Try pale ales. They tend to taste fruitier, though that's only really if you have a beer palate already I guess.

Some beers do indeed taste fruitier, for beer. It doesn't usually come in different flavours because good beer is just water and grain flavoured with hops. If you want a sweeter drink and aren't into beer then that's fine too." fishmech posted:The reason water works for flowers is that it's the simplest way to keep them from wilting, supplying them with water, since they're still a bit alive.

If you want something sweet and alcoholic, you could always try a wine cooler. There are also plenty of hard ciders around if you don't want to look like a 17 year old girl. I've tried a few summer brews where they just stuck some fruit flavoring in, and it just tastes like rear end. rear end with a hint of lemon, but still rear end. Citrus with hops is not a great flavor combo. There's also the issue that sweet drinks tend to make hangovers worse. There are few things worse than a Margarita hangover. thrakkorzog fucked around with this message at 09:49 on May 31, 2016 |

thrakkorzog posted:If you want something sweet and alcoholic, you could always try a wine cooler. Or just actual wine, if you want something fruit flavored and alcoholic (and there are plenty of wines that are very sweet) That said I disagree that beer and fruit don't go well together. Fruity lambics can be great. And while citrus doesn't work well with hoppy beers, it does go extremely well with wheat beers.

It's so distinctly more bitter than normal beer that they loving named it bitter.

Hyperlynx posted:Sure, but how come it doesn't work, though? Fruits and some vegetables aren't plants like a cut flower is. A fruit itself doesn't have its own water transportation system, and even if it did it wouldn't matter since a ripe fruit is essentially already dead and done. Stuff like celery and carrots could since they're actually core parts of the plant (celery is stalk, carrot is root) and have everything necessary to make use of having water available.

So what's the scam here? I keep receiving email from some chinese source saying a company there has sought to register my company's .com name there as .cn and .hk names. They allegedly want to confirm that this company has the right to do that. I can't figure out what their angle is and how they will extract money from me if I respond.

photomikey posted:Scallions are a weed. If you buy a bunch of them for a quarter, put them in a potted plant in your windowsill, and water it every few days, you will have scallions for the rest of your life. They will outgrow the pot. I just learned this last year. How I got to 39 and never knew this, I'm not sure. And saving the quarter isn't even the issue, it's having fresh scallions and not limp ones that is the payoff here. This. This is what Stupid/Small Questions thread exists. Have you tried anything else, and more importantly, how come everyone does not already know this. (My first blush guess is that scallions can kill cats if the eat them, but)

kapalama posted:This. This is what Stupid/Small Questions thread exists. Just about any root vegetable will sprout if you stick part of it in the ground, provided it hasn't been cooked first of course. We've got garlic, onions, scallions, and leeks growing in our garden (granted these are all closely related plants), but you can do the same with carrots and potatoes too. Carrot blossoms smell just like cooked carrots  . Never tried beets or turnips or anything like that, but it's worth a shot.

bongwizzard posted:Because marketing booze to children is frowned on? I'm not sure why you are equating "fruit flavored" or "sweet" with "marketing to children" since literally every wine that exists is entirely fruit flavored and lots of it is sweet, same with many liqueurs, and very little of it is marketed to children. And, as many people have pointed out, fruit flavored/sweet beer exists and is actually pretty common.

Oh, I see! I guess I am in fact not beer snobbing hard enough... Come to think of it, I have tried kriek cherry beer. I assumed that was due to a special type of hops, rather than actually putting cherries in it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L1tr0PIx20 Does anyone have the Vine with this dancing guy in a green polo and khakis, and the speed and colors are distorted so it goes with some kind of funky remix playing in the background? The lyrics sound like "shup, dobbadoobadop. Shup, two, three, ye-ah. Shobbadooba dop. Shup, dootdoot how I love ya" and there's a whipcrack when he points up. Also I think the name of the vine was "Dream Feet" but written in nonstandard characters. Edit: The reason I couldn't find it is it wasn't a Vine after all. http://wunkolo.tumblr.com/post/140900519952 Jewel Repetition fucked around with this message at 02:25 on Jun 1, 2016 |
