Gainsdalf the Whey Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 since getting involved with the medieval fighting 'scene' i've had a right hankering for mead (always fancied a bash at it but now it's a necessity) i've tried 'Waggledance' which is ale with some honey in it and liked that so i'm really looking forward to the 'real' stuff I've only had mead once. Someone brought it to my house, for what at the time, was the biggest nerd gathering to date. I think it was jessofalltrades. Anyway, I really enjoyed it. If I ever break 240, my reward is being allowed to ferment me some mead. 2 Massrandir, Barkûn, Swolórin, The Whey Pilgrim 500 / 330 / 625 Challenges: 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 31 32 34 35 36 39 41 42 45 46 47 48 49 Current Challenge "No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training.

Why not? Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'm a BIG fan of good beer myself, happily pay £10 for 4 bottles of proper ale. Mmmm..... Beer What do you consider a proper ale?

Why not? Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I love the American/Canadian craft ale scene, would happily pay for decent ales! My favourite at the moment is Granville Island - I bought a few cans back from Toronto and I'm saving my last one for my weddign this year!I would agree, however, I haven't found any that beat a good Trappist brew. 1 Long Term Goals: Spoiler 200# 245# Snatch 300# Clean and Jerk 380# 465# Back Squat 450# 500# Deadlift Planche Human Flag Front Lever 285# Log Clean and Press 1k Row under 3:20 Back Flip Bodyweight Turkish Get-up For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for the present life and the life to come. 1 Timothy 4:8 Never compromise.

Tomu-san Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 O. M. G. Mead. Last fall, I dragged my partner to the local Renaissance Festival. Neither of us had ever been and we weren't quite sure what we were getting ourselves into. However, we walked in and I ordered a glass of mead. Life changed. That shit is awesome and I actually bought a bottle and drank the entire thing on Thanksgiving. Moar mead!!! It also kind of satisfies my viking desires or like... mother of dragons or something. Whatever that urge is to wear random rags as dresses and eat meat from a spit and drink mead out of a horn. It's some strange viking/pirate/dothraki/barbarian fantasy, so just go with it.Chaucer's. It's probably the best (and most available) brand of mead I've found in the US. If you've got a Total Wine anywhere near you, they probably have it. If not, most liquor stores can special order it for you.

Why not? Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 There's a bar in Baltimore called Max's on Broadway. It was apparently listed as one of the top 20 beer bars in the world. They have 75 different beers on tap and 350 bottled. Every year they have a Belgian Beer Festival, where they replace all of their taps with Belgians. I went to the Festival one year and saw that there were 7 different beers that were 12.0% ABV. I drank all of them.
