i really like when a beer is described as "sessionable", like they actually came up with a word for "this beer doesn't taste like poo poo, AND you can drink a gently caress ton of em"

yeah the fancy cocktail list is to give you ideas from the bartender's style, special things they do there, otherwise why would you go there? you can make your own manhattan at home, but you can't make a flaming purple whatsit with obscure liqueurs and house-made syrups/juices. if you want a manhattan then order a manhattan and they'll make you one

Kenny Logins posted:great news! I got a different bottle of Bulleit from a different store and it's completely different in a good way. the whole point of blending different barrels in the whiskey is to produce a uniform taste, sounds like they are not doing a very good job

Dislike button posted:bulleit just opened its first disillery like last year, before it was made in a seagrams? factory along with every other 'artisinal' bourbon whiskey bulleit rye is from the seagrams facility in indiana (aka mgp/ldi) like many other ndp ryes. bulleit bourbon is from kentucky, although they won't say exactly where. for many years it was distilled by four roses (formerly owned by seagrams, now kirin)

brown forman makes so much jd that they basically have to do that, nobody else can keep up with production bourbon is required to be aged in new charred oak barrels, but many whiskies from other countries can be aged in used barrels, so there's also a huge market for ex-bourbon barrels

Dislike button posted:jack is kind of expensive for what it is imo, Evan Williams, George dickel, Seagrams 7, jim beam etc all taste about the same and are cheaper. if I'm drinking whiskey on the rocks I'll usually do makers or crown over jack any day i can abide your preference but not your claim that they taste the same. nothing tastes like jack except jack, this is due to the lincoln county process using maple charcoal which gives it that characteristic sweetness. i can identify a jack and coke or a jack rocks purely by scent, and lol smdh if you can't

Poopernickel posted:if you live in america the only correct spelling is whiskey, tia this is correct, but regardless it is irrelevant how you spell it because the bartender cannot hear the difference when you ask for a whiskey vs a whisky. if you want scotch then say scotch. if you want bourbon then say bourbon. but in america, if you ask for whiskey it is unlikely you will get scotch

thankfully, the best kind of computer touching (software engineering) cannot be fully automated, because giving the automaton a clear specification of the system to design amounts to designing the system. abstractions may improve, but that just means more opportunities for abstraction-breaking failures that take an expert to diagnose. without human-level AI, i don't think this job is going anywhere anytime soon

Shaman Linavi posted:the only non-fruity IPA i've been able to drink is Ruination Double if you liked piraat try gulden draak. those are too dark for me though an ipa is ok if they don't go completely overboard with the bitterness (they usually do). the beer i'm drinking now is 64 ibu but i normally go for 50 or less what i don't understand are all the 13% bourbon aged stouts that taste like coffee and dirt. or sour beers, those are pretty bad too

a 6-pack is called a 6-pack, not a half dozen. a 12-pack could be called a dozen beers but i've usually just heard 12-pack. larger sizes like 24 or 30 are usually called a case
