If you are in Rome and so on......

 

[Jake84]

You’re not in Rome, more likely in Marseille or anywhere close in Provence.

I am drinking a Lagunitas from Cali, Maximus Ale, a DIPA (Double IPA). Standard format for America, 12oz and 8,2% ABV.

Well, it's been called "The Province" since Roman times, so does that count?

A little bit more to the north. At the edge of the Drome provencale, half an hour away from Nyons, up in the hills. I could spend the rest of my life here.

Spent the last 10 days in Italy and I need something other than bland, fizzy lagers. Not exactly the best beers in the world there IMHO.

 

[Euroamerican]

^--IMHO, the lighter lagers work really well with hot weather, but will leave you looking for something more eventually.


Alaskan Brewing's limited summer release: Fireweed Blonde. A light ale, no hops to speak of, with some fireweed honey in the mix. Nice, but not "wow" on the first try. Will try again tonight, as I bought a sixer!

 

[BCNTM]

Needed a 'toddy' tonight - whiskey - hot water and sugar - been outside building all day and the more whiskey in it the less pain in my joints

You nailed it there. They were good whilst it was hot, but after a while the lack of real flavour started to kick in and you couldn't really distinguish between one or the other.

 

[Jake84]

This is a great beer not new to me, but arguably one of the best from the Netherlands, widely known and readily available too.

Not a massive wine drinker but I know what I like, generally Malbecs and Pinot Grigiots. I am firmly in the "six quid a bottle" camp - if I need to pay more than that to make it taste good, then I'll find one cheaper that I like the taste of.
Mostly bought this Californian one to wind up LAWorkerbee and ended up enjoying it, then googled it and it's a rebadged EJ Gallo wine. That doesn't bother me a whole lot, but I like the idea of it not being from a massive company, so felt a bit sad after.

Tasted good though.

 

[Picanha]

My new favourite lemonade: Hopster - a hop lemonade very refreshing not so sweet and with an excellent hop taste

 

[Picanha]

I also like Malbecs a lot they pair very well with red roasted meat/ BBQ.

As for white wine I`m a bit sensitive to the acid so I found this one, it is made using a special LO3 procedure and thus is only mildly acid. I also became a fan of the Grauburgunder and Weissburgunder lit. white and gray burgundian aka pinot gris/grigio

My other favourite white (green) is the portuguese "Muralhas de Moncao"

I found this one at an EDEKA store for about 5 €

Here is an english review of the German Grauburgunder but those mentioned in the article may be much more expensive

White And Gray Burgundian

German wine and Riesling are practically synonymous, and considering the quality of fine German Rieslings, it’s no wonder. But Germany grows other varieties as well, of course, and quite succ…

I'd be up for a sip of that Burgundian, even before I read the review!
