I'll leave it in the first draft and see how I feel later, but I'm giving it some serious side-eye.
The full sentence is: "Every pint was poured to lip-smacking perfection."

Just back from a trip to Czechia. One of the highlights was descending into the Budvar brewery cellars to taste beers directly from the tanks.
The Tmavý Ležák (dark lager) in particular was markedly different to the pasteurised version you'll see above ground. It had a much richer, deeper flavour.
There were also two strong, wet-hopped lagers that were especially delicious, but those aren't on general sale.

But, also apparently, merely by saying its name it snaps into existence like Voldemort or Candyman or something...
@drinkstodon I invoke thee.

Advance copies of my book have just arrived! So exciting to see it for real rather than just a PDF. DK (my publishers) have done a great job.
I can’t wait to share it with you all. It comes out in September but you can preorder copies now. Link in bio.

287 followers · 1 posts · Server epicure.socialHi, who dis?
I have migrated over to epicure.social to hang out with fellow food and drink types, so here's my #Introduction again.
I'm a #DrinksWriter from #London.
My book #GinATastingCourse will be published in September 2023.
I write about #Beer, #Cider, #Spirits and #Cocktails. (Sometimes with a #Travel or #Sustainability angle.)
I mainly post about #Booze but also sometimes #Coding — I like to automate my boring admin using #Python and #ObsidianMD.
I also post about #Writing and particularly #NonFiction, and what it's like living the #WritingLife.

Plus the bartender made me an off-menu gibson with white truffle gin that tasted like a pickled onion monster munch. Good times.
TL;DR: Soma, v.g., hard recommend.

(Happily we have incredibly modest outgoings 🤣)

#ThrowBackThursday to a wonderful trip to Hepple Spirits in the Northumberland moors. We tramped through the wilderness in Walter's wake for an hour or so while he told us about the Douglas fir and bog myrtle he forages for his gin, and the juniper of course. Then we turned a corner around one such bush and found ourselves in a hilltop martini bar with Walter effortlessly engaging Host Mode to mix us all drinks. They were delicious.

Looking back I can't find any emails to either the distillery or a PR about them.
Most odd, but still kinda nice.

This is an ABSOLUTE BELTER. Seek some out: andulamangin.com
A savoury, umami gin from Ireland with a costal kiss and a spicy kick.
They make it with five different kinds of seaweed.
(This was a free sample for my book, BTW.)

It's the British Guild of Beer Writers annual awards dinner tonight, and I am up for an award for writing about beer and sustainability.
It's usually a fun evening, and I don't see why this year should be any different!
Best of luck to my fellow nominees for this and all the other awards handed out tonight.
