Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

contaminating is such a strong word and yes, with water it is fine.


It is just that with lemonade it has such an interesting and unexpected flavor, the same with Pastis or Ouzo.

i might try lemonade w/ arak, but the only absinthe i have is from a local friend (who makes it from an 1890's Swiss recipe) that i could not adulterate.

tonight is Chivas on the rocks.

Never had arak, had to Google to see what it is. Sound interesting and probably a good candidate for the lemonade experiment.

Your absinthe does sound too good to mix.

Now I want something with anise in it, so I am going to have a bit of Tsipuro.

cheers

I'm giving Killians stout a shot tonight. For a whopping $7.50 before deposit, I hope it was worth it. Wish me luck?

Oh, and a had mostly Ballast Point Sculpin IPAs. Ive decided its my favorite IPA. its floral, citrusy and spicy in the middle relative to other IPAs... very subtle. Its properly crisp on the front and bitter/hoppy in the aftertaste as an IPA should be ofc.

New Belgium Ranger IPA, the beer that makes me feel guilty about not riding more.



Thanks Ranger.

I've had it and thought although it is a bit over-hopped and lacks balance, it was quite drinkable.

I was assuming he meant that he was drinking swill himself, since that's what we all expect.

As for me, Mendocino Brewing Co. Eye of the Hawk.

Ahh yes, that makes more sense.

"Swill" must be the "cheap malt liquor" he refers to on occasion. I've sampled several of the gas station offerings and found them to be acceptable. They are economical, readily available and certainly get the job done.

Had some Sapporo and Asahi for lunch yesterday to celebrate M's Day early. Sapporo can be quite malty in the aftertaste, very nice.

Followed that up with Hitachino Red Rice ale at home with the bro and some Pyramid Apricot. Hitachino is good stuff, but on the pricey side.
