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...

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...
