Beverages and Blades - Traditional of Course

Maybe I was thinking of Armagnac rather than Calvados. Anyway, it's cider season, so working on getting through that Jersey Devil White Lightning with appropriate buffering.

Jack Black Jack Black what happened to the two ebony knives between the two photos? Are they using the stout as camouflage? :D

That looks like a serious stout, Jack. To your everlasting good health, friend.

Thanks Stuart, yours too my friend :) The stout was definitely a sipper, just as well at the price they charge for it! :eek: ;) :thumbsup:

But it isn't made form apples, I see. Maybe apple brandy is just a mistake.

Perhaps! :D

That could be, but blackberry brandy is a hunter's elixir. I keep a bottle of blackberry brandy in my hunting bag just in case of snake bite. I keep a snake in there, too.

LOL! :D Is blackberry brandy distilled from blackberries, or is it Brandy that has had blackberries added? Sounds pretty good either way! :) :thumbsup:

Either way is used, though the mass produced (and what I carry hunting) is the blackberry-flavored brandy (blackberry extract mixed with inexpensive grape brandy, I think). Making blackberry wine and then cooking it into brandy is more time-consuming and expensive, but more original. Blackberry brandy or ruby port make a fine post-hunt restorative.

I bet it does Stuart :) :thumbsup:

My grandmother used to make 'raspberry vinegar' for sore throats and colds. I have had it plenty of times when I was a kid, it wasn't the most pleasant thing to sip, but it seemed to help. I'm not sure how it was made though :)

It was handed to me as a sample in the street, must have been in the fridge 2 years! :D :thumbsup:

I've heard of non-alcoholic "beers", but have never tried one.
Don't plan to! (Yesterday went to a pizza joint with my wife and had a Guinness, some kind of German hefeweizen, and a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale--I like to mix it up!)
