I always have thought that I enjoyed a good root beer. I've had some missteps in my life, however. Dog 'n' Suds was the first beverage that I ever got 'rust mouth' from. I didn't ever think that I would need to watch out for that. It's only happened a couple of times since, but that was my first, and worst. It ruined that brand for me forever- unfair as that may be. Jolly's never did a dang thing for me. Call me names or whatever, but I always thought it to be watery and undelicious. Enough with...

Meepes. So many things, so little time. Not that it's much to blog about, but still. After a very quiet and relaxing weekend the week has been quite busy, and the days long. For some reason I end up leaving work closer to 18 than 16 (I don't arrive exactly at 8, so after 16 is ok...), and I get quite a bit done - an awful lot is not done, though. The project plan I whined about earlier this year was finished and handed over to project management, who have given very good feedback on it. It's scary...

Having already tried their regular brand of Microbrewed Root Beer, I was surprised to find neat looking bottle of brew by Virgil. "Special Edition Bavarian Nutmeg" adorns the top of the label. Well, I don't really see how nutmeg would enhance the flavor of root beer, being from Bavaria or whereever, but the bottle is worth getting to hold onto at the very least. As for taste, it's definitely different...

A brewery in the States has launched the world's strongest beer. The drink - at 25% alcohol - is six times more powerful than a normal beer and twice the strength of a bottle of wine. And at £56 a bottle, Samuel Adams Utopias is also among the world's most expensive. Just 8,000 of the limited edition 24 oz tipple, sold in a copper kettle, have been brewed by the Boston Beer Company. Brewery founder Jim Koch said the beer was designed to be enjoyed slowly as an after dinner tipple. how...
