booze update
What Im thinking is that I must keep going absolutely ballistic until the time descends where i may be forced to relinquish the darks arts after which i so, so lust.
LT42 We like to ease it in rather than see who can get to the finish line fastest.
Yeah some people are dumb like that.
RichM I found that the craft IPAs never had the % ABV on the taps or menus,
They do now. Pretty rare to not see the ABV listed. Necessary as some of these west coast IPAs get crazy high - 10-12% in some cases. And we’re pouring pints of the stuff.
jonattonyeah Lol, good to hear the US has upped their game big time!
Worst place I’ve ever drank beer is Aus, they serve pish in Schooners which are essentially half pint glasses with a different name
nice to see Ian has finally gone full Jackanory mode again, the mad old bastard.
jonattonyeah might aswell start serving pints of wine
As opposed to a cheese dodging Thalidomide 
Given our liquor pours, might as well. But, fuck it. Liquor distributors in California are essentially cartels. There are two who control everything and you have to order from them. It’s cheaper to go to grocery store and buy a handle of booze and refill bottles than it is to buy from Southern and the other group I cannot remember the name of. They fix prices. But you have no choice. And if you go monkey business and fill bottles with off-licensed booze, they’ll date bottles and will report to Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) when things seem awry. Buying booze from an unapproved vendor is very illegal.
But you make it work. Cartel dickhead wants you to stock a new bourbon they’re over-leveraged on, cool gimme 10 kegs of not bad but not great Pinot Noir below cost. I’ll pour a pint of that wine for a JC brother without a second thought.
Jonathan still blabbing on about the intricacies of running a bar in the Bay Area when he’s literally the only one interested.
Gotta fill the time while working, Dave. If one person finds it interesting, good in my book. Do you have anything to share? Any yellow whores to recommend? Needs pics.
bosstrabs for my sins, I enjoy them.
I made lemon and watermelon gin cocktails yesterday and got absolutely rat arsed. Off to Sasha tomorrow night and then down to the Summer house on Saturday. Bliss.
jonattonyeah I suppose it’s like the boozers here, majority owned by the big companies so sell all the same booze. It’s only the independents you get some real variety and interesting stuff
Can’t beat an ice cold pint of Carling Rich.
