Hopstretch Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Darling Brew Native Ale. One of the very, very, very limited selection of micros on offer around here. Better than the alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Did a solo expedition today to give the kinder and Claire a break, I ventured out solo to see the Saxon Switzerland National Park with it's high sandstone bridge at the top of a ridge and a Saxon fortress castle ruin built into the top of the ridge itself. Good stuff. I had a Radler half beer half lemonade thing that I did not mean to order at the top of the hill but it was nice anyway. Tonight we went to see the Historic Green Vault of Augustus the Strong, and all four of us were amazed by it. We had a great Saxon meal of many porks and potatoes along with a couple large Radeberger unfiltered Pilsners, special to the restaurant. I'm having a couple of nightcaps of German liqueurs now. The first was Radeberger Bitter Original Krauterlikor, which was great, and then Withener Gebirgskraute, which is good but not as good. There are a couple others in the hotel bar I mean to try tonight. Pics updates later. Prost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agile_one Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 That's just Darling, Stretch. You must bring some back to the states. Prost! And a big Zum Wohl! back at ya', Al. I am enjoying an Elder imported from Mayberry courtesy of the aforementioned DOTU. Thanks, Al! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellylh Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Smith and Cross and rocks. i don't know why any reviewers would say that this isn't a sipping rum, because it's very complex and delicious. It is a sipping rum for "special" people. Shiner Bock, from a can Didn't know they made it in a can or exported it. Having some 2009 Nieto Senetiner Reserva Malbec - not bad.

grawk Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 I've gotten shiner up here for years...but now they've gone back to producing it all in shiner, and started canning it. Canning is the new thing for small brewers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Last night -- alternated between the two La Posta malbecs -- as Jacob predicted, both are excellent. The Angel Paulucci is on the jammier, sweeter, fruitier side -- but still well within my tolerance -- and the Pizzella Family is on the earthier and sometimes spicier side, so of course I prefer the latter.

We arrived in Prague and immediately were fleeced by a taxi driver who charged us a ridiculous price for a 10 minute drive. Oh well, I hadn't read the guide book on that exact location and issue, and I didn't know the exchange rate even remotely so these things happen. Had a copule good beers to dull the sting. First a Pilsner Urquell (empty one on the left) and then a dark Kozel Cerny sitting along the river outside our hotel just under the Charles Bridge. Tonight with dinner, I had a Beton (concrete) cocktail made with Becherovka and tonic. That was very tasty. Then I had a "half-dark" beer by Staropramen. Also tasty.

cetoole Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) Al, I will be watching your progress in Prague with my notepad out. Looks like a good start, save for said fleecing, which I now know to watch out for. Edited July 2, 2011 by cetoole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) Just got back from a 4.5 hour Segway tour of Prague that I did with Alden and it was a blast, even though it was supposed to be only 3 hours. Ric would have loved it because it was a movie tour of Prague and it featured movie clips on a portable DVD player of many movies filmed in Prague, although more often than not it was supposed to be other European cities: Amadeus, Van Helsing, XXX, Europtrip, Bourne Identity, Mission Impossible, Bad Company, and The Prince and Me. We also stopped in a micro brew pub inside the old monastery, where I had an IPA! and a nice hoppy dark beer. Pics tomorrow, especially if the Czech Internet cooperates. Colin, I will send you a link because you would enjoy it. The guide was a Brazilian guy named Renee and the woman from the office, Misha, joined us as well. They were great. I just drained the last of a mini bottle of Becherovka from the minibar and I may just have another. na zdravÃ!

Voltron Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) I was beat yesterday but today felt good and my son was in heaven on the Segway. Fun stuff. Ok, another Becherovka coming up! And I would have told you I was in Cinci, by the way. Edited July 2, 2011 by Voltron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
