Indeed I did. To another 250 years, and many more after that -- 2 minutes at a time, of course!

Isn't it grand that there is so broad a diversity of views here on Kevin's Watch...and such tolerance of that diversity.Menolly wrote:matrixman wrote:I could not agree more strongly.Loremaster wrote:Beer = revolting.
I'm in Lore's and neo's camp.
...although the occasional black and tan at the medieval faire goes down smooth a couple of hours after a bottle of mead.

Yup. Best place on the intarwebz, hands down.
I don't mind a beer now and again, but Guinness is a bit too too for me. I like Mexican beers generally, mainly because I can put a slice of lime in 'em -- the lime seems to cut whatever it is about beer that makes me shudder.![Shocked 8O](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
I picked up some Woodchuck limited-edition Fall Cider at the beach last weekend. It's quite tasty.

I've been trying to find some hard cider ever since Stone and Av mentioned it to me a couple of years ago. I'm starting to see some locally, but none of the brands Stone has recommended to me; only American ones. Do you recommend Woodchuck for a novice hard cider experience, ali? Or should I hold out for the imports that were recommended, in case I ever come across them?aliantha wrote:I picked up some Woodchuck limited-edition Fall Cider at the beach last weekend.

*thinking maybe this should go into the Beer thread, or the Drink of the Day thread, in The Galley*
...how was that for forum pimping, High L-rd?

Fifth. And Menolly, I find that Woodchuck is pretty good...especially when you're plastered, though to be fair, I haven't tried the kind that aliantha has spoken of... it's definately a step above beer, but not nearly as good as straight vodkaMenolly wrote:Too late.dlbpharmd wrote:I'll third that.matrixman wrote: I could not agree more strongly.

To be fair, I have to admit I enjoyed the bottle of homebrew Malik sent me. But that was unlike anything else I ever had. Way better than Guiness or any other beers I have tried.
Ooo, and I do like a straight ice cold vodka served in a cucumber shot. But, I have always envied beer drinkers at picnics and sporting events. You don't often find hard liquor at a picnic, and wine is such a fuss sometimes. If I find I like hard cider, I could see it being my beverage of choice at a game or picnic.Orlion wrote:And Menolly, I find that Woodchuck is pretty good...especially when you're plastered, though to be fair, I haven't tried the kind that aliantha has spoken of... it's definately a step above beer, but not nearly as good as straight vodka

The first time I ever had hard cider was on draft at a Celtic festival. The day was hot, the pipes were skirling, the drink in my hand went down like apple cider. I was weaving in no time. ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/wink.gif)
If you like apple cider, Menolly, you will like this stuff. Woodchuck seems to be what I can get here locally, altho I haven't made a huge study of it. I don't remember what brand they had on tap at the festival.
