@AviD Pink bottle, shmottle. From time to time, I drink actual pink beer. opencraftbeer.com/rubaeus

Scott Pack

Personally, I don't really care what the bottle looks like, so long as it's yummy.

Pink beer may be a bit much, if only because of the Pepto problem.

AviD

@Xander that is disturbing.

cherry flavored beer? yknow, for kids.

Xander

@AviD Here's another. opencraftbeer.com/lindemans-framboise-lambic-ale

AviD

@ScottPack my association is with strawberry quik.

Xander

@AviD No, in both cases, they're raspberry.

AviD

@Xander still berry flavored.

Xander

@AviD Yeah, but the predominant flavor is a lambic is the wild yeast, not the fruit. The fruit simply tips them towards the wine end of the adult beverage spectrum in terms of general appeal.

Lindemans in particular I'd think would work well with the sparkling wine crowd,

And since I enjoy any beverage that contains fun flavors, and especially those that contain alcohol...I'm good with it.

AviD

you should try vodka-spiced strawberry quik.

Xander

@AviD I'm not a big vodka fan. Vodka is the Bud Light of spirits. All buzz, no flavor.

AviD

you should try rum-spiced strawberry quik.

Xander

@AviD Ha ha.

No.

Strawberry quik doesn't qualify as "flavor." The only category it falls under is "artificial."

Evening all! For a second I thought the chart had gone all topic 4 for a bit, but I'm glad to see it's back to booze

Xander

@RoryAlsop I never pass up a chance to turn the topic back to booze.

Rory Alsop

You do a good line in beers. In assuming you have a CAMRA equivalent in the US.

Xander

@RoryAlsop Yup, the Brewer's Association, which has some strict (and occasionally arbitrary) guidelines around who does or does not qualify as a craft brewer.
