This isn't necessarily a beer thread. It's the middle of a day on a Saturday, /ck/, are you comfortable at your computer, enjoying any kind of beverage? What is your opinion of your drink of choice?

Samuel Smith's doesn't make a single bad beer, this India Ale included. It's probably my favorite IPA right now. It's not overly hoppy, it has a nice "beer' smell to it. Not too carbonated either, so it's super smooth.

I'm currently drinking homebrew made with a generous helping of amber malt so it has a bit of a coffee/burnt flavour to it. It tastes better than it sounds..

I went for a job once at Sam Smiths to work in their on-site laboratory. The small town of Tadcaster where they're based is also home to another large brewery (John Smith's) so the entire town stinks of beer.

Inside the office part of the brewery it's like stepping back to the Victorian era. I thought it was a bit creepy tbh but the staff were very nice. There was no free pint at the end of the interview unfortunately.

Not as much as you'd think but it depends on how advanced you want to go with it. There's plenty of scope for buying very high-tech equipment or you can just buy a beer kit, fermenting bucket and some bottles for about £40.

I've found this book very helpful too. It has pretty much everything you would ever need to know about homebrewing.

I finished my Captain Lawrence IPAs and the rest of my Knob Creek bourbon tonight. Both were good. For the longest time I skipped over Captain Lawrence, I don't really know why, but they are a pretty good brewery, from NY too, so they are fairly local and not too expensive (although everything is expensive where I live).

The Knob Creek was fine, though I was kind of sick of it after going through the whole liter.

I feel like an idiot. I thought you could sip dark rums without mixing. I went to my local package store and talked to guy for a recommendation. I wind up buying Myer's Rum Original Dark under his recommendation, not knowing which dark rums are good or not. I should have done more research but I was too motivated to try a dark rum. I'm not sure if it was since I haven't let it sit in the freezer for a bit, but when I tried it, it was horrible.

The only dude I know who buys Grey Goose is my sisters boyfriend. He's rich, but I know far richer people and he's by far the flashiest.

He just has nonstop bottles of it.

So /ck/, I'm tempted to make a very steep purchase. I received a newsletter from a liquor store that I go to. Their new items, clearout stuff, sales, etc. Additionally, it had something rather unique. A little article on Deanston scotches and what they have available. Among them, two bottles of 30 year. Available at $275. Probably around 300 after tax.

Threw down on Sam Smith's Nut Brown Ale today. Good stuff.

I recently finally found good beer store in the area I moved to not too long ago. Got my usual favorite Westmalle, along with a few others. I already drank a Southern Tier Creme Brulee stout, which was way too damn sweet.
I've still got a Karmeleit Tripel, and an Old Crafty Hen. All new to me, although I think i've had the Tripel before.

This (but 2012). It's the first South American chardonnay I've had that wasn't horrible. Plus it's organic grapes which I guess has to count for something. I'd probably buy it again if I didn't have any better alternatives. Always nice to explore underprivileged wine regions, it appeals to my egalitarian sensibilities.

It was something about unhealthy levels of arsenic or lead in the wine so I guess i've been slowly poisoning myself with cheap wine over the years.
