Alcoholics Anonymous ( jägermiester)

Faire warning if you're a fan of jaeger you may want to skip this.Ok so for my first review I figured I'd start you all off with seeing me at my worst, so you can't complain and tell me I used to be different later on. I'm honestly regretting this because in order to give a proper review I have to actually have an ounce. The things we do for nothing sigh. "Down the hatch" Ok you're welcome and f** all of you. If I haven't made it clear I hate jägermiester. It is my least favorite alcohol period. Why, very simple because it taste like crap. Now I know what you're gonna say " but all liquor taste awful", yeah no shit Sherlock. I can handle that what I can't stand is the fact that it taste like cough syrup. At this point why am I not taking shots of Tylenol or Advil they'd have the same affect and taste. Whoever decided this was a good idea you suck. Honestly I know I'm being critical and I don't give a rats ass cause that's what it deserves. I can drink the most vomit inducing and gut wrenching alcohol no problem what I can't stand is the taste of cough syrup in my mouth. This had to be deliberate because you don't go from normal alcohol taste to cough syrup out of nowhere. What's worst it's only 35% alc, so it's gonna be tasting worst longer than most liquors. I remember the first time I ever tried this I was looking forward to it. Fast forward a few minutes later to me never being able to trust any man who thinks jäger is good. All that being said though I have to give credit where it is do and that is that the entire design of the bottle is a work of art everything the shape the graphic designs all feels so iconic.  The colors play so well together and the green tinted glass was ingenious and really helps it stand out from the crowd while hiding the coffee black color of the liquor. I honest to god have no clue what the hell that cross over a deer has to symbolize but damnit if it doesn't peak my interest and want me to display this bottle. This is a strange brand with incredible design but horrible product if you're the collector I'd say get it. The bottle is an incredible display piece if you're a drinker though maybe pass for a nice vodka if you're looking for something European.
     As for my thoughts on marketing I should probably say I would change the product itself but I doubt any company would ever really do that unless absolutely necessary. So all of my marketing and ad suggestions will avoid the contents of the liquid. Also my branding will focus on the states, as it's where I'm from and the culture I best understand. Marketing for any culture I didn't know would be unwise. I should also mention my strategy for this one won't be based on research and data. I will be making sure to do proper research for every drink after but for now I'm gonna keep it simple so this will be highly opinionated and mainly pulled out of my ass. Firstly I'm going to say that women probably aren't going to be a strong demographic for this drink. They definitely drink it but it's probably not there go too. If I had to wager a guess I'd say college boys and outdoorsy men over 40 honestly this is a tough one I don't think I can market to both directly but I'd say college men are probably going to go through a bottle faster which means they will probably be buying more so I'd focus my ads on them as my target demographic. My commercials and ads would hammer home nightlife and focus on fun. My tv spot would take place in a club and break away from the crowd to focus on one girl who will mesmerize the the pov character she won't be mysterious she'll be smiling and having fun and offer a drink of jäger. The tag line would be jägermiester "this is your time " or "time of your life" or “seize the moment”
      P.S. I thought about doing something with the name jäger since its German for hunter but then immediately realized having alcohol, a girl, and the word hunter in the same line of thought would be a dumpster fire waiting to happen.

Bee’s knees

Ok so I recently have come to realize how sad my situation is. I have more alcohol in my fridge then food. Now I'm not a big drinker. Except for social events I hardly ever drink at home. Sure I'll have a single beer every now and again or a glass of liquor, but those are once in a month type things. So in a way it makes sense I have more beer, but still I can't help but feel like maybe it should raise concerns. The one good thing about this blog and my dream of crafting my own brew is at least now I can always excuse the amount of alcohol I have as a necessity. Back on the crafting front I've come to realize why more companies don't go with mead. As luck would have it honey is kind of a main ingredient in mead and looking at recent honey prices I could hear my wallet cry in terror. Honey prices are insane so I'm gonna have to find a way to remedy this situation and keep cost down if I'm ever going to start a business. I considered starting a honey farm sinc...

A new challenger arrives.

I’ve recently become aware that one of the Sprouse twins decided to make his own mead, and am now convinced my ideas are being stolen by the world.  Damn you “the government”. You thought stealers, don't you just hate that feeling when you think of something then it feels like out of no where everyone else is doing it. In all faire was to the sprouts guy though he was doing it long before me. Look I’ll be honest I don’t know if it was Zack or Cody I can’t tell them apart even with names. Although I’m a bit relieved to see he focused on the wine aspect of mead as I was planning to market it and focus my brew more in a simple pint style or beer bottle drink. I’m not planning to make it to sweet just a bit sweeter then most ales. If it’s too sweet at that point I may as well just be drinking fruit juice. I definitely want a flavor profile that focuses more on the bitterness with some sweetness thrown in to make you look forward to the next sip rather than fear it. For now I’m going...

Home Brewed- Intro

So I’m sure we’ve all been there before. You know the moment you’re having a drink and realize this taste like shit. Yes ladies and gentlemen I am referring to the oldest beverage alcohol, the prize of the victorious and the prescription for whatever “ale’s” you. For centuries these tonics have serviced the world and it’s one of the few things many of us share a common interest in. You can be urban, “subourbon”, or rural we all enjoy a drink now and again some more than others right Justice Kavanaugh… I like beer too. Oh man I’m probably gonna catch hell for that joke but I just couldn't resist, I’ll admit I’m notoriously bad for catching low hanging fruit that for some may be considered a bit time sensitive. Back to my point though, one day I’m drinking and think to myself this taste like ass why don’t they make it you know not taste like shit? Why don't they make good beer? This eventually led me down a rabbit whole of thoughts till I somehow convinced myself getting involv...
