Learning To walk.

So Before this journey can begin I figured it would be good to at least have an idea in mind of what to make, because while I can learn the manufacturing process of all kinds of alcohol I figure that would be a bit much and would keep me from truly perfecting any brew I made; you know jack of all trades master of none. So with that I decided I would focus mainly on the brewing process of the drinks I really wanted to make. Personally I’ve always had a preferences for whisky. After years of subliminal marketing and social experiences I’ve just grown to really enjoy it. Whisky is the man's drink, whether you’re the work your fingers to the bone or the high class suave business executive whisky fits the mold. Whenever you think cool guy you think whisky, but you also need a drink for the sunday barbecue not just the depressing lonely T.V. dinner Monday night where you contemplate how your life has just become one mistake after another. " No one...just me...ok"Yes my fellow alcoholics we also need a simple drink so that you can say you’re being a responsible adult as you chug down 12 oz. of the best mood setter ever. So I wanted a drink that I wouldn’t have to wait a decade for, before it’s drinkable. Beer is great but let’s be honest it taste awful. Why’s it gotta taste awful? Because that’s what lets everyone else know how tough you are. Now I know what you’re thinking not all beer taste bad smirnoff ice and other fruity drinks exist… and to that I’d say you would never in a million years catch me drinking one of those princess drinks. Now I’m not saying I’ll never drink them I’m just saying you’ll never catch me drinking one. What a man does in the privacy of his home is none of your damn business. My insecurities aside I still wanted a drink that tasted good, but all good tasting drinks have a stigma around them. As luck would have it though during my detailed searches( and by that I mean wikipedia) I came  across a special drink that’s lost its popularity among the world recently. One that can have sweetness to it yet still carries around the tough guy brand. MEAD, yes it’s been awhile since this time honored Viking drink was well honored, it was the drink of choice for warriors of old and to top it off it was fairly sweet in fact mead is known as honey wine. So a higher than average alcohol content compared to most beers. A warrior's approval, sweet as you’d like it to be and can be ready in about 1-3 months it’s perfect. In all honesty this was a very drawn out way for me to simply tell you I was just gonna make whisky and mead. But you know sex would be a lot less appealing without foreplay. Well enough wisdom for today you alcoholics I raise a toast to the next time we can drink together.

P.S.~ Please do not be a smart ass with the whole malt instead of beer thing. I know the difference it doesn't matter leave it alone. I know those of you out there are looking to correct my mistakes I can assure you they’re written that way for simplicity. Feel free to have at my grammar and punctuation though. I know you’re just foaming at the mouth for it, you have my blessing.
