What are you drinking now?

[davidabcd]

Sauerkraut. It's all about sauerkraut!
Should I mention hot Italian sausage?

I have rediscovered sauerkraut, recently. Over a lifetime, sometimes one may forget.
I do think I've met my match as far as a hotdog loving goes.

different back then.

i recently saw someone say Dragon's Milk was a gateway stout. I couldn't disagree more. I've had many and Dragon's Milk is still top-shelf.
Great photo.

The brand started at Tiger Stadium and is exactly what you find at the store.

Can you hook me up with that info/website?
I looked, granted it was many years ago, and I was never led to think it was simply the product off the shelf. I had it in my mind that there was some hidden product somewhere that I couldn't nail down or have.
Edit: Because if you're right, I'm going to have a party, invite 30 people and feature that dog. Apparently, I'll just have to simmer them for some hours first.

+20! Most of my RIS brews are Dragons Milk clones!

Sauerkraut and beer. Simmer. Can't go wrong.

Maybe some finely chopped onion. Spicy mustard. You know.

Dragons Milk clones

As I mentioned above, I've had many varieties, but the one that I wanted to duplicate was Dragon's Milk.
Viva la Dragon's Milk!!!

The 1st Russian Imperial Stout I ever had was Old Rasputin, many many moons ago. Could only manage about half. It goes down like water now. They all have a place and time. If you ask me, we're getting to the end of beer development so it's just going to be this vs that beer/personal preference. Of course, that's why HB'ing is so awesome.... customization! OT Eggnog....

Leffe beer while in Kiev. They don't have any Ukrainian beers at this restaurant. I'll report back later when I find a Ukrainian beer.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Is 369 a lot?? Guess your having mussels. So, uh, vacationing at the center of US politics?.

Divide all prices by 25 for cost in US dollars. Everything is very inexpensive here... And that restaurant was very expensive in touristy area.

 

[davidabcd]

Uh, oh.

For some reason my wife said "Hell F***ing No!" when asked about a vacation there. I said it was cheep, must be she doesn't like mussels. Enjoy your trip!

OT...in hot tube debating next drink. 6hr of solid sleep in last 3 nights. Probably zonk if I had one right now..

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Uh, oh.

If I decifered your post correctly, No I will not bring in moderators! [emoji6]

That was me. To me it was the first barrel aged beer I actually enjoyed and that made me want to seek out more so in that respect, it was a gateway for me.

In addition to that, I can get a 4 pack of dragons milk for less than a single bomber of some of the local stuff around here making it more approachable for people who are new to BA beers.

I do agree though that dragons milk is top notch. Still one of my favorites!

It's actually a lively beautiful city, and very safe if you look at crime statistics. The Crimean peninsula and a couple of the eastern provinces are dangerous right now, but they're far, far from Kiev. Don't let the news stations scare you away from this amazing city.

And up next tomorrow is a tour of Chernobyl and Pripyat...

Yikes! 6 hours in three nights?! I'd be worrying about passing out in the hot tub without a beer!

I love that they sell it at Kroger. It's $14 or $17 (don't recall) per 4-pack but I don't mind. I did make an extract clone of it using the NB Dragon's Silk recipe. I have to say, the recipe designers at Northern Brewer did a great job.

 

[max384]

Next stop was a brew pub that I can't recall the name of. They had a few beers brewed onsite. I tried their blonde. It was fine.

 

[max384]

And after having a couple at the brew pub, I stopped at a store by my Airbnb apartment. I'm not sure what I ordered, but the cashier said the brewery is "owned by Chernobyl." I think something was lost in translation... Well, it's not glowing anyhow. Lol. It appears to be the Ukrainian version of a crowler.

It's okay. Not great. Not bad. For $3.50 for two letters, who am I to complain?
