Tequila-Tequila

Recently I've been curious to know what makes tequila different from other liquors. So I finally came across a video that explains just that. Turns out, that agave I've seen on bottles is not some exotic magical plant it's actually pretty common place at any grocery store, heck I've even seen full plants in some backyards. Kinda ruined the mysterious outlook I used to have of tequila. It's honestly kind of amazing seeing how cultures drinks of choice are heavily influenced by what they have available in their environment. It's nice to know no matter what people will find something to make alcohol out of some might call that " a cry for help".....they'd probably be right. Anyways back to the topic at hand agave are like a smoother cactus with less spikes and needles. Interesting enough they don't actually use the the leaf like stems of the plant instead they use the the main body of the plant cutting off all the stems. Definitely not what I expected. Also another nice tidbit of information tequila doesn't need to age like most liquors. It's kinda good to go from the start you could call it the cheerleaders of liquors. Sorry to the cheerleaders out there but in my defense I don't start the rumors..... I just fan the flames (evil laughter) Moving my little dick syndrome aside for the sake of returning to topic. Tequila is an interesanté drink; look I'll be honest I don't know if that's Spanish or not I just put an e with an italics and hoped for the best, but yeah tequila is a curious drink it's kind of known world wide as the fun time drink or the sip and forget. Never the sit around and enjoy a glass with guest. It's definitely not something I'd consider making myself  but still glad I took the time to get to know the process. That's enough of tequila for one day I'd like to raise a toast to the next time we can drink together.
      P.s. I'd like to start giving historical significance and other scholarly type facts on the drinks, but I know many might find that boring . So how about letting me know whether or not you'd all be interested in things like that or not. Honestly even if you say no I'm still gonna do it just not go full professor about it.

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...

Alcoholics Anonymous ( Guinness- extra stout)

Seeing as to how my last review was me at my worst I figured it would be good to see me at my best and most biased. So this time I'm going with arguably the bar for what a good beer should be. This time I'm actually really looking forward to having a swig. " down the hatch" Yeah that's just good beer. Smooth and little bit of tang too it. Something I don't usually like in beers but here it just works. Honestly you couldn't pay me enough to talk badly about this brew. The bottle alone is incredible the slightest of curves and amazing black and gold contrast. The harp that pays homage to the will of the Irish, a rich history for centuries old brew. Even out of the bottle thanks to the nitrogen it has an amazing look in a pint. A dark brew with a white foam crown. Truly royalty among beers. I know it sounds like I'm kissing ass here, and that's only because I am it's too be expected though when this brew is #2 for my favorite brews ever.   Ok ne...
