I only started drinking a few months ago after a lifetime on teetotaling. The only alcohol I like so far is hard seltzer, cocktails, and mead. Thanks

Communist Thoughts posted:god help me i like bougie IPAs Fun/vaguely cspam thing about these guys, Japanese beer tax law is a loving shitshow of prewar "western decadence to analyze but discourage" and postwar "horizontally integrate the entire country with every lever possible", making it one of the few developed countries to effectively ban homebrewing with a commercial beer production tax that must be paid but has a high minimum quota. There's a lot of playing around the edges, selling kits for near-beer and near-sake with a big old "fermenting this for longer than two days is illegal, and it's very illegal to ferment it for two weeks! who would want to do that anyway?" disclaimer or supply industry for microbrew sake, but additionally Hitachino does a thing (with plenty of self-interest in helping meet their own quota at first, surely) where you come in and brew on their smaller-scale equipment.

Thanks Do not repeat the mistake I made once as a youth and get hammered on smirnoff ice or any of those flavored malt liquor drinks. Far and away the worst hangover I've ever had, worse than getting drunk, doing some lines, and getting way more drunk. Does anyone use jiggers when mixing drinks at home? I like the consistency of doing the same thing every time, but I've been called out as a weird man because I do.

My partner mostly just wants to do shots these days so I've been constantly making limoncello (you can make a batch in just a few hours sous vide), and from Dave Arnold's book: PB&J vodka, and Cafe Touba (infuse rum with coffee in a whipping siphon, then clarify it by mixing it with milk and straining out the curds, then add sugar syrup with Grains of Selim mixed in) Doing goofy poo poo like this is basically my hobby now. I've also got lemongrass vodka and turmeric gin and jalapeno tequila on hand right now. Simple syrup, demerara syrup, cinnamon syrup, ginger syrup, chicory syrup, caramelized onion syrup. I've made wormwood liqueur that can pass for Malort.It sure would be nice to have people over and make drinks for them!!!

Communist Thoughts posted:your jalapeno tequila for real get a whipping siphon because it takes all of 10 minutes to make jalapeno tequila and more importantly, you can get a decent amount of the actual pepper flavor without it being overbearingly spicy my favorite drink ive had with it is from the Death & Co coctakil book Fresa Brava muddle one strawberry in your mixing tin 2 oz jalapeno tequila 3/4 oz lemon juice 3/4 oz yellow Chartreuse 1/2 oz simple syrup strain out the strawberry but the drink will still be pink

Hi thread, what's your go-to bourbon? I've been getting into it more recently, and am about to finish a bottle of Buffalo Trace, which I enjoyed. Looking for something a little nicer, hopefully for less than $50 but I don't really drink hard liquor that often so I'm willing to spend a little more if it's worth it because I'll definitely get mileage out of it.

I feel like Oregon brewers have been phoning it in the last few years. After the “Hazy” phase, it seems like everyone gave up. Admittedly, InBev taking over half the shelf shape might have something to do with it.
