The OFFICIAL BYOAC Alcohol (BYOB) thread
DrewKaree:
I used to live about the same distance from the actual building that's on the Icehouse label.
Funny thing is, for such a nice label, you'd think that building wasn't in a semi-ghetto!
Oh, and thanks, from all self-respecting Wisconsinites....I was starting to get requeists about forming a posse, and wouldn't you know it, I'm all outta rope...too many hassles. You saved me a lot of work ;)
SeaMonkey:
My family immigrated to a Menonite community in Indiana.
We had bees and made soap, candles, honey cakes, and mead.
I still love mead made with clover honey. My uncle used to make something called "homelelelelelel" (or something like that" with blackberries in the regular mead recipe, and it was fantastic.
I think dark beer makes a great chaser for Jagemeifter (spelling?)

hehe....It's Jagermeister...and I hate that stuff. As if black liquorice candy isn't bad enough, drinking it is even worse!!! :laugh: Even though it's a staple of my community back home in Michigan (even my grandmother drinks it), we have to bring a bottle to every house we visit, but I still can't stand it.
Sorry to veer too far off the beer topic, but if anyone is into dessert wines, I've got a doozy to recommend. Much like Saint w/ the Pete's...everyone that tries it goes crazy for it.
It's a tawny Port wine called Benjamin Port. It's very sweet, meant to be sipped at room temperature, after dinner. It's relatively cheap ($12/bottle), imported from Australia, and rivals some of the best from Portugal (The origin of Port wine). The nose is like a whiskey, and the initial flavor seems like it'll be just as harsh. It isn't. The aftertaste is amazing. If you can handle the sweet stuff, then I guarantee you'll keep a bottle stocked for yourself and one for guests.
If you try it, post here and let me know what you think. I plan on trying everything that's been recommended here. That'll be a fun night!

BTW, Seamonkey...You should change the title of this thread to "The OFFICIAL BYOAC Alcohol thread" or something. It's getting good, yon drinker of mead!!!!

My favorite beer.... Guinness. I love my beer dark, so dark, you can't even shine a light through it.
Ahh... someone mentioned Port. I love that stuff. So far, my favorite is a tawny Port called Whiskers Blake (I think). The aftertaste is a bit like raisins.
