Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

I've tried some "good" craft beers based on friends' recommendations and still not good. I think beer just isn't for me. I much prefer cider.

If you like cider but not beer, have you tried a mead yet? There's no need to keep trying beers if they're not for you.

[–] plaztek@piefed.ca 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I rarely consume alcohol nowadays (maybe 1-2x a year), but I'll keep that in mind.

Good for you. I'm a more frequent drinker but I think it's a good thing that it's going out of fashion -- it's definitely one of the most harmful intoxicants.

It's pricey too. I've been drinking alcohol since my early teens. If I had to estimate how much I've spent on booze during that time, it would probably be enough to pay for a decent car.

You should find a smoothie beer. They exist in all fruit flavours, I personally love them. And sour beers. Vault City and Funky Fluid are my two favourite breweries.

Recently visited The Wee Tap in Edinburgh and have tried lots of Vault City. None beat Azvex Operation Genome [26.05] Mango and Blackberry Ice Cream Sour though. Could put that in the meal deal isle with the other smoothies and no one would notice the difference.

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Ooh, haven't tried that one!

A beer shop close to me has a deal with Vault City (started two months ago): they get ALL the beers Vault City produces. I guess I'll be spending more money going forward lol.

Btw, if you like sours, try the Foundation by VC. It's what all their sour beers are based on, and it's really good!
