

Correction: you hate virtually all beers you've tasted so far.

To be honest, New Castle too is a very softcore beer with little actual taste when compared to the real deal. Like starlet said, the microbrews are the keys to enjoying beer for real. If you ever just so happen to come to Sweden, I'm gonna shove some sexy beer culture down your throat until you like it. <3

That drink sounds like it should be horrifying, yet it tasted like the most delicious Fruit Punch to have ever existed in this realm. If a god truly existed, that sweet elixir was the proof.

That does certainly sound interesting, and I'll have to try it out sometime. But I'm quite convinced that if there is any one drink in this world worthy of being called a sweet elixir or proof of a god's existence, then it is "Utopias".

...I'll explain this one a bit more. And while it is considered "beer" because of the way it has been made, it's so unlike any other beer that it would be more accurate to call it a damn fine aged sherry or cognac. Ye, while it does remind you more of a sherry or cognac in taste and characteristics than an actual beer, it really isn't quite that either. It's more like its very own kind of beverage, really.



It is one of the most expensive beers you can find though. It has been aged for 16 years on a wide variety casks. It's 27%, yet very sweet.

During the "Sweden Beer and Whiskey Festival" which I went to with two friends, I saw there was a single bottle of this beer. You could try 2 centiliters for about $22. I told them to try it. They thought it was insane to pay that much for a mere 2 centiliters any kind of beer. I told them it was worth trying at least once and eventually managed to convince them. They both ended up buying another 2 centiliters each. And one of them even ended up buying a whole bottle (just like me) later.

...but while this beer is on a level of its own and can hardly be called "beer", it's possible to find everything inbetween this and a normal, cheap light beer. There is a whole darn lot of really good quality beer out there, if you just look a little further than to your regular store.

This one's an old favourite of mine. Love it.



Edit:

Bishop's Finger is my go-to beer when I buy bottled. When I go to bars (as if I ever leave the house) I tend to prefer stouts.

Hey, Rantz? Ever been to the Beer and Whiskey festival? They've got a whole lot of cool wines and stuff to try out too. I'm sure you'd love it.
