If you're going down to the Cote d'Azur, there's a neat little absinthe museum in Antibes. They serve up several absinthes at their bar in the cellar.
Antibes sounds good but probably not. We are going to visit Corsica with a sister in law. And I have several different pastis varieties in my liquor cabinet-Ricard, Pernod, Berger Blanc, and some cheap stuff just called Pastis 45(I think)
 
Who doesn't love working on walls that aren't square and plum? Luckily we have technology for gaps...

In an hour or so my wife and I are going to a local bar/restaurant/pool hall/t-shirt shop/head shop (all in one), as they just put a keg of LHMS on tap. Ordinary I'd grab a pint, but they also just put a keg of Pliny the Younger on tap, that's what's drawing me there this time.

A little earlier today, SN hazy IPA as I step outside my normal beer drinking. It's not bad... grapefruit, citrus, full body, low bitterness, definitely coats the palate but doesn't last too long. I gave a taste to my DIL who is not a beer drinker at all. Her reaction was a little happy dance, saying "It smells like Fanta! I could drink this!" Not sure what that says for this brew.🤔 Not really what I look for in a beer.

The Alabama beer scene is much better because of y'all's work. Thank you!
5 Points was a mecca for me in 1975. It obviously was nothing like today's beer scene but even back then it had a very different vibe from the rest of my travels in the Birmingham area. Almost cosmopolitan on a local level. Lots of great music to hear down there. And a more relaxed racial mix than some other places I spent time in.

I just noticed you mentioned absinthe not pastis. Modern French absinthe was recreated in a town 30 minutes from where we live, but I rarely see any offered.

I have a few absinthes in my cabinet. Lucid, which is so-so, Kubler (blanc), and Mansinthe (Marilyn Manson's brand, which is no longer in production). The Kubler and Mansinthe are quite good.

I haven't had any in a while. Maybe have a couple this weekend.
 
From America's oldest brewery. Tastes good!

My wife grew up in Pottsville, we live about an hour from there and I couldn't tell ya the last time I had one. Though we had some lord chesterfield last week. It was a regular beer for me in my younger days, yuengs and wings, great combo.

I'll be in France 2 weeks from tomorrow, I'll have to track some down.
